Another portrait of Strahd bride I drew For some reason, Anastrasya looks different every time Can't decide on her final look

[anae-art]

Gabrielle is struggling to recover after falling out of a window to kill a rude vampire I really liked the text spaces here but I have no idea what Ireena could be saying here So I just leave it at that

On second thought, I prefer this version

And after a year still not finished But well, it looks good anyway

I’m sick and I don’t have the energy to do anything, so I decited to sketch at least a little. I ended up with this gentelman

Maybe one day I’ll finish it but for now here is no-sinister-looking Strahd

[anae-art]

Look who it is! One of my victi...EKHM i mean players! 🩷

Tried to cheer myself a little, so I played a little with a design of my character from Curse of Strahd campagin. So here he is - Niel is a bard (college of spirits) who runs a funeral home with his family.

And let me tell you. This man loves making funerals.

He also has a deck of cards with spirits. I had an idea to make them ghosts of people(and animals too) who had some importance in live of my bard, and he made them meaningfull funerals.

And yes, he "stole" a jacket from Strahd's castle (from a corpse to be specific. He also stole some cutlery, but thats another story)

This made me a perfect oportunity, to give the lego Niel I made, a cape from Strahd's minifigure~

And here is Niel, and his amaizing beautiful team (we've got Esmeralda as our NPC). I love all of them.

And here is the first drawing of him I ever made~

A few sessions ago, my players had dinner with Strahd, which ended on the dance floor

I decided to match my players with brides and this is the first result

[anae-art]

Just for fun, I decided to draw strahd brides with different hairstyles than usual And YES, I know Esher here looks a bit like an Alucard

[anae-art]

We are just before the final battle in the Descent into Avernus campaign and I still haven't shown portraits of our characters anywhere

From top right:

Our warlock Felix, lawyer who broke a pact with his vampire lady for a pact with a Gargauth, Treasurer of Hell

My alchemist dramphir Belladonna, a warrior who has her own little dark secret about how she became half vampire

The druid Lisenka, an Elthurel-derived noblewoman who must save her family from a certain unfavorable pact

A benevolent rogue (not) Harper who is investigating the mysterious death of his maste

And Barbarian Neli, a devout follower of Selune - the Devil Who Became an Angel

[anae-art]

I made a perfect description of our last session Or actually I think most sessions

Strahd with Sergei 🩷

A little exercise with light

With my Gabrielle because why not

[anae-art]

Something different this time I finally decided to play Dragon Age! And I even managed to pass Origins and go straight to the second part And because my Gabrielle must be in every universe - here is my beautiful lady as a Gray Warden! In a slightly different style than usual

[anae-art]

Happy Valentine's Day!

[anae-art]

I’ve finished a semester in college so having some free time I can afford to draw a little more for myself

So here is sketch of my Gabrielle! Probably in Ravenloft dungeons

[anae-art]

I must add very important element of this project!

Strahd & Helene's Snowball Fight

A wonderful gift I received in the Misthoppers Server art exchange Secret Santa from the gorgeously talented @anae-art This scene is so important to Helene and Strahd's relationship and I'm so so so happy I finally have art of it. Thank you. I'm over the moon with this!!! (scene context under the cut. CoS spoilers)

It was somewhat early in their relationship, but it's such an important moment for them. No corruption, no mind-altering blood sharing, no using sexuality as a weapon, no manipulation or fighting… just. them being cute.

We call moments like this Strahd being "lucid", without Vampyr looming in the back of his mind. He's not Strahd the Wolf (warlord Strahd), he's not Strahd with Vampyr, he's not Strahd the mage, he's not the cursed Strahd obligated to chase the same woman for thousands of years… he's just… Strahd the man. Having a snowball fight with the woman he loves because she told him she's never had a snowball fight before. He looks so carefree in this piece. He's falling in love. And it's unraveling all of his plans.

Ireena was our companion so naturally my Gabrielle spent a lot of time with her

So here are some sketches from that times

[anae-art]

More sketches of Gabrielle’s family
