A lil forest dragon I did in 2020 with alcohol markers and poscas. I remembe rthe page was soaking through when i finished blending the water xD

#fantasy #dragon #illustration #traditionalart

The illustration depicts a purplish-grey dragon, its body intertwined with the roots and branches of trees, lying along the bank of a calm stream. The dragon's form is partially obscured by foliage, creating a sense of mystery. The stream is dark and reflective, with several small fish visible near its surface. The banks of the stream are lined with colorful wildflowers and lush vegetation. The surrounding forest is dense, composed mostly of slender birch-like trees with pale trunks and vibrant green leaves. Sunlight filters through the canopy, illuminating the scene with a warm, slightly ethereal glow. A soft, pink orb hangs above the dragons head, adding to the fantastical ambiance. The overall mood is serene and peaceful, with a hint of magic and wonder. The colors are rich and varied, with deep purples, greens, and oranges dominating the palette. Whole piece is made with alcohol markers and fineliners with small addition of posca pens for the details.

And here are other designs for the masks that I decided are too impersonal for iisjah, but the designs I might use for something later :)

The image shows four sketches of unique masks

The image contains four distinct sketches, each depicting a head-and-shoulders view of a hooded figure wearing an elaborate mask. The style is rough and sketchy, using primarily black and gray tones with hints of shading to suggest form and volume. There's no color other than grayscale.

* **Sketch 1:** This figure wears a simple, dark-colored hood, with a mask featuring a single, large, circular eye in the center. The mask itself is dark, almost solid black. The mouth is covered with a fringe.

* **Sketch 2:** This mask is more intricate, resembling a stylized bat wings with sharp angles and curving lines. It consists of slides bat wings connecting to themselves at sharp angles. It has a more detailed design with lighter and darker tones indicating depth. The hood is dark and wraps around the head and neck.

* **Sketch 3:** Similar to sketch 1 in the simplicity of the hood, this figure’s mask is more detailed. It consists of a stylized moth, with an eye in there middle.

* **Sketch 4:** This sketch features a sharp, angular features. The mask has thin wing like feeding on the eyes with parallel lines.

I decided iisjah needs a mask to do his mercenary hero stuff, and this one took a long time to design >>

I have some more complicated designs, but decided on this simple gauged eyes one. I think it gives enough of a badass mysterious feel he's going for 8D

#ttrpg #dnd #oc #originalcharacter

Mask design for my character iisjah. It's a half face leather mask, with triangle bits going past his jaw, with his mouth area open.
His eyes are covered with a bandage, tired on the side with a long bit hanging. The place where his eyes would be is stylized as if his eyes are gauged with bloody spots.

The second option is the same mask, but with his face covered with a bandana/turtleneck

Two fantasy humanoid characters are hugging. An elderly, strong-looking one is embracing a young fashionable one. They both have grayish skin, green hair, and solid black eyes.

This is a face of a +7 to exhaustion (in our system) - previous weeks in the RP where not kind to Iisjah.

#ttrpg #portrait #oc #characterart #originalcharacter #fantasy

The image is a stylized portrait of a tired, pensive man with reddish hair and multiple ear piercings on his pointed but floppy ears. (Iisjah O'Riley, my RP character)

The painting features a close-up portrait of a man in his 30s. He has chin-length, slightly unkempt, red hair on the right side of his head and a shaved head on the left. His skin is pale with a scattering of freckles and a noticeable scar running across the lips on his left side. His expression is tired, serious, almost melancholic, with downcast eyes that seem weary or slightly sad. His green eyes are visible beneath his brow. He has a short, well-groomed beard and mustache. His ears (that are slightly pointed but also flop at the tip) are adorned with multiple piercings. He is wearing a teal turtleneck sweater under a dark-colored jacket with a lighter-colored, fur-lined collar. The background is an abstract wash of muted pinkish-brown tones, resembling brushstrokes. The overall mood is serious, contemplative, and somewhat somber, with the man's expression and the muted color palette contributing to a melancholic atmosphere. The style is loose and expressive, typical of a digital painting or sketch, with visible brushstrokes and a lack of sharp lines. The piece has a slightly rough, almost unfinished feel, enhancing the raw emotionality of the portrait.

Little Sanet portrait is always good for the soul UwU

#vampire #originalcharacter #ttrpg #dnd #fantasy

The artwork depicts a close-up portrait of a brooding, dark-skinned vampire character (Sanet de Anuvar, my original character) with pointed ears, purple hair, facial piercings, and glowing light blue eyes.

The image is a stylized digital painting featuring a close-up portrait of an character from my RP game and story.
The character has dark brown skin and prominent features - sharp cheeks, hooked nose, pointed ears and a strong jaw. They have a short, textured, slightly unkempt haircut that is intensely purple, with small, owl like feathers styled upwards, in two places on his head.

His eyes are a striking feature; they are downward pointing with thick eyelashes and his irises are bright and glowing with a light blue or teal hue.
There are also little purple feathers underneath the eyes, extending to the cheeks.

They have a strong jawline and a short, well-groomed beard. A septum piercing is clearly visible. Their expression is serious, almost sullen or brooding, their mouth set in a firm, straight line.

The character is wearing a dark-colored, high-necked shirt or turtleneck. Around their neck, they have a choker necklace adorned with what looks like small, evenly-spaced beads or studs. The style of clothing and accessories could be described as somewhat gothic or edgy.

The background is a muted, greyish-purple tone, almost indistinct, which focuses attention entirely on the figure. The overall mood is dark, atmospheric, and somewhat mysterious, enhanced by the contrasting light in the character's eyes and the dark muted tones surrounding them. The artistic style leans towards a slightly rough, painterly aesthetic, with visible brushstrokes or digital equivalents. The image evokes a feeling of intensity and perhaps a sense of otherworldliness or intrigue.

Lil Iisjah at about 6 or 7 years old, still with his leg braces, that helped to lengthen his legs.

#artistonbluesky #digitalart #characterart #oc #originalcharacter #ttrpg #dnd #illustration

A freckled boy with leg braces (Iisjah O'Riley, my RP character as a kid) displays a small fish he caught while fishing from a rickety dock. The fish is stuck on his finger.

The image is a whimsical illustration of a young boy, around seven old, sitting on a rustic wooden dock. He has bright red hair, numerous freckles across his face and arms, a missing tooth and a bandage on his cheek. His expression is one of cheerful bewilderment. He’s wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt, light blue overalls with a small embroidered fish on the front pocket, and an orange bandana around his neck. Most striking are the numerous metal braces on both his legs, suggesting a disability. His right hand is aloft with a small, bright yellow fish stuck to his finger. It got stuck there after he caught it.

He’s seated on a simple, seemingly improvised, wooden dock. Beside him are various fishing-related items: a fishing rod leaning against the dock, a fishing bag containing another, smaller fish, a jar containing worm bait, and a pair of worn boots and green and white striped socks. The water below the dock is calm and clear, implying a peaceful scene. The background shows a sandy shoreline, some rocks, and a hint of a white fence. The sky is bright blue with fluffy white clouds, enhancing the cheerful and idyllic atmosphere.

The overall mood of the image is upbeat and heartwarming. Despite his visible disability, the boy radiates humor and joy, even though the fish on his finger perplexed him a bit. The slightly rough and simplistic style of the illustration contributes to its charming and heartfelt quality. The scene is peaceful, and the color scheme is bright, evoking a feeling of summer and carefree play.

One of my fav RP session sketches!

Iisjah and his crit fail, face down in a puddle, failing to catch a puddle water elemental. It was a day xD

#illustration #sketch #doodle
#characterdesign #art #artistsonbluesky #ttrpg #dnd

The illustration is a dynamic, expressive sketch, capturing a moment of chaotic mishap.

Here's a breakdown of the scene:

* **Central Figure:** A person with red hair (my RP character Iisjah) is sprawled face down in a puddle on a paved surface. They appear to have fallen, their body at an angle, one arm outstretched holding an empty jar. Their expression is implied through their body language rather than detailed facial features; they look distressed or exasperated. Their clothing consists of dark pants, a light-colored shirt visible underneath, and a mustard-yellow scarf draped across them.

* **The Puddle:** A sizable puddle surrounds the person, with small, light blue, blob-like creatures (puddle water elementals) scattered within and around it. They are making fun of the person that is face planted in the puddle. The person is making angry irritated bubbles in the puddles water.

* **The Setting:** The ground is depicted as paved stones or bricks, with a textured, slightly rough appearance.

* **Text:** A word bubble above the figure shows a string of nonsensical letters ("MFRFFGNI..."), a mumble of frustration.

* **Style:** The artistic style is loose and sketchy, with quick, expressive lines. The colors are muted and slightly desaturated, except for the person's hair and the yellow garment. The style seems illustrative and cartoonish, rather than realistic.

Overall, the image evokes a sense of humor and movement, suggesting a sudden, clumsy fall. The small creatures in the puddle add a quirky, almost whimsical element to the scene. The overall mood is playful despite the slightly unfortunate situation depicted.
