Drawing my favorite girl again 🫶

I wanted to update Two's outfit, so I did several iterations to try and identify the elements that I like most and worked best to convey her character. #dnd

Which one do you like best?

Pose reference from @jookpubstock.bsky.social
A picture showing three costume iterations of a half-drow woman. She has lavender skin, white hair and silver eyes, dressed in shades of blue, brown leather with silver accents and armor pieces.

Officially the stupidest thing I've drawn for my DnD campaign.

See alt text for context 🫶 #ryven

Based on the meme by @obtuse_engel
A young dark skinned man with darker hair (Roger) sits at a bar next to an older elf with pale skin and white hair (Urovos). They are facing away from each other, but muttering under their breath the same words: "I'd burn down all of Ryven to bring Sylvia back." Upon realizing this, they turn to each other, looking confused. In the next panel, they start kissing. (Roger was a bartender working for Sylvia who had unrequited feelings for her. Urovos was Sylvia's adopted father who misses his daughter very much. Sylvia was murdered recently and they would both commit unspeakable horrors to bring her back.)

Quick note on this one: Ryven is based on ~1910s Paris, so I look at a lot of fashion from that time period when creating my character designs. While the 1910s consisted of sleek designs with a fairly narrow shirt, there was a short break in 1915 where these kinds of fluffy skirts were popular!

A young woman stands in a playful pose as the wind hits her skirt. She has pink plant-like hair with lavender veins, which connect into her pale skin. She is growing several white flowers in her plant-like hair, including a very large white flower behind her long, elvish ears. She has numerous bright pink freckles and bold pink lips set in a joyful expression. She is wearing a white sailor dress with puffy sleeves that end at her elbows, and a pink collar with two white stripes on it. Her underdress is pink, and she is wearing dark pink pointy heels.

An older dwarf with deathly pale skin stands with his arms across his chest. He has a thick black mustache and neatly trimmed goatee, and long wavy hair to his shoulders. He is wearing a black shirt with golden jewelry over it resembling vertebra and a human ribcage. His black coat has lapels decorated with dark green and light green designs with golden embroidery on the lapels and on the edges of the coat itself. The coat has tails and a dark magenta lining. He is also wearing a magenta sash and wide black pants that seem to be of the 1860s style. His shoes are black leather with golden accents. One of his hands across his chest is turning to black marble at the end, and he has magical gold finger attachments to retain the mobility and sensation in his fingers. He is wearing a golden ring with a purple stone on his left hand.

I feel like I overuse long coats in my character designs, but honestly it's a fashion staple in the city, I only hope I made them all distinct enough 🙈

Happy #PortfolioDay! - I'm Decaf!! I primarily do character design and illustration. I’m actively designing in TTRPG spaces, although I've also done a lot of FFXIV art as well! I have a special place in my heart for drawing beautiful drow women 💜
On the right: This tarot card shows a man and a woman at a bar, sharing a loving gaze towards each other. The woman is a half-drow, with purple skin and long, wavy white hair. She is sitting on top of the bar counter wearing white, Edwardian style undergarments: a ruffly chemise, a corset, and drawers. Her hand sits on the man's shoulder. The man has dark skin and black hair, and holds her waist and thigh as his head rests near her breast. He is dressed in a bartender's outfit with a stiff collar, wide black tie and a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Behind them, the bar is made from wood and a myriad of glass bottles filled with alcohol line the shelves. The image is encased in a frame in the style of Art Nouveau, labeled as the Tarot 06: The Lovers. On the left: This tarot card shows a drow woman standing in the night, bright moonlight shining down on her. She is in the process of taking off, or putting on her hood. Her short, wavy white hair is lit by the moonlight, as well as the her nose, with the rest of her face covered in shadow. Her silver eyes seem to glow in the darkness, and her dark purple lips are set in a menacing smile. She is dressed in leather armor and a midnight blue gambeson, studded with silver like stars on the night sky. She has three belts on, two holding up a bag around her hips. Her hands are decked with silver, magical rings. The image is encased in a frame in the style of Art Nouveau, labeled as the Tarot 11: Justice. On the right: This tarot card shows a half-drow woman lying on the floor of a bookstore, dead. This is Sylvia Va'lens, an archmage, a proprietress of multiple business and an alumni of the Octoscholarum, who dedicated herself to research and philanthropy. She is shown bleeding from her eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. A quill lies near her left hand-- she seems to have been writing something before she was killed. Sylvia is dressed in classical mage garb for the city of Ryven: A crisp white shirt with a detachable black collar, a dark purple coat with slit, open sleeves and a vibrant magenta inner lining. Her long, wavy white hair is in disarray and her face is in a blank expression. The pink light outside the window indicates that the scene takes place early in the morning. A cloaked figure stands in front of the windows-- it is unknown whether this person is the assailant or a passerby who discovered the body after the murder. The image is encased in a frame in the style of Art Nouveau, labeled as the Tarot 16: The Tower. On the left: A woman floats above the dark sea at night. The sky is filled with stars behind her and she is surrounded by fluffy clouds. Her hands are spread out, as if she was basking in the moonlight. She has purple skin bathed in moonlight and her hair is white under the starlight. The woman is nude, except for the dark hood on her head which seems to transform into a shawl and cascade down over her elbows on either side of her. The cloth seems to acquire a cosmic quality towards the bottom, where the cloth turns pink and tiny stars appear. The woman has a halo of eight stars around her head, each star representing one of the eight schools of magic. The image is encased in a frame in the style of Art Nouveau, labeled as the Tarot 02: The High Priestess.

Recently, I hit 1.1K, so I was considering doing a giveaway. However, I'm not sure what to offer as a prize--

perhaps folks would be interested in an outfit design for their WoLs or OCs based on a particular theme?
