I forgot to post her here!!! My babygirl Yness. She makes terrible decisions. I love starting new D&D campaigns, it's like getting a new doll to play with. (also, shhhh, nobody talk, this is the secret version! the party doesn't know about the markings of the abyss...)

#ocsky #wednesdayweeklies

Drawing, woman in the woods hunched and looking up with some suspicious. She golds a massive dark tome and dark magic swirls in her hand. She has organic-looking line markings across her skin that shine like oil slicks and look like eyes in some areas. She's wearing bright clothing and lacy socks, and has her dark hair in a high ponytail.

I’m listening to Campaign 3 again (hush) so I’m sketching scenes that stick with me. This whole arc does (anything Laudna, really). So have this colored sketch from episode 37.

#wednesdayweeklies #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #laudna #matildabradbury #imogentemult #bellshells #criticalroleart

A digital sketch of Imogen and child Laudna (Matilda) from Critical role campaign 3, bells hells. Imogen leans on a wall and says, “can you see the tree, honey?” Matilda, on the other side, says “no, the tree scares me.” Laudna clutches a doll that looks like Delilah Briarwood.

I was so caught up in Art Fight last month that I forgot to share what I've been making!

My first attack was a portrait of Simeon for @gingersnipevm.bsky.social! ✨

#Artfight #TeamFossils #ocsky #dnd #art #WednesdayWeeklies

A firbolg with light purplish-grey fur holds a warm, glowing star that lights up their face, and they stare seriously into it with bright blue bovine eyes against a dark night sky. They're wearing a dark tank top, there's a short mop of white hair on their head pulled back into a ponytail, and their ears curl down to their shoulders.

#wednesdayweeklies

a digital painting of a group of people lit dramatically by light from one side. thamyris, demigod of desire, rises from the center, as their myriad lovers cling to them from below. one of these lovers, a half-orc named blair, stabs thamyris through the heart with a bronze blade. thamyris strokes blair’s cheek with one hand

a closeup detail shot of thamyris’s face

a closeup detail shot of blair’s face, as well as some of thamyris’s other lovers. elektra, right, grabs blair’s arm in vain hope of preventing the blow. alcaeus, left, tilts his face up to thamyris in supplication

another zoomed in detail shot. this one depicts pericles, top, devastated as he reaches out his hands to grasp for thamyris, and aithon, bottom, who uses their hand to lift up alcaeus’s
