i recommend drawing your dnd party playing dnd

#TheCuriosities #art #oc #dnd #dndart #dndoc #ttrpg

digital doodle of seven dnd characters playing the game itself: a void-headed elven ranger is lecturing an upset human (?) monk about hoarding all game pieces and gold coins. a warforged mausoleum barbarian and a half-orc paladin are figuring out a certain rule in the playbook. an elven sorcerer Lady is DMing behind the DM screen. a goliath warlock is reaching for her mini to take action. a gunslinger-bard vampire is sitting peacefully and painting a mini.

Happy 3-year anniversary to Don't Play Defense #Art #Pride

Mspaint doodle- a person strides forward, wearing a shirt with a trans flag. They say "I LOVE being trans!". They have an expression of pure glee.

The person is stopped by someone else, who accusingly points while they say "You! Justify your happiness to me!"

The accosting person says "Debate me no-". They are cut off by the person in the trans shirt saying "No thank you!" as lasers shoot from their eyes, exploding the head of the other character in a cartoonish fashion.

The accosting person stands, alive but expressionless as their headless torso smolders. The person in the trans shirt walks away, a stupidly happy grin still present.

being an artist is really just realising that you've never actually known what anything looks like ever

...and just like that, it's my birthday! Here's couple of my fave pieces from previous years

oh whoops who dropped all these links all over the place...

⭐https://www.inprnt.com/profile/juunipupu/

digital painting depicting knight oc Wreg. He's standing somberly and puring milk over himself from a leather water skin. The milk has soaked his hair and bodyhair into curls. He's gripping a red belt strap in his other hand. Illustrative, medieval manuscript inspired golden snakes surround him to drink the dripping milk.

Linoprint of a knight bust. Sallet helmet’s visor is up and the knight has a s skull for face. There are black stars and thorny vine around him.

Digital painting of knight oc Wreg. He is shirtless, flushed, and tears stream down his face and torso. His other eye is slightly open, looking up to something out of frame. He's draped in heavy green velvet Cloak that is embroidered with starts, sequin and knights in various state of undress. Behind the cloak is a lace with knights, animals and flowers. Someone is behind the lace, pressing his fingers into it.

digital painting of knight oc Wreg unbuckling another knight's cuisses. He looking up at the other knight, whose face is not visible, and cries silently. The other knight is gripping into a bright red curtain, pulling it to hide them from a passerby knight.

it's coming up on one year since my accident(tm) and I'm just now starting to get the power in my arm back. I keep thinking of the ER doctor who laughed when I asked him when I'll be able to play sports again (HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT 2AM, BTW), then said ''in a year you'll be as good as yesterday.''

Being an artist trying to talk with other artists is just embarrassing. "I like your shapes and colours!" Mortifying playground shit

Might be cheesy, but every time I draw digital I think of my friends through the years. Every little trick I use Is something I learned from watching them draw or them giving me tips. Time might send us all in different ways, but at least I can still remember you fondly while drawing.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

reliquaries

A digital illustration of a WoW wretched who grips a forsaken and kisses him through a mask he wears on his face. The forsaken tenderly holds the back of his head with one hand, and with the other makes a saintly, placating gesture. Three vignettes feature a dead robin wrapped in brambles, a vial of soil and a plant, and a key and cloth wrappings.

a private conversation

A digital illustration of a WoW k'thir and troll. They stand with their faces close to one another and gripping each other's wrist/hand, which reach for outlines of a bird and a lantern. Three vignettes depict a shadowed figure holding a book, a monstrous albatross in combat with shadowy, eyed tentacles, and a skull with an arrow between its jaws.

dislocated elbow that made me unable to lift my arm for 3 months whomst💃
really happy with this years batch despite spiralling heavy into work at the expense of personal art. it helps that so much of the projects this year were an absolute (queer) joy 🥂to 2026!
