Futzing around with character looks as I dive back into drawing Elder & Ritchley. I am happy anytime Elder looks more like a mean little gremlin and less like a heroic anime protag.

Sketchy portrait drawings of Elder, a woman with short white hair and pointed ears. She is making a variety of expressions, from smiley to smirking to sad to exasperated.

A drawing of Ritchley, a bronze-skinned woman with long brown hair. She is wearing a blue-white bikini. She's sweating and her skin is glistening. Hot. ☀️ A drawing of Ritchley, a bronze-skinned woman with dark brown hair and a visible tooth gap. She is wearing a clingy blue-white slip dress with thigh-high slits. She is leaning back on one hand and pushing her hair off her forehead with the other hand, while giving a cheeky look to the viewer.

One thing about me playing D&D is that I MUST create my character art upfront even if the game dies. Anyway meet Tilly Lane, baby Divination Wizard, secret Changling con artist. Made money pretending to see the future til they hit level 2 and started doing it for real.

Drawing of a female-presenting figure with light tan skin, shoulder-length curly hair, purple eyes and large round glasses. She is wearing a loose white t-shirt; high-waisted overly large, belted tan trousers; a beige waist sash; brown ankle boots; and a knee-length gauzy indigo robe which is dotted with white spots, looking like a night sky. She is heavily accessorized, with necklaces including a large crystal on a chain, numerous bracelets, and a ring on nearly every finger. She is holding up The Magician tarot card.

Escapism feels so weird right now. Part of me wants to get away. Part of me wants to FIGHT.

Drawing of a scene with two women on a rooftop, looking out over a city. The first woman, Ritchley, has brown skin and long brown hair, trailing to her waist, with one side of her head shaved. She wears a leather biker jacket over a white turtleneck, loose cuffed jeans, and tall heeled square-toed boots. The other woman, Elder, has purple skin, white hair and pointed ears. She faces away from us, looking over the city. She is wearing a loose red sweatshirt over a white racerback tanktop, jeans, and white high-top sneakers. In the background we see the tops of high rise buildings stretching to the horizon. The entire scene is rendered in shades of cyan, pink and purple, giving it a dreamy, surreal look.

Can't wait to continue these idiots' story. The dynamic between a necromancer and the ghost who's stuck haunting/trolling her is just. Endlessly amusing to me.

A comic. Elder, A dark purple elf woman with white hair, is waving her hands around into ridiculous finger poses. Glowing turquoise thread hangs between her fingers, cat's cradle-style. In the final panel a translucent teal woman (Ritchley), walks past, holding a coffee mug in one hand, looking over her shoulder at Elder. Ritchley says, "Practicing your CoOoOl gang signs?" Elder, looking brattily affronted, throws her hands up and shouts, "It's MAGIC!!!"

Deeeeetails. I actually did my best to accurately depict Yasha's ridiculous leather-and-mesh-bodysuit-layered-on-another-leather-and-mesh-bodysuit armor this time.
Close up look on an image of Yasha, showing off details on her face, including hair braid, armor details, and tears 😭 Closer-cropped detail shot of Yasha's armored torso, showing off the layered strappy armor she wears, plus chains and hair details Close-cropped detail shot of Yasha's shoulder, showing her fur armor poof and the flames burning behind her.

I did a little redraw of this Yasha image from 2019. Idk I guess the idea of her standing in a burning hellscape while being forced to experience tragedies beyond her control resonated??

2019 version: Yasha Nydoorin, Aasimar Barbarian, stands bruised and dirt-smeared. She wears dark leather strappy armour, a sharp barbed piercing, and her long hair is dark at the roots but white at the tips. She is in a dark void of a place, with the sparks of a fire flying up behind her, and she is back- and side-lit with a red glow. She has a serious, angry expression on, but she is crying, and her tears are streaking through the blue facepaint that covers the top half of her face. 2025 version: Yasha Nydoorin, Aasimar Barbarian, stands bruised and dirt-smeared. She wears dark leather strappy and mesh armour, a sharp barbed piercing, and her long hair is dark at the roots but white at the tips. In this version she is also wearing elbow-length gauntlets, and a heavy cloak with fur at the collar, held to her with a leather belt and a metal chain ending in the symbol of the Stormlord. She is in a dark void of a place, where we can see flames raging behind her, and she is back- and side-lit with a red glow. She has a serious, angry expression on, but she is crying, and her tears are streaking through the blue facepaint that covers the top half of her face.

Do you ever think about what happens to the old D&D characters from campaigns you never finished? Sometimes I picture them all hanging out at a tavern together or something.

A young half-elf woman sits on the grassy ground. She has tan skin and shoulder-length brown hair; she wears a loose-fitting, short-cropped shirt with baggy sleeves tucked into gauntlets, a series of necklaced beaded with teeth and bone, paneled brown leather pants and Peter Pan-style booties. Beside her, a sword with a horse head design on the end of the hilt sits, stabbed into the soft ground. It is pouring rain but the woman seems unbothered—in fact her eyes are glowing blue as the sword next to her sparkles with electricity, a sign that lightning will soon strike.

This Valentine's Day, please enjoy these little details…
Rook is leaning close into Emmrich's personal bubble. Her eyes, staring lovingly at him, are lit with pink heart-shaped highlights.

So proud of my girls, getting some smooches and becoming vessels for dark, world-ending sources of evil power.

I still think about #ACOFAF every now and then. Peak weird Fey shit, absolutely wonderful. A giant owlbear in a gown chatting with a tiny moth woman. Plug it into my veins

Every time they do a new State of the Role I keep looking out for Mighty Nein updates. Maybe just a lil animated Frumpkin! Pretty please! 🥺 🐈

When they announced the series I tried my hand at simplifying the character designs into Titmouse style. Here's a Yasha!

I actually coloured this one two different ways! I first did a version that was a lot more soft and painterly, which was fun but I didn't feel like it scanned as well! I still like them both but I couldn't choose. Anyway #art amirite??

Emmrich Volkarin, handsome gentleman necromancer, sits on his desk in the Lighthouse laboratory, writing with a quill by green-flame candlelight. He is looking up, startled, as Rook, a female elf with wild red hair and facial tattoos, is lying across his desk and peering into his face. She has a small smile on her face and hearts in her eyes.

Needed to swap one of my stickers and decided I wanted to keep this sentiment closer at hand
Photo of a corner of a silver laptop computer, with a sticker affixed to it. The sticker is an illustration of a section of tree trunk, and on it is written "JUST LOG OFF".

This is how I picture it every time Rook barges into the laboratory at the Lighthouse to check if Emmrich has any new banter

Having Manfred around is a bit like having a dog around. Easy to blame for missing food, weird smells, chewed up books…

Rook (a female elf with fluffy, curly hair and elaborate wing tattoos down her arm) leans over Emmrich (a very dapper necromancer wearing a suit vest, a multitude of rings and bracelets, and a single glove). He is looking up at her from the paper he is reading. She rests a cheek on the top of his head. Both are smiling. Speech bubbles show their conversation: ROOK: Darling, Manfred ate your last scone. EMMRICH: Oh? ROOK: Definitely not me. EMMRICH: Ah. ROOK: He doesn't like the raisin ones. EMMRICH: Of course, my dear.

As this year draws to a close, I remain proud of this one particular queer accomplishment
Screenshot of Brom's "liked songs" tab on Spotify, showing that "Femininomenon" was added as a single on May 4, 2023, four months before "Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess" came out.
