I recently played a Tier 4 D&D homebrew one-shot, and rolled up a caster because I'd noticed my party was mostly martials. Did a quickly colored version of this to show the other players during the "introduce your character" segment on game day, because I tend to take a long time verbally describing my characters ^^;

She's very obviously based on Raven from Teen Titans, I think. And I was too lazy to think up another magic effect so... let's say she's just about to hurl an Eldritch Blast at someone =P

Here we go!

After around two months of work, revisions and going back-and-forth on the the designs, here is the full set of character class icons for FGG Games, LLC and their upcoming TTRPG, The City of Ascalon.

These icons are all drawn by me and are (C) Ash Something Art and FGG Games LLC No AI was used in the creation of these images.

One of my first drawings for 2022 - my own DnD character in a friend’s campaign! Her name is Crowley - or technically, Anna, but that was a secret for a long time~ She’s an aasimar but also a warlock (undead patron). 

Hopefully, she gets a good ending!

the borderlands artist's guide

(this was originally posted on Cohost but I believe it merits reposting here)

hello! are you a fanartist who's into Borderlands or considering getting into Borderlands? do you find the characters difficult to draw? then do I have the solution for you: references! ...however, it might be difficult to find said references, or at least accurate ones. so here's my guide to such things. i will be going through the 3 big options of finding accurate references in ascending order of difficulty, but don't worry, none of these are too difficult to do.

option 1: artstation

artstation is probably the most straightforward way to get references, as gearbox employees post their official work there. you're pretty much guaranteed to find whatever you need. as a bonus, you might even find concept art that didn't get into the game proper, as well as environments, enemies and props. yes, artstation does also host fanart, but you can easily tell what's official and what's not by the game logo: if it's there, it's official.

while this is easy, it doesn't really let you rotate the character as you please or look at their raw textures. for that, we'll need the second option.

option 2: umodel

umodel is a program that lets you view and export assets of most unreal engine games, borderlands included. however, it works differently for different unreal engine versions. i will only be talking about Borderlands 3 models in this section, as they are easier to access and view. in order to do so, simply install umodel and extract it from its zip, then start the executable. this will bring up a gui. in the top bar, select/write the localization of your game files, which should be a folder obviously named Borderlands 3. check the override game selection box, pick unreal engine 4 from the left dropdown and Borderlands 3 from the right dropdown. leave everything else intact. click ok to start the file extraction process. the files are encrypted, however, and umodel will ask you for the key, which is 0x115EE4F8C625C792F37A503308048E79726E512F0BF8D2AD7C4C87BC5947CBA7. simply paste this string into the box and confirm, and umodel will work its magic. when it's done extracting the files, it will present you with a file browser of basically every game asset. models are located in the Game folder, with NPCs in the NonPlayerCharacters folder and playable characters in the PlayerCharacters folder. navigate to the folder of whatever character's model you want to view, open it, select the folder named Model, right click it and select open folder content. this finally will open the viewer, which you look through by using the page down and up keys.

this method allows us to look at the models with greater detail, and even view the raw textures. but it doesn't let us zoom in to see even finer details. for that, we'll need the third option.

option 3: deviantart + blender

this option has a few steps. first, go to user kabalstein's deviantart page of Borderlands models. it's full of models ripped straight from the games, converted and made for the xnalara program... but we're not going to be using it. download the models of the characters you want, and unzip them into a folder named appropriately (make sure all the model data is in one folder!) instead, download blender and xpstools. DO NOT UNPACK THE ZIP THE LATTER COMES IN!!!!!!!! open blender, go to edit -> preferences, and you'll find the add-ons section. click install, which will open a file dialog. select the xpstools zip. refresh the add-on list, and you should find the addon, which allows you to import and export xnalara files in blender. then, go to file -> import -> xnalara/xps -> xnalara/xps model, which again will bring up the dialog. select the model folder of the character you want to view, and bam, you can now view them any way you please, thanks to blender's advanced camera controls. you can even turn off all lighting effects and pose them if you need.

i hope this guide was helpful to at least someone, and i eased the fears of at least one Borderlands artist. see you!

OKAY I AM CONFUSED in THEORY you should be able to like. delete resource lines from a chargenmorph file like "oh I don't want that hair, delete" BUT when I do it it just deletes every resource after it as well. like. hmm example if I have

<resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\humanfemale\hf_har_owl" cut="1" /> <resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\humanfemale\hf_har_raindrops" cut="1" />

and I decide I don't want owl, so I delete it, so I have

<resource name="art\characters\playercharacter\humanfemale\hf_har_raindrops" cut="1" />

when I boot up da2 and go to CC now the raindrops hair doesn't work. it's just a bald head

i am about to just uninstall and redo all of my cc mods but i'm SCARED that will somehow fuck up some of my other stuff

"(. . .)But what is a monster you may ask?  While some of them are nearly indistinguishable from common wildlife or an odd human the key is the magic they hold within themselves.  Monsters are made of magic as much as you or I are made of water and nitrogen, pure energy set into a solid thoughtful form.  Fay, Demons, Ghosts, and otherworldly beings are all brought together by their innate magics.  To be a monster is not to be hostile, or evil, it is simply to have magic beyond the scope of a physical body, I have met many monsters in my time,  some kind and sweet as the day is long while others were out for blood, though few hold actual malice." -Doctor Anna Lewis

I am celebrating LGBT+ history this month. Are you?

As you know, at RollPlusPod we support all genders and sexualities as we are a diverse group ourselves. It’s the time of year where it’s important to look at those who came before us and trailblazed so we could have the rights we do today. This years theme is politics in art. Do you have any favourite political art? Do your PCs make any strong statements or represent for you? Let us know!
