Victoro got a fancy new eye recently from the Night Mother, or from the hags? We don't know for sure, but it sits nicely in his eye socket already, the whole process was very bloody, very cursed and very exciting 👁️

[Curse of Strahd, She is the Ancient campaign, ink and markers on paper]
A drawing of an eyeball with a pupil and iris split into three and what I hope reads at least a little as roots in place of what would normally be the ocular muscle. It looks cursed as hell, but it's ok, we ball.

Level 8 portrait of Victoro, finally with his Raven boy <3

Curse of Strahd / She is the Ancient campaign.
(Previous portraits in the posts below.)
Grayscale portrait of a man with a raven. The man has horns with texture resembling wood and his fingers are clawed. He is pressing his face close to the raven that's embracing him with its wings, the two of them getting some comfort for once.

My witch character for a Daggerheart one shot: Ma Mabel, with her frog Felicia, and with the skull of her dead husband Tobias.
A drawing of a small old witch lady, she has a round smiling face, round glasses, in general she is quite round, she is carrying a skull that glares ominously, and a walking stick on the top of which sits a frog.

Happy International Tiger Day 🐯

Mahadi / City of Mist campaign
A set of sketches and references used. On the left are random photos from google showing tigers with various facial expressions: one with a tiger sticking its tongue out, second one with a profile of a tiger showing its teeth, third one en face tiger snarling at the camera. On the right are sketches of a man, shirtless, bearded, tattooed, with expressions based on those of the tigers. Happy International Tiger Day!

This little shit again. I love him.

(Mahadi, a character i play in our City of Mist campaign)
A sketch of a bearded man, he is carrying a cane and smoking a cigarette. His shirt is open and there are bullet scars visible (barely on this drawing) over his chest. His chest, neck and hands are covered with tattoos that are just scribbles because I can't get to designing them properly, but the two on each side of his neck are round, that's all i know :) He is wearing a coat, a white shirt and striped pants, a couple of gold chains around his neck and some rings. He is smirking like a little shit he is. A sketch of a bearded man, he is carrying a cane and smoking a cigarette.

A couple of out of context Mahadi (City of Mist) sketches <3
A gray scale sketch portrait of a bearded man with a feral expression, long fangs and cat-like eyes. There's blood all over his shirt and in his mouth. He's angry, and he probably just ate someone. The same man, but this time he is wearing a stylish tiger print tracksuit. The pants are a bit too short because he is like two meters tall, but that's alright, he doesn't care. He is also not wearing any socks. He is however wearing a lot of gold on his bare chest. He is grinning like a little shit he is and he is smoking a cigarette. Again the same man, but this time dressed like a normal human being, in a regular suit. He has his hair combed back, his eyes are gold, and he wears earrings. He has his eyebrows raised and is smiling. The sketch is a redraw of a frame from some show that I unfortunately don't know, but the subtitle say: "There is no problem we can't create."

Hungry beasts and other such creatures.

Incredible scenes all around last night, everyone absolutely DELIVERING. Here is a snippet from Mr. Mahadi making sure his point sticks.

[OCs: Mahadi played by @coupleofkooks.bsky.social Agnes (by me) - City Of Mist TTRPG - 80s neon noir setting] #NewtsOCs
Black and White page of sketches depicting two characters: A handsome middle aged man with a beard, shaved sides of head, slight big-cat-like features and some tatoos peaking from behind his collar. He is dressed in a suit with an open collar and holding a smaller figure by the neck while frowning in a stern manner at her. She has long dark hair, a long pointy nose and an unamused expression on her face. Under the drawing there is Newt's signature but embelished in an expressive flair, looking like the text has been squiched and the eye holds more pupils than normal. On the side, there are 3 more drawings, Two of them depicting agnes from the other angle, She is looking displeased, grabbing at the hand around her neck, and in the next sketch, a huge smile has grown on her face, a grin showing too many teeth, the style of the drawing got even more expressive and stylised with this one. The last drawing is a very simple doodle of the man holding her on a leash and as floating eyes sorround her head. tags: City of Mist, CoM, TTRPG art, Magnus Archives, Michael Distortion, Noir, Comic,

Level 7 portrait of my hexblood witch boy Victoro from our She is the Ancient game.

Look at him he finally grew horns 8)

(Portraits for previous levels in the reply)
A grayscale digital painting showing portrait of a man (very handsome by the way) with pointy ears, beard and longer greying hair. He is in general very pointy. He has his eyes closed and a clam expression. Black horns resembling a crown are growing out of his head, black roots are surrounding him, some slowly crawling up his shoulders. He shouldn't be this calm really...

He has some holes in his chest but look at him, he's fine, he's doing great.
A digital drawing of a man sitting in the chair, he is wearing a stripe grey suit and a purple scarf, but is shirtless, looking so cool. He is covered in tats that are for now only scribbles because I have not designed them yet :) There are multiple scars left by the bullets on his chest, one specifically where a heart is, but he is doing fine. He is doing great. He wears a smug expression, and also glasses and several rings on his fingers. (pose taken from a photo ref)

A study of a man going down.

Some little drawings about Mahadi's intro session from the City of Mist campaign.
A digital ink drawing of a man getting shot in the chest. Said man shot and down. He survived this, it's ok. It's fine. I promise.
