Several discord emotes, three lines with the same three characters showing different expressions, and the remaining two lines with different characters all making unique expressions, with the watermark of the artist ArtWitchHazel

New comic!!

Part 3 of my Adventures in #RetroMUD!
Commissioned by the amazing @worldofwelstar.bsky.social, it documents my shenanigans in the online game RetroMUD

Follow along as I explore this really fun game!

Embodied my inner raccoon with this one 😄

A 4-panel comic, the title of which reads "Witch Hazel's Adventures in RetroMUD!" Off to the side of the title are the words "Part 3". At the bottom of the page is a signature "By ArtWitchHazel"

Panel 1: A silhouette of a raccoon creature with sugar glider wings and a witch's hat stands on a lily pad in water. In front of her is a giant tree with a dark hollow entrance. A path leads to the tree and next to the path are bushes with flowers in them. Trees line the surrounding and text at the top reads "As our Adventurer begins her journey, she awakens in a spring in the Druid Forest. In front of her lies the Great Tree" and text from the raccoon reads "Wow... Guess I'll go to the tree."

Panel 2: a close up of the Raccoon looking around the inside of the tree which is lined with vines and flowers. Text at the top reads "The Great Tree" and text from the raccoon reads "It's so pretty..."

Panel 3: The raccoon looks at a mural of a dark skin red eleven woman in a flowy long dress with imprints of flowers on it and very long flowy light hair. She's holding a staff and a set of scales. More vines and flowers are one the wall around the mural. Speech bubbles from the raccoon say "This mural...it looks sacred to the Druids. How beautiful... She holds the Staff of nature and the Scales of Balance. I wonder what those represent... Ooh a shiny!!" The raccoon's gaze is on a pile of sparkling dirt off to a corner.

Panel 4: The bottom of the mural is seen whole the raccoon is rummaging around sparkling patches of dirt in various different locations with the words "forage forage" next to her. As she moves through the panel she gains more arrows in hands. Another image of her is holding multiple arrows looking content with sparkles around her. Text from her speech bubbles read "Arrows..? Arrows! More Arrows!!!" Text at the bottom reads Our Adventurer has learned how to forage. She found 12 arrows! What other shiny treasures will she find?"

I'm trying so hard to avoid listening the the songs until the show comes out, but this is making it really difficult to do so 😖

Witch Hazel 🌸 Comms Open! @artwitchhazel.bsky.social · 2d

I don't know if this means I make it out and can escape you or not, but I do know a lot of folklore, and I'm very anxious/scared of a lot which just means I have made plans for getting out of scary scenarios

It's just what Epic does 😅 it was actually perfect because I was drawing tonight, had my favorite animatics playing in order for great background/drawing music and, the pretty animatics inspired me to draw more!

It's in my head now, guess I'll listen to the whole musical again (as if I wasn't listening to a playlist with the songs in it earlier today)

This is super reasonable and would work on me too, other gaming stores should take note!

Witch Hazel 🌸 Comms Open! @artwitchhazel.bsky.social · 3d

Ooh, Ive been wanting to try out grave domain, and playing VtM! My current PCs are a half-dryad fey wanderer/horizon walker ranger (my profile pic) for a homebrew Ravnica/Feywild game, and a (secretly) changeling order of scribes wizard for a Strixhaven one!
I like druids, rangers, and wizards best!

My loves: I am once again opening up commisions for full body, full color art of monsters to replace AI/freeware art. Unfortunately, the current financial situation in the market is forcing my hand--those who can offer more pieces of art will get higher consideration. Followers get considered first

Day 6 #Witchtober Doodle!

The themes were lightning and spell so I dedicated this one to my wonderful fiance and drew his D&D character!
This is Lycus, a Satyr sorcerer with the bronze dragon bloodline. He specializes in lightning magic!

Thursday 😄 I've told my fiance some ideas, retro gaming arcade, petting zoo, board games at our local game store, but left the actual decisions to him. Friends are staying the whole weekend, definitely gonna have an in person D&D day and maybe continue a murder mystery game I'm running for them!

Witch Hazel 🌸 Comms Open! @artwitchhazel.bsky.social · 5d

Hiya! Also a huge D&D fan, my profile pic is art I made for one of my PCs! Love RPG and cozy games, vampires, writing, books, fantasy, sci Fi, anime cartoons, manga, pretty much the majority of what you listed 😅 shall we be mutuals?
And what classes do you like in D&D/RPGs in general??

You gotta, these movies are so good! Been needing to rewatch them myself, but my siblings and I had the DVD and watched them so many times

Witch Hazel 🌸 Comms Open! @artwitchhazel.bsky.social · 5d

I haven't watched much critical role beforehand except some mighty nine, calamity, and the legend of vox machina so I can't compare too much to their normal style, but I enjoyed it a ton! I think Brennan is balancing the new style and all the characters very well
I'm also a huge Dimension 20 fan

Witch Hazel 🌸 Comms Open! @artwitchhazel.bsky.social · 5d

Enjoy your three days off! That sounds like a great plan for them 😄

It's actually my birthday week, friends are coming to stay over with my fiance and I later in the week, I'm really excited for whatever they've been planning! And it's the first week of handling training for the baby ball python!

Day 5 #Witchtober Doodle!

Today's themes were moth and wind, mostly focused on the cute moth but tried to get in some wind effects with the background! Drew it so fluffy it kinda makes me want to design a moth/sheep fakemon!
