A screenshot of the animated series Arthur.

He's stuffing his face with a big slice of cake. It's used as a meme here to emphasise me wanting to eat AJ's (dovexii.bsky.social) gorgeous art.

Kaelor (right) asked Telford right after the party decided their fate in Barovia, to which he got the reply "this isn't the proper way to do it" in a playful but firm manner.

Kaelor figured out the right way eventually 🤭
They married in the epilogue years later 💛💙 #ocsky

Half-body sketch commission of a friend's and my Curse of Strahd OCs Telford and Kaelor, drawn by the wonderful @iviienn.bsky.social

The artwork shows my half-elf blood hunter Telford on the left with a soft expression and his right hand cupping Kaelor's face. His (unusually tidy) curly hair falls partly over his back and shoulder on the left side where it covers one of hos eyes always.
Wearing casual, but fairly fine clothing of which only the loose shirt with a poofy sleeve and the belt around his waist are visible in the picture.
Their foreheads are touching, both are looking at each other lovingly.
Kaelor to the right is a Shadar-kai with slightly wavy hair that's shorter on the side obscured from view. He's a bit taller than Telford, bowing his head a little for them to touch foreheads; and garbed in multiple layers of different cloths, leathers and fabric. He has his right arm around Telford’s waist, just out of view.

🌿Share your OC and a plant you associate with them🌿

Petrichor will always be associated with desert lilies for me. Much of his journey has been shaped by his wish to help the Song of the Desert regain his powers (And they might romance🤭)

Commission portrait of my OC Petrichor drawn by charii.bsky.social
He is in his human form with currant red, long hair that has several desert lilies woven in a loose braid to the side as qell as one near the crown of his head.
Petrichor has bronze skin and ocean bkue eyes, and he's wearing an expression of hopeful pondering (probably because he has a crush on his Cleric patron which he doesn't realise yet).
Part of his moss green travelling cloak are visible as well as both hands who are interlocked.

Photo of a blooming desert lily. A white flower with long, oval-shaped petals in a star like pattern of six.
There are some more out of focus in the background. The photo seems to have been taken on a clear day in the desert.

Absorbing the power of a demonic artefact meant to open Hell Gates or turn people into hellish generals to give to your patron is a totally cool weekend activity. 10/10 would recommend.

I fell in love with @prismagic.bsky.social 's original adoptable design; had to give him a new home, and he instantly charmed his whole party.

So, naturally, he deserved to have a beautiful icon drawn by @iviienn.bsky.social

And now you can get charmed by this little cheeky guy, too. ♡

Icon commission for my OC Flinny. Original design adopted from prismagic.bsky.social.

He's an Eladrin elf with vibrant red hair and deep blueish-purple eyes, of which only one is visible because he does a cheeky wink.
Wearing a straw hat with decorations on top resembling the little nets beekeepers use. There are also two bees to either sides of his face, fitting for his swarmkeeper theme.
The only clothing visible is the black collar with bronze-ish decoration going up parts of the throat and the white fur line of his otherwise black coat that has a little flower clasp.

Flinny is smiling like the little trickster he is.

You should all look at Eli's art. It's gorgeous!

And also the very first gift art of a character I ever got in a campaign I'm playing in. (right)
Drawn by @m-lang.bsky.social
I owe you everything :3

Bust sketch of my FF XIV OC Bjll (mainly the tabletop variant)

A male Viera with pricked up ears and a lot of little bits and bops in his hair. Some of the wavy strands are braided, little ribbons woven in.
His expression is fairly neutral, but he's always curiously listening and alert to his environments.

Portrait Shikishi drawing of my OC Petrichor by m-lang.bsky.social.

He's a skyfolk man with currant red hair and sky-blue eyes, bronze skin that's looking a bit lighter because of the lighting.
Only part of his hand is visible where a little, blue bird sits on one of his fingers.
The long hair is tied together by a blue band, the rest of it flowing down his back outside of what is visible in the drawing.
He's wearing cloak-like clothing, all black with a neatly tied bow to keep the top part in place.

Since I'm writing a whole original story, there's a lot of kids.

Lemme introduce my beloved protag/deuteragonist duo, Jehana (one third of triplets) & Roy, with a full name that makes the character limit shudder.
They're the kids of ancient men who have their own prequel.
Art: @charii.bsky.social

Unfortunately blurry screenshot taken from lore forge, of my OC Roy who has five first names and two last names for world-building reasons.
Started out as a funny haha what if and became a serious element in their culture.

His picture on the character description is one half of an illustration commissioned from @charii.bsky.social

The text reads his full name, which is: Valroy Iuwer Màirim Ellesser Fhan Florion Robur

Ain't no way the character limit would allow that lol.
He's got slightly tan skin, a youthful face for him being in the second half of his twenties. Grey-blue eyes and shoulder-length wavy hair that's open and flowing freely for once.
He's also not wearing a shirt. For reasons. 8D

He's perpetually tired of literally everything, but getting violent every now and then lifts his spirits, so that expression fits lol.

Petrichor without a doubt.

There's a reason why he's called "dad" by his companions (even though they're all around the same age)
No one gets left behind. Me, knowing his flaws obviously, I'd still don't hesitate to lay my life in his hands.

Halfbody commission of my Skyfolk druid Petrichor.
(Homebrew race derived from dragons, who can turn into birds at will and have bird wings in their humanoid form)

He's got a bronze skin tone, and a hopeful expression, with a small smile on his lips while concentrating with closed eyes. The object of his focus is the golden feather clasped in his hands that are folded around it like praying. It gives off a pulse of golden light that resonates in shrouds around his head.

Since becoming a cleric as second class due to gaining the favour of his favourite God, the dragon Chrome, Petrichor now wears plate armour underneath his mossy green cardigan-like jacket. Which is adorned with patterns on shoulders and sleeves reminiscent of vines forming petals.

His long druid skirt has the same mossy green colour and a leather belt with a component satchel (not visible in the picture) at the back, three pebbles with edged-in star constellations strung up in the front.
Also holding a ritual dagger to carve roots and some celestial-looking silver ornaments on a chain crossing the leather.

His currant red long hair is flowing wildly around him.

Whoaaaa your artstyle is incredible! Dark fantasy mmmmh 😌😌
(The drake/dragon sketches were also very exciting to see 👀)

Humbly offering Helian, my literal fallen angel Warlock (old/the first vampire patron)

Character sheet art by: @maasyme.bsky.social

Portrait art by: @zeroperks.bsky.social

Character reference sheet of Helian, my pnp OC drawn by maasyme.bsky.social

There's two versions.

Right: casual/travelling clothes--black boots with golden/yellow zippers, but also lace-like decorative strings around the bottom part. The same golden/yellow also decorates the tips of his boots.
Underneath a black, wrapped cloak, he wears a jumpsuit-inspired green piece made of comfortable, yet not overly expensive material.

Left: his usual outfit when not travelling far distances. A steampunk, victorian era inspired outfit. Three piece set of cream-coloured, ornate shirt with multiple frills at the shoulders and pearls woven in, a waistcoat-type vest and slack pants. The vest with beautiful golden buttons, and pants both have the same stripes in two shades of brown.
This is something his patron would have provided, as the fabrics are all expensive and ornate in several places. Like gold-lined pockets on the vest and a silk cravat, stamped with patterns.

Helian himself has brown skin, very bright eyes that have a golden gleam, same as parts of his otherwise black hair with currant-red streaks. The gleam represents his last remnants of divinity.

He also uses a cane that has a stylised type of wings worked in as decoration on the black wood. All decorations are golden on the cane.

Portrait commission of my pnp character Helian drawn by zeroperks.bsky.social

He has brown skin and golden, but very bright eyes that, alongside the golden gleam in his otherwise black, current red streaked hair, hints at the divinity he once had; because he is an outcast from the heavens, now mortal.
There's a long scar across the left eye, and some visible freckles especially around the cheekbones and nose.
Some of his long hair is braided, one bigger part bunched together at the temple to keep it out of his face. Held together with ornamented clips resembling black and red currants.
His clothes are inspired by steam punk and victorian era elements with a white cravat over a cream-coloured frilly, ornate shirt. Topped by a waistcoat-type vest, sporting stripes in a darker and lighter brown tone.
His expression is somewhat sceptical, yet graceful.

Kaelor & Telford were whisked to Barovia, died in the Prologue alongside our 3rd party member & thus tied to the realm

They were only supposed to have 1time angry, stress relief sex. Instead derailed plans & fell stupidly in love taking a long time to realise tho

Art by @charii.bsky.social

OCs from our Curse of Strahd campaign drawn in a chibi style by charii.bsky.social.

Left is Kaelor, my friend's Shadar-kai Tempest Cleric. He's got dark blue-greyish skin and ink black wavy hair that's longer on one side and short on the other. Instead of heavy armour, he wears countless layers of leathers and fabric, mostly in mixed colours like dark green, blues and browns with a long grayish black coat.

One of his arms touches Telford, my half-elf Blood Hunter who is perpetually tired and very pale all the time. There's golden blonde wavy curls falling around his face, and he's looking at Kaelor holding a book in his hands with a rare :0-face expression. He's got a little stubbly moustache and chin stubble as well, both the same golden blonde as his hair.

Both blush because they're stupidly in love with each other.
