My illustrations of the incredible poem "The tiger" by Nael (age 6)

Definitely the most based of all tiger motif poems, and that's a serious competition!
#myart #illustration #tiger
Drawing of a snarling tiger. Entire image is in shades of orange, black and white. Only tigers eyes have a hint of green in them. Behind the tiger are words "The tiger He destroyed his cage" A drawing of a snarling tiger with large words Yes YES above it Drawing of a snarling tiger with eyes that make it look insane. The words above it "The tiger is out"

A cute tiny mushroom fairyOC revenge for my friends @detheria.bsky.social attack on me 💙

#artfight #myart #digitalart #fairy #mushroom
A blonde fairy in blue dress sitting on a mushroom and propping her feet on a second smaller mushroom. Both the dress and mushrooms are covered in droplets and share the same shades of ultramarine blue.

Just a quick sketch of my old warlock Getla, because I was reminded he exists

I've played him few years ago in Descent to Avernus and enjoyed him enough that I have dragged him out for few RPs and one-shots The eye mismatch is a consequence of his choice of healers XD

A portrait of a bearded man with pointed ears. The whole drawing is in shades of desaturated blue except one of the man's eyes that has yellow iris and pupil, and black sclera. The man appears to be smirking at something ever so slightly

My Mothership hacker Smoke
I have never expected to enjoy a horror RPG as much as I am enjoying this one! Gradient Descent is a wild ride so far and the atmosphere is so intense <3
#myart #mothership #ttrpg #myoc
A portrait that appears to be partially drawn in coloured pencils. The person depicted has green hair floating around their face as if in zero G. The undercut on the left side of their head reveals a metal elements built directly into their head. They wear a number of different earrings and a nose ring. The person (named Smoke) looks directly back at the viewer with focus. Light gleams unnaturally in their eye. A couple of circles and lines surround their eye, reminiscent of a targeting system or a lense flair. The right side of their face and hair catch bright magenta and cyan rim lights.

Playing dress up with my Gangrel vampire OC Nav
She is in the path of the beast and likes it there
#vtm #vampirethemasquerade #gangrel #ttrpg #myart
Three copies of the drawing of a tall, grim woman with a buzz-cut with middle finger extended, each in different outfit. First one is wearing black, torn trousers, steel toed boots, red top with holes and a leather jacket. The second is wearing loose gray trousers, white undershirt and a brown leather bomber jacket with cream fur trim. The third one is wearing navy blue overalls and knee high riding boots. The outfit looks reminiscent of soviet era tank crew uniform. On the left-hand side there are sketches of her face front on and from profile, showing off a large scar across the left side of her head. Below those there is a sketch of open mouth with elongated fangs and sharpened lateral incisors

happy pride 💕

if you see this, qrp with queer art!
On yellow and black graphic background text saying "not gay as in happy but queer as in fuck you" In the middle of the composition there are four characters drawn from a low angle looking like a gang

First proper painting since a burnout. I might be recovering!
#myart #ocart #ttrpg #fantasy
A digital oil style painting of a half-elf woman in a white dress. The light illuminates her from behind implying the golden hour time of day. The warm light filters through parts of her dress. She is standing on a mossy rock with a dark forest looming behind her. Soft golden sparks surround her. She looks relaxed and possibly a little playful

I've spent last two days at the UK Games Expo and as always it was fantastic 💙
The haul is excessive but I wouldn't put anything back 😌

As always re-connecting with friends in the industry that dispersed across the world is the biggest delight, but it's impossible to resist all the goodies

I've seen new Nosferatu movie and it haunts my mind since. I'm going to have to go to cinema again.

It is such an excellent film <3

So I did a little fanart in the meantime

#nosferatu2024 #nosferatu #fanart #roberteggers
Very dark painting depicting two people facing eachother. They are backlit with cold light putting their profiles in dark silhouette. The shorter female figure is looking up into the taller one eyes, without fear. The taller one is a man is hollow cheeked and withered but still imposing. He is gazing back into her eyes and a clawed hand extends towards her. The characters are Ellen Hutter and Count Orloclk as depicted in 2024 movie Nosferatu

Nawoj aka Nav

My new character for a Vampire game!
I'm incredibly excited to play her.
She is a Gangrel who follows Path of the Beast.
She is resilient and brutal in combat, a passable drummer in a punk band and the designated reality check for her Malkavian bestie
#vtm #myoc #myart #artistonBS
Portrait that appeared drawn in charcoal. Low angle of a determined looking woman with a buzz cut and a large scar on the side of her head Four sketches of the same woman. In one drawing she stands nonchalantly smoking a cigarette, with one hand in her pocket. Another one shows her crouched, bearing her teeth and displaying long fangs. One of her hands bears long talons. The other two are bust drawings from slightly different angles. There is also a separate study of open mouth with long fangs and pointed second teeth

The first call of the great mycelium of the forest.

A gentle young druid about to start on her path.

#myoc #dnd #druid #spore #mushrooms #mycelium #myart #artistonbluesky
A drawing in shades of dark. desaturated greens and very pale yellow. It's cropped really narrowly and depicts a pale, young woman looking over her shoulder with a mix of startlement and curiosity. Behind her tree are visible mushrooms in a colour matching her skin and hair.

Silk AKA Orlan Crow on a good and a bad day
Silk is my OC from Blades in the Dark RPG. He is a Slide, the gang's face and self appointed leader.
While he often seems nothing but superficial charm and bluster he does care about his little gang of shadows.
#myoc #myart #ttrpg #bind #ocsky
Realistic portrait drawn in the style of charcoal drawing. The portrait shows a man with a cocky, crooked smile. He has curled mustache and carefully coiffed hair with white streaks on his temples. A waist up sketch of a man, in style of the charcoal drawing. The shirtless man has his hands chained in front of him. His expression is closed off and grim, his eyes looking with intense focus. On his chest and shoulders there is number of visible scars and tattoos, including a dagger on his sternum, and a crow with a scythe over his heart.

Last couple of months I've started playing Mothership RPG with my friends.
It's a delight filled with existential horrors.
Here are some sketches of my character Smoke, Razorback - their original robot and the mere robot they had to assemble from remains of a dead android.
#myoc #ttrpg #myart
Full figure drawing of an androgynous person floating in zero G. They have green hair floating around their head, half their head is shaven allowing access to multiple metal sockets for slickware installed on the side of their head. They are wearing combat boots and military green jumpsuit. The jumpsuit is unbuttoned to their waist and the upper part of it hangs around their hips. They are wearing a bright orange crop top and a black shoulder holster. Their left arm is covered in black tattoos. Portrait of a person wearing something like a stylised VR headset with a tangle of cables connecting to it from above. The headset itself is smooth and sliver with a circular pattern on the front and a yellow band bearing a word "Razorback" in a neat font. The person is smiling slightly. They are wearing military green clothing and not very military green hair is escaping from under the helmet on one side. A drawing of a robot, its form vaguely inspired by cross of a grasshopper and a mantis. It's warm shade of gray with few yellow strip markings and word "Razorback" on one if its legs. The robot has little smile drawn on its face. Letters "RIP" are written above it. A drawing of a humanoid robot. It is sketched in in black with shades of gray and white coloured in and few bright orange strip markings along one leg. While the robot shape is overall humanoid it has hooves rather than feet and seems to be missing parts of its plating. One of its legs is wrapped in duct tape to hold it together. It has one eye painted on its partially damaged face plate, that misses any other features. But there is a big toothy smile of triangular sharp teeth painted on its chest. Below the smile word "P3RSEFON4" is written in hand written capital letters.

My Escher ganger from a year ago. I love those girls but I insist on giving them more practical boots for kicking butt. You don't want to die because your wedge heel got stuck in the grating!

#necromunda #warhammer #myart
A dark skinned woman wearing clothes and tattoos identifying her as a Escher ganger from necromunda. Her hair is red and put up in hair puff faux hawk and decorated with colourful feathers. She is standing with a flamethrower rested on her hip, the little pilot flame lit. She has red face paint in wide smudges under her eyes and on her chin. Her exposed skin bares variety of scars.

Soft morpherine anyone?
I was reminded that this old man needs to be gently passed around the X-mansion like a last splif at a party.

Fire

A piece from 2021, but still one of my favourite digital ones, because of the ease the image from my head transferred to the canvas.

Haunted
Digital illustration
Inspired by Blades in the dark RPG
Exhausted looking man lying down holding onto the surface he is on. The man has dark circles under his eyes, curled mustache and is wearing simple white shirt and gray trousers. Five specters crowd over him, reaching, screaming, arguing, all have intense expressions though they don't seem quite solid, their forms whipping away like cloaks on a wind
