To finish off the tour of the @haplessheroes.bsky.social crew, here's the whole gang together along with the process of taking them from vague silhouettes to finished characters!

I had a ton of fun bringing this Spelljammer crew to life, and it's got to be the weirdest D&D party I've drawn to date!
Illustration of a group of seven D&D characters, which include a giff (hippo-man) in a tracksuit, a minotaur with a symbiote, a plasmoid dressed like a fairy godmother, a rhinoceros beetle thri kreen in business casual, a harengon (rabbit-man) 80s hacker, a dohwar (penguin-man) in a duster and leopard-print speedo, and a hadozee (capuchin monkey-man) in mechanic's overalls with a giant wrench turned into a raygun. Black and white version of the final illustration. Rough sketch of the final illustration in digital red pencil. Roughly-sketched silhouettes of the characters to help me nail down basic poses and composition.

Color illustration of an anthropomorphic Hercules beetle, dressed in business casual and carrying a red mask, a crossword book, and a piece of rusty rebar bent roughly into the shape of a folding chair. Black and white version of the final illustration. Rough sketch in red of the final character. He is noticeably less bulky in this early iteration.

Continuing the tour of the @haplessheroes.bsky.social crew... this is Choom De'Loom, hadozee artificer and leader of the "Normalize Uppies" movement. Played by Sebastian aka Sebman.
Illustration of a hadozee (a monkey-like D&D species) dressed in mechanic's overalls and a belt full of tools. He has a wrench almost as tall as he is that has been modified into a raygun using scrap metal and tubes. Black and white version of the final drawing. Rough sketch in red of the character. Notably, the wrench is just a big wrench, no raygun parts yet.

Another detail @skippinginfinity.bsky.social added that we're obsessed with is the "NORMALIZE UPPIES" patch on Choom's jumpsuit.

Are hashtags still a thing? Can we get #normalizeuppies trending? 😄
