Digital drawing of a red-skinned tiefling curled up in a wooden chair, drawing in a pad of paper. Pinned to the wooden wall behind him are large pieces of paper with sketches of other characters on them - clockwise from the bottom left: a flame-haired fire genasi in a suit, with his arms raised; a dragonborn-satyr hybrid, sat provocatively on a ball; a reclining ice genasi; a feathered half-elf in a toga; and an elf whose colouring is equally split between black and white, kneeling and holding a staff.

Digital fanart of Wolfwood from the anime "Trigun Stampede." Drawing shows a man in a black suit with a grey shirt open to the sternum, with dark hair and glasses. He's carrying a futuristic crucifix-shaped gun over one shoulder, doing a thumbs-up with his other hand towards someone beyond the right of the frame, and has a small vial of pale blue liquid clenched between his teeth. The front of shirt is stained with blood, which steam as the regenerative drug in the vial heals him.

Digital drawing of a shirtless half-elf man with fair hair, a green martial arts sash, and blue trousers and neckerchief. He is balanced on one leg, performing a high kick with his other leg, and has his body leaning backwards for balance.

Digital drawing of a young man with white hair tied into a very long ponytail standing and looking up towards a spotlight in the sky. He is wearing a sleeveless shirt, a skirt made of green-white feathers, and metal greaves. His exposed skin is marked with white tattoos in mystic and astrological designs. He is clutching an orange glowing egg to his chest. Artfight drawing of @/sailingkobold's character, Davian.

#art #dnd #ttrpg

Aurora stands by threshold of a portal comprised of two columns connected by an arc. She wears a long flowy dress, with a bodice decorated with white roses. She is lifting her hand towards a star, and golden threads are wrapped around her. There is water on the ground where the stars are glittering.

A ghostly white head with long hair and a circlet is trapped in a glass jar with a metal, spiky lid tied with chains. The head is screaming with its mouth open wide, while a purple ooze flows from it. The jar is on top of an altar of sorts with runic inscriptions on the steps leading to it. Behind it, a huge, dark creature with long extremities looms over the scene, with its hands surrounding the jar.

A red-haired dwarf with an eye patch, a mohawk and a manica and a Huge, muscular, long-haired character at a bar share a table, some drinks while playing and/or gambling. The dwarf has just leapt onto the table holding a massive axe and threatening to severe his opponent's hand, while the other begs him not to. In the background, a lively crowd cheers and laughs while watching the scene.

The focus of the illustration is massive cocoon-like formation made of gnarled branching shapes with a warm, eye-shaped light in the centre. In the foreground, a thick “branch” where a character is standing goes towards the background. The atmosphere is mostly blue and hazy, with some warm light particles floating around.

A horned and almost entirely covered creature stands in the middle of the picture. Frayed layers flow around its body, kind of disintegrating as they move. A dark face with bright eyes is barely visible. Behind it, we see a stony and almost organic setting in mostly cool colours. In the bottom of the frame, we see a small character looking at the giant creature, standing on an organic-looking pathway.

Digital drawing of a half-elf monk standing among some trees, resting his hands on the trunks of two trees that form an arch over his head, and peering curiously at something out of the left side of the frame. He has blond hair, cut short and spiked up at the front, blue eyes, and pointed ears. He is wearing a blue neckerchief, wrist bracers, no shirt, a green martial arts sash, and loose blue trousers obscured by branches in the foreground.

Digital drawing of a shirtless bearded half-orc man, with scars across his body, sitting on a stone throne and lit by a shaft of light emanating from the top left of the frame. He is resting his left hand on the arm of the throne, and holding a sword in his right, with its tip resting on the ground in front of him. His left foot is resting on the skull of a sabre-toothed cat-like creature. He is looking fiercely towards the camera.

Digital drawing of Edward Elric, main character of the anime & manga "Fullmetal Alchemist." The drawing depicts a young man with golden hair and eyes, worn with bangs on either side of the face and a single braid at the back. He is wearing a tucked-in vest that shows his metal right arm, a thick leather belt, and dark trousers. He is standing with his hands in his pockets, moodily looking off to the right of the frame.

Digital drawing of a muscular man standing in a lake, with the water level coming up to his hips. The skin of his arms is discoloured and blue, with strange runes etched on them, and he is wearing leather bands hung with charms around them. His hair is also coming through blue, and he is looking towards the top left of the frame.

A digital rendered illustration of two autumn eladrin posing, looking at the viewer, one laying their head and hands on top of the other's. They are mine and my friend's original characters. They are both pale-skinned with orange hair and beards. Accolon (top) has golden eyes with black sclera and Estel (bottom) has green eyes with white sclera. They are both covered in golden jewelry. Estel has flowers in his hair and wears a burgundry v-neck top and autumnal makeup. Accolon has a green to black gradient around their eyes, on their arms, and at their ears. The background is indicative of a tavern.

A rendered digital illustration of two original characters kissing. One is a pale-skinned firbolg with long, beaded brown hair and hooves wearing a large brown coat and blue embroidered cardigan. He is leaning down dramatically to kiss his partner, a dark blue-skinned elf with chitinous armour and tight, dark clothing. They also have gold markings on their upper arms and face, and they stand on their tip toes to kiss the firbolg. They both stand on a well-worn path in a flower field in early spring, snow still melting, with green trees on the horizon.

A rendered digital painting of two men as a study of Springtime (Pierre Auguste Cot). One man is a scruffy tan-skinned human with pulled up black hair, and the other is an elegant, pale autumn eladrin with flowing red hair with flowers in it.

A rendered digital portrait of a blue-skinned fairy with a long blue mullet and blue morpho-inspired wings. They are smiling widely at the viewer. They have dark blue/purple moth-like antennae, white whiskers, and a spectral white unicorn horn. They have freckles and a pink blush across their cheeks. The background is a dark purple to gold gradient, with the gold centred around the character's head.

An ethereal digital artwork showing a woman looking upward toward a glowing star in the sky. Her arms are crossed and guarded, yet peaceful. Her body seems to dissolve into light and chaotic energy, surrounded by circular halo-like rings. The colors are soft purples and golds. It has a dreamy, cosmic vibe.

A trio of characters seen on the deck of an airship. A woman in white with a black belt and reddish black undergarments stands with a boat oar over her shoulder, a compass in hand and looking to the left, her black/blue/purple hair blowing in the breeze. A buff man in a gray shirt and dark pants sits crouched on a clearly unsafe back part of the ship with a rake as a weapon. A woman stands on the back part of the ship under the mast and magical sail in a patchwork outfit with broken chains dangling from her wrist. Blue glowing crystals can be seen keeping the ship aloft.

A digital illustration of a massive divine dragon with purple and gold coloration. The massive beast flies over a mountain city with floating islands all around. As it turns in the sky its wings trail through clouds. The creature has a thick almost gorilla like body and stripes like a tiger but made of something like gold that seems to flow beneath its skin.

Serahn, a dark skinned elf with faint catlike markings leaps through a forest with a dark reddish colored sky. He’s flanked by two blue spectral entities trailing wispy energy like smoke. He too trails that same energy indicating a connection with the spirits.

An image of a woman in a blue dress seated upon a throne with moon symbols on it looking down imperiously. She is surrounded by stones, gnarled trees and a stone circle behind her head. Her hair moves as though it's being blown by a strong wind or moved by ocean currents. Her dress flows into a waterfall that turns into a pool that flows into the foreground.

Firbolg* #adoptable

Hi y’all, I initially wasn’t gonna sell this guy but money has been tight and there’s some bills I still need to pay.

Please shoot me a message through DMs if you’re interested in adopting them! Payment is through PayPal. I’ll keep track of the availability in the replies!

Promotional image for my new adoptable (80EUR), a green Firbolg* with green skin and furry legs. He has a short beard too. He’s kind of more of a mix between a Firbolg, a tiefling and a satyr. He has short green hair and brown eyes. He’s wearing a simple brown dress and some brown ankle warmers.

The adoptable will come with a naked base, with the outfit separate. You can also request an additional outfit for €50.
