✨ Artists, quote with long hair! ✨

Lorafiel Willowrest (NPC in my #dnd campaign), as songstress and as senator. #dndart #oc #ocsky #dndoc #ocart
Side by side portraits of a woman. In one, she smiles warmly and her long voluptuous hair cascades down her side. She wears a playful blue dress, several necklaces, and holds a sheet of music. In the other, she has a somber look on her face. Her hair is neatly tied back, she wears a high-collared purple and gold robe and holds a sheet of paper with a signature on the bottom.

Thanks for hosting! Hobbyist artist here! I sometimes do bg3 fanart, but lately have been obseessed with recreating characters and scenes from my current #dnd campaign. Here are some of my faves. The #drow woman is my beloved OC, Edosia. #dndart #ocsky #oc #dndoc
Edosia falls downward from a space of light, tinged orange and yellow, to a dark abyss tinged with deep purple and teal. She reaches one hand up toward the light as she falls, her hair and cloak wrapping around her. A dynamic scene from a local tavern. The bartender, a drow man, throws out a lanky elven man, who looks alarmed and holds his hands and lute up in a defensive posture. At the bar, Edosia looks longingly at the bartender, and a half-orc patron looks sleepily but with interest at her. A drow woman leans back in a chair with one arm over the back an one foot up on a table. There is a mug of ale on the table and a sword stabbed into the ground next to her. She wears a low-cut vest and high-collared shirt with abundant jewelry. She has a tattoo of the Baenre crest on her inner forearm. Edosia stands, leaning over a desk, pointing down and talking with a stern look on her face. A man on the other side of the desk stands, looking exasperated, with his head in his hand. Light streams through a window in the background, bisecting the desk and separating them.

#tavqotd Show your tav in sunrise/sunset colors 🌅

Nerys IS the sunrise/sunset colors babbbbyyyy! Plus a bonus of her beating Gale at Lanceboard during the sunset hour. 🤓 #bg3 #bg3tav #bg3fanart #tavstarion #astarion #gale
A portrait of Nerys wearing dark red lip and eye makeup. Her skin is light red with salmon highlights and her hair is grey with red tips. A drawing of Nerys wearing a long maroon gown, with her arm around Astarion, viewed from behind A drawing of Nerys and Gale playing Lanceboard with the sun setting in the background. Nerys sits back comfortably and smiles. Gale slumps with his head in his hands. The sunset silhouettes trees and a tent behind them.

QRP your art w/ the moon in it!

Edosia, having escaped from the Underdark, now able to pray to Eilistraee, no longer in secret. Desperate for a different kind of life here. Convinced she isn’t worthy of the chance. Wondering why she was spared. #dnd #dndart #dndoc #oc #ocart #drow
Edosia, a drow woman, looks out a window at the moon, leaning forward eagerly and pressing her hand against the glass. A silver symbol of Eilistraee hangs on the wall nearby

Throwback to when Last Light Inn had a spring festival prompt! Here’s Nerys lookin cute for it. 🌺 (And thanks to @israfela1.bsky.social for the original prompt!) #tavqotd #bg3tav #bg3oc
A portrait of Nerys, a Tiefling woman with red skin and grey hair with red tips. She wears silver and ruby jewelry and you can see the top of a sleeveless maroon gown. She has woven pink flowers around her twirling grey horns.

How’s your OC changed over time?

Conscripted by Baenre as a child, Edosia became one of their top spies/assassins. Enacting their cruelty daily, she began to think there must be something more for her people. Inspired by a frenemy-turned-lover, she found Eilistraee 1/ #oc #ocsky #dnd #dndart #dndoc
A drow woman, Edosia, with slate colored skin and white hair looks straight ahead with an intense look on her face. She wears a dark cloak held closed with a pinning the shape of Baenre’s crest. Two drow women stand on a balcony. One looks out over the edge with one hand in her hip and one hand resting on a wall. She wears a long blue gown with a train decorated in spider webs. The other woman holds a drink and smiles playfully, wearing a grey dress with purple accessories. Edosia looks longingly out the window at a bright moon. She leans forward eagerly and presses her hand against the glass. A symbol of Eilistraee hangs to her right. Edosia is falling away from a bright white semicircle surrounded by orange and yellow light. She falls into an abyss of black, teal, and purple. She reaches one hand up as she falls down.

Qrp w/ your woman art!

Most of my art is woman art lol. Here’s a beloved NPC from my #dnd campaign before and after transitioning from songstress to senator, much to her dismay. #dndart
Side by side portraits of a light-skinned elven woman with blonde hair. In the left portrait her hair is flowing. She wears a playful blue dress and several necklaces and smiles widely, holding a sheet of music. In the right portrait she wears a long purple and gold robe with a high collar, her hair pulled back and a grim look on her face. She holds a piece of paper with a signature on the bottom.

Astarion origin run continues! I managed to outsmart the Zathisk and get that insane buff that makes all your Illithid powers a bonus action. 🦑 Plus got the most important trophy in the game. 😂🐾 #bg3

Qrp with your favorite portrait you’ve drawn! 🫟

This one’s probably my fave so far. A snapshot from Edosia’s past as a Baenre assassin, before she joined the Seldarine resistance. #oc #ocart #dnd #dndoc #dndart #drow

If you see this qrp w/ your OC smiling!

Here is a rare shot of Edosia smiling

Edosia, a drow woman with slate colored skin, wearing a long black gown with a sparkling white train and long black gloves. The dress twirls around her as she turns. She cocks her head to the side and smiles.

9-year wedding anniversary today! (Almost 16 years together.) We went for a nice dinner the other day but the real celebration is tonight’s #dnd session, as evidenced by this top-notch gift. 🤓😏🗡️💖
A close-up photo of the poster wearing a T-shirt. It is dark blue with white and grey lettering that says. EAT. SLEEP. SNEAK ATTACK. REPEAT. The corner features a grey silhouette of a d-20.

I’ve been kinda absent lately, but how could I not post for the 2 year anniversary of #bg3— it inspired me to draw, write, & return to #dnd. It’s deepened friendships & given me a source of joy & self-acceptance. Here’s some of my bg3 art to celebrate! #bg3oc #ocart #bowee #asra #tav #astarion
A drawing of Kaya and Astarion dressed for a fancy gala. She smirks and holds a drink in one hand. He, entangled in vines, leans on her for support. They are surrounded by vines, spikes, lightning, and fire. A drawing of Nerys and Astarion from the back. She wears a long maroon gown and has her arm around him. He wears his signature ruffled shirt and grey pants. A drawing of Kaya and Astarion sitting on a picnic blanket, leaning on each other, viewed from the back. A bottle of wine and two glasses sit in the corner, one glass overturned. A drawing of Bowee and Asra. Bowee smiles earnestly at Asra, who looks forlornly into the distance, a cracked halo around her head.

Thought I’d share the timelapse of this piece for #wipwednesday! It took such a long time to draw. Anyway, here’s a look at my process! #dndart #dndoc #ocart #drow

Latest piece I’ve been working on from my #dnd campaign: a portrait of a young(er) Edosia from the bad old days when she was a top assassin for House Baenre, before she joined the Seldarine resistance. #dndart #dndoc #ocart #drow
A portrait of Edosia wearing a dark grey and black cloak with spider-web embellishments and deep purple and teal piping around the front edge. The cloak is held closed with a silver pin in the shape of House Baenre’s crest. Edosia wears the cloak with the hood up and faces forward, with an expression of emotionless intensity.

New character portrait from my #dnd campaign! Mez’Baris Baenre: once legendary among the Seldarine resistance for openly rebelling against the High House, she is eventually revealed to be a double agent, working under deep cover for Baenre to undermine rebel operations. #dndart #dndoc #ocart #drow
A drow woman wearing a teal vest and a high-collared white shirt with a low v-neck and the sleeves rolled up asymmetrically. She wears several necklaces and earrings and has the crest of House Baenre tattooed on one wrist. She sits, leaning back casually in a chair with one leg up on a table that has a mug of ale on it. A short sword is stabbed into the ground next to her and you can see the tip of a dagger peeking out from under her shirt at her hip. She has short white hair styled in a faux hawk and smiles somewhat sinisterly.

New scene from my #dnd campaign! Edosia at her regular tavern. Feat. the owner (they have a tense allies > friends > lovers story), a rowdy troubadour w/ bad taste in music, and the always-sleepy retired barbarian who acts as body guard when he manages to wake up. #dndart #dndoc #ocart #drow
A drawing of a scene at a tavern. Edosia sits on a bar stool and leans against the wall, looking longingly at the drow man behind the bar, who is busy scolding a worried-looking elven man holding a lute and holding his hands up in a defensive posture. A sleepy-looking half-orc man looks sideways at Edosia, raising an eyebrow.

Saturday art drop! This is *by far* the most complicated scene I’ve tried to draw. It’s finally done! Honestly really happy with how it came out 🤓 #dndart #dnd #dndoc #ocart #drow
Three adventurers (Edosia and her two companions) viewed from the back walking down the aisle of a church. In the pews are hooded drow figures pointing bows at Edosia. At the alter in front of them are three more drow with worried or stern looks. On the back wall is a large stained glass depiction of Eilistraee silhouetted against the moon. The space is dimly lit, illuminated by candles.

If you see this, post your blue art! I have a lot of blue art apparently. This isn’t even all of it lol. Maybe it’s a drow thing. 🤓

#bg3 #bg3fanart #astarion #wyll #ocart #dnd #dndart
A drawing of two drow women standing on a balcony in fancy dresses. One looks out over the balcony with a hand on her hip and a hand up on a nearby wall. The other leans on the balcony, holding a drink, and looks over at her, smiling wryly. Kaya, a drow woman, wearing a purple ball gown, smiling and holding a drink. Leaning on her shoulder for support as he is entangled in vines is Astarion. They are also surrounded by spikes, lightning, and fire. Kaya, a drow woman with a white bob with purple tips, looks in wonder at three glowing orbs in front of her as she reaches out toward them. The figure of Wyll Ravengard silhouetted against a blue sky with a high sun. He stands with one foot up on rocks with his rapier out. Text to the right reads “Provoke the Blade, Feel Its Sting”.

Happy pride! I made these Warhol-style pieces of Nerys and Kaya in the colors of their pride flags. Nerys is bi and Kaya is pan! 🏳️‍🌈🌈💖 #bg3pridewalk #bg3 #bg3events #bg3oc #ocart
A Warhol-style quad print of a portrait of Nerys. One is in greyscale and the others are the colors of the bi pride flag (pink, purple, and blue). A Warhol-style quad print of a portrait of Kaya. The first is in greyscale and the others are in the colors of the pan pride flag (magenta, yellow, and cyan).

Kaya shows up in a shirt and shorts in wild neon colors. She doesn’t bring a sleeping bag, but just a huge fuzzy blanket which very noticeably does not match her pjs. She brings Pop Rocks as a snack, which she sneaks into people’s drinks, and she aggressively promotes a game of truth or dare. 😏💋

For this #wipwednesday another scene from my #dnd campaign: Deceived into believing Edosia betrayed them, some fellow Seldarine drow lure her to their base and orchestrate a “trial,” which is really an interrogation. Set in their church of Eilistraee. #dndart #dndoc #ocart #drow
Edosia and her party seen from the back, walking down the aisle of a church. The pews are lined with cloaked figures pointing bows at them. On the alter in front of them stand three drow and an empty chair. On the back wall, a large stained glass depiction of Eilistraee silhouetted against the moon is illuminated by candlelight.

My fave piece of sage acting advice from the great Nathan Kaiber in ep. 2 of @d3podcastshow.bsky.social. Big thanks to @inel.tv @devilligan.bsky.social @neilnewbon.bsky.social Clym and Devora for giving me something fun to listen to in the massive customs line I had to navigate Saturday!
A drawing of Nathan Kaiber from the D3 podcast. He stands on a beach wearing a tattered maroon suit and a grey trilby hat with a drooping feather in it. He points knowingly with one finger and a speech bubble says “You know, you don’t have to throw up on everything you see.”
