Right, about time I did this - hi!! I'm Nat and I draw fantasy art!

I'm usually inspired by my own D&D characters, and I'm trying to make things as dramatic and cool as they are in my head. I hope people are happy to be around while I'm trying to do that 💖✨

A scene of a study lit by warm light. The foreground shows a ginger gnome (Helfi) on the right, leaning their upper body across the table top and resting their left arm out in front of them while their right, a gold prosthesis, is tucked in and being used to rest their face. Helfi is watching their mechanical bird companion (Berty) sing a tune, the both of them haloed by the window behind them. Further to the left of the foreground a small mechanical suit sits unused atop a stack of books. The background contains shelves of books, as well as different knick-knacks: an old golden prosthesis labelled "ol' reliable"; a pressed flower; an alchemy set up; goggle hung up on a tool pegboard; an unclear framed portrait; and a gold and glass, syringe-like gun.

A landscape painting showing a wizard blasting a lightning bolt. They're flanked by a crackling storm cloud, small sparks of lightning are shooting out and illuminating the surrounding clouds, and it billows away from them from the force of the blast. The spell itself is a bright blue and white, glowing and shooting off frame in a dark environment. The wizard is moving backwards and their hair, long, dark and braided, is flattened to their back and the ends fly from between their legs with the force of their movement. A single hand is outstretched to cast the spell.

A black and white painting of a drider from the waist-up. She is naked, and holds her left hand up in front of her chest, looking down at her palm with wide eyes and a too-wide open mouth. She has eight eyes, a crescent moon on her left cheek, and her mouth, full of sharp canine-like teeth, tears into her cheeks, joined by a few strands of flesh. She has striking, silk-like white hair, that falls behind her and over her left shoulder.

A red-skinned tiefling, her right hand reaching up, her tail lightly coiled under her, and floating in space with her left leg outstretched while her right is drawn towards her torso. She has a classic, pointed devil's tail, adorned with three gold rings, and curled ram-like horns - the tips of which are black before fading into her red/pink skin tone. Her tail and other limbs share the same black to red gradient. She wears a primarily black outfit, with an asymmetrical cloak, different length boots, and dark trousers, embroidered on the seams with celestial-style imagery of stars, moons, circles and suns. Her top is a white/cream colour, with a gold trim around the collar and on either side of its fastenings. She is smiling, a gentle but happy expression, and her eyes are wholly white and glowing, with a third, vertical eye on the centre of her forehead. Her dark hair is billowing behind her, and she has bangs that rest between her horns.

Artober 6 - Vast
#art #dragon

Digital art of a huge dragon rearing up in the distance, beyond rolling hills and mountains and clouds. Its wings are spread out, disturbed grass and dust swirling in the foreground as barely visible flocks of birds fly away from the dragon. The dragon looks up towards the sky, a full moon visible in the sky above as well as a few stars.

Anatomy of a Vampire 🧛🏻‍♀️💀🦇

#zombiecleofanart #vampiressmpfanart @zombiecleo.bsky.social

An Illustration of ZombieCleo in Vampires SMP. On the left, Cleo is facing sideways with their eyes and mouth closed. There are small blood stains on her choker. On the right, a black and red silhouette of Cleo shows their skeleton, with fanged teeth and red eyes in the sockets. A skeleton hand hangs down from the top left, and a human hand pokes up from the bottom right. The skeletal hand is clawed, but the human hand’s nails are poorly trimmed with blood on the fingers and knuckles. Between the two portraits is a red bat split down the middle, one fluffy and the other showing the skeleton underneath. The background is green with geometric shapes, and notes are scrawled all around the page pointing to the Cleo’s.

@thwhalee.bsky.social decided he wasn't done making amazing tracks for Crown of Salt's OST.

Such a cool fairy tale vibe for the Promised Princess. I love that Crown's OST has this wild mix of metal, orchestral, piano and noise elements, and it works so well.

This was actually the last of the 3 pieces I painted for the TMNT set for which I was VERY happy to contribute to

Donny wasn't one of my favs until now - his single-minded dedication to toiling away in a cluttered space hit pretty close to home

#art #repostober

A digital artwork of Ipomoea inspired by Alphonse Mucha's "The dance." Ipomoea's horns are lapped in flames, while a fire wraps their left arm and their right harm in shining bright. They are holding onto their dresses, which edges scatter into starlight. Her hair is also spread, sparkling. The frame is a thin crescent moon around Ipomoea, with stars etched into it.
