Both of Iolite's parents now have designs!
Eilaro Aleanaer, moon elf and high ranking member of the church of Selûne
~and~
August Cutter, professional semi-retired human thief.
To call them civil exes implies they ever dated or talk more than every seven years lmao
#dndoc #OCsky #dndrogue #dndelf
A tall pale-skinned moon elf with long straight white hair, with two braids tucked behind her ears, icy blue eyes and a neutral expression. She wears a long shimmery blue shoulder less dress with puffed sleeves and silver accenting, with a repeated water-and-moon themed family crest repeated throughout. The small bio besides her reads "Eilaro Aleanaer, Noble Moon Elf, she/her, 329 years old" August Cutter, a human rogue with graying dark brown hair tied back in a small ponytail, a small scar on their once-broken nose, light graying stubble across their jaw, and light brown eyes. They wear an entirely black outtfit made up of leather belts for holding small pouches across their waist and chest, and their thieves' tools stored around their leg, with small silver studs and buckles throughout. They're winking at the viewer, dangling a silver chained sapphire pendant from their finger, whilst holding a small brown ouch of coins in their other hand. Eilaro and August next to each other for height comparison (she's notably taller than them, and they aren't a particular short person). August also has their hood up.

Val in a cat onesie sitting on the sofa with her hand in a bag of family sized Maltesers, watching TV. The caption next to her specifies "binge watching Take Me Out". Beside her, a tall lanky man in a frig onesie (Jakey) curls up to her, looking at her with big shiny eyes whilst blushing lightly and making the :3 face. Sound from the TV says "no likey, no lighty!"

BEHOLD....MY STUFF! QRP with yours!
A young girl with cracked porcelain skin and solid white eyes stares at the viewer, fists clenched at her sides, surrounded by deep green lighting and dark shadow. Candygore of a young woman with curly mint hair resting her detached head on her detached hands, blue syrupy goop dripping from the neck and wrists. The same blue gloop spills from her eyes, but she smiles brightly at the viewer, clearly in no pain or distress. Monochrome piece (white lineart on black background) of a door Mimic's mouth, it's tongue writhing and dripping with spit. One of its teeth is slashed from its mouth, spilling stark red blood against the black background. A young half elf woman in a fine formal purple and black dress is trapped within a box, looking up in fear and concern. The box is help in the clawed hands of Strahd von Zarovich, whose face is shrouded in shadow but his smirk is visible.

WHOOOOO dress up time!!
May I submit some previous ones: Boundless (a tiefling wizard I'm yet to play; a sweet boy who wants to learn and make friends and loves his seaside hometown), and Val, the Final Girl who keeps (unwittingly) winning the hearts of slashers! I think she fits the season lol

A perfect prompt combo for my girl Penny Curls!!
#goretober2025 #CandyWitchSaga #candygore
A young woman with mint coloured curly hair, decorated with pink and white candies, rests her detached head on her detached hands, blue syrupy blood dripping from the neck and wrists, the same substance spilling from her eyes. She smiles at the viewer, unpainted and unphased.

Goretober Prompt 23: Body Horror
[eyestrain warning]

#goretober2025
A person on their knees, head fully leaned back, as a gaping black mouth opens up within their neck, a slimy black tongue protruding out of it. Large, inky black arms burst from their elbow point, the extra set of limbs clawing towards the viewer. Red eyes sprout from the lower arms and shoulders.

Goretober Prompt 22: Beaten/Bruised
Even if he can't win, Ismark puts up one hell of a fight
#goretober2025 #ismarkkolyanovich #curseofstrahd
Monochrome art of Ismark against a pitch black background, on his knees, his head yanked up by the hair. He's bruised and bloodied across his face, torso, and knuckles. He has a swollen black eye, bloody scratches, his nose and mouth bleeding, and he looks angrily up at his attacker/opponent, snarling and shaking with anger.

I wasn't actually GOING to make designs for Myrtle and Freek because we were just gonna drop em at St. Andral's and maybe see them once more, if that. Yet here I am, months later, because look at them!!! Little babies!!!
#curseofstrahd #curseofstrahdnpcs
Myrtle, a young girl with dark hair and eyes, and Freek, a young boy with blond hair and grey eyes. They both wear tattered clothes in various shades of greyish brown. They both look sad and worried.

You should probably get that checked out
#goretober2025
Monochrome sketch of a person's neck and shoulder, coated in dripping black ooze and cracks along the skin. Their face isn't viable, aside from the grimacing corner of their mouth and a tear falling down their cheek.

Goretober Prompt 18: Stitches
A copy of a copy, crafted by holy hands as a devil's unholy gift
#goretober2025 #vasilka #curseofstrahdspoilers
Bust shot of Vasilka, cast in shadow but with a bright halo of light behind her. Disembodied hands sew up her neck and right shoulder, her chest still flayed open to reveal bloodied ribs. Blood drips from various parts of her stitches and her right eye. She stares dead ahead, lifeless and expressionless. A gold frame surrounds the piece.

Goretober Prompts 14 & 15: Accident and Exposed Brain
They swear they didn't mean to...!
#goretober2025
A staircase in white lineart against a black background, one step splattered with blood. Two squares, one in the top right and one in the bottom left, are layered over it. The top image shows a figure with wide eyes and their mouth covered in horror, looking downwards. The bottom image shows a figure on the ground, facedown, the corner of their head split open and showing their brain. Blood pools from the wound.

Goretober Prompt 13: Poisoned
Depicting Florence's final birthday
#goretober2025 #SmolsDemonverse
Headshot drawing of a woman with darker wavy shoulder length hair, reaching up to her mouth. Her mouth is open, her tongue sticking out, as she chokes out a bright pink poisonous substance that stains her mouth and fingers. Her eyes are wide open with fear and shock. Her neck and face are purplish from choking.

Goretober Prompt 12: Gut Spill
Oh Andi, how does this sort of thing keep happening to you...?
#goretober2025
Sketch of Andi, my friend's DnD bard PC, standing upright, holding his innards as they spill out. He looks down with a blank expression, saying only "Oh." in reaction.

Goretober Prompt 11: Extra Limbs
Decided the Broken Doll deserves some extra arms, as a treat (and an outfit to actually make use of them)
#goretober2025 #sona
A porcelain doll woman steps away from the viewer, looking over her shoulder at them. Her expression is sad, and dark makeup runs down her face. Her midsection is turned so her extra limbs are clearly posed without getting in the way of her 'main' arms. Her translucent skirt flows behind her. All of her limbs are cracked, with dark liquid oozing and dripping from all of them.

OMG thanks for the art share! Been a while since I joined because I always find it so hard to pick my best works lol.
I've been very DnD, specifically Curse of Strahd-brained recently and it's really reflected in my works >w<
(mild blood warning but, yknow, vampires)
A black and white comic. The two panels show two characters, Catarina and Andi, looking to opposite sides with eyes wide with fear/shock. A trail of red blood drips from the top of the screen. The bottom of the screen shows Strahd's hand, seemingly having burst through something, drenched in blood and scratching down the back of Catarina's now bloodstained nun habit. A black silhouette of Strahd, back pierced by arrows, against a red background. Small lines of blood drip from his nose, mouth, and back. Iolite (my PC) in her fine evening dress trapped in a metaphorical treasure chest in Strahd's clutches. She looks up with worry, whilst his eyes are obscured but his smirk is visible from the shadows. My take on the designs for the Brides of Strahd. From left to right: Volenta Popofsky, Anastrasya Karelova, Ludmilla Vilisevic, and Escher Belasco.

Goretober Prompt 10: Burn
Inspired by a vampire nest the party had to sort out. The Morninglord's mercy didn't feel particularly merciful
#goretober2025 #curseofstrahd
Black and white sketch of three vampire spawn screaming as they're burnt by the sun. Smoke comes off their bodies where their exposed skin turns red with burns.

Goretober Prompt 9: Arrows/Gunshot
Which option was I supposed to take?
#goretober2025 #strahdvonzarovich
Black silhouette of Strahd against a red background, with arrows piercing his back. Thin trails of blood drip from his nose, mouth, and back.

Goretober Prompt 8: Asphyxiation
That doesn't seem good...
#goretober2025
Sketch of a neck being choked out by rope, the skin turning blue. A pair of shaking hands reach up to try and stop this.

Goretober Prompt 7: Teeth
Featuring the unfortunate Mimic we found in the Death House
#goretober2025 #dndmimic
An open door mimic mouth, seemingly screeching as one of its teeth is sliced out, leaving a trail of blood from the gum.

Goretober Prompt 5: Bloodbath
Funniest trick in Ravenloft
#goretober2025 #ravenloft
Drawing of a person so utterly drenched in blood it's impossible to make out any details on them, except the comically wide eyes. They stand in shock, shaking slightly, next to a bloodstained bath.

Goretober Prompt 4: Crystals

#goretober2025

Goretober Prompt 3: Beast
Keeping it simple with some classic bloody werewolf action
#goretober2025
Scratchy white sketch of a snarling werewolf face in complete darkness, with only the outline of the ears, jaw, and eyes visible. The teeth are soaked in blood, which drips from the mouth
