The City of Mist

[Secret santa for my friend Pauli <3
OCs: Eli (Pauli), Agnes (me), Fin ( @mossborn.bsky.social ) and Mahadi ( @coupleofkooks.bsky.social ) #newtsocs ]
digital illustration int he style of a comic cover or a poster in mostly tones of green. It shows a darkened street and 4 charcaters walking through it away fromt he viewer. The main character shon here is a blonde man in a wide jacket, short hair, stubble and claw mark scars on his chin. he is looking back with a concerned expression and there is green ghostly mist coming out of his eyes, floating up towards the title that read " Elijah Rivers". Int he background there are three more chartacters, a dark haired woman with a long striped scarf (Agnes), a white haired figure in a puffy bomber jacket (Fin) and a salt n pepper hair bearded man (Mahadi). On the bottom there is a smaller depiction of the group but from the side and in a slightly more cartoony style. Everyone in the group is smoking a cigarette.

Dr Aseem Chakravarthy, new favorite guy from a small story set within the City of Mist universe we’ve been putting together with a friend.

He's such a good bean. Losing my mind over him a little.
A grayscale digital painting depicting a middle aged bearded man wearing a knitted sleeveless sweater, a shirt and suit pants. he is holding a mirror cube in his hands with a labyrinth pattern on it. The same pattern is visible carved on the wall behind him. He is standing in the darkness with a strong direct light pointed at him. He's very cute.

QRP with your flower art 💀💙
A digital painting of a skeleton resting - with its hands crossed over its chest - on the field of forget-me-nots. The flowers grow around and inside of the skeleton, in its chest, they peak through its eye sockets. It's night, probably, the air is chill, maybe some forest sounds in the distance.

Another sketchbook piece i've been meditating over in recent weeks, little Cabinet of Curiosities.

Really enjoying having something like this on the side to doodle on.
a picture of a sketchbook spread done in ink and markers. The image depicts a cabinet of curiosities: shelves showing a collection of weird little things including bones, jars with eyes, skulls and tiny people, some shelves are overgrown by nature, some have faces looking through. There is also a cat sleeping on one, and a Rain World reference tucked in because I'm playing it right now :)

Victoro got a fancy new eye recently from the Night Mother, or from the hags? We don't know for sure, but it sits nicely in his eye socket already, the whole process was very bloody, very cursed and very exciting 👁️

[Curse of Strahd, She is the Ancient campaign, ink and markers on paper]
A drawing of an eyeball with a pupil and iris split into three and what I hope reads at least a little as roots in place of what would normally be the ocular muscle. It looks cursed as hell, but it's ok, we ball.

Level 8 portrait of Victoro, finally with his Raven boy <3

Curse of Strahd / She is the Ancient campaign.
(Previous portraits in the posts below.)
Grayscale portrait of a man with a raven. The man has horns with texture resembling wood and his fingers are clawed. He is pressing his face close to the raven that's embracing him with its wings, the two of them getting some comfort for once.

My witch character for a Daggerheart one shot: Ma Mabel, with her frog Felicia, and with the skull of her dead husband Tobias.
A drawing of a small old witch lady, she has a round smiling face, round glasses, in general she is quite round, she is carrying a skull that glares ominously, and a walking stick on the top of which sits a frog.

Happy International Tiger Day 🐯

Mahadi / City of Mist campaign
A set of sketches and references used. On the left are random photos from google showing tigers with various facial expressions: one with a tiger sticking its tongue out, second one with a profile of a tiger showing its teeth, third one en face tiger snarling at the camera. On the right are sketches of a man, shirtless, bearded, tattooed, with expressions based on those of the tigers. Happy International Tiger Day!

This little shit again. I love him.

(Mahadi, a character i play in our City of Mist campaign)
A sketch of a bearded man, he is carrying a cane and smoking a cigarette. His shirt is open and there are bullet scars visible (barely on this drawing) over his chest. His chest, neck and hands are covered with tattoos that are just scribbles because I can't get to designing them properly, but the two on each side of his neck are round, that's all i know :) He is wearing a coat, a white shirt and striped pants, a couple of gold chains around his neck and some rings. He is smirking like a little shit he is. A sketch of a bearded man, he is carrying a cane and smoking a cigarette.
