Sketchy sketch of my latest dnd character! 🩷

She had a little too much to drink at a party and work up the next day with mysterious warlock powers — how will she maintain her studies and keep these newfound powers from her prestigious parents and university?
A pencil sketch of a original character for dungeons & dragons; a tiefling with a club tail, hooves, short horns, a wolf-cut style haircut, and lamb-like ears; the character is wearing a short skirt, leg warmers, shirt with frilly off-shoulder sleeves, and academic robes; she is making a heart sign and winking; text reads “Nettle Wyrmwort,” “wolf cut,” “academic uniform,” “frilly + cute!,” and “leg warmers”

A WIP sketchy sketch of my current DND character and obsession: Yvon Summerwood

#dndcharacter | #characterart | #sketch | #drawingpractice
A rough, messy sketch of a DND character with a bothered/annoyed expression; the character has a messy bun, pointy halfling ears, and a big scar on her face; she wears mercenary-esc gear with layers of leather armor and fabric; a dark-colored cloak adorns her shoulder and back; across the front of her body hangs a single drum; next to her are some miscellaneous gear that include a bottle of dust with a fae aesthetic and a rapier with a dragon's head and draconic aestetic; there's words written next to the sketch saying "ugh body hard," "busts are SO much easier," and "lol i forgor drum"

Welp. Here we go!

#crochetfail | #crochet | #artjournal | #warmupsketch
A page out of an art journal for 03/13; at the top is a doodle of a crochet hook with the text next to it reading "Today I finished my first crochet garment project!!;" beneath the text are three panels: the first is of myself in a happy expression saying "I finished my glove!," the second is of myself holding up my gloved hand, and the third is of myself in an embarrassed expression saying "Dang it.;" beneath the panels is the text "It did not turn out right. Jesse said it looks like an anime glove ... With fire coming out of it.;" next to this text is a panel with a generic anime character with spiky red hair in a determined expression punching with their right fist, which has the glove on it with fire coming out of the bottom and the word "POW!!" above it; in small text beneath the drawing is the words "it was kinda funny!!;" in all the glove drawings, the glove is a fairly normal wrist warmer with holes for thumbs and fingers, but the bottom of the glove funnels outward like a gauntlet or, in my husband's eyes, an anime punching glove; the cuppa counter is marked at 1 A picture of a homemade glove; the pattern utilizes star stitches for a whimsical effect; the glove is fairly normal-looking, with holes for the thumb and fingers, but it starts to funnel outward at the wrist at a slight angle that makes it look oversized A picture of a homemade glove at a different angle to emphasize the now extreme angle the pattern funnels out from the wrist

Peep this olddd doodle of Cheerio in the same sketchbook! Pretty neat to see the growth!
A portion of a sketchbook page from March of 2023 with doodles depicting the same dog as the original post; there's one more realistic sketch of the dog saying "borf;" next to the sketch are the words "Head is EXTREMELY empty.;" beneath the sketch are the words "Draw cheerio as a fire beast" in blue text; there's one simplified drawing of the dog in pencil, and there's another in colored pencil where Cheerio has horns, fire around his head and at his hips, two tails, and he's breathing fire; next to this second doodle are the words "The Fearsome Cheerio!!!;" at the bottom of the page is a doodle of a normal Cheerio with an arrow towards this alternate fire beast Cheerio, implying a transformation effect

(Pt 1);" beneath the text is a drawing of myself holding up a bottle of Clorox with a happy expression and my other hand making a peace sign; the Clorox bottle takes up majority of the page and is shiny and glittering, much like a newly acquired item in a video game; next to the drawing is the words "Item get!;" beneath an arrow pointing to the Clorox bottle are the words "Perfect for getting the mystery bathroom stains out!;" at the bottom of the page is two panels: one is of myself adjusting a facemask and taking a deep breath, and the other is of myself with both hands up in a ready position, holding a spray bottle with a determined look in the eyes saying "Let's do this!;" next to the journal page is a Sakura Pigma Micron 005 black pen

Some doodles I forgot to post!

(flagged for sliiight suggestion of nsfw things -- any other sfw artists struggle with being too flustered to make nsfw?)
An image of a sketchbook page and a notebook page overlapping; the notebook page has an unfinished sketch of a tiger in black pen (the tiger is missing his stripes); the sketchbook page has the attempt of brainstorming Valentine's day card ideas for my husband on our first Valentine's together; most of the ideas are SFW, but one idea is NSFW and scribbled over to semi-conceal it; next to the ideas is a self-portrait doodle of myself with a very flustered look on my face thinking "Ohhhh my gosh I can't believe I wrote that What is wrong with me?? I know he's my husband but like hhnn NOPE too spicy!!"

This is my husband's favorite piece I've done in the past month :) It made him smile, so I thought I'd share!

He wanted a hat with the creature on it, which can be found at GilbornsDoodles.redbubble.com

We found the card!! It's a lil beat up, but nothing a little editing couldn't fix!!

Here's an older photo for better quality :)

(also peep the hubby helping me get good photos for the shop)
