Art of two figures holding each other. The taller figure holds the shorter one's head against their neck smiling. The shorter one braces their hands on the taller one's waist. The areas where the two make contact are coloured yellow and orange while the rest of their bodies are blue. Behind them is a wavy light blue ribbon and sketches of flowers to the left and right of them.

wip of my next dnd comic! my character may or may not have caused a couple of murders with some enchantment magic 😬
it was in the interest of revenge so that makes it ok right? 🥺😜
#art #dndart
🥭🌠

A page with 2 rows of 2 panels that take up two thirds of the page.
the first 2 panels each have half a face and they are lined up to make a split screen effect. The first face is a woman with bangs, long straight hair, rectangular glasses and her pupil is shaped like a goat's. The second face is a bald man with a big beard and mustache.

The last third of the page has no panels but there is a baby with tony horns sleeping on a mound of dirt. Around the mound are vague lines that imply foliage.

just completed my first mini comic thing! made it for my DM about an NPC we both looove. A little context: he's a vampire 🩸 (but it's a secret shhh) who has been very charming and helpful to our group. Unfortunately he also has some very suspicious ties to our current mystery 🤔😬

#art #dndart

A comic page with a white to black gradient from top to bottom titled "Friend or Foe".

1. Close up of cat's eye
2. (Overlaps with the first panel.) Bottom half of Bradley's face and shoulders, in a suit and smiling. Musical notes and red rose petals around him.
3. Bradley's hand holds out a book titled Bevitori de Sangue written in red. Four red blood droplets drawn on he cover and a red ribbon bookmark dangling from the book.
4. A top down view of a table with 2 pieces of paper, Bevitori de Sangue, an envelope, a crude drawing of a skull, an inkwell and pen, and red ring stain.
5: (Magnification panel of one of the papers) Some text on this letter is unreadable but in red are the phrases 'bring an end to your', 'best not see you at the gala', 'be warned, Canoh', 'betrayal and heartache'.
6: (Magnification panel of the envelope) In red is the name Viscount Xavier Thamongast.
7: A wine glass with a red liquid
At the bottom in the black background, reflective cat eyes and shadowed nose
