13 hours later, it’s done.
My lad Khel got thrown around like a rag doll by the big bad last session, so of course I had to draw it ✨

Image shows a man with purple skin, white hair and orange eyes wearing a red trench coat, brown vest and grey cargo pants. Another man with fair skin, brown hair and wearing sleek body armour has grabbed the first man by the face. The pair of them are flying through the open air, their hair and clothes billowing in the wind. The sun is above them, shining through scattered clouds.

“Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got into this situation.”

Another Motherboard wip of Khel fighting for his life 👌

Yay! This is my roguelock Vex ❄️
Given the chance to escape a watery grave by the archdevil Levistus, Vex was sent to Chult to root out the source of the Death Curse riddling Faerûn.
Despite his best efforts, he’s taking after his fiendish ancestor in more ways than one…

Image shows a multicoloured rough sketch of a man in a trench coat being seized around the face by another man in a cape and skin tight armour, hoisting the first man into the air.

These are my two most recent 🥺 I’d burnt myself out pretty hard before making these so I’m really proud of them. Especially the right, I don’t have depth perception so drawing perspective is tricky 😅
Image shows a headshot of a man with fair, freckled skin, long ginger hair tied up in a ponytail and pointed ears. He has bright green eyes and is wearing a dark green jacket with off-yellow padding on the inside of the collar. He’s looking back over his shoulder towards the viewer with a slight smile A drow man with purple skin, white hair and bright orange eyes is holding a tablet device that is wired into something off screen. He wears a brown vest, grey cargo pants and black boots. A pair of steampunk style goggles hangs around his neck. He stands in a dark space, surrounded by thin, holographic screens that depict different landscapes, articles and other sources of information that he was not previously familiar with. He is in a state of shock and awe at this revelation.

Finished up Seth’s token in time for tonight’s session. Though I’m not playing as him, he and Vex are appearing as NPCs in our Tyranny of Dragons game once we reach Waterdeep. I’m being very cool and normal about it (:

I don’t have my own (not allowed in my current place sadly) but my parents have a little Jack Russell called Whiskey. She’s fussy af, but is always happy to see me visit 🥹

Forever torn between wanting clean lineart, but liking the sketchy look it has 😵‍💫

Another Seth wip

Thank you for hosting and thank you @lif-vixen.bsky.social for the tag 💜

I’m Mel, I’m legally blind but doing my best! I mostly draw my D&D OCs but dabble in other things sometimes too ✨

A man with purple hair, white hair and orange eyes is holding a tablet device that is wired to something off screen. He’s dressed in a brown vest, grey cargo pants and black boots. A pair of steampunk style goggles hangs around his neck. Surrounding him are various holographic screens depicting a range of information. This piece shows a man with fair, freckled skin, pointed ears and ginger hair that is tied in a ponytail yelling angrily at someone off screen. He says “You dragged him into your scheme, you fucker!” The scene is illuminated by light shining through a lattice window also off screen. Two men, one dressed in a red trench coat, the other in a bright yellow cloak, are walking side by side along railroad tracks. The tracks are overgrown while a tunnel looms in the distance. In the far distance, an imposing tower stretches into the clear blue sky, wires spreading out from the top like a power line. A man with purple skin, white hair and pointed ears is in a rustic basement fixing a prosthetic arm made of scrap metal. A spectral hand is helping him with repairs.

Briefly started working on a token for my lad Seth during this evening’s session. My base sketches have gotten so colourful this past year lmao
Might post the full thing when it’s done 👌

Pandora’s Box

The moment my #Motherboard character Khel illegally uncovered information of the world above ground, marking a point of no return.

Gonna sleep on it, but I think I might be done with this one 👀

Remembering that Khel’s original concept was an order of the lycan blood hunter flavoured with a drider-like transformation for him instead of a werewolf. I pivoted to artillerist artificer, but I may need to revisit that one at some point 👀
Image shows a headshot of a man with purple skin, white hair and orange eyes. He wears a brown shirt, a black harness, a black choker and sunglasses with red lenses. He has a smug expression, grinning at the viewer.

Khel (he/him🏳️‍⚧️) would be surprised by the nomination, but take it in stride.
Best qualities: smart, curious, and good with his hands 🛠️👌
Worst qualities: impulsive, reckless in the pursuit of knowledge, would hide a zombie bite 🫡

I finally came out as trans to my closest friends and they’ve been the most supportive people I could ask for 🥰

And I guess have a wip of a token for my lad Vex ^^

I can’t choose a favourite child so I’ll post two. My tiefling warlock Vex and half elf rogue Seth, brothers in all but blood. Through a series of unfortunate events, they both wound up in separate dealings with the archdevil Levistus and are now in opposite ends of Faerun surviving the horrors

Not the initial perspective in question. I gave up on one drawing and dove into this an hour later 🫡
Heavily referenced, messy af, but have a Khel wip that’ll hopefully get past the sketch phase

Forgot to post this. My #dnd turned #daggerheart character Khel may or may not have picked up some tech that wasn’t his and is reaping the consequences

A man with purple skin, wavy white hair and pointed ears is suspended in a tangle of glowing orange wires. He wears a red trench coat, dark grey cargo pants and black boots. He’s distressed, reaching for a pair of red and gold sunglasses that have fallen from his face. The background shows a dark red spider’s web with black, orange and white glitch effects in places.
