I'm Birch! I'm a queer nerd (they/she) who loves to yap about and draw my D&D OCs, yell about my hyperfixation video games, and throw myself around a pole in my spare time.

#DND #art #ocsky

El'raena, a half drow with ash brown hair in a half ponytail holding a floating amber necklace in her hands as it emits of soft orange glow, she stares absently at it

Valmir, a half drow paladin with short dark blue hair and white scarification on his body, in silver and gold filigree plate armour sitting on a sideways barrel and playing the pan flute with white and gold feathers floating around him. Valmir has amnesia and is yet to discover he's an aasimar, and is on a quest to find out about his past and his forgotten oath.

A fake screenshot style image of two drow elves at night time in a dead forest surrounded by mists in Barovia. Both are facing the camera, El’raena, a rogue, looks towards the sky and says ‘I get it, we can’t help our nature’ while Valmir, a paladin in plate armour, looks off to the side in discomfort.

El’raena, a drow girl with ash brown hair and Ireena from the DND Curse of Strahd module asleep on the wooden floor of a tower with moonlight coming in from the window

El’raena, a half drow female rogue with ash brown shoulder length her in a half ponytail, knelt over looking up, baring her fangs and snarling with blood dripping from her mouth. She is in harsh red lighting with her gold eyes cutting through the light

A moment of contemplation ✨

It was revealed that Talon may have been magical 400 years ago, but it seems some deem it “useless” & “empty” now.

Little Update on this Illustration of Njal! ☺️
It‘s for a little Tarot Project with many other artists. Njal is „The Fool“! ☺️🙌

[ #oc | #ocsky | #art | #wip ]

A wip of a tarot card project with other artists. Njal is shown, holding his axe and journal. Paper is flowing out of the journal. There are still little sketches of pine trees and all that. Njal is my OC. He‘s got long wavy hair and a soft smile on his lips.

Oh this is really fun! I do an incredibly vague first pass with a big brush to get the flow/shapes down, another messy pass to start refining things (sometimes repeat this once more) then a pencil pass to get details and specifics down. Sketching is my fave part of the process for sure 🙏

Time for my 6-monthly redraw of Rae’s hybrid werebat form in prep for finally revealing it to the party in the next couple months. New moon’s coming, time’s ticking 🌑
