OC-tober Day 11: Betrayal Unfortunately wracked with madness my bard in my Icewind Dale campaign betrayed the party and marooned them thinking they were led into a trap by an NPC • • • • #octoberpromptlist #stormythoc_tober2026 #oc_tober2026 #artchallenge

This was a pivotal moment in our Icewind Dale campaign. Our party found the codecile of white, our sorcerer got frozen by a trap, our ranger was downed, and my bard Valzar who had recently been struck with madness thought our wizard NPC set them up and my was a Harper agent on a mission and he had to make tracks before the Frost maiden returned to see what's going on.

Stealing the mcguffin from the NPC dimension dooring out to get a head start down the mountain then the most heart breaking NAT 20 to convince our ride that the party fell behind we all were at the edge of our seats that night

Had a nice downtime session of D&D on Friday and I ended up drawings me and @kitsuneharmony.bsky.social characters who went from enemies to bestfriends

Ace and Valencia started out not liking each other and they constantly be at odds with one another, till they eventually had a duel.

After these two settled there differences they slowly started becoming friends. Once Ace found out Val had feelings for a certain "knight of the stars" (definitely not from snooping in their diary) She's now made it her secondary mission to help her bestfriend get her crush even if she teases her from time to time.

Life's been lifing but I return with more character art Meet the #dndcharacter Theadosia the dhampir enchantress.

Name: Theadosia
She/Her
Race/Species: Dhampir
Class: Enchanter Wizard

As I was listening to this song called tough lover I thought what if I made an enchantment wizard performer. And then next thing I knew I made a rival for my warlock Ambition. Most of her fit is inspired by 1920s flapper style with a healthy amount of pink.

I'm so excited I going to join a play test of Neon Odyssey with a few friends and I just finished making my character. Meet the #Dndcharacter Name: Edan Dendro He/him Race/Species: Gorgonite Class: Operative Scoundrel

A good bit of his design I based off Terry from Batman Beyond & Rick Deckard from Blade Runner. Fun fact in Neon Odyssey Gorganites have snake like features so I used a black mamba as a color pallette.

So the other day my D&D party was talking about character AUs in our discord chat so I made AUs of my character Ace Brimstone. #dndcharacters #au #characterart #originalcharacter #dnd5e

Backstory cliff notes: Ace's hometown was torched by a gang of outlaws parents end up passing away in the aftermath, she does some odd jobs to try supporting herself and her little sister, she joins a mercenary gang and the rest is history.

Lawman AU: Her backstory is the same however she instead joins the local law enforcement of her plane the Sterling Company (Think classic wild west sherrifs with a few of the Pinkertons from RDR2 mostly good some currupt higher up the food chain). Ace is a bit more clean cut sporting a nice little bowler hat.

Evil AU: Backstory takes a darker turn instead her entire family is taken out with nothing left to lose she joins the gang in order to get strong enough to take out the boss (Kinda Vinland Saga start) she becomes a cold blooded killer with little to no remorse.
