Huevember day 1 - Stars

I love participating in Huevember last year, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how my style and instincts have developed since then. (Can't believe it's already been a year)

Lineart of Lazarus the phoenix, and original character by Magpies and Mayhem. He is looking down with a serious expression, and the hilt of his whip-sword resting on his shoulder.

Hi folks! I'm a digital and traditional artist who loves fantasy, videogames, and all things D&D. I also just made affiliate on twitch! 🤩 I'd love it if you had a moment to check out my work, or to come swing by the stream and hang out! We're live MWF 1100 PST

A tavern full of characters, including a tiefling barmaid, a goliath barkeep, halfling, elf, and mysterious shadowy patrons. There are summer green bunting flags decorating the warm cozy space, and a roaring fire in the fireplace.

A busty green dragonborn barbarian wearing a leather harness and a simple loincloth prepares to smite you with a grin. Beams of sunlight reflect off her sword.

She's complete! Thank you @scramble-art.bsky.social for helping troubleshoot her scale pattern during yesterday's art stream. You helped a ton!
This commission is an anniversary gift to the player of this beautiful bombshell.

A very well-endowed green dragonborn barbarian wearing a leather harness and a simple loincloth wields a massive sword in both hands overhead. It catches the sunlight and she grins as she prepares to absolutely smite you.

A very busty Dragonborn barbarian wearing a leather harness and a simple loincloth heaves her sword overhead where it catches dazzling beams of sunlight. She looks down at you grinning, preparing to cleave you in twain with a mighty swing.

It's done! We finished this piece on stream today!

This was done following @salamanding.bsky.social 's art course. Please check her out, and consider signing up for the class the next time it opens! I learned a ton!

#art #digitalart #astronaut #selfportrait #artistlife #queerartist #uncannyrogue

An astronaut in an orange cosmonaut suit floats around helplessly in their living room. They are reaching for their tablet pen, while objects around the room float around them. They are backlit by their computer screen which fills the room with an eerie blue glow.

Flat color stage of the worried cosmonaut piece. They are floating in their living room while familiar floating objects, including a crochet hook and a red ball of yard, vinyl records float into the kitchen, and a cup of coffee tips over, lifting off from the floating coffee table.

Line art stage of the worried cosmonaut piece. This is the polished line art step, and there are no visible sketch lines.

Sketch of the worried astronaut piece. The sketch is blocked in roughly in red, and a couple items are different here than in the final sketch. A replica Majora's Mask falls off its hook on the wall, a cup shaped like Pikachu full of paint brushes floats amidst spilling, floating paint, and there is no yarn and crochet hook in the foreground. The desk is also shorter and the computer monitor is tucked behind the astronaut more than in the final piece.

We made great progress on the flipbook yesterday! Im really enjoying getting to do all this high-detail work on Aragorn's kit.

Three hand-drawn frames from The Fellowship of the Ring. An arrow whizzes past Aragorn as he looks off to the left, where the orc archers are firing from off screen. The drawings are done in a detailed, sketchy fineliner pen, with hatching and some cross hatching used for shading.

Pick an Aragon, any Aragorn!

We're almost 50 frames in of just Aragorn and the arrows, with 23 of the frames fully completed. 💪

Fanned out like a deck of cards is my progress report on the Flipbook of the rigns project. The shot is in the Mines of Moria where Aragorn ducks as an arrow shoots past his head before he runs up the stairs. The frames are being completed in a detailed and sketchy style, done in fineliner black in and gray marker.

Hello! I'm Uncanny Rogue. I do primarily D&D and ttrpg character art commissions, but I also enjoy drawing magic items and weapons.
I never use AI (frankly it makes my skin crawl).
My full portfolio is here: cara.app/uncannyrogue
I'd love to be considered for the artist pack! Thanks for your time!

A brunette tiefling barmaid in a green skirt and corset with a white, puffy-sleeved blouse returns to the bar with trays of empty mugs. She has a conjured mage hand carrying a third tray. The goliath barkeep wearing a dark purple dress and red apron looks on her kindly while wiping our a mug made of horn.

Purple-skinned warlock with white crystal hair stands on a precipice, admiring a gold skull amulet with ruby eyes. She is holding a tall bone staff and wearing a long purple cloak that is flapping in the wind.

A colorful array of characters is depicted inside of individual circular frames. The main character in the center stands arms wide in front of a black 20-sided die and a banner that says "roll for morvath". Behind him are four characters: a love-struck paladin, a cheerful barbarian wrestling with an alpine wold, a figure in full plate mail studying a book, and a really pissed off Harengon ranger who is trying to climb out of his frame to fight the main figure, a gray haired man in a dark purple robe with white trim.

Nice chill stream today! We worked on this little guy (he's not quite done yet) who I think is gonna be a mascot for the channel. I think a rogue with a pet mimic is hilarious!😆

They need a name tho! I'd love some help coming up with ideas for him.

#dnd #d&d #mimic #ttrpg #dndhelp #ttrpghelp

An adorable mimic shaped like a wooden treasure chest grins and winks with his big red tongue lolling out of his mouth past a row of shiny fangs. Inside his mouth is a pile of gold coins and a crown, and hanging out of his mouth is a necklace with a blue gem pendant and a paintbrush. There is a small sign that reads "Please DON'T feed the mimic!"

This commission is for a buddy of mine, about the campaign he DMs for us and a group of friends. I'm curious if ya'll can guess which character is mine...

#dnd #d&d #dnd5e #homebrewcampaign #dndart #ttrpg #d20 #fanart #queerartist #uncannyrogue

Five characters appear inside circular frames. In the center, a grinning man in a purple robe spreads his arms wide. In front of him is a giant black and shining D20 and a banner that says "Roll for Morvath" in decorative script. The characters behind him from left to right include an warlock with dusty blond hair who is infatuated with his patron diety, a cheerful, muscular barbarian who is playfully wrestling with a timberwolf, a person with glowing blue eyes in full plate armor reading a thick tome in a library, and an extremely pissed off Harengon ranger who is attempting to climb out of his portrait frame in order to fight the man in the center, Morvath.

Hi folks! I go by Uncanny Rogue, or just Rogue, and I'm super excited to be sharing a pack with so many talented artists!
I do character art and magic item commissions, as well as stream art on twitch. Pleased to meet you!

Hello! I'd love to be included in the pack if you're still adding more folks! I go by Uncanny Rogue online. I'm a digital artist who focuses on character art and magic items. I also stream art on twitch!
Below are a few examples of my recent D&D commissions, plus a personal piece (the loot pile).

A cozy, peaceful tavern scene POV. You are seated at a table by the fire with a flagon of ale, a pair of dice and what looks to be a letter bearing a red seal. Across the way from you, an elf and a halfling chat amiably over cards. A dark-cloaked man smokes a pipe in the darkest corner of the tavern. A flamboyantly dressed bard strides through the open double-doors. A tiefling barmaid in a summery green dress bears away trays full of empty flagons with the help of her conjured Mage Hand bearing a third tray. A tall goliath woman in a dark purple dress oversees the tavern, wiping out a flagon with a rag in the classic bartender's style. There is an assortment of bottles behind the bar, and green bunting flags are strung across the room. Perhaps you've arrived in time for the Summer Solstice festival in this little town.

An assortment of items spread out on a red cloak on the ground, including a short sword with a ruby core, a large monster's eyeball, a parcel with some herbs, a sheaf of parchment with a red seal, a pouch full of coins and crystals, and a blue potion bottle.

A purple warlock with white crystalline hair stands on a precipice overlooking a desert while a storm builds on the horizon. She is holding up and smiling at a gold amulet bearing a skull with red gem eyes. Her staff is a large bone of some enormous creature, and her dark cloak flaps behind her in the wind.

One year redraw! I really enjoyed coming back to this piece and getting to see how much I've learned. Makes me excited to keep trying new things! 7/25 and 7/24

#dndart #redraw #art #illustration #magic #fantasyart #ttrpg #dnd5e #queerartist #potion #enchanted #loot #items #magicitems

A pile of loot is laid out on a red cloak on the ground, in the late afternoon light. In the middle is a shortsword that appears to have a ruby core running through the blade and the handle, with crystals protruding from the hilt. The sword is tossed on top of a sheaf of parchment with a red seal in the corner, signed at the bottom with a flourish. In front of the sword, a leather pouch lies open with coins and small amythests spilling from it. Leaning on the pouch is an opaque, blue glass potion bottle with a round body and a cork. Behind them and the sword are three more items: a small square parcel wrapped in red string, a bundle of green herbs, and a large blue and purple eyeball of some unknown monster, glistening in the sun and staring sightlessly into the sky. The colors are vibrant, with thick line art and more time and attention has been paid to lighting and shadows in this redraw.

My friend asked me to whip up a ref sheet for this sword I drew so he could try making a 3D model of it. I love how the sheet looks, and I can't wait to see it in 3D!

A black and white drawing of a fantasy shortsword with gems protruding from the base of the hilt and the ends of the cross guard. There is a front and back view, and a close up and side view of the swirling, organic detailing at the base of the blade.

Hello #portfolioday !

I'm an illustrator and concept artist with a particular love for D&D portraits. I love using bold, vibrant colors and I'm known for getting sucked into the details.
Full portfolio in on my Cara, link in bio. Thanks for your time!

#dndart #art #characterart #fantasyart

A cozy tavern with a roaring hearth. An elf and a halfling play cards at a long table covered with fruit and wine. A flamboyant bard bursts through the doors, letting in the evening air. In the far back corner, a hooded figure smokes a long-stemmed pipe. Flitting across the room, a smiling halfling barmaid and her conjured mage hand clear away trays of empty flagons while the goliath bartender keeps a watchful eye on her tavern. The shelves behind her are filled with bottles of wine and liquors, as well as baskets of fruit and herbs. Before you on the table is a missive written on parchment, stamped with the royal seal, a full flagon of ale, and a set of dice, all catching a bit of orange firelight.

A bone-staff-wielding Warlock with purple skin and white, crystaline hair that crackles with blue electricity holds up a gold talisman bearing a ruby-eyed skull. She grins triumphantly as the wind whips back her cloak. She stands at a precipice overlooking a vast, barren desert. There is a storm on the horizon and she looks to be heading off onto her next adventure.

A statuesque Indian woman wearing a Victorian-era ballgown stares with unbroken focus past the duelist's rapier pointed skyward in her hand. The rapier has a red basket hilt that matches the iridescence of the gems adorning her ears, her throat, and the hairpin holding back her voluminous hair.

A dark blue child with flowing, azure hair falls upward in a starry sky. The child holds onto the corner of a pale blue star beneath them with one hand, their knees tucked to their chest.

My first commercial #commission of the year was with Bardy.ai and they were awesome to work with! All the #art and music in their #dnd app is all human made, the AI just makes the playlist. I got to make a #cozy #tavern piece and I'm so proud of how it turned out!
