I absolutely adore your art, you're incredibly skilled! I was wondering what brush you use for lineart? It always looks so clean!

Thank you so very much Anon, I'm happy you enjoy my stuff! <3

I made posts about my current brushes on both Bsky and Twit:

BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/cranneo.bsky.social/post/3lc7k4msg3k24

Twitter: https://x.com/Cranneo/status/1863040518432666011

Currently, the brushes #2 & #3 are my most used. I recently found #1 and #4 so I've started using them recently- I especially love #1 for small details!

Thank you for the reblog! Please don’t feel pressured at all, but of course, I’m looking forward to seeing who you pick out for the next round!

Re: the artwork, I absolutely love how bunny draws him! I’m weak and keep getting commissions of Fang in particular, he’s my special little guy and I spoil him something awful. Have a little more art of the baby boy baby.

Art by cranneo!

I was saying to someone else the other day how the thing I really love about tieflings and virtue names is that it reveals a lot about the character. For Fang, his name wasn’t a conscious declaration of what he believes he is or what he wants to embody, because he was like twelve at the time. At that point in his life, he didn’t understand the point of a virtue name, he was just imitating this thing that he’d seen other tieflings do in an attempt to find community and establish some kind of personal identity. Still, it’s interesting that out of all the things he could have chosen, he saw himself in a simple copper coin.

“Usually the only bad shit that happens to them is what you decide to inflict,” ahhh, but see, we’re playing Out of the Abyss, where bad things happen to everyone, all of the time. Sarith had an extremely rough time in the first campaign, and in the reboot (we just played a session on Wednesday) he’s already making the more trigger-happy members of the party all jumpy and suspicious. I can’t imagine why, all my man did was conduct a tiny dark ritual. It brought back that dead NPC, didn’t it? I don’t see what the problem is. (A note: Fang/Sarith is non-canon for the reboot and we haven’t played that many sessions yet, however, the DM knows my biases and keeps making him hot. Fang made him maaad by disobeying a direct order in order to witness that ritual in the first place. I suffer in this house.)

He didn’t hook up with Graz’zt in the flesh, but there was definitely some kind of a mindfuck happening there! The way the big man was introduced to us in the first campaign, Graz’zt hadn’t actually stepped through into our world — the Demogorgon was the only one stomping around in the Material Plane, as far as we knew — and he was largely interacting with the world as a disembodied presence. The ship comes from that one time he briefly possessed Fang so he could gather information and investigate the party.

See, for most of his life, Fang has had this vague sense that he’s missing something fundamental to being a person. A lot of the time, he just feels… empty, lonely, lost. There’s this sucking void inside of his chest that just aches and aches, and he can’t ever seem to fill it up. There’s a reason for that! Fang feels empty because he was created that way. He was always meant to be a vessel for a demonic possession, hollowed out just enough that there was room in his chest for something far bigger than himself. The sacrifice Selene couldn’t go through with wasn’t a sacrifice in the traditional sense. It was a ritual that would bind her patron to Fang’s body, allowing said patron to access the Material Plane in a corporeal form.

So Graz’zt takes possession of Fang’s body and it’s a perfect fit, because Fang was literally made for it. Fang is initially freaked out but fails his WIS save and the fear turns to euphoria, not just because of Graz’zt intentionally fuzzing up his brain to keep him docile, but because for the first time in his life, he doesn't feel empty. Graz’zt can’t body snatch him permanently yet, but ah, well. He messes with the party for a while (with a particular focus on the bard PC who had a crush on Fang, which could mean nothing) and once he’s had his fun, he pulls out and Fang just, drops. No, they haven't hooked up, but Graz’zt has been inside of him and Fang has to deal with a lot of complicated feelings about that afterwards.

There's a post I've been sitting on for a long time, where I talk about how Fang's ultimate theme as a character is really just, the idea of bodily autonomy, and the interactions he has with characters like Graz'zt who seek to violate or disrespect his autonomy do illustrate that concept really well. I need to get on that again.

oc tag meme: fang!

Chibi art by bunny over on instagram! Go check them out!

I wasn't tagged by anyone, but I saw a few people doing this meme, and thought it looked really fun! Starting a new chain and I'm no-pressure, only if you want to tagging: @yaezgalvus @crimson-riot and @space-writes space i know you've already done one for zeth'rinn but what about second breakfast your other wips

Starting off with Fang, who was initially created as a PC for the first module my partner ever ran about five years ago, Out of the Abyss! Unfortunately, the campaign went on permanent hiatus due to the DM going back to college and a couple players having to drop out, but in 2025, we decided to try again. I brought Fang back because I just love him too much not to.

I'll probably end up doing this for a bunch of other OCs, so if you do or do NOT want to be tagged in future lemme know? I might end up just posting them with no tags and whoever finds 'em, finds 'em.

Basic Info

Name: Fang 1

Class/Subclass: Rogue, Scout subclass! 2

Background: Urchin

Gender: Trans man 3

Sexuality: Bisexual

Pronouns: He/him

1 Fang chose his own name, like many tieflings. When most folks on the Sword Coast hear that he named himself Fang, they probably think of the long, sharp tooth of an animal, that he's trying to come across as fearsome and strong. The truth is less impressive; in the city of Mulmaster, from which he hails, a fang is a copper coin.

2 In his original campaign, he took a level dip into Cleric during a desperate moment. Now that @yaezgalvus is rebooting the campaign, I might end up multiclassing in a different direction entirely!

3 When I first came up with his character, I assumed he was a cis man, but working with him and developing his character over the course of five years... I realised somewhere in there that I'd just straight up gotten it wrong.

Other

Family: His mother, Selene pictured on the right, seemingly abandoned him when he was very young. 1 He never met his birth father, 2 and isn't aware of any other living relatives.

1 In reality, Fang was supposed to be a sacrifice for a particularly nasty demonic ritual, and Selene couldn't bring herself to do it. She gave him up in order to "save" him, and while her decision ultimately did a lot of damage, she didn't have a lot of good options.

2 This is because he doesn't actually have one. Fang's "other parent" is arguably just his mother's warlock patron. With that information, Fang is technically a cambion, not a tiefling, but he's certainly stunted and runty enough to pass as a tiefling with little argument.

Birthplace: Mulmaster, in the Moonsea region in North Faerûn.

Job: "Thief" isn't a real job, but...

Phobias: Spiders, being forced to consume spoiled or contaminated food.

Guilty Pleasures: He doesn't have a lot of guilty ones! He likes what he likes and indulges where he can, because he doesn't always get the chance to do so.

Hobbies: Fishing, collecting, and I think he'd get into sewing if he had the time.

Morals

Alignment: Chaotic Good

OTP: I made the classic D&D blunder of falling for a minor NPC with like two lines of description and now my favourite OC/Canon ship in any media is Fang/Sarith. Depressive drow soldier and awkward but well-meaning tiefling thief go through one hell of a mental health crisis, and also the potential, literal end of the world together.

Other fun ships: Fang gets shipped with a lot of people, largely because he's so starved for affection and attention that he'll take it from anyone. In the rebooted version of the campaign, there might be something brewing with the party's gnoll barbarian, Geb. In the original campaign, he had a fledgling romance with another PC, a drow bard who's no longer with us. They hatched a dragon egg together, even.

He's also been shipped with a ton of NPCs, including Derendil, 1 Shal, 2 a drider-shaped aberration with two heads, and the actual demon lord of lust and hedonism, if you're nasty. There's also an argument to be made for shipping him with his goddess after he level-dipped into Cleric in the first campaign.

I don't think Fang realises he's a monsterfucker, but he definitely is.

1 A quaggoth with human intelligence who claims to be a cursed elven prince, Beauty and the Beast style, and only occasionally flies into a violent beast-like rage.

2 THE CONSORT OF THE DUERGAR KING OF GRACKLSTUGH, FANG

OT3: N/A, surprisingly. He's open to poly, it's just never come up.

BroTP: In both versions of the campaign, Fang is sticking close to our party's very steely, hard-ass drow monk. Pradir is a known heretic and pisses off Lolthites wherever she goes, but she knows her way around the Underdark, and in a fight, he wants her in his corner.

As far as NPCs go, pretty close with Stool, myconid sprout and the party's beloved mascot. If Stool dies, I am going to riot.

There's also this one duergar NPC from the book named Hemeth, who's kind of shady, but to our party, he ended up being really chill and helpful! In the Modern AU me and Nickie have going, he and Fang are good friends, and sometimes roommates. Oh my god, they were roommates

NoTP: Buppido, a derro prisoner of the drow with some... problems and issues, "turned him down" once. Fang hadn't actually said anything to him that hinted at interest, but you know.

gifty to my friend @cranneo <33

[cranneo]

First, I'm super new to your art but I am in LOVE with it. And god I wish I could see more for that blue headed Skeledae you made for adoption! I use to have blue hair and that character appealed to me so hard my jaw dropped XD You've probably been asked before but I was curious. What is that species anyway? It's beautiful and I can't say I've seen anything like it. I hope you plan to do more. I'm hyped to see it.

Anon thank you so much!! <3 I think you're talking about the poor beaten up boyo yeah? he's over here in my TH and belongs to Cappu https://toyhou.se/Cranneo/created

and god, I've seriously been meaning to make a species sheet for my skeledae but I just never get to it-thank you so much for the interest however! Here's the main thangs about 'em:

-They're skeleton demons, their name comes from "skeleton" and the latin word "daemon"-their demon forms(their horned/tailed/nailed versions) give them extra strength-their extra strength in their demon forms is directly proportional to the length of their horns-as the more bones they consume the longer they grow up to a certain point(about up to a foot and a half? because christ, imagine one with like...6ft+ horns LOL)-they're capable of retracting their horns/tails/nails in all at once or individually-the way they consume bones is inspired by bearded vultures(stomach acid) and hyenas(bite force)-buuut since most don't need the extra strength in the modern age in order to survive,most are extremely laid back in bone eating-they can live long lives, the more bones they eat the longer

But of course, the buyers don't have to write these deets in to their daes at all. It's all up to 'em really once I finally get the sheet done

[cranneo]
