I do pretty much anything people throw money at me for but mostly chara illustration & PNGtubers.
A black and white digital ink image of a female au ra from the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, leaping toward the viewer with a manic grin and a daikatana held high, ready to swing down. A digital painting of a being shaped like an unnaturally thin and pale man dressed in black robes with ropes of light tying them around his body. The upper half of his head is a billowing cloud of blue and grey smoke. A digital, cel shaded image of a smiling man with long purple hair in black robes with white armored boots and gauntlets. He floats in a swirl of purple and red spiraling energy. He casually holds a scythe made of disparate parts held together with a purple and red sigil. Two images. A digital cel shaded Pngtuber, a woman in a barmaid outfit with red bobbed hair, dimples, and fox ears and tail. In one image she looks at the viewer with a silent smile, in the other she smiles happily with mouth open.

Last minute costume because I'll drop dressing up for Halloween when I'm buried 6ft under. Don't really have anywhere to go (and left the wings off in the Dr appointment, I'm not dealing with wings and doors at the same time) but at least with the ears and makeup I still look like a fancy elf 😅
A picture of me in my Halloween costume with trees and nature in the background. I'm dressed as a fancy looking fairy with blue brocade vest, top hat, shiny green shirt, fake pointy ears, and large iridescent fairy wings.

This week's VtM sketch is a mishmash of my character's Sire, our very own "unimportant NPC that the party adopts as the most important thing ever," and the most badass of us all using the shadows to her advantage rather literally.
Three digital sketches. Top sketch: an old lady with short curly hair and coke bottle glasses smiles to someone off screen. She is captioned "Rose (a.k.a. our Boblin the Goblin). Bottom left sketch: An imposing older man labeled "Grigore Dragomir" in an elaborate coat with a terse expression. His eyes have slitted pupils and black sclera. Bottom right sketch: A woman in a tank top with long curly hair, reaching toward the viewer with clawed hands from within a swirling cloud of shadow.

Forgot to post this D&Doodle last week.

The totally-in-character drawing that Esteem attempted of one of Strahd's brides. He only rolled a 14 so it was titled the "Not So Great Drawing of [spoilers]." It’s not actually that bad, if a bit simple, but he used too much ink and warped the parchment.
A digital drawing imitating ink and wash techniques, showing a woman in a crown and large veil from the waist up. She has long curly black hair and looks at the viewer with a resting bitch face stare.

And yet more D&Doodles, went to a fancy dinner party in Curse of Strahd. Fancy dinner party means fancy dress, of course, and I managed to draw 3 of the 5 fancy outfits (well, "fancy" in our cleric's case—don't order your outfits while drunk, kids) before I needed to rest.
Our cleric, dressed in an extremely revealing outfit consisting of an underbust corset with one strap barely covering his left pectoral, and black leather pants with long windows showing his thighs, held together with long crisscrossing ribbons. He looks away with wide, embarrassed eyes. Our barbarian wearing a surprisingly frilly (for her) dress, with wide sleeves and ruffles along the off-the-shoulder top that shows a few scars as well as a dark rash on her right cheek and shoulder. She looks to the camera with a half-smile. My tiefling wizard in a fancy surcoat with a thick belt at the waist, puffed shoulders, fingerless gloves, and dark pants, holding a small chest and looking quizzically to the side with blacked out eyes full of stars.

Finally made it to the VtM game I had ostensibly signed up for. You know what that means! New game, new characters, new doodles. Featuring my tsundere tsimizce, a troubled toreador, a haranguing hecate, and a misunderstood malkavian.

No idea why I went with alliterative epithets but eh.
4 digital sketch portraits. Top left: a nonplussed looking young man with short bedhead. Top right: A troubled looking man with glasses, a scarf, and 5-o-clock shadow. Bottom left: a standoffish looking woman with long wavy/curly hair barely contained by a clip in the back of her head. Bottom right: An older man with a long, long beard, glasses that obscure his eyes, and a trucker hat with a badly drawn Rat Fink on it.

No D&Doodle for Crooked Moon because I was busy working on comms, but the Curse of Strahd DM gave my character a MASSIVE plot twist so I was inspired to draw him and his long-lost sister, catching each other up on things sometime when he isn't about to go to the trap castle for dinner.
A black and white sketch of two tieflings from Dungeons and Dragons. Both have similar horn styles, one dressed in wizard robes and the other dressed in a hood and a skirt with leggings. They sit and talk to each other with smiles on their faces.

Sammy: "Father...I yearn for the wilderness. It calls to me."
Me: "Every time you aren't on the leash you take two steps out and then stare at the sky like it's trying to mind meld with you until I take you back inside."
Sammy: "THE CALL OF THE WILD, FATHER."

CW: Ant story. No bug pics.

Cat woke me up pestering for food, turned out ants had gotten to his bowl after breakfast. Trail led to a LITERAL CRACK IN THE FOUNDATION. It's 5am, nothing is open, ants are leaking in.

Me, sleep deprived ex-theater kid and certifiable idiot: P...put tape on it.

As for Curse of Strahd: This one requires a bit of context! We originally had a different 5th member than our cleric, an elven paladin that we kicked for lack of interest in interacting with the game (to put it lightly).

Last time we saw him was a year ago. In real life, anyway...
Two images of an elf paladin. First image: an elf wearing big pauldrons with long slicked back hair and a haughty expression looking slightly down on the viewer. An arrow points to the image with the caption "June 2024 (octyavr 30th)." Second image: the same elf, looking more haggard and hunched with a furious expression. His gritted teeth sport sharp, canine fangs. Shadowy tendrils billow up from him. An arrow points to the image with the caption "August 2025 (Neyavr 13th)." in the white space of the image lies a light gray, barely readable sentence: "dude went to shit in two weeks..."

More doodles incoming. Crooked Moon night is going well, don't let the ominous doodles spook you (the module itself will do that just fine)
Sketch of my dhampir character and his first "Order of the Lycan" Bloodhunter subclass transformation, re-skinned to be a transformation into an amalgam of more monstrous vampire tropes. Claws rip out of his gloves, he grows malformed bat wings and giant bat ears, his teeth become a mess of sharp fangs, his eyes become pale irises over darkened sclera, and his skin becomes so pale you can see his veins. He looks a bit scared over it. Two panels of our resident 6ft tall mannequin-like fighter doing the "I'm watching you/you're next" motion mid-battle. First panel she points two ball-jointed fingers to her wide doll eyes, looking at her next target. Second panel she points one finger away at her target, with her doll eyes more narrowed.

Not that our continuing misadventures in Curse of Strahd have gone un-doodled, either.
Our barbarian, infected with a pustule-filled rash on her side, giving chin scritches to a ghostly pseudodragon that rests on her shoulder with a smile. A WIP portrait painting of our druid. He has short auburn hair and sideburns, green eyes, peach skin, and a grey fur collar (ostensibly from a jacket or vest not pictured). A three-drawing sketch comic of a very important and serious character development moment. Panel 1: Our cleric, with the ghostly pseudodragon on his shoulder, looking terrified while his repeating internal monologue of "I need to run, I don't want to die, etc" fills the space behind him. Panel 2: the pseudodragon looks up at the cleric and gives the most adorable sad puppy-dog eyes. Panel 3: a more cartoony drawing, the cleric cries anime tears while the pseudodragon looks at him with a smile. In a thought bubble, he thinks: "...Fuck. Shillelagh it is."

Dump of DnDoodles incoming because I've been forgetting to upload stuff. I'm now in another game that gets doodles: a shiny new Crooked Moon campaign with this colorful cast.
A full body colored sketch of a pale Dhampir with red eyes and a cheeky fanged smile. He wears a wide brimmed hat, a red scarf, a long jacket draped on his shoulders, a maroon partially undone jerkin, leather boots and gloves, and a leather protective armor over his heart. He caries a rapier in one hand and gestures nonchalantly with the other. Three sketchy portraits of the remaining Crooked Moon cast. Top: Our resident Barbarian, a threadborn mannequin-like character with long hair, doll eyes, a false nose, and painted-on lips and eyebrows. She wears a bow in her hair. Middle: Our wizard, a Relicborn living skeleton with a skull-top-full of long braided hair and magic "eyes" within his empty sockets. He tips his hat and opens his jaw in a way that looks like he's smiling. Bottom: Our druid, a scared-looking human with ear-length hair, a scruffy beard, and a scarf around his neck.

Quiz result stating: Dead/Going To Die You're just a little too likable to live. From the moment you were introduced, we all knew you were a goner, not (sic) matter how many wanted to keep you. You are the subject of so, so many fix-it fics written by crying fans who just want their blorbo back, but you're still dead in cannon. (sic) A cartoon image made from picrew depicting myself, a scrunkly trans man with blue eyes and red glasses, with horns and trans and ace hearts floating to the side.

More DnDoodles. A moment of critical persuasion success without rolling, and the inevitable consequences of my actions 🙃
Two black and white doodles. 1st doodle: Esteem the tiefling wizard knocks lazily on a door. A voice from inside shouts: "Fuck!! Do you know how late it is!? This had better be GOOD!" Esteem's reply: "we have your son." The voice behind the door: "Fuck!! That is good!" 2nd doodle: Esteem looks into a hand mirror with skull and rose carvings along its edge. In the mirror, we see his shocked face as he inspects his eyes—which have both become black voids full of stars.

Quick dump of some more commissions I recently finished. Which, by the way, still have open slots~

ko-fi.com/tickyhead/co...
A commissioned portrait of a Garlean character from Final Fantasy XIV with pale skin, white hair, the Garlean third "eye" peeking out from beneath the shaggy bangs over his forehead, and one red eye; his left eye is obscured by an eye-patch and a vertical scar from above his eyebrow to the middle of his cheek suggests why. He looks at the viewer with a snarling scowl and a raised eyebrow, as if to say "what're you looking at?" A full body commissioned illustration of a well-armored, well-endowed woman with dark skin, white dreadlocks with a streak of purple within that fly over her head with her movement, two bat-like wings, and an artificial left arm and right leg that appear to be made out of a golden gemstone-like material. She plants herself in a defensive stance with a serious look on her face toward whatever it is she's fighting.

Happy pride month everyone! Have a doodle from 2023 to celebrate.

This year especially we need to get loud, get proud, and tell the world we are here, have always been here, and are not going to take their bigoted BS lying down.

If we cannot have our pride, they will have our wrath.
My FFXIV character, a male viera, holding small trans and ace pride flags while looking confusedly to someone out of view. He asks: "Uhhh...remind me why I'm holding these, again?" Then, "...'Pride WHAT' now? What in the Seven Hells is a 'month?'" (for some context: "months" in the world of FFXIV are called "moons.")

Semi-retired at this point but sure, why not.
A turnaround (front and back, and posed with one hand behind his head and an awkward smile) of a 3D demonic vtuber wearing red glasses, a black vest with tails, red shirt, black pants, and black knee-high boots, all with gold trim and purple accents. The character has light blue skin, blue eyes on dark purple sclera, vibrant purple hair, and a crown of black horns and a black spiky tail. A png of a 3D demonic vtuber wearing red glasses, a black vest with tails, red collared shirt, black pants, and black knee-high boots, all with gold trim and purple accents and a skull motif on the shoulders. The character has light blue skin, blue eyes on dark purple sclera, vibrant purple hair, and a crown of black horns and a black spiky tail. The pose is relaxed as he talks to the camera with one hand out and the other crossed over his chest.

Sometimes I remember that for all its faults, at least I ended up somewhere that looks kind of nice on occasion.

I may as well put my hat in the ring (thanks @dalareyn.bsky.social ).

I have examples of my work over here: tickingheadcreations.com

Plus adding a few that aren't on the website but might be pertinent.
A digital inked image of an armored viera (from FFXIV) with a scythe, as seen from an extreme perspective above, with a voidsent shadow beneath him. A commissioned image of a client's demonic character "ugly crying." An image of a demonic character flying over treetops while playing with elemental magic that arcs between his outstretched hands. A simple portrait of a Tolkien-esque elf with stormy blue eyes and red hair loosely tied and braided.

Any character I play is assumed trans unless otherwise stated. I also have a short visual novel WIP about a transmasc MC who's given magical girl powers—complete with dysphorically frilly outfit—and how he balances saving the world & his identity. I should really get back to working on that...
A Tolkien elf for my most recent ttrpg foray, a pale and thin man with stormy blue eyes and long red hair loosely tied and braided. Transmasc, he/him. The main character from my visual novel project, in his civilian clothes and magical "girl" outfit. A digital ink drawing of my FFXIV character, a transmasc viera, looking beat up from a fight and wiping blood from his chin. The perspective from above shows that his shadow appears to have wings, horns, claws, a tail, and a wide, fanged grin. My vtuber persona, a blue demon with blue eyes over purple sclera, a spiky black tail, a purple undercut, and a "crown" of black horns. He wears red glasses, black pants, and a fancy black waistcoat with tails and gold trim over a red shirt with rolled up sleeves and even more gold trim.
