Because I haven't shared these here yet, I thought I'd share them all together!

Here are all of my pencil and ink sketches for my solo show @gallerynucleus.bsky.social!

My seventh piece for my solo show @gallerynucleus.bsky.social! 🐉

I wasn’t quite sure how to post such a horizontal piece, but when working on these originals I didn’t want to be limited purely to what would look good on social media, so here we go!

100% agreed! I'm lucky that I'm playing with good friends -- and my husband is the DM 💛 I keep meaning to make art of my character but haven't gotten around to it yet other than this tiny doodle I've color roughed but not painted yet
