#d3podcast dungeons and dragons and uhh... dating? yeah that sounds about right characters (as ever) from @d3podcastshow.bsky.social
2D pixel sprites of the D3 cast and their love(?) interests. Thomas T Tompton, a copper dragonborn, awkwardly holds hands with the handsome Captain Bebo. Nathan Kaiber exchanges flowers with Kilnip, a small red kobold. Hench leans on the flowerpot of his massive, oxygen producing plant, which looks reminiscent of Audrey II. Mags Thatcher firmly sends away Roj, a handsome sahuagin holding the sexy sword, a muscular sharkfolk bashfully holding a bouquet, and Ragu the myconid.

something something back to my roots #d3podcast @d3podcastshow.bsky.social
2D pixel art of the D3 cast: Nathan Kaiber, a human rogue holding a dagger, Hench, a rock gnome casting a spell, Mags, an elf druid holding up a sexy sword, and Thomas T Tompton, a copper dragonborn. Kilnip, a small red kobold, holds up a piece of paper. The backdrop is a cliffside seascape.

2D pixel sprite of Lavender, a small goblin girl, wearing a multicoloured propeller hat and holding a lollipop.

"D&D is NOT fun, Dev! D&D is BAD and HORRIBLE!! Welcome to Ravenloft! ROLL FOR INITIATIVE!!" ...to the surprise of absolutely no-one at all, i enjoyed the premiere of #dungeonmasters a lot. #dnd #ttrpg #ravenloft #pixelart
2D pixel art of the Dungeon Masters player characters standing in front of a dark castle surrounded by pixel bats. From left to right is Crem, a rock gnome scientist, Zora, a hexblood elf sorcerer, Wesley, a drow cleric, and Eloin, a burly dhampir ranger.

wow what a fun little undersea trip with the whole squad i'm sure nothing bad is going to happen to any of them!! @d3podcastshow.bsky.social #d3podcast
2D pixel art of the D3 main cast and Kilnip underwater in their fish suits (fish onesies with old fashioned diving helmets and weights around their chests). Mags has a bottle of Kvas Taras feeding directly into her suit, and Nathan Kaiber's suit contains a small crab. In the background, a modified Mr Whippy van illuminates a shipwreck and some kobold remains. Inside the van is a plant that resembles Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors.

haven't had a lot of time for art lately (...or time in general) but i managed to lock in and get this out on time - happy valentine's day all! @d3podcastshow.bsky.social #d3podcast
2D pixel art of the D3 podcast characters in a pink ballroom. Kilnip and Nathan Kaiber are dancing together, and Thomas T. Tompton is twirling Captain Mason. Hench freestyles with Salt and Pepper, and Mags toasts Ragu the myconid with a bottle of Kvas Taras.

conquering my fear of drawing backgrounds one complicated scene at a time.... @devilligan.bsky.social @neilnewbon.bsky.social
2D pixel art of Dolly Whatnot, a redheaded dwarven girl, Dusty Bo-Nay, an undead lizard, and Sir Lora, a squirrel riding a skeleton cat, standing in front of the gate of Fort Joy from Divinity: Original Sin II.The same image but zoomed out so two stone towers are visible on either side of the characters.

no new sprites bc my life's been crazy busy but y'all can have some very self-indulgent bg3 doodles #bg3 #lae'zel
A black-and-white pencil sketch of my Tav, Lirael, kissing Lae'zel. Lirael is a wood elf with messy, shoulder-length hair, wearing the Helldusk armour and carrying a longbow. A slightly out of focus black-and-white pencil sketch of my githyanki Durge, Ll'irath, standing next to Lae'zel. The two are wearing their camp gear and have judgemental expressions.

rowan @arowantree.bsky.social · 18/01/2026
the image that was in my head the entire time i was making this (any calvin & hobbes fans here??)
An crudely edited Calvin and Hobbes strip (art by Bill Watterson). In the original strip, a snowball drops down in front of Calvin. He looks up and jumps in shock before being pelted with snowballs. The camera pans up to reveal Hobbes on a tree branch with an upside-down bucket. His speech bubble reads: "It's that moment of dawning comprehension I live for". In the edited version, Asra takes the place of Calvin, Bow'ee in owlbear form takes the place of the snowballs, and Astarion takes the place of Hobbes.

how do we make this a standard serving size everywhere 🤔

rowan @arowantree.bsky.social · 18/01/2026
ok new improved version because the owlbear looked jarring as hell in the last one. so nice you all get to see it twice #nobigneil #bg3 #dos2 "passing the torch" (loud noise warning - headphones users beware!)

+ just the sprites
2D pixel sprites of Tom De Ville and Neil Newbon's player characters for Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin II. Dolly Whatnot, a redheaded dwarven girl, stands next to Dusty Bo-Nay, an undead lizard. Asra, a purple tiefling in the Helldusk armour, is next to an upside-down Bow'ee, an elf in druid garb.

reuploading this segment because i've fixed some of the visual glitches from last night! probably going to take a break from this project for a little bit but as it stands i have about half of the full song animated and only ~30 secs still to block so!! there is progress!! #d3podcast

rowan @arowantree.bsky.social · 15/01/2026
i can only wish everyone else the same amount of confidence that i had when deciding that this was a sensible project to pursue at the same time as balancing two shows and regular uni work because i've just seen my rehearsal schedule for next week and suffice to say i'll be fighting for my life :')

you did a great job! drawing astarion's outfit is certainly not for the weak lol

first time during the mockup that they're actually starting to look like they're dancing :] #d3podcast (now off to add all the transition and smear frames.... and the background....... and three and a half more minutes of footage........)

some of my favourite sprites from the last couple days in honour of my completing 30 seconds of animation (out of a planned 4 minutes and 25 seconds but we ignore that) #d3podcast
Pixel sprites of the D3 cast (Nathan, Hench, Mags, and Thomas T Tompton) mid kick line, a dance move second only to the grapevine in terms of its overuse within amateur musical theatre choreography.2D pixel sprites of Devora Wilde banging her fist against what will eventually be a table but is currently a grey background. Eight kobolds from the D3 podcast arranged in rainbow order. Salt and Pepper the salty sea kobolds are notably larger than the other six.

Anything I can say seems quite hollow in the face of what's happening but I'm sending love and praying for peace. Hope you and your loved ones are doing okay 🫂

rowan @arowantree.bsky.social · 08/01/2026
my second favorite part about this is that i gave hench a comms headset despite him canonically being the only tech at the theatre. wasn't intentional symbolism on my side but i actually think it works quite well with the character

rowan @arowantree.bsky.social · 07/01/2026
my favorite part about this is how you can literally hear the exact moment i lose the will to live as i see the amount of background noise my computer mic has picked up

rowan @arowantree.bsky.social · 07/01/2026
so i am still working on a longer d3 animation rn but this idea kept cracking me up and i had to make it into a reality. hope you all like wildly inconsistent pixel width and image quality!! #d3podcast

new year new me same 3-5 fictional characters rotating around in my head at any given moment
Rough spritesheets of Nathan Kaiber and Kilnip from the D3 podcast. The first row features some key frames from Nathan's Met Gala experience - serving champagne, feeling hopeless, and holding legally-distinct-from-Sir-Ian-Holmes Ian Hollmes's hat - the second row is Nathan's walk cycle, and the third row is a side view of Kilnip holding up her painting and standing on tiptoe to blow a kiss.

last art of 2025 - happy new year all! #themightynein #m9 #criticalrole
2D pixel art of characters from The Mighty Nein, using designs from the animated show. Caleb Widogast and Nott are sitting next to Frumpkin, Mollymauk is resting his arms on the heads of Jester Lavorre and Fjord Stone, Jester is reading a copy of Tusk Love to Fjord, Beau is leaning on Yasha and Essek stands at the back reading a book. Four torches in torch brackets illuminate the stone wall and wooden flooring behind the characters.

completely forgot to mention in the main post but the explosion sprites were ripped from deltarune - i believe they are an edited version of a 1993 stock footage collection called "pyromania" - and the sub-mar-ine design is of course by neil newbon!

my flatmate just asked me what i was up to tonight and i felt like maybe "spriting an undersea mr whippy van" wasn't the answer she was looking for
A work in progress of the aforementioned undersea Mr Whippy van, a generic ice cream van covered in scratches and various plant growths.
