On a monsoon summer night, an apprentice, a healer and a warrior gather around a fire. One has come for refuge, another for healing, and the last to discover her truth.
In the glow of the fire and the warmth of their companions, help them find a way to tell their stories.

I really love the ethereal mood you captured in these 4 artworks. Gives an otherworldly/nostalgic feeling.

Thank you so much ❤️ Reggie is definitely one of my favourites to draw because of his attitude

Bianca M. Balan @biancambalan.bsky.social · 10h

Congratulations on 3.8k! What an achievement ✨
My name is Bianca and I'm a Romanian character artist with two personal world building projects in the works, one about a Dreamworld and its keepers and the other a mythic fantasy.
Looking forward to getting inspired by this thread!

Astral Self Monk Anaiya
A muscular woman with golden skin and curly, red hair tied up with a scarf
Her pose is intimidating, with her arms crossed over her chest.
She is wearing a blue tank top and blue robes at her waist which as swirling to the side, making way for a wave of water travelling upwards. She also has a mask at her waist, earrings, a beaded necklace, a knot necklace and ankle beads.
Her astral arms are also very muscular, one of them on her hip and the other holding a large spear with several tassels and decorations hanging from it.

Male tiefling fighter, wielding a flaming mace.
The tiefling is red with large horns and long, black hair and is wearing a full plate of armour with furs on the right side, leather boots and robes tied to the waist.
There is ash in the air around him.

Coffee-Shop owner Reggie the Husky from VIS
Reggie is a brown husky and is wearing a baggy hoodie in yellow, teal and beige. He's holding one of his famous Bull coffees.
Behind him there is graffiti and his name at the top right.

Cam and Remy, the Ruleweaver and the Artist from VIS, depicted leaning close to each other to light each other's cigarettes.
Cam is made from copper with patina and has dark, red hair and glowing eyes. He is wearing a sleeveless hoodie and has his arms crossed over his chest.
Remy has skin that is made from roiling colours as if paint pours and is wearing a grey vest.
Behind them there is a spray painted love heart.

#cursedrelics week 3 🗝️⚱️🐉☀️

For this sketch I wanted to bring Fien and Zofia together, and what better way than the Lughnasadh celebration? Plenty of dancing and laughing, hot food and cold ale, games and tender moments.

#oc #sapphicromance #sapphicfantasy

Sketch featuring two female characters inside a wooden-panelled room with bound stars hanging from the ceiling, as well as a main star centrepiece with bells at its end.
The more muscular woman is holding a more slender woman up as they dance.
The slender woman has 6 arms, dark blue hair with water plants tied into it, pale skin, and is wearing a navy dress with a high collar, navy fingerless gloves on two of her arms and a pale belt to which a portal key and a water skin with a dragon crest tied to it.
The muscular woman has rosy skin and long brown hair with gray streaks and colourful bits of ribbon tied into a braid on her right side, and a forget me not flower behind her left ear. She is wearing a purple jerkin with blue and lime green accents, as well as purple trousers tucked into thigh-high leather boots. Tied to her waist she has a gourd containing a solar elixir and an urn of a demonic creature, held up by two green frogs.

I don't usually post political things but the Green Party's Zach Polanski is giving me hope for the future of the UK. With Labour pandering to the Reform voters and Reform sowing hatred and division, this man feels like the first voice to actually call out the real issues and fight to fix them.

Dipping my toes into #Vgen with these three types of commissions.
This gobbo here is super excited to rub her paintbrushes together and give you and other adventurers a piece of her art and a cheeky +1 on your rolls!

#artcommissions #fantasyart #characterdesign
