It’s finally done! My labor of love for my dnd group! ❤️ After a month of worth and making my iPad really push itself, it’s here!!!! The first image is the whole movie poster with the name of our campaign: “Shadow of the Demon Queen”, and then each of the characters on their own with their prophetic title. They read “The Demigod, The Inheritor, The Avatar, and The Warlord”.

Opening a Red Bubble store!

Thanks everyone for liking the Korok sticker I made! It makes me really happy that my funny little drawing made you all so happy. A few people asked about getting a sticker so I opened a Red Bubble! I’ve added some other designs there too. Check it out!

What pen do you normally use? I just watched one of your speed draws and it looks like it handles nicely!

I didn't know which pen you were thinking of so here are my favorite pens to draw with! I like how the ink flows with the Precise pen even though it and the Pentel pen aren't waterproof. I love Micron as well, but for some reason, they always seem to dry up on me pretty fast...so I go through them pretty fast heheh If you have any pen recommendations please let me know! I always like trying new pens~

Still working on getting my computer up and running… At thing point I’ve basically built a whole new computer haha! Just waiting for some final parts! In the mean time this illustration has kept me busy! I added the final character and played with the composition to balance everything out; so I’m just about done with the line work phase! My poor iPad is not happy about the size of this one lol!

Description below the cut.

Four characters stand in dramatic hero poses on a grey background. They are just line art, but each character is a different color.

Top character is a changeling man with short shoulder length hair that is being blown lightly back by a slight wind. His eyes are wide in awe and has his arms spread out with a magic circle encompassing his right hand, and magic energy spreading in front of him to his left hand. He is wearing a simple button down shirt and a vest. He is drawn in blue.

The middle right character is an elvish woman with long straight hair, with a few strands hanging in her face. She is wearing a bralette style top and low cut bottoms that hug her hips. She is holding a broken long sword in her right hand and her left hand is held up daintily. She is looking off in the distance with a tear streaming down her face. She is drawn in purple.

The middle left character is a human woman facing the viewer. She has her arms up in a defensive combat posture. Her right hand is wearing an armored glove with sharpened metal claws, and her right hand is holding a dagger. Her hair is long and thick. It’s pulled up in a half up-do with braids on the side of her head and the remainder flows freely. She is wearing a crop top, baggy pants, and a belt with a pouch on her lower back. She is very muscular and her arms and face are covered in battle scars. She is drawn in red.

The bottom character is a Tiefling man staring down the viewer. He has short cropped hair on the sides and the top is longer and slicked back. He has two horns that curve out of his forehead backwards. The left horn is broken off about the halfway point; and the right horn has a huge gash in the middle. He is holding his left arm up to his face to catch his nose that is bleeding. This arm is heavily armored, it is large and covered in thorns and rose motifs. He is drawn in mauve.

My computer died so I went back to the WIP of my dnd party’s group shot! I’ve always wanted to make one of these multi character posters but I couldn’t figure it out until it just… clicked!

I also think I may have finally conquered how to draw hair really well!

Bottom: My character, Archaeus, Tiefling fighter. Right: Ithildan, drow cleric. Left: Kaija, human atavist. Top: Xerath, changeling wizard.

The middle right character is an elvish woman with long hair going down her back with some loose strands hanging in her face. She is wearing a wrap like, bralette top, and holding a broken sword in her right hand; her left hand is slightly outstretched delicately. She is looking off page and has a small tear welling up and falling down her face. She is drawn in purple.

The middle left character is a human woman who has her back to the viewer. This drawing is still in progress so it is not as detailed. She is wearing her hair with a French braid on top, and the rest of her hair falls freely. She has a halter-like top on, and she is holding a chain in her left hand. She is drawn in red.

I haven’t posted here in like…. A year and a half lol. I made this of my current (and 2nd oldest) dnd character, Archaeus! It’s not at all what I thought this piece would look like when I started, but it’s so much better than that original idea! The game we’re currently playing is exploring legacy storylines and Arc’s is “The Warlord”. Can’t wait to see where this fighter goes!

Image description under the cut!

A dark black and white headshot illustrations of a tiefling in plate armor with pointed shoulders. He is has stoic expression with sharp features and long horns that curve upward. The left horn has a large notch in it, while the right horn appears to be broken off at about 3/4s of the length. The right shoulder has more detail with large vines with thorns wrapping around a large rose centered on the pauldron. He is raising an armored hand with sharp fingertips up to his face. Blood is smeared across his face and runs out of his nose and streaks down his hand. His eyes are gold and the blood is a bright red.

Here’s the turntable of mans!!! The high poly sculpt is finished and now I can move on the the super long laborious part of retopo 🙃.

I’m going to try out a new method in Zbrush and see how it goes!

His swords and costume are officially done!! I had a lot of fun making the crystal on the second sword, and making the sword frog. The hair is next, and I’ll make another update when I get that done! 💕

I’ve been slowly picking away at this model of my dnd character, Darkleer! (The hair is in progress, okay… he’s not bald 😭) I’ve got most of the pieces done, and I’m compiling them all together! I recently finished his scimitars, but I have to get better renders before I show them off!

I’m working on making this a game ready character, and currently this is just the high poly sculpt. The first step in a LOOOOOONG process! 💖 ((I think I’m gonna do hair cards 🤔))

I wrote a public blog post that goes through the process of formatting your art to post online safely by reducing the DPI and file size without losing overall visual quality. Read it now here!
