Doddle my dnd characters, Corvid and Campbell as digimons for digimon day.

Had way too much making this pixel art scene. A bit of a hypothetical fight of Corvid going up against his demon. Needless to say, I doubt good rolls. :P Gabranth, Corvid sprites, and text were made from me. Background, menu boxes, and spells were taking from Final Fantasy 6.

Some more stuff from the DnD game. Drew up Corvid's mom, Tahula. A bit no-nonsense kenku, a stark contrast to Corvid and his antics. Of course she is very protective of her kids and adoptive grandchild. Based her design on the spectacled owl.

Cassette the Gorm, showing off one of her recent repair projects. She quite likes to restore old retro tech. And much like her namesake, she is a collector of old music too.

Some more art done for the DnD game I'm running. I've actually had these done for a while, but I was finally able to reveal them to the party in game. The party had to deal with some of their nightmares, but they got some help from an unlikely source, and they got to meet the grown-up versions of the kids/siblings they've got to meet during their adventure: Fiv'Aro, Campbell and Xiv.

When I was younger, I kind of enjoyed the funny critical dunking on media. That whole "caustic critic" era. Got me to look at things more critically.

But now? I like hearing people go on about things they really like and are passionate about. Seeing them find appeal and beauty in things you'd never expected to conceive. Seeing what draws people into things, even if they know it can be absolute trash. And in turn it can show where people's creativity and passion lies in the art they create.

Getting into the spooky month with my dnd character Corvid. Looks like he is going through a typical kenku molting period... that or his yuan-ti curse is kicking in. He should be fine. :>

I'll have to give this a try.

Alien Pose Prompts

I was thinking about how it can be difficult to figure out our own creatures' anatomies because there are no direct references to draw from, and how I tend to draw my aliens in the same poses, and boom, this happened. Prompts to practice and push the limits of your alien's anatomy :) Aimed at sophonts, but a lot of them can apply to non-sapient beasties too.

And the background, animated to scroll. I couldn't share the original pic in animation since the size was too big.

Spent a good deal making this character menu in the theme of the Fire Emblem GBA games. I imagine this is what Corvid's menu would look in that setting.

Modifying the sprite work was a lot of fun. Some are still from the original like the menu boxes and the staves, while some others are my own, the white text included.
