forgot to post this! this is mae, my firbolg druid for the new dnd campaign we're doing! she's the Most Autism Girl and i love her so much lmao. yes im aware firbolgs are more humanoid than this but like.....i couldn't help it ok my brain just said "fluffier. more. FLUFFIER." and i ended up with a bear

her hair is made of vines thanks to her stint in the feywild, and she's already used it to her advantage for infinite rope hacks. current strategy for prisoner transport: tie them up in vine rope and stuff em in her backpack. thanks to powerful build, she has literally no trouble carting around a derro burrito lmao

also she can turn into a giant lizard which is sick as hell

Second meeting for this campaign happened today, had a lotta fun and tried to design clothing for some npcs when I got back home (since we just got to see their faces and a tiny bit of their shoulders) :33

Party Crashers Character Profile: Dewdrop "Dewd" Whitewood

Okay I'm doing it! I'm writing about the characters from the Out of the Abyss DnD campaign I'm running. In terms of format, I'll put basic info above the cut and rambling below it.

Dewd is @demynom's character, and all the art in this post is hers!

Age: 20 Race: Centaur Background: Outlander Class: Druid, Circle of the Shepherd Most Favored Wild Shapes: Lizard, so that dem has many excuses to draw a cute lil lizard guy and also for purposes of stealth. Voice: Dem's very best Enthused Summer Camp Counselor impression Basic Premise: Guy nothing bad has ever happened to Finds Out with a vengeance.

Backstory: Dem came up with a cute fun horse guy and knew she needed to get him to the Underdark. To try and get a feel for his vibe, she listened to a bunch of showtunes, including Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which led to Dewd's character premise: Dewd grew up on a sickeningly idyllic mountain as the eldest of eight siblings and his parents' and youngest siblings' favorite, largely sheltered because he's just such a cute fun little guy, with most emotional burdens being pawned off on his sister Willow. So, after an exhausting road trip to try to get medicine for their youngest brother, Willow sold Dewd to some Zhentarim in a tavern without his knowledge, and he was clocked in the head and woke up enslaved in an Underdark outpost, deeply unprepared for the horrors awaiting him.

Party Niche (Mechanical): Despite his -1 INT stat, under dem's control, Dewd is a HAUNTINGLY adept support caster. Every time I think I have the party in a corner or a beloved npc fully doomed by the narrative, there that dumb fucking horse is with a well-placed Daylight or Sleet Storm or Hold Person or a god damned Fog Cloud that lets the party stage a full prison escape unaided and a session early forcing me to throw all my notes out the window (deeply affectionate). He also has the highest Strength and Charisma of the party, which is frankly terrible news for the party.

Party Niche (Narrative): Dewd is the party's collective comic relief and sunshine, a role he Sure Isn't Chafing Under at All After a Year. As he's suffered trauma after trauma and hard truth after hard truth, he's grown increasingly wary and jaded. However, the rest of the group uses his kindness and innocence as a barometer for their ability to do the right thing, and it's slowly creeping into him believing he can't do anything wrong. He's gone from a guy horrified by the mere concept of violence to a guy who, when startled, will cast Blight and ask questions later--a guy who, rather than waiting for the Zhentarim agents they're dealing with to double-cross the party, will poison them with spores to get the information he wants first.

Act Two Goal: Dewd has the most personal/least world-focused motivation for this second half of the campaign. His extremely trauma-bonded boyfriend, Sarith (pictured above on Dewd's back, will be getting his own post), is infected/possessed by the spores of Zuggt'moy, the Demon Queen of Fungi, leaving him only occasionally lucid, rarely verbal, and slowly drifting towards death. Dewd, feeling displaced and not himself even after having fought his way safely home to his family with Sarith, is venturing back into the Underdark in hopes of finding a cure for Sarith at any cost and maybe finding some part of the peace that was stolen from him when his sister sold him away.

And now, most importantly. Photodump of beautiful art of him dem has made arranged chronologically to sum up the arc thus far:

So yeah I love this guy desperately. Can't wait to watch his morals degrade further as he claws to return to an innocence that can never be regained 🤩

terrible news, everyone: mae has been petrified by a medusa. therefore, new character. remember kai? edgy warlock necromancer boy? yeah. decided to make him about 90% more on board with what the hags are up to, and now he's an unhinged death cleric lmaO

i will say though, despite his 2 madness levels, he is surprisingly well adjusted for someone raised by hags for 13 years! also thanks again to @toriistorii for being excellent and letting me use my "it would be So Cool" ideas. this go around, it was "hey can i make a tattoo into a cleric focus?? it's not on a shield but it's TECHNICALLY prominently displayed as an emblem....."

verdict was yes, as long as it's not covered! so....forearm tattoo! [boogies quietly] it's actually sick as hell tbh i need to stop making tattoos for characters that i want to get irl im too broke for this nonsense. it's a carrion crow skull on top of an azalea flower, attached to a kusarigama. did you know that azaleas are actually SUPER poisonous, to the point where sending someone a bouquet of them in a black vase was a really well known death threat back in the day? thought that was a fun fact :3c

[bludmd23]

my dnd campaign: the horrors persist, but so do the little treats (hot npcs delivered by me, an ace playing a giant guessing game)

some tattoo designs for one of my OotA npcs, Morwenna Ironfoot!! the party is going to be encountering an underground hot spring this upcoming session, and I decided I needed to sketch Morwenna’s tattoos so that I could give the party a visual here :]

shoutout to @jookpubstock for the pose references I used!! as someone who’s still learning anatomy, they were INVALUABLE for me :D

if anyone is interested I could do a reblog breaking down all the tattoo designs and the symbolism + thought processes behind them,,,,
