Sick day = OC Art day
Riswynn was my first ever D&D 5e character and that chaotic little pirate monk still occupies so much of my brain space.

I am only now realizing my game with Tannis (former Tamsin) has been going on for almost five years and how much my art has changed in that time.
I still adore my now-slightly-less-neurotic werewolf

Ah yes my favorite game: is it hormones or just old fashioned depression with a touch of the tism? Either way binging the new gay hockey show can only help

Thanks @piezer0.bsky.social for giving me a new account to follow!
I’ll tag @eyrisdm.bsky.social and offer up my surly blacksmith snow-orc Siegfried! He’s a frosty sort but would turn the world over for his young ward. Including reluctantly wearing festive gear, only after loudly protesting first

👁️ The Briar Halo 👁️

#DnDart | #TTRPGart | #OCsky | #DnDOC | #Erhan
Erhan stands with his eyes closed holding a golden crown with glowing gemstones. He has black hair with white streaks and blackened veins around one of his eyes and down his neck. He wears a silver breastplate with rabbit imagery on it and a white cloak. Behind him are a set of gnarled dead trees and a halo of brambles with eyes impaled on a few of the spikes.

Congrats on your milestone!

I haven’t done spicy art in a minute but I saw the bells and couldn’t resist throwing it on my own jingly menace of a jester.

Congrats on 2K!!

I saw the green and knew I had to do it with my tiefling, Thrax-

Happy Thraxgiving ✨

#DnDoc | #TTRPGart | #OCsky | #Thrax | #Tiefling
Thrax stands in a very revealing, green Christmas outfit comprised of green straps, red ribbons, bells, and a green set of underwear. He has his arms up and is looking down at the viewer with his tongue out. His horns wind around his head and pierce his ears and his long tail winds around the frame. There is XOXO and Happy Holidays text across the piece and it is framed with white and some frills in the corners.

Raking leaves and putting them in plastic bags is bad for the environment- leaves are biodegradable. Just brush them off the sidewalk or leave them where they are

Fireflies/lightning bugs need leaf litter to populate

Hey~ Hi! It's my birthday 🍰 So, if you would be so kind 👉👈and maybe repost my art I would be ever so grateful!

I included a WIP that's nearly done!

And if you're super-extra-nice please check out Grey Moon Tabletop, and support us (even for free) so I can be an artist for the rest of my life!
Art for Grey Moon Tabletop. Two men standing in front of a tabletop map of a chateau. One wears a dress shirt and suspenders while the other wears a patterned button-up vest and a cravat. https://www.patreon.com/c/GreyMoonTabletop/about A personal piece with hands of fire and a crow crowned by a red moon. A personal piece of my character Vasiariah (and Dantalion) in a winter forest haunted by a wendigo. Revamped from 2021. A new work in progress of my character Claudia Aurelia and her stylized fox familiar in a field of flowers with yellow clouds behind her, and a very unfinished spiderweb threaded through a needle that she holds. The spider is in the foreground on the right.

A man with brown curly hair and white streaks with a wide brim hat leans against a barrel on a boat. There are feathers in his hat and a white scarf around his neck. He wears a tattered brown overcoat and a blue vest as well as white striped pants. He is smiling at the camera and holding a playing card in his hand.

Another day another art I never posted cause my adhd extends to social media as well.

This tarot I did for @eyrisdm.bsky.social of Langa, a water fey hunting dystopian sewers for an errant kraken. I love making tarot especially for characters I know well and can tweak the card symbolism to fit
