A water genasi bard playing the ocarina in a field of flowers. Her hair is a wash of water that fades from dark blue to light blue at the tips. She is wearing a pink dress with a short, petal-like skirt. A large ribbon of pink fabric is wrapped around her waist. The sun sets in the background. The magic of her music is invigorating the flowers in the field.

Illustration of Hornet from Hollow Knight. She stands within the City of Tears as the “rains” pours down upon her. She is looking slightly towards the rain as her glow billows behind her. Her nail is firmly planted into the ground by her side and a thread of silk tied to it whips around in the wind. In the background, the buildings and architecture of the City can be seen.

A Drow woman with dark blue skin like the night sky. A pattern of yellow lines and stars trace her skin, particularly around her face. She has long white hair with two small braids that hang in front of her ears. She wears a dress with a high slit and a purple and blue colour scheme.

Illustration of Matteo, an NPC from HighRollersD&D. A man with olive complexion, brown eyes, dark hair in a ponytail that billows behind him. He has a goatee. He wears a dark shoulder cape over a purple jacket, both decorated with gold trimming and adornments. On his shoulder rests a guitar-like lute. On his other hand, balancing by the tip on the edge of his finger, is his dagger: Scalebane!

Collage of three artworks side to side in a similar style.

1. A full-body digital illustration of Alexa in an Art Nouveau style referencing Alphonse Mucha's "Spring". She is a half-elf with fair skin and bright ginger hair falling in long swoops; her eyes are aqua blue matching the colour of the gems adorning her red beret, her single earring and her choker. She wears blue stays and red puff sleeves, long gloves and over-the-knee boots embroidered with gold. A cloth monogrammed with the initials 'A.I.' is tucked into her belt, and a flowing pink cloth wraps around her legs. Alexa is holding a silver rapier with one gloved hand and touching its blade with the fingertips of the other, as she looks to the side with a smirk. The background features Art Nouveau-style decorative elements with swooping vines, trailing roses and blooming lilies in a soft pastel colour scheme.

2. Full body Art Nouveau style of Ellia, a tiefling paladin, within an ornamental frame. She has ivory wings tinged with gold and pink, red skin with dark-tipped horns, short black hair, and pure gold eyes. She wears ornate white and gold armour. She is holding the Sword of Zariel with one hand; her red cape is folded over her other arm. All around her feet, snowdrops bloom. Ellia belongs to tieflingpaladin on bsky.

3. Art nouveau style drawing of Menardi, an elf woman with flowing white hair wearing metal and leather armour. She's standing in a misty/snowy landscape featuring bleeding heart flowers, and she's holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in another, looking down with a melancholy air. Menardi belongs to mimidrws on bsky.

Illustration of Amity and Kiana lying on their backs with their heads close together, reaching out to touch each other's hair as they look tenderly into each other's eyes. Stars swirl in the current around them. Amity is a dark-skinned girl with dragon-like horns and curly brown and pink hair. Kiana is a girl with pale skin and cat-like ears, white and purple hair, and yellow eyes rimmed in red makeup. Both characters belong to Lunewarden on Bluesky / Artfight.

Digital illustration of Alexa, a half-elven woman with pale skin, blue eyes and long red hair. She's wearing shimmery makeup and a circus ringmaster outfit. A heart-shaped spotlight is shining on her. She's holding a whip which is snapping in the air above her, as she touches a gloved hand to her top hat and smiles at the viewer.

Chibi lineup of the Forgekeepers: Artem, a tiefling rogue; Alexa, a half-elf bard; Dúri, a dwarf cleric; Theefsa, a goblin warlock; and Addan, an elf druid.
All characters other than Alexa belong to my D&D party friends (Theefsa belongs to lunelkie.bsky.social - Addan belongs to leki02.bsky.social); Alexa belongs to me.
