What if some sort of demi-giant woman? (non-giant women for scale)

Reva, my memonek earth elementalist!

#xochiart #TTRPG #DrawSteel #MCDM #art
An earth elementalist character for the Draw Steel TTRPG. Woman posed mid-dance, with her left arm and right leg raised. She is made of discrete segments and parts, like a ball-joint doll. Her skin is partially a purplish grey and partially a bright red gem-like material. Parts of her body have gold tattoo-like markings. She wears a simple black halter top and short shorts. She has sleeves and pants made of a translucent material.

The Wanderer (commission)

#xochiart #art
Digital illustration of The Wanderer from Magic: the Gathering. A woman with white shoulder-length hair and a white kimono sits on a bench. She holds a cup in her hands, with stylized steam coming out of it. Her eyes are closed and her expression is relaxed. A shiba inu's head rests on her lap, the rest of its body covered by her crossed legs. The background is a stylized landscape with a setting sun in the horizon. Sakura trees in the mid and foreground are losing their pedals.

Absolute favorite card in my Narset deck. Especially when I cast it normally and then recast it with her trigger
