Colored!

My favorite part of the Druid Root is that it is much higher in protein and iron content than the mundane tubers and roots they're formed from.

I should mention, all in-image text is written from the POV of Wys Kel Ran, a traveling bard.

It's been a year since I got a note-taking tablet and decided to start drawing again. To celebrate, I'm redrawing the first piece I did. I still need to color it, but I appreciate the improvement!

After several months, the party has finally made it to their first mini-dungeon: a haunted lighthouse guarded by a banshee and intellect-devouring shades, cursed by vampire-cultists. I'm excited to scare them.

In a magic system where a large aspect of magic is the strength of your belief in what you are casting, the impact of substances like drugs, alcohol, and other "ego-enhancers" is widespread among the mage community.

I realized I forgot to finish shading this fella, and I also played around with some non-black lines.

I'm always searching for quality gnomes to put in my plant pots, but I've not been happy with the recent gnome designs I've been seeing. This Redcap is born of my frustration with modern gnome design.

First #art of 2026! My attempt at a rainbow trout for a new PFP. I'll be back on the normally scheduled program of odd #worldbuilding, #oc 's, #dnd, and #ttrpg nonsense the consequences of which have been too deeply pondered shortly.

I'm working on a new PFP since I don't really do pixel art anymore. As a goodbye to it, here is some of my favorite bits of pixel art I did for #pokemon #infinitefusion back before I got a tablet:

Happy holidays!

I'm still alive. Turns out, an intense finals season followed by family time doesn't leave much left for other endeavors. I'll be back to it in January once I finish an article draft.

Here are some birds I spotted while hiking in the hills outside my parents' yesterday!

I believe this is a wrentit. I believe this is a yellow-rumped warbler. I believe this is a yellow-crowned warbler.

Should I be studying for a Constitutional Law exam? Yes. And yet.

A little vignette of Croak, Lord of Lilies, the Fisher King, doing his thing among the cypress. Will this turn into a comic? Maybe. Will I color it? Yes.

Oh my goodness, is this my first fan art? Thank you so much!

And maybe the lad deserves a fancy title.

Personally, I quite like 'The Lily Lord', but it's a bit fancy for such a little guy.

The minor god of a vernal pond. I have the urge to follow this fella while they fish and cook.

Working name is "Croak," but I'm not sold. Anyone else have ideas?

Lares and Penates are Gods of Houses and or small natural features. They are quite small, the largest reaching the human knee in height, but they are able to manage their "domain" to a certain extent.

The running yaga huts of the Roadrunner Coven are considered the highest form of folk magic. Often made of rammed earth, there are many variants, but they will usually contain at least one rounded surface for aerodynamics and a bird or dragon motif.

A friend said pottery was a "wine-aligned" activity, and so I've made this. I genuinely believe this would be more useful for new DnD players than the existing chart.

I think I'd be cocktail-full, and my current DnD character is beer-empty. How about you?

The Imperial Revenue Service agent attempts to collect.

#worldbuilding #dnd #ttrpg #oc #ocsky #art #comic
The agent approaches the dragon: "Pursuant to Imperial Revenue Code Section 6331(a), I have been authorized to seize-" The agent is blasted by a breath weapon. The agent is unscathed except for her cloak. The dragon is surprised. The agent menaces. "Pursuant to Title 26, Chapter 1, Subchapter F, Part 301.6651-1 of the Code of Imperial Regulations, I have assessed a 5% penalty on your back taxes. Additionally, I am now obligated to defend myself."

Two quick sketches of other Imperial Revenue Service agents, also known as "White Cloaks." Although their uniform is loose, they all must have a conical helm, a white cloak, and the symbol of the Wolf of August in gold.

Still chipping away, but my shading is actually starting to look like I want it to? Madness.

Happy Halloween! I was distracted at a conference today, so here are some candies commonly enjoyed around the Night Parade. Sugar skulls, candied meal worms, and more!

The flavors will typically be based around herbs (mint, licorice, ginger, etc.) or caramel.

The Imperial Revenue Service agent has been shaded more intensely with red in their eyes so that you know you should pay your taxes.
