A tiny bit of personal art between commissions featuring my alien troublemaker from a personal project I've dubbed Spiderlily!

- > #art #chibi #digitalart #oc #ocart #ocsky #scifioc #spiderlily < -

A digital illustration done in a lined style depicting a blue alien with a chameleon's tail, octopus-like eyes, and spots across their skin. They have a mischievous smile and are holding a bomb in each hand. They have brown scruffy hair and wear a pair of goggles on their head. Their outfit is a white button up shirt covered by a red sweater vest, a pair of grey pants with a red lanyard peeking out of the pocket, and a pair of white and red shoes resembling Converse.

hi, i'm mal and i love drawing my dnd characters (and, really, any characters with horns or glasses)! i've been a freelance artist for over a decade and procreate is my current weapon of choice

(i'd tag my artist pals, but i think my friend jay already got most of them that have bsky!)

A digital piece of artwork done in a lineless style depicting a human man with shoulder length red hair, glasses, freckled cheeks, and an x-shaped scar over his face kissing an orange tiefling with red hair and a surprised expression wearing a teal jacket and goggles around their neck. I'm so mentally ill about these two.

A digital illustration done in a lineless style depicting a white haired woman with wooden antlers, silver glasses, and an intense brown-eyed stare glaring in the viewer's direction. She wears a white blouse and a mossy green cape.

A digital illustration done in a lined chibi style depicting an alien with blue skin and black eyes standing while holding a bomb in each hand. They have a curled tail similar to a chameleon's and wear a pair of goggles on their head. They have brown scruffy hair worn in a mullet and wear a red sweater vest with a white button up shirt, grey jeans, and a pair of red and white shoes. The expression on their face is mischievous.

A digital illustration done in a lineless style depicting a scene in which an orange tiefling with curly red hair, a pair of shaded goggles, and a single wing stands in front of a broken screen and an intact screen placed on either wall. The screen behind them shows the figure of a human man with glasses obscuring his eyes. He has freckles and wears a red sweater vest. He is gesturing towards them through the screen with a smug look on his face while they grit their teeth and furrow their brow. The subtitle reads, "You're like...my nemesis. I can say that, right?"

my alt text disappeared on me whoops :') here's the image again with the text

A cream colored firbolg man with broad shoulders and a chuby form. He has wavy blonde hair and broad horns capped with iron spikes. A large nosering hangs in front of his mouth. He's holding a pair of climbing tools with sharp hooked blades and is wearing various shades of grey-blue with brown and plaid accents.

- > #art #wip #adopts #fairy #fae < -

A sketch of an androgenous fairy in an a-pose. He has locs put up into a bun and small twigs and leaves coming out of his hair. He wears a pair of round spectacles with a chain. He is wearing a sweater vest, long pants, and lots of necklaces, rings, and bracelets. His wings are shaped like dragonfly wings and have small drops of dew on them.

A sketch of a masculine presenting fairy with princely garb including pants, boots, a jacket, and a cloak all with decorative filigree. He has a sour, half-lidded look in his face and his hair is curled and falls past his shoulders. He wears a drown of dripping ink-like fungus and has butterfly wings tucked behind his back. His left wing is torn.

A sketch of a feminine-presenting fairy with a mischievous expression. She has large luna moth wings behind her back and moth-like antennae. Her hair is short and curly and she wears a tunic made of pond grasses and a pair of loose pants. Her arms and feet bear wraps and she has rapier strapped to her back.

if you see this, repost with your oc smiling!!

i have been thinking about my lil wizard lmao (hes probably my only chara i draw smiling at the same rate he actually smiles in campaign--)

A half-orc man with messy black hair and tusks and human girl with freckles and tied-up brown hair stand next to each other platonically holding hands. They are both smiling and wearing fancy outfits with green color schemes. The girl has an ornate white and gold prosthetic leg.

A half-orc man with messy black hair smiles with his eyes closed while holding up a sprig of holly.

A half-orc man with tusks and messy black hair looks toward a red spark in his hands. He is dressed in the same outfit as Howl from Howl's Moving Castle. (A pink and blue coat draped off his shoulders, a white blouse, and a pair of grey pants.)

A half-orc man with messy black hair and tusks looks towards the viewer and smiles. On his hand, his familiar (a red-winged blackbird) sits. He is wearing red robes and the background has several different red strings tied into knots.

a sketch page commission i completed for redwinderbelt on Discord a while back! absolutely adore how this one turned out, especially the lineless segment ;w;

- > #art #oc #commission #commissionedart #artsky #dnd #dndart #sketchpage < -

Several drawings of an elven woman with blue skin, white hair tied into a ponytail, and wispy white tattoos in a sheer dress and an imposing half-elf man with a scarred face, black tussled hair, a golden crown of skeletal arms, and a gold and black outfit. To the top left, their heads have been drawn as chibis over a conversation [ELF: Now remember, I'm the brains and you're th-; HALF-ELF: Br-; ELF: That's right! Not the brains.]. To the bottom left, the two are drawn next to each other as chibis. The elf wears a frustrated expression while touching her temple and the half-elf grins mischievously with his hands behind his back. To the right, the half-elf is drawn behind the elf, holding her waist as she touches the side of his head. They look at one another, the elf with a smirk and the half-elf with a determined expression.
