Been mulling over this for month trying to find a way to draw it. It finally clicked last week.
It's a little personal story, I really wanted to get it out. Just for myself and because it's about something I love(d).
It's about TTRPGs.

1/5 👇

panel 1: Me as a kid, with glasses and a ponytail, going GRAAAWRRR with purple imaginary wings / dragon tail. "Once upon a time, there was a smol human that was me. Dumb, loud, probably stinky. My favorite game was to play "Make Believe" and pretend to be a dragon."

Panel 2: Me at school, bored, a page of notebook with scribbles in a margin. "I had a hard time focusing in school because thinking of other stuff was much better. I was drawing a lot in the margins of my notebooks. No teacher ever stopped me."

Panel 3: Silouette of me looking down a hole, then my silhouette is falling in it, with die shapes around me.
"Absolutely no one in my life was surprised when I fell down the rabbit hole of DND"

Panel 4: Me and a friend, a guy with curly hair and glasses sitting around a table with pens, character sheets and dice. "In high school, it was mostly about goofing with friends and having fun during lunch break, Rolling dice and being dumb, loud and probably stinky."

Digital ink drawing of a bird man in a frilly white shirt and sort of Victorian style outfit standing with one arm up, fingers extended, with his head slightly back and lips parted, a tall crest of feathers sat delicately atop his head and wings to his sides

Darius, then named Seren, had few friends as a kid. He was a little awkward and intense at the same time. The urges right under the surface.
But he found kin in Rugan, who were a streetrat often begging and stealing +

around Darius' home.
He often shared of the home-made bread his dads made, before playing in the streets and trees.

After the whole Bhaal-issue he met Rugan again on the Risen Road - the man recognizing him immediatly.

Tav: Big jump, big ridiculous yelp, then he's mildly pissed at you in a "HEY THAT WAS NOT FUNNY!" way.
Then after a few seconds:
"Ok it was a little bit funny, well played."

He's a good sports 😂

"Boo!"

How does your tav/durge react to a sudden startle? Do they squeak in alarm? Or is their first instinct to fight and give whatever scared them a good smack?

Mal will never admit it... but he's a squeaker.

Aldiirn's instinct when startled is to clamp shut. Doesn't do any good to draw the attention of more monsters or hostiles that may be nearby, or given rason for the matron to punish you for daring to speak up. #tavqotd

Digital illustration of a hyena monster by Hyene_fleur
The hyena is grayish green with bat-like devil wings and a long tail with a stinger. It stands menacingly, its back arched. It also has boar fangs and a snake forked tongue.

Photo of a round pin of an illustration Ava a golden tiger (her fur is a mix of white and orange) looking slightly confused and very cute. The design was made by ZbugaDiga.

Digital illustration of Malenia's helmet from Elden Ring. It's a golden metallic helmet covering her face with intricate decorations and wings on the sides. Malenia's red hair spread out on the sides. Dark letters lined with gold read "SLAY QUEEN"

Finished the ref for my spooky goth vampire boy, Edgar~ 👉✨️🌕

I've only played him once so far but he is v fun to play and also a bitch 💅 but that's just because he's jaded.

[ #artsky #ocsky #trrpg #ttrpgart #dnd5e #vampire #myart #digitalart ]

A digital reference containing two portraits and a full-body piece of OP's 5e player character: Edgar, a level 3 half-elf vampire lunar sorcerer ✨️

The two portraits are of the same character at two different ages: 14 y/o and 21 y/o. The younger portrait has shaggy short dark hair, pale purple skin, and silver eyes. His eyes are sunken and cheeks are gaunt from malnourishment. The older portrait has the same pale purple skin and silver eyes, but his dark hair is pulled back in a ponytail out of his face. His eyes are still sunken and his cheeks are still gaunt.

The full-body piece showcases his outfit consisting of a long skirt, dark form-fitting top, and a cloak with a high collar and sleeves that go to his knuckles. He is holding an umbrella to shield himself from the light. With his free hand he is pointing away from his body and silvery magic sparkles come from his fingertip.

Hello #PortfolioDay 👋

I'm Platyps, a hobby artist from the UK - I love drawing fantasy and TTRPG characters, my OCs, and sometimes fanart 🐉🎲

🎨 cara.app/peculiarplat...

Digital drawing of a half-elf monk standing among some trees, resting his hands on the trunks of two trees that form an arch over his head, and peering curiously at something out of the left side of the frame. He has blond hair, cut short and spiked up at the front, blue eyes, and pointed ears. He is wearing a blue neckerchief, wrist bracers, no shirt, a green martial arts sash, and loose blue trousers obscured by branches in the foreground.

Digital drawing of a shirtless bearded half-orc man, with scars across his body, sitting on a stone throne and lit by a shaft of light emanating from the top left of the frame. He is resting his left hand on the arm of the throne, and holding a sword in his right, with its tip resting on the ground in front of him. His left foot is resting on the skull of a sabre-toothed cat-like creature. He is looking fiercely towards the camera.

Digital drawing of Edward Elric, main character of the anime & manga "Fullmetal Alchemist." The drawing depicts a young man with golden hair and eyes, worn with bangs on either side of the face and a single braid at the back. He is wearing a tucked-in vest that shows his metal right arm, a thick leather belt, and dark trousers. He is standing with his hands in his pockets, moodily looking off to the right of the frame.

Digital drawing of a muscular man standing in a lake, with the water level coming up to his hips. The skin of his arms is discoloured and blue, with strange runes etched on them, and he is wearing leather bands hung with charms around them. His hair is also coming through blue, and he is looking towards the top left of the frame.

Hahaha yea I get that. Lil doodles can pile up fast 😂
I think I'll try to do the framework thing might help me with what to prioritize in the description too since I struggle with that a lil bit too. I either go too long or too short.

Sailing Kobold 🦎 Askilian @sailingkobold.bsky.social · 21h

It means that I will inevitably forget sometimes in main posts (If I catch it early I delete+remake the post. Otherwise I try to add it in reply) and it's been working well for me
Kind of a middle ground where I prioritize what I see as the most important.

Yea it's kinda difficult for me due to being ND mostly. I had to deactivate the option that doesn't let you post unless there's alt-text because when I'm answering to someone with a pic in a reply thread it's too much sometimes??
My general rule is: Main post=Alt text. Replies=I try but not always

Aaahhh really liking this framework idea, I think using a note or external tool would become too bloated for me real fast but a few frameworks to build details on... Yea I like.

@micahseacole.bsky.social did it again - Drawing Tav as a weasel. I love it SO MUCH, look at this FACE 😂
"Hello fellow Bhaalists, I heard you liked murder? Would be a shame if someone gave you a taste of your own medecine, right? Ahahah how funny would it be....."
Line by Micah - Colors by me
#bg3

A cartoonish anthropomorphic weasel person walks in, arms folded in his back, shit eating grin on his face. His fur is red and blueish black on his feet, hands and tail. His eyes are yellow with a black sclera.
Background is a rough colored backgroud of stone walls with Bhaal's emblem on it (a skull surrounded by drops of blood)

Finally finished up a VERY unhappy Thryx for my
