Hi, I draw cartoony stuff sometimes! Currently focusing on DND characters (both PCs and NPCs), but I'm also posting old art of dragons, humans, animals and more

Also interested in: metal music, video games, webtoons

You may have noticed from my liked posts & reposts that I started getting into Hollow Knight lately, so..

But my relationship with art is not good rn (art block) so I probably won't make much fanart, who knows if that will change

(This is just a school doodle lol)

QRP with your oc smiling!

((Me when I post more about an npc that's presumed dead than about my actual main character))

((Also me when I'm reposting old art instead of making new art))

Or if you mean the reference sheet I'd the character, sorry I don't have one yet haha, but here's some more art of the same character?

Ohh, no there's no reference image. It's more so the character himself is visually inspired by a person. If that's what you mean the inspiration person is James LaBrie the vocalist of the band Dream Theater. They're still kinda different tho

This is the only personal art I've done in quite a while except for another one of the same character but which I didn't like.. anyway if anyone remembers Hector, my James Labrie lookalike DND npc from Simone's backstory 👉👈

Raffle prize 1/2 featuring @kefkorr.bsky.social's character Kroyoku! My deepest apologies for being so late, but I hope you'll enjoy this ✨

Life's been crazy, I've been inactive & on artblock, but today I'm spiking for a bit lmao

#oc #originalcharacter #artraffle #artblock #ocsky #characterdesign
Illustration featuring @kefkorr's character Kroyoku, a green humanoid creature with big oval ears, long snout, red / burgundy (?) eyes, long fangs, wearing a brown spotted vest. She's seen as a bust from the front view, as she's scratching her back with her left hand, looking to her left. Ambiguous yellow-brown background, noise effect.

[dnd] Quick young Simone doodle I made recently. I need to draw her more !!

#dnd #dndart #dndoc #dndcharacter #dungeonsanddragons #oc #originalcharacter #aarakocra #ocsky #ttrpg #ttrpgoc
Digital doodle of my DND character Simone: sparrow-looking aarakocra (light brown plumage with lighter, beige undertones, yellow/orange-ish beak) wearing a long dark red hair wig, a plain white shirt and a black vest over it. She's seen as a bust from left side view, standing. There's a beige / slightly yellowish background

See a bard, post a bard!

Here's my bird bard who goes by many names and disguises (aka Simone), the ex- magical metal pioneer who fled from an anti-magic empire with a shady gang (later to be her friends), after having lost her beloved bandmates to the inquisition in a backstabbing act

#dnd #dndoc
Snippet of an illustration of my DND character Simone: feminine sparrow-looking aarakocra (brown plumage with lighter brown undertones, yellow beak, orange eyebrows, large brown wings, brown hand skin, black talons), wearing a dark brown (slightly reddish) hat with a lighter colored band around it and 2 jay feathers, a plain kaki shirt with wool padding on the sleeves, slightly poking out at the ends of the sleeves & brown trousers. She's seen from front view half-body as she's sitting down in a cart while it's raining on her, playing the lute. The lute is dark gray with light gray / greenish / purpleish spots, resembling a starling plumage. The background is gray. This is a part of a larger, unfinished illustration. Same character as before, but portrayed as a flat half-body doodle. Simone is now wearing a red dress with beige/golden bands around the neck and sleeve ends, and a dark red cape over it, as well as the same hat from the previous artwork, except with just one feather visible. She's seen from 3/4 right side view, carrying an umbrella and smiling with her mouth partially open, with a flat gray background behind her (and still raining) Same character as before, seen as a flat front view bust doodle, with the dress from Slide 2 (without the cape or hat). But now she's using a magical disguise to change her plumage, now she looks like a blue finch: blue plumage, lighter blue eyebrows and wings, bright yellow beak, black feathers right between the beak and eyes. The background is also gray. Same character as before, also seen as a flat half-body doodle, but with a different magical disguise and outfit. Now her plumage is disguised to resemble a gray bird: gray plumage with lighter gray undertones, light gray hand skin. She's wearing a loose black sweater-like clothing over a plain white turtleneck shirt, with a dark brown belt around her waist. She's seen shrugging. The background is green.

Tried this oc bingo lol

Notes:
~ Some people used to call my oc a Mary Sue long ago but I wouldn't agree
~ I had a persona but then forgot about it quite a while ago so I don't really feel connected anymore
~ My only furry OCs are an aarakocra and a dragonborn but idk if that counts?
~ Only NPCs

[dnd] A bunch of pencil doodles I drew during recent plane flights lol, presenting the first official ship art of my DND character and her backstory polycule, and my favorite NPC

#dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dndart #dndoc #dndcharacter #traditionalart #sketch #shipart #oc #originalcharacter
Traditional pencil sketch (monochrome) of my DND characters: (from left to right) Hector Sterling (half elf man with long dark hair, mustache/beard, wearing a head band with jay feathers), Simone (aarakocra wearing a long hair wig) and Vivian (owlin). They are seen as half-body, standing close to each other. Simone is in front view, with Hector on her right side and Vivian on her left (they're each in side view). Simone is extending her arms to place each of her hands on one of their shoulders, while Hector and Vivian are holding hands (one hand each) in front of Simone, and they're all smiling, with their eyes closed. Since it's a quick sketch their outfits are undefined, just looking like plain white shirts (except Vivian seems to have a sleeveless dress on top of a long sleeve shirt). Traditional pencil sketch (monochrome) of Hector (described in the previous slide) seen as a bust in front view. He's wearing a hat, and the previously described headband with jay feathers is wrapped around the hat. He's also wearing a button shirt with a vest over it (but since it's a quick sketch they're not very defined, just looking plain white. This image is edited to have higher contrast so it looks black and white rather than gray pencil vibe.

[OLD] Some old art of Eaticx as a teen from back when I was working on a comic called War on Two Fronts (which I never actually made 😭)

Also it seems that a lot of my old art benefits from adding a HDR effect lmao

#dragon #dragonoc #dragonart #originalcharacter #webcomic #webtoons #ocsky #oldart
Illustration of my original character Eaticx: a young, dark gray bipedal dragon with blue spikes and claws, triangular tendrils surrounding their head (out of which the top pairs have light blue details), a gold nose horn, yellow / green eyes, a wide dark gray back fin and a curvy tail with blue spikes and large dark gray tail fins (in a prosthetic device: the actual prosthetic fin isn't visible but there is a metallic rod on the healthy fin for symmetric movement and a brown leather body binding the prosthetic and rod together on the tail). Eaticx is wearing a pair of glasses and a red bandana around their neck. They are seen as full body from the left side view, they are running in a grass field, looking behind them, with a background sky that's half blue / sunny (left) and half nightly full of stars (right). Near the night half, the grass is slightly blue-ish. Same character as before except they are seen as a bust from the left side view, standing upwards. The background behind them is similar to the previous one, but the sides are flipped. Moreover, the nightly side also features a rocky mountain, while the daylit side features a grass field, with some blurry touches of green and gray.

If you see this post your painting / drawing of a dragon!

[OLD] Continuing the old art series with some teenage Eaticx art from 2021 -> first one is slightly edited to look better (with a HDR effect), second is the original one
Illustration of my original character Eaticx: gray bipedal dragon with triangular tendrils coming from their head (out of which the top pairs have light blue details), blue spikes and claws, a small gold nose horn, double-clawed wings, a darker gray back fin, and big yellow eyes. They're wearing glasses and a leather saddle with straps around their back, neck and upper limbs. They're seen from side view flying upwards, with a night starry sky background (with some feint shades of blue and red) This is a HDR-lit version of the artwork. Same illustration as before but in its original form without HDR effect. It's darker: Eaticx is much more shaded, and the sky seems fully black

[OLD] Old art of my oc Swift Wing's previous design, this is the first design that's mustard-yellow, previously they were a gray dragon (in some iteration with mustard yellow tattoos lol)

#dragon #dragonoc #dragonart #dragons #oc #oldart #originalcharacter #characterdesign #illustration
Illustration of my original character Swift Wing: mustard-yellow quadruped dragon with long & thick triangular brown spikes on their forehead and back, 2 brown triangular head horns, brown claws & beard spikes, a thick brown plate around each eye, big ear lobes (forked in 3), a curved (crescent-shaped) spike under each ear, brown elbow spikes, light beige chest / belly plates, light beige wings, a long thin tail reinforced with brown plates, and yellow eyes. They're seen in full body from side view, with an angry facial expression, in a dark background with dark red & brown vague patterns (some of the patterns shapes can be seen (partially) through Swift Wing, and the lineart has a slight glitch effect.

[OLD] As part of the old art series, here's an unnamed character that I've only drawn once lol

But this piece looks pretty good, especially considering it's from 2019 (😵)

#dragon #dragonoc #dragonart #oc #originalcharacter #oldart #characterdesign #illustration
Old illustration of an unnamed character: a silver-scale wyvern with dark gray spikes, horns (2 triangular head horns & 1 small triangular nose horn) and claws, large wings, thin tail with 2 spikes near the tip, on the top, respectively bottom of the tail. Seen as a spirit (in my very old comic concept they were called Living Stars): semi-transparent hologram-like appearance with blue line art, glowy, covered in many small star illusions, with big white eyes, with a blue star-shaped pupil. She's seen in full body from side view, sitting down on a rocky cliff, with a beautiful starry sky & full moon in the background.

Share your PFP!

It's a funny doodle of my DND character Simone, in her magical disguise called Alexandria. Next slide is a better view of her design, and third slide is the full doodle page from where the doodle came from

#dnd #dndoc #dndart #dndcharacter #oc #dungeonsanddragons
Bust doodle of my DND character Simone, in a magical disguise: gray bird - looking aarakocra, seen with messy feathers, wearing a loose black shirt over a plain white shirt, and her facial expression is rather shocked, tired / distraught, and some thin veins can be seen in her eyes. Same character as before but in a full body front view T-pose. She's a gray aarakocra with lighter gray undertones, large wings with differently colored layers (top: darker, bottom: lighter) and a big light gray triangle on each wing, with light gray skin (on hands and feet), dark gray eyebrows, gray beak, long tail feathers, and triangular eyes (plain white with black pupil). She's wearing the same outfit as in the previous slide, but now it's fully visible: a plain turtleneck white shirt with a loose black piece of clothing over it, dark brown belt, dark gray trousers, black fingerless gloves and brown leather boots fitted to her bird feet, and additionally wearing an enchanted ring on her right hand Doodle page featuring many instances of my DND characters, from left to right top to bottom (by first appearance): Vivian (Owlin looking like a horned owl), Simone (described before, but also shown in her true appearance: sparrow-looking aarakocra with yellow beak, wearing a dark red hair wig, wearing a white shirt with a black vest), dog (light brown / ginger stray dog), Thomas (human with dark hair), Hector Sterling (Half-Elf with long dark brown hair, mustache & beard), Titan Claw (gray wolfdog with blue eyes). As well as several objects: a white violin with intricate green, brown & red details & its white bow, and 3 magical rings.

[OLD] More old art of Eaticx, I swear her design was so fucking inconsistent, every other drawing has a different neck type ☠️

(Also by old I refer to anything < 2023, art between 2023 and end of 2024 is also old but not that old)

#oldart #dragon #dragonoc #oc #dragonart #originalcharacter #ocsky
My original character Eaticx: dark gray bipedal dragon with triangular head tendrils (out of which the top ones have light blue details), blue spikes (back & 1 small beard spike) and claws, a gold nose horn, round green & yellow eyes, a large back fin, and a curvy tail with light gray fins. She's seen from side view walking in a green field, with a blurred foresty background behind her. Same character as before, but seen from 3/4 view flying, suddenly jolting, and the background is made of curvy static lines with glitch effects

[OLD] While I don't have much new content I'll try posting some old art, there's SO much of it but I'll share some I still find good
Here's one of Eaticx (as a child) from 2021, they've gone through so many redesigns at this point ☠️
