Right, about time I did this - hi!! I'm Nat and I draw fantasy art!

I'm usually inspired by my own D&D characters, and I'm trying to make things as dramatic and cool as they are in my head. I hope people are happy to be around while I'm trying to do that 💖✨

A scene of a study lit by warm light. The foreground shows a ginger gnome (Helfi) on the right, leaning their upper body across the table top and resting their left arm out in front of them while their right, a gold prosthesis, is tucked in and being used to rest their face. Helfi is watching their mechanical bird companion (Berty) sing a tune, the both of them haloed by the window behind them. Further to the left of the foreground a small mechanical suit sits unused atop a stack of books. The background contains shelves of books, as well as different knick-knacks: an old golden prosthesis labelled "ol' reliable"; a pressed flower; an alchemy set up; goggle hung up on a tool pegboard; an unclear framed portrait; and a gold and glass, syringe-like gun.

A landscape painting showing a wizard blasting a lightning bolt. They're flanked by a crackling storm cloud, small sparks of lightning are shooting out and illuminating the surrounding clouds, and it billows away from them from the force of the blast. The spell itself is a bright blue and white, glowing and shooting off frame in a dark environment. The wizard is moving backwards and their hair, long, dark and braided, is flattened to their back and the ends fly from between their legs with the force of their movement. A single hand is outstretched to cast the spell.

A black and white painting of a drider from the waist-up. She is naked, and holds her left hand up in front of her chest, looking down at her palm with wide eyes and a too-wide open mouth. She has eight eyes, a crescent moon on her left cheek, and her mouth, full of sharp canine-like teeth, tears into her cheeks, joined by a few strands of flesh. She has striking, silk-like white hair, that falls behind her and over her left shoulder.

A red-skinned tiefling, her right hand reaching up, her tail lightly coiled under her, and floating in space with her left leg outstretched while her right is drawn towards her torso. She has a classic, pointed devil's tail, adorned with three gold rings, and curled ram-like horns - the tips of which are black before fading into her red/pink skin tone. Her tail and other limbs share the same black to red gradient. She wears a primarily black outfit, with an asymmetrical cloak, different length boots, and dark trousers, embroidered on the seams with celestial-style imagery of stars, moons, circles and suns. Her top is a white/cream colour, with a gold trim around the collar and on either side of its fastenings. She is smiling, a gentle but happy expression, and her eyes are wholly white and glowing, with a third, vertical eye on the centre of her forehead. Her dark hair is billowing behind her, and she has bangs that rest between her horns.

The First Dance 💙💜 Rian x Kylan
How the soldier and the songteller confessed their feelings in me and @mooglemade.bsky.social 's RP ✨

#TheDarkCrystal #AgeOfResistance #Gelfling

Romantic art of Kylan & Rian. In the first panel Kylan is standing in the moonlight, holding onto his sleeve and smiling sheepishly. On the second panel Rian is reaching for him, smiling fondly.

Sparkling swirls are framing each of the panels, containing the following dialogue:

Kylan: Is this... a dream? Just... tell me I won't wake up from all this to nothing but my songs about you. Tell me it's not a dream.

Rian: Even if this was a dream...

Rian & Kylan kissing. Their eyes are closed and Rian is gently touching Kylan's neck.

The dialogue reads:

Rian: Even if this was a dream... As long as we're together in it...

Rian & Kylan dancing together in the air, lit by a dramatic spotlight above them.

The dialogue reads:

Rian: As long as we're together in it... I want to keep dreaming.

Quote with your very first #art of your OC vs. the latest

Two years difference!!! A) they now actually look like a gnome and, B) The first one took multiple days to finish, the second one only took a day 😭
#dnd #ttrpg

A gnome (Helfi) with ginger hair and a deep blue/red outfit. They wear a pair of shorts, a black crop top, boots and a pair of goggles around their neck. Their right arm is a golden prothesis. Written next to them is a short list that reads "Artificer; Little guy; Tall for a gnome (and a liar they're only 3ft)"

A gnome (Helfi), ginger and dressed in brown and blue. They wear a nice coat, a turtleneck underneath, and have around their waist two belts, one holding a spellbook. Their outfit is accented with gold: their prosthesis, on their shoulders, in the form of buckles, and along the rim of their boots. One hand is raised, in a white work glove, while the other, their prosthetic, is tucked into their pocket.

The pen is mightier than the sword 🖋️📚

-is especially true when said pen is writing in a spell book. First time finishing full art for this NPC, which is insane considering Helfi is trying to smooch them, but last time I was drawing them they died so 🤷
#dnd #ttrpg #art

A half-elf, half-dwarf (Angel) standing with a spell book in one hand and the other gesturing off to the side. They have tan skin, dusty brown hair that is tied in a messy plait, and wear simple adventuring clothes: boots, pouches and leather armour. Their hands and forearms are wrapped with cloth that glows with arcane runes inscribed along its length.

And the more I know the less I seem to care 🎶👺

THE TRIO ARE DONE, I CAN DRAW THEM HOWEVER I WANT NOW RAHHHHHHHH‼️ I did start drawing Gentu here and immediately realized that his short ass is my son
#art #fanart #GoodKidBand

A boy (Gentu) with a green mohawk sits on the corner of a roof top. He looks out on a sunset and shields his eyes with his prosthetic arm. His face is robotic, made to look like a Tengu mask, and he smiles widely while leaning back and kicking out a leg. To his right is a spray paint can and to his left is a billboard advertising a soda ('Bubbly') that is cut off from view - he has graffitied it was a crude drawing of his own face.

Late Night Study 🦇🔮 #illustration

Three girls gather around in the center of the painting as the witch (middle) casts a magical spell in Scarlett’s room (vampire.) The character to her right is Frankenstein’s daughter. The character sitting by the window is a vampire. We see books, pages, drinks, spread across the floor.

hello, #portfolioday! 🐸🌿

my name is ilona and i'm a digital artist who is obsessed with his OCs and anything TTRPG, gothic or vintage related!

currently my commissions are open on vgen and i sometimes release NPC portraits on patreon and ko-fi 💗

hortensjjja.carrd.co

A digital fantasy illustration of a smiling fey-like woman sitting next to a round display window with dark wood frames, full of books and a potted plant with round white flowers on shelves. There are two books with visible titles, "Old Gods in Yivezheng" and "The Great Earth Eater".
She has a warm green complexion with some moles on her face, big teal eyes looking at the camera and brown medium-lenght braids. Kelp-like horns grow from behind her head and between the horns there is a gold headdress shaped like a chrysanthemum. She wears big round gold earrings. The dress she is wearing is dark green with white rectangular collars and brown leather parts such as a corset and cuffs. There are gold buttons on her puff sleeves. She is holding a big nondescript open book with one hand and her other hand is close to her face.
The background is dark brown with different warm color tones. There are paper triangle flags hanging behind her but in front of the bookstore. End ID.

A red-black monochrome digital illustration of a portrait-size feminine character with long wavy hair and striking red eyes, looking at the camera while smiling softly. They have horns made up of hair, an earring with a ribcage, a choker and a frilly top. They have one hand up, holding a stylized heart-shaped scissor with little horns portruding while their hand is dripping in blood. Behind the character's head, there's a big anatomical heart drawn in hatches and a textured circle in the background. Overall, the background is black and colors used for details are intense red. End ID.

A digital interpretation of a painting titled "Dionisia" by Pierre Auguste Cot, featuring my OC - Eshmara. The character has a warm green complexion with striking big orange eyes, smiling softly at the camera while holding a plethora of flowers on her lap and sitting on a tree stump. She has double pointy ears that are garnished by yellow-orange grapes with leaves, and a branch-like horns, also with autumn leaves, growing out from her head which is decorated bountifully by wavy auburn hair reaching just under her shoulder blades. She has a few moles on her face - two above her lips on her right and one above her eye on her right.
She is dressed in a white shirt hugged by a scarf-like pink cloth that goes beyond the view in the left corner. Her long skirt is orange with a brown apron that holds the flowers together on her lap.
The background is dark, seemingly in a forest away from the sun, primarily greens and browns. There's a faint halo-like circle behind the character's head to give the character better focus. End ID.
