So ummm it's my birthday, and I heard you can ask for shares on your art during it, so >:3 behold, some 2025 art I'm pretty proud of!!

#dnd #dndart #dungeonsanddragons #art

A digital illustration featuring a fullbody character over an ornate background. The illustration is made in linearted style. The colors span from warm oranges, to reds, purples, blues and teals. There are multiple swirls framing the picture. The character is a blue-skinned, pointy-eared, purple-eyed genasi. He has crystals growing on his body, and has a mane made of smoke. He is wearing an ornate tunic that fades into swirls. He's holding a swirling orange heart that turns red on the edges.

This is a digital illustration depicting a fullbody character. They are an earth / air genasi, with bright blue skin with pinkish iridiscence, opalescent crystals across their limbs, horns, and smoky colorful hair. One of their arms and horn is made of iridescent black metal. They are wearing an iridescent dress, with a fluffy chal with tassels all over the place. They have a mantle wrapped around their arms, which cascades towards the floor.

A digital illustration featuring a thri-keen character (based on a spiny mantis) over a decorated scene. The character has the head of a bug and a humanoid bodytype, with four arms, with purple chitin and a fancy outfit in greens and browns. She is holding a bouquet of flowers with lilacs, zinnias, rhodo-somethings and orange lilies, amidst others. She is holding lavender in one arm, and lavender-filled teacups in two other arms. She has four large bug wings. The tea is being poured, generating misty shapes. The palette is warm, with mostly greens, oranges and purples.

A digital illustration featuring a fullbody character, standing in an ornated background with a flat perspective with an elaborate border in the form of two columns. The character is a drow (a type of elf) with dark purple skin and white hair, and light purple eyes. She has the hair arranged in a big ponytail, with bangs and sidebangs. She is wearing a full armor in a dark metallic color, and holding a stylized sword with a small skull and teal smoke wrapping it. She is holding a patterned cloth, that wraps around her. The entire drawing is rendered in a soft style and has warm tones, with ornate details both in the character and background.

Allll that effort Roli put in to trying to get Razz to become a Warlock and she still became a Bard. (Maybe he’s holding out for a late level multiclass…)

An illustration of a young Tiefling holding a huge book that says “dark magic 101” on the cover. It looks like her pet cat is encouraging her to look at it. A bright green light illuminates her face and eyes float around her. There is a note written above her with an arrow noting that she can’t actually read though…

Here's my piece for the #faeandelvensecretsatan2025 for Lyn, featuring Odan, an undead drow! I love doll and puppet motifs, I love drow, I love undead blorbos- This was the perfect choice~

Bardic Inspiration 🫐

Cal and Quinn were traveling the Underdark, and got surprised by some creatures. Quinn was casting a spell to save them both, but Cal gave him a bit more of inspiration with a little kiss >:3c

An illustration of Cal and Quinn being attacked by small creatures while they're in the Underdark. Quinn is casting a spell and Cal is giving him a kiss, which completes the magic runes of his spell. Quinn is looking at them surprised but with a little smile.

Ohhh I knew letting Roli get his license was a bad idea. Born from the chaos and fun that is my supporter Discord, Roli playing bumper cars with @hyracia.bsky.social’s VtM Vampire, Tosk. Had a blast working on this one. 🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥

An illustration of a black cat with a tentacle tail and a long snouted vampire character playing bumper cars and crashing in front of a huge explosion.

Fresh art, because I saw a really cool dress and I drew Urion (my drow/bismuth earth genasi cleric) in it, as a treat-
#dnd #dndart #dungeonsanddragons #art

A digital illustration featuring a painted fullbody character over a plain grey background. They character is a dark elf with dark warm purple skin, orange eyes with black scleras, pointed ears turned somewhat downwards and faux locs in a purple-to-orange gradient. They have bismuth veins across their arms and claws. They have two prosthetic legs that look futuristic, and a mechanical tail. They are wearing a purple dress with two giantic flower-shaved sleeves. The dress has a metallic trim to it and it has sparkly rhinestones that look like a galaxy. They are leaning in a cane that is blue with silver streaks.

What do you think, can we hook you up with some Eldritch Berry Blasted ice cream swirls?! Flexing some of my food illustration skills in some of the pieces for this new series. Getting my postcards and everything ready to roll for COMITIA153!

An illustration of a cat with one eye and strange Eldritch features looking very excited about the huge ice cream Taiyaki that it is sitting beside. Mouth open, ready to chop. It looks to be an unusual neon swirled flavour.
