Pastel eyes, for the necromancer who enjoys the more delicate things in life... or death.

A fine young pumpkin headed imp I came across in my travels and had the delight to draw. He's an "alternative wedding planner", which I was led to believe involves replacing traditional wedding rings with plastic spider novelty rings among other things.

A little witch came by, asking if I could create her a special little bat familiar.
So, I of course made her the sweetest little bat to help her with her witchly tasks.

Request your own bat familiar(of any age or species):

I've been hard at work studying the creation of monstrous eyes. And now my workshop is cluttered with them.
Eyes, eyes all over the shop.
Would you be interested in taking some for yourself?

Charred black skull, with shadows blood red. Firm and heavy, durable, yet soft enough for a pin to pierce.

A curious request for a rarity, but my many adventures had taught me just where to look for such oddities.

"Brief Pause in the Rain"
Happy Mermay! This took ages to finish, but here it is. Naiwohn and Tanjitan. Taking a quick breather as they run from a cave in and flood.

Comms open!

#mermay #mermaid #merman #dragon #dndart #dndcharacterart #dnd #dungeonsanddragons

A large lizard with a feathery crest and tail tuft sits in the middle of a cave. A rider sits on an elaborate saddle on its back.
The rider is a monsterous elf with a muzzle and fangs, his thighs are fused down to the knees after which they split into two legs with fins instead of feet. He is wearing layers of fancy clothing and a hat inspired by asian conical hats. small beads dangle from the edg of his hat. He is leaned forwards in his saddle, with a strained expression on his face. the lizard looks back at him with an expression of worry.
A lantern hangs off a bone pole off the back of the saddle.

There is a small group of mushrooms in the background, and a few puddles. water is seeping in through the cave wall, and pours down the cliffs.
The entire drawing is line art with an orange-red tint, that fades into an almost yellow green at the center.
