Also a result of joining my new D&D group, we're trying out some other 3rd party mods. One of them is a space opera campaign using the ruleset of Starships and Starwyrms. I of course had to be a bird person because what else should anyone expect of me lol

#Spaceships&Starwyrms #Valkiri #Adept
A periwinkle blue bird alien lady. Though this species is avian-like in appearance, they are actually flying monotremes. She has two canard wings on the sides of her head and a tiny beak nose differentiated from her mouth. She is wearing a rose-patterned dress with glowing accents and has the imprint of a clock necklace around her neck. This design was based off of the plumage of the Victoria Crowned Pigeon.

I found a new D&D group this summer! We have 4 tables and meet weekly. I love the setup. Each DM selects players from the same "guild" to go on a quest for about 3-4 weeks and the players switch tables after. It feels like you're a part of a real adventuring guild!

#D&D #GemDragonborn #Wizard
Skardus Aelar, a sad beige Gem Dragonborn Evocation Wizard. She's still wearing her brown/gray graduation robes and dons a small red screech owl familiar on her left shoulder. With staff in hand she looks like she's readying herself to cast a spell, her red eyes stare intently at a point in the distance.

14 total attacks this year? It's gotta be time for D.gray-man OC's! (as a treat~)

The exorcists belong to: @fruitsjellies.bsky.social

While the Noah fighting them belongs to: instagram.com/knightlychika/

#D.gray-man #DGM #exorcists #noah #artfight2025 #teamfossils
Three exorcists in their combat uniforms face off against a fearsome Noah. One of the younger exorcists has been caught by the leg as he tries to escape through his portal. His comrade grabs him to pull him through on the other side while the youngest member covers them with her parasol as a shield. Inspired by the cult classic manga series D.gray-man by Katsura Hoshino.

New Attack! this creature named Sagebrush belongs to: toyhou.se/Shadow69

I've had this character queued up in my bookmarks for years but I decided that this year I was finally brave enough to take the plunge and draw them!

#hybrid #chimera #artfight2025 #teamfossils #monochromatic
A chimeric creature is depicted on a plain geometric background. It has the body of a deer, the tail of a greyhound, and the wings and head of an owl-like bird. Two long ornamental feathers hang from the back of its head on chains.

Revenge attack!
I received an attack from edriemo so I stumbled across their lady, Melody. I love her design but her story was what really gripped me! Read more here on her character page: artfight.net/character/67...

Another Art Fight attack, this time for CosmicColors's character Quinn! He's a chronomancer. Inspired by the Osprey photography of Andy Woo www.andywoophoto.com

The image is of an Aarakocra (which is a bird-like humanoid creature). He is flying low and skimming the surface of a water-like plain. His reflection can be seen in the water.
