Konstantin got turned last session 🩸 #curseofstrahd

a man with curly black hair, red eyes and fanged teeth has a shocked expression on his face. his shoulders and half his face are cut off by the frame, only showing half of his shocked face. there's woobly wiggly lines in white and grey next to him, framing a small gathering of white figures around a white, bleeding body (the resurrection in the midst of a vampire transformation)
A small hungarian inspired gravestone plate next to it has the DM's quote "You take your first and final breath." quote inscribed on it. dhampir time!!!!!

i truly don’t think clem would notice someone having a crush on them if it hit them in the face i fear.. to be fair rin didn’t really know how she was feeling about clem either all she knew is that she was extremely envious of clem’s performance skills lol

[ wip ] I just missed my man so much, I had to draw him. 😔🤲💕 Experimenting with a softer colouring this time. [ #ocsky | #art | #dnd ]

Njal is my DnD / PnP ( TTRPG ) OC I played in a former campaign for about 2-3 years and in various oneshots. He is a Ganúàd that is comperable to Satyr and Firbolg in the DnD Setting. He's got a tint skin colour, while his cheeks and nose get a bit darker and show a bit of fur. His nose resembles those of a cow, connected to his lips. Both have a darker shade. He's got fluffy ears, also similar to a cow. He's got no freckles on his face but similar light spots on his cheeks, a bit like those of a faun's back. He is wearing a cozy poncho with patterns on it. Above it a bunch of necklaces with pearls, stones and monster teeths. Underneath a patchwork shirt and a knitted vest made by his mother. His pants are very casual and a light brown tone. His legs are partly hoobes and crossed. He is leaning against an ancient tree, eyes closed. His har is long and wavy put into a half pony tail. Many braids are braided intot eh hair with pearls in it. In the background you see a forest in dawning light, the sun shimmering through the tree tops just slightly.

A digital illustration of Maeve, an elf gal. The portrait is shoulders-up, with her body facing 3/4 (the most innovative pose) away from the camera and her arms crossed. She looks off to the right, the opposite direction her body is facing, with a soft, droopy smile. She has medium to dark brown skin with warm undertones, and her hair is made up of thick stylized braids that curl into small spirals on the ends.

八十八 | thinking abt ocs @ei8hty.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

HELLO! would you like to help me bring my cats back home and also get some cool art? I'm opening commissions to help fund my pet travel fees. Sketches start at 75USD, with discounts for sketchpages I'm also available for char design and other projects. Boosts are really appreciated!!! Thank you!

Here are my two silly girls, Marshmallow and Cheung Fun.

And here is the price I will have to pay to bring them home with me, 4972 CAD. (Not including additional fees)

I know it's a lot of money that I barely have, considering I've been unemployed for over a year despite trying to find a job, living off savings and occasional (and dwindling) merch sales/comms.
But they've gotten me through a lot and I'm not sure I would still be around without them, so I want to try my best to bring them along with me back home... (if failing that, I will try to rehome them with my friends, but this isn't confirmed)

I still have a few in person events to sell my merch at, but con sales have been quite bad lately for artists nor have I ever made a huge amount of profit from a single convention.

(btw, if you're from toronto and would like to support me in person, my next conventions are:
fanfest@home, toronto game expo, and a gachiakuta cup sleeve event I'm co-hosting)

I expect I'll need at least an extra 2~3k more than what I currently have/can earn. (thankfully I have a bit of money saved in twitch and patreon earnings)

the move is at the end of november...
the cool part is you can help us in certain ways!!!

I am once again offering commissions, please DM me for details! (paypal preferred, vgen available)

skeblike sketch style starting at-
b/w: 75USD
coloured: 100USD
(base price halfbody)

Sketchpages (3+ of the same character/s): 10% discount per drawing
NSFW/private commissions: +10% fees
commercial fee: Please inquire with parameters

Please note that my turnaround time may be a bit longer, especially with my upcoming move.

character design starting at-
clean: 200USD
sketch: 150USD

I'm also open to bigger projects such as short comics, short animation memes, l2d model art, or pngtubers. (however the turnaround time for those might be a lot longer...)

If you can't afford a commission right now, that's fine!
If you can donate a little bit, you can send some money through kofi at ko-fi.com/ei8hty8

You can also join my patreon at patreon.com/ei8hty, starting at just $1!

If you can't spare any money at all, I appreciate you reading through this!

You can still help by:

- reposting this so my next commissioner can find me!
- dropping by my stream at twitch.tv/ei8hty8_ when I go live!
(I will be trying to stream any comms I get from this)
- boosting my art in general, especially my webcomic posts
(and read my webcomic red rabbit!!!)

i feel like out of the two rin is kind of an obsessed freak and she can be kind of obvious about it esp when them and clem get more comfortable with each other but clem is like so much more nonchalant LMAO they’re definitely gay for rin and freak out on the inside but clem is deadpan forever <3
