Tskìlo, Olo'eyktan of the Sarentu. He loves nothing more than exploring with his clan and watching Rio grow into himself. His paint is based on his favourite animal, the cloaked panther. The feathers were a gift from Ri'nela to mirror his mother

MINOR SPOILER FOR THE DARK URGE ORIGIN

My boy Orion in the peak of his Dark Urge days. He's sweet when given the chance to be, but Father was never too keen on sweetness.

Thought I might give posting a go again!
So here's a new dnd character of mine: Quin, a Sea Elf College of Swords #bard. He's got the pirate background and is also a #harper (but don't tell anyone that bit)

To mark finishing Astaroth's #bauldersgate3 campaign, I drew him and his (now husband) #galedekarios together

Roth is my favourite bg3 character so far, so finishing him was devastating! You can expect more of him soon

I swear I've been drawing, but it's all spoilers for this guys backstory, and most of my #dnd party follows me, so you're getting some low effort outfit designs for him

My first #bauldersgate3 character Orion "Ori" [Left] and my latest Yesmryn [Right]. They're both #darkurge 's, because of course they are!

1/2 The Third Space series

My story has two sets of three siblings with one space different from the other two.

This is Alistair and Kieran, with their middle sister, Caoimhe.

Their Third Space is the one missing

I realised I've only drawn Cappuccino once and have never drawn Kai, so have them looking at each other all corny and lovesick cause they're idiots (for each other)

Unfinished, just the flats

#art #digitalart #procreate #originalcharacter #oc #lgbtq #trans #ftm #mtf #t4t

Shows a man and a woman nose to nose, the woman is grining with her eyes closed, the man is smiling lovingly at her with his eyes closed. The woman is dark-skinned with pink puffball hair and bright make-up. The man is pale with dark blue eyes and long hair in a ponytail dyed red to orange ombre. His has a large scar that takes up most of his back and face and has a mechanical arm.

This is Kieran and Alistair and their lost sister, Caoimhe. She was the middle child and the bridge between her bothers two extremes. Her loss haunts them always

I've not given my boy Alistair anywhere near enough love, so here's his updated redesign. He's Kieran's oldest sibling and is one of my favourite characters

Any questions, feel free to ask 💖

I've been working out what Kieran's armour looks like in stages: this is his underarmour padding and boots along with his (unfinished) greatsword.

He's my best boy and the mc of my comic 💖

Some background masterstudies I did in uni yesterday. I'm pretty proud of these because I usually hate backgrounds

Quick sketch of a scene from my story (he's fine, I promise....)

I drew the same scene years ago to practice cell shading and decided she needed a revamp

I hope to post the coloured version soon

Finally remembered to finish this drawing of my Tav, Astaroth, featuring my favourite companion

The first is in-game, the second is when he was younger

Does anyone have any recommendations for getting into making comics/graphic novels?

I'd love to start making short ones as practise for the story I want to write some day, so any help would be appreciated 💖

Next for the redesigns was Marco, secondary antagonist in my story, Sorcha's other father and Kieran's ex-husband. He's a sweet and caring person when he puts his head to it, but can be unthinking and oblivious most the time

I finally got round to designing the base for Sorcha's armour. I'll probably refine the details later but she looks terrifying enough for now

The main antagonist from my story finally got their redesign after like 4 years, the poor guy. Their name is Alcocer, and they will bite you and probably give you rabies

Enjoy!

Zarkiirik and his younger (half)brother, Lokemoss, one of the few people that can get past his prickly exterior and Infernal appearance

Zarkiirik's vigilante persona, known on the streets of Baulders Gate as 'The Creature'. To high society, corrupt city guard and other low life's he's an omen of death, to the poorest he's a saint of retribution.
