Final #Smaugust batch woo! 🫀
More scaley, spiky friends. I had plates and frills on my mind.
Also, as it shows - I love the old Silver D&D Dragon design ✨

Photo of a sketchbook with a drawing of a dragon's portrait. It's inspired by 3e D&D Silver Dragons. Biiiig frillage.

Photo of a sketchbook with a drawing of a dragon. It's prancing like a little bird. Maybe it has a sparrow down the family tree line!

#Smaugust week 3 🫀
Favourites from past 7 days! Lots of aquatic influences this time - Galapagos marine iguana and Lionfish.

Photo of a sketchbook with a drawing of a dragon portrait. He has lots of cheek spikes, frills and decent horns. Prime specimen.

Photo of a sketchbook with a drawing of a dragon portrait. It's inspired by lionfish - has tons of striped fins. It has two forward facing spikes in the front of the face, big teeth and a pair of backwards facing horns as well.

Photo of a sketchbook with a drawing of a dragon portrait. It's inspired b Marine Galapagos Iguana. Lovely, short face. Tons of spikes and scutes. Very friendly. Would love to eat your salad.

Photo of a sketchbook with a drawing of a dragon. It's a very slender, spindly fella. Serpentine. Mama was a viper. Maybe.

#Smaugust week 2 🫀
Whole bunch of favourites from past 7 days. Definitely very much in mood for scales, spikes and strong necks.

Of all the Gem Dragon illustrations I did for Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons this weirdly proved the most challenging. I pushed myself to paint a type of scales I rarely do here.

This is dragon 3 of 5

Next in the Gem Dragon illustrations I did for Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons is my favorite. You may have noticed the somewhat controversial design feature but instead of cowardly ‘fixing’ it, I leaned all the way in.

This is dragon 2 of 5

Topaz dragon illustration design sheet I painted. I know the wings are going to take some adjusting to so bear these words in mind: it also has floating crystals; it’s a magic man.

I got the chance to do updated artwork of the Gem Dragons for the new book: Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons. I worked waaay too hard on these, I'm extremely proud of them.

This is dragon 1 of 5

Amethyst dragon design sheet I did. I spent way too long working on that faux bestiary page layout, please appreciate it.

With all the Gem Dragons I did for Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons, the crystal dragon probably had the strongest foundation to build from so I really made a meal out of painting the skin folds.

This is dragon 4 of 5

Design sheet for the Crystal dragon. It had two tails and saggy skin, mama mia what more could a guy want 😍

Finally the last of my dragons for Dungeons & Dragons The Book of Dragons. Unlike the others who are merely decorated with crystals, this boy is crystal to the bone; like a gummy worm made of rock.

This is dragon 5 of 5

Design sheet illustration of a sapphire dragon, a dragon made of sapphires I guess

i feel like no amount of labeling and marie kondo-ing their cottage would stop Essek and Caleb's dinner table from becoming a research table as well

#shadowgast #criticalrolefanart

digital fanart of Caleb Widogast and Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, having dinner and a heated discussion at the same time.

Caleb is a light-skinned thin human in his forties; his dark red hair is swept back, and there is a touch of white at his temples and in his full beard. he is dressed in a white shirt, the embroidered collar open and the sleeves rolled up to reveal the regularly spaced long-healed scars on his forearms.

Essek is a young-looking slender drow with dusky lavender skin and shoulder-length white hair, which is curled in a swirl and pinned back neatly. he is dressed in a low-necked black shirt and a dark blue silk robe over it.

they're sitting at a dinner table, cluttered with both food and various books and scrolls. there is a woven bread basket, a peach and a plum lying next to each other, an inkwell with a quill, an open book next to Essek. Caleb is rubbing his jaw pensively with his right hand, pointing at something on a sheet of parchment in front of him with his left index finger, having pushed his half-finished bowl of soup to the side. Essek is sitting close to Caleb, holding a spoon in his left hand over his own bowl of soup and about to bite down on a slice of crusty bread in his right. he is looking at whatever Caleb is pointing at, leaning forward and listening intently. there is a calico cat in his lap, her mischievous face just visible over the edge of the table, and she is trying to swipe some bread crumbs closer to herself with a paw.

the color scheme is warm and bright, as if the room is lit with afternoon sun, and the semi-realistic rendering is done with wide textured strokes.
