Frostfire the fluffy, feathery frostwing dragon seen from above. Her body is covered in feathers with patterns that change like ice moving in water. She has hard-to-notice crackles in her horns and a teal streak under her eyes.

She is soaring through the air above a temperate landscape. Directly below her is a large lake in the middle of a forest. Some large rocks and trees dot the landscape. To her sides and below are clouds she is soaring by.

Working on my references for Art Fight this year -- on team Mystery ^_^ I still want to finish my character card for Art Fight, but at least I have some of the references done 🧡 #art #artfight2026 #teammystery #characterart

A very purple illustration of a tall armored woman holding a scythe in front of a foggy forest. Her scythe has a glowing eyeball and a ghostly fire. The woman has a beaked masked helm covering her eyes, feathered ears, glowing markings on her armor, taloned hands, and clawed feet.

A reference sheet for a tall armored woman. Her scythe has a glowing eyeball and a ghostly fire. The woman has a beaked masked helm covering her eyes, feathered ears, glowing markings on her armor, taloned hands, and clawed feet. Flat colored are off to the side for ease of use, as well as a front view of the markings on her armor, and her face.

A portrait of a woman wearing a beak masked helm, with feathered ears, feathers for hair, and a feathered cloak. She has two dark wings that are barely seen. There are glowing feathers on her face and neck. The mask has glowing pink markings.

A reference sheet of an armored man wielding a scythe. The man has early graying hair, with blue eyes. He wears a black cloak over his silver/gray armor. The cloak is clasped by a blue gem. He wears two pauldrons with a blue gem atop each. His breastplate has blue markings. He wears two leather belts, with a coin purse on one of the belts. He has dark pants and boots. The scythe looks like a judgmental bird with a piercing pink eye and a sharp beak for the blade. Colors are called out on the side for ease of use.

It has been a long while, Blusky!!! I have a lot of 2026 (and some 2025) art to share since I’ve been gone. I’m also on VGEN now ^_^ vgen.co/Arikin Here are a couple of recent works I’ve completed for myself or my clients. Hoping to offer full body concepts on VGEN soon

A messy illustration of a purple fairy with antlers, long wavy hair, a flowing dress, shorts, and boots hovering over the ground holding a lit pink lantern in her left hand and her right hand is placed on the neck of a large green one-eyed catlike creature with antlers atop its head, spikes down its spine, and vine like tendrils atop its head and under its chin.

The faerie is smirking and the creature looks happy.

A dark moonlit portrait illustration of an armored rifling smiling in the moonlight. She has small curved horns atop her head, eyes closed, and a joyful smile on her face. She wears two golden hooped earrings and her mesh chain shirt has a gold star at her neck. Her pauldrons and breast plate glow in the moonlight. In the background is simple foliage and messy fireflies.

A dark campfire lit portrait of a very sad ram-horned tiefling. She is grieving and tears drip down her face. Her eyes glow in the firelight. She has bangs framing her face and covering her forehead, and long wavy hair spilling down her back. She wears a choker necklace made of leather with a golden diamond and two fasteners in the center. A golden chain drapes down from the fasteners. She wears a fur shawl.

A moonlit portrait of a scared gnome who is experiencing her first shift into a not-quite werewolf. Her blonde hair shines in the moonlight, her tanned skin is in shadow, her right hand has claws and fur starting from the tips of her fingers. Her blue eyes begins to see yellow bleed in. A tear drops down her nose as she cries from the pain of the first shift.

My Sibling had me do a "roll for OC" and this ghostly kiddo is my roll. Nonbinary ghost/ghoul child. Took a lot of reference from Grell (Black Butler character) and some pins that got me wanting to try a more cartoony style than I normally do. I haven't named them, feel free to comment suggestions!

A fullbody concept sketch of a nonbinary glowing ghost child with floating straight red hair in a half up-half down hairstyle. Their face shows an almost smug expression with glowing blue eyes and a single sharpened tooth in their crooked smile. They wear a red long trench coat, a glowing chain moon necklace, a suit vest, suit pants, and multi-colored sneakers.

Did a portrait of my sibling's (Cherry_Trickster) DnD character Locke. Apparently it is National Drawing Day and while I couldn't make a decision of what to draw myself, I am always thankful to my Sibling for giving me prompts when I can't. #dnd5e #dndcharacter #art #characterart #arikin13

A portrait of a humanoid woman with long black feathery hair, piercing yellow eyes, and brightly colored beaded earrings with a crow feather. She has an almost bemused look on her face as she has one brow arched and a half smile. There is a golden hair clip in her hair. She wears dark brown leather armor that is very roughly colored in. The background is a gradient mix of lilac and yellow with a rough blend.

Did another D&D scene sketch We are in a giant library with some floating pillars and it has made for some interesting things. Our harengon is standing on our Goliath in order to read the directory and my earth genasi has rigged her rope whip as a harness from the floor above #dnddoodles #dndart

Different take on a self portrait... so here is me surrounded by my negativity with what little glow of creativity I still have, wilting, but trying to continue shining. #arikin13 #arikin13art #selfportrait #digitalartist #clipstudiopaintart

An excessively dark, red tinged abyss with a faintly glowing green and orange body in the fetal position in the center. Inside of the body is green leaves of varying colors, and a single tree with branches holding faintly glowing orange flowers. The glow is dimmed on most of the flowers. The person holds a single, wilting orange flower with barely any glow, but yet it still gives off enough light to brighten up the person a little.

Not... my normal style. Chose to use a very rough pen for this piece because I didn't feel clean fit the emotions I was creating with. Portrayed is my character Asha... it isn't perfect, far from it, but I think the emotion is there. Wishing for better days ahead, for health and hope and friends.

A green skinned face framed by dark green hair with orange to yellow to white eyes that burn with an inner and outer rage. The eyes glow with the anger and that glow spills onto the cheeks, nose, and strands of hair.

Watching EXU: Divergence and very much enjoyed a description of Crokas during battle and so gave an attempt at drawing him. #art #sketch #crokas #criticalrole #exudivergence #dragonborn #ttrpgart

Side view facing bust of Crokas, a character from Critical Role’s Exandria Unlimited: Divergence. A scarred Dragonborn with a bulge at his throat and an attempt at lightning shooting from his snarling maw. He wears tattered clothes and has some darker markings on his mostly white scaled body.

I struggle with motivation and habit building. This year I hope to do more than I did last year (practically nonexistent) so yesterday I pulled my tablet out and just started playing. I threw rules out the window and just tried. I don't know if I am done with this portrait or not, but I have tried.

Flat colored sketch of a right-horned half deer half human woman. She has Hollyhock flowers at her forehead and along a vine up her left arm. She wears a collar with a sparkling gemstone. Her eyes glitter in yet unseen light.

Roughly colored and shaded portrait of a right-horned, half deer half human woman. Dappled sunlight shines on her olive toned skin. She has furry downturned deer ears, and hollyhock flowers in her hair and on her left shoulder. Her eyes are brightly lit and there is a smile on her face.

Sketch of my yet unplayed character Alcea. Origin: Hollyhock flower (Alcea), Buff-thighed Puffleg Hummingbird (mostly for coloration), Muntjac deer Ancestry: Satyr for the statblock, but she's basically a half deer-folk? I love crazy D&D worlds. #art #dndart #satyrart #Alcea #sketch

Sketch of a deer-like woman with round eyes, downward turned deer ears, a single upward pointed horn above her right eye, and very puffy long wavy hair. She has a deer-like nose, a dark upturned upper lip. She wears a high collared top with no sleeves and feather decorations on her shoulders.

Fullbody sketch of a satyr-like female with cloven hooves on digitigrade deer legs. She has a smile, deer ears, and a single upturned horn above her right eye. She has a curved glaive in her hands. She is wearing a skirt and tank top.

I... have not done much drawing since 2023 so this is my biggest success for 2025-- I sketched a character and completed his portrait. Wuri -- Human Cleric/Sorcerer who looks like death warmed over #art #portrait #dnd #dndcharacter #dndcharacterart #humansorcerer #investigator

Posting some of my favorite art to start off my blue sky account ^_^ Haven't drawn in a long time so most of this is from 2021. These are some old portraits I still love. #art #portraits #dnd5e #pf2e #aasimar #dwarf #elf #lizardfolk

Portrait of a weathered, middle aged woman wearing heavy armor meant for color weather, gray hair drawn into a messy bun with bangs concealing part of her tilted head. Her skin is pale, in a deathly sense. She has two long scars stretching from her left forehead, across her nose, to her right cheek. Her eyes have a glowing white pupil, and her sclera are a raging thunderstorm with lightning dancing. Her name is Amnizi Nimraza.

A portrait of an elderly dwarven man with heavy wrinkles across his weathered face. He has very bushy, feathered eyebrows and bright brown eyes. His dark brown and gray hair is long and drawn back into several braids. Three feathers are pinned in his hair above his left ear. He has a dark brown and gray beard that reaches down to the bottom of his chest. Three braids of mostly gray hair decorate this beard. He wears simple leather armor with shoulder armor carved out of bone.

A young elven woman facing left with a gentle smile on her face as she looks down to the corner of the portrait. Her eyes are green. The shown right side of her face has two scars running through her forehead, over her eye, and ending at her cheek. She has three more less-noticeable scars on the back of her head, behind her right ear. The right side of her head of hair is shaved close to her skull, while the left side of her head of hair is barely seen in a large braid that drapes down her left shoulder. She wears leather armor glowing in the warm orange light, with a golden scale pinned at her collar.

A portrait of a screaming lizardfolk man. His head is turned towards the upper right of the portrait with a mouth wide in a hissing, snarling scream. His bright yellow eyes close from beneath a crunched brow, and spotted brown and yellow frills (similar to a frilled lizard) flare out from his skull. He is wearing green light armor that shows his chest and he has three scars across the middle of his chest.
