Yep, It's art recap.
So what do we have...

Lots of fanarts this year (of my fav games).
Also tried drawing comics for the first time in forever, so that was an experience.
Some short stories (related to death, magic and/or fey) of my OC.

In Summary: Melancholic as usual.

Update:

(WIP)
Still working on this. Left side is almost ready. And by almost, I have to figure out and add the background. Or should I keep it minimalist...
On the right side three prominent characters left to illustrate: Crusher, trapper and sneaky Zealot. Plus some poxwalkers running.

(sigh...)

Current WIP

It feels like it's going to take a while to finish.🤔

With new introduction of Arbites and the dogos, I decided to make another fanart with my characters.

"Vampire child and Yearning for Motherly Love"

Sketch & Finished work

Slight changes in the narrative:

"Mother" is awake and horrified vs "Mother" is charmed and "peaceful".

Also I decided to change the partner to be more ambiguous for my own sake.

"Vampire child and Yearning for Motherly Love"

#art #horror #vampire #oc

The woman used to pray countless days for a child she could love and care for. One evening a lonely creature of the night heard them. The little monster had some memories of the mother figure in her former life. However many years had passed since then, and the girl could recall only few tender moments, although maybe they were dreams and fantasies, all mixed up together, leaving a gaping crater in her unbeating heart. The girl felt an aching longing again. Perhaps that time she could relive the things that had been stolen long ago.

In the picture a vampire girl is hugged by a charmed victim, a mother figure. They are lying in the bed, partly covered in blanket. The woman is sleeping, she has puncture wounds on her arm. The child is trying to recall her past life with her mother.
Besides them is another victim, their face is covered by a bed hanging. A bloody small hand print could be seen over it.

Moment of respite - Ogryn, Darktide warhammer 40k fanart

"Ogryn Gromm sits deep in thought. Only Emperor knows what he is thinking"

#art #darktide #wh40k #oc #warhammer #40k

Ogryn (abhuman) sits among the carnage on the fallen pillar. His trusty lmg, twin-linked heavy stubber, rests besides him. He is surrounded by the bodies of the Chaos-touched monsters, enemies of humanity and traitors.
He is thinking, contemplating...

Progress so far.
Added color and some lighting.
Mostly finished detailing Ogryn (the center), maybe I'll add some tattoos later on.
Working on Plague ogryn atm (monster on the left). He should be covered with more blood and rotten flesh. And maggots. Lots of maggots.

Gunlugger Ogryn, surrounded by mayhem and dead bodies of chaos ogryns and hound, is sitting on a broken pillar, thinking.

Horse riders following a dragon. One of them got grabbed by it, another archer is aiming his bow at them.

Dark king riding a giant vampire bat-like creature into the battle, defending his castle. A swarm of smaller bats accompanying him. Against him are the forces of light, mounted on giant birds. Further on the horizon is the heat of the fight.

(Planning to make for all chars)

The progress is slow, but it always has been.

IRL returned back home from the trip. And decided to start with a fanart to warm up before doing personal work

This one is from 2014.
"One's nature"

It is quite old, and even though I don't draw in this style anymore, I still like it (partly because it speaks to me on a personal level but nvm).
My little inner child.

2022, Kenku, Voice stealer-Attack at the Inn

“Listen up. They call him voice stealer or collector.

#art #dnd #ttrpg #fantasy #kenku #oc

They call him voice stealer, voice collector.

He is essentially a crazed individual, earned his infamy by stalking and maiming people with what he considers "beautiful voices", mostly bards, orators.
That twisted mind silences victims by magic and brute force, mimicks their voices perfectly. Who knows how many voices of how many souls he can imitate by this point.

Such a lunatic though managed to get some connections in a criminal world. Felons hire him to spy on somebody, deliver confidential messages, intimidate or assassinate targets.

His last work was at the inn "...". He broke into the room of that elven bard.
Luckily for that poor boy the waitress was bringing some supper to his place. She heard some commotion and didn't get fooled by the kenku guy using the voice of his victim. She caused a ruckus, and in a moment the whole inn, staff, guests, were upstairs in that room.
They saved the bard but the bird had already gone.

The elf is still recovering in the infirmary, so if you want to speak with him, bring quill and paper with you.
He is guarded, by the way, in case that freak wants to finish his job.
Tell them N sent you.

Talk to that waitress at the "...". She got a good look at the suspect.

You can try asking members of the Guild of Thieves, if they know something.
Be prepared though, they would definitely want something in return.

For the people that passed perception check 🔍 - there is also engraving in the sacrificial altar written in Espruar, elven language of Forgotten realms. It is partially covered but it mainly says devotee proclamations to the goddess Lolth.
