Intelligence is knowing every sword form, strike and stance there is. Wisdom is knowing that sword it too big for the little ones. Colors are a bit of a mess.

With the dwarven ties to ancestry and being a refugee and a person who communicates with spirits all painted a really sad tale. And the charisma dump and he'd be so depressing. #art #pathfinder #dnd

Trying out something new. I saw a video on tiktok of a guy drawing randomized DnD characters. I'm doing the same thing with Pathfinder. It was a lot of fun. #dnd #art #pathfinder

These two are cursed for me. They were the first characters I drew, but the video was lost. And then, here, my camera over heated and stopped recording twice. And then I forgot to post it yesterday. Enjoy #startrek #art #lowerdecks

Another request! Touta Matsuda from Death Note. I am very happy with this. I drew Ryuk for Death Note earlier because he has a more interesting character design. But this goofball. In a cast full of overly serious intellectuals, this one was the best. #art #anime #deathnote #toutamatsuda
