#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) u know it's bad for you when the urchin you're trying to take care of is asking people to take care of YOU
A grayscale drawing. A child seriously puts their hand on a halfling man’s shoulder. They say, “Polliver?” He answers, “yes?” They continue, “can you look out for winn? While you’re out of town?” With a very weary expression: “they need all the help they can get.”

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) Valerra's Very Accurate Review of Winn's Friends
VALERRA'S REVIEW OF WINN'S FRIENDS 

Polliver: Very reliable, very scammable
Serado: Unscammable, the only person less reliable than Winn
Hilde: Clearly reliable, unscammableValerra: ... and then there's this guy. 

WINN: unreliable, too easy to scam

Valerra: It's not even fun, they just... give me stuff. Clearly they need someone to look out for them, or who knows what they'd give away!

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) poor nixa is trying her fucking best to understand what the Fuck is going on with Winn + their friend + the child that hangs around them
A grayscale image of three people cleaning up a graveyard. The text labels them: FORMER LOVER THEIR EX-NAVY SAILOR FRIEND (?) (THEIR?) 12 YEAR OLD CHILDA woman stands looking at this. The text box notes she’s trying to figure out the situation. She asks, “so… are you guys… partners?”They all stars at her blankly. The sailor says, “Partners…?” The former lover says, “huh? No…?” The child just looks.A closeup of the woman’s face. She says, oh.” While WHAT IS HAPPENING? floats over her face.

#HELLBREAKERS still trying to figure out ethran, drew one of those charming moments where winn expects nothing and is shocked when they receive kindness they don't need to beg for
A grayscale drawing; one person scratches the back of their neck. They say, "So, I'm sorry for getting your breakfast just to ask a favor, but... would you mind sparring with Valerra every few days while I'm away? I just--"

The person next to them, eating a doughnut, says, "Sure. What are you drilling her on?"

Winn shocked face. "oh. really? uh, thank you."

my dnd half elf from the in person (!!) game i was really hopeful about last year 🖤 we only got one session in before the dm flipped his lid but i still miss my quirked up guyyyyyy
Digital sketches of a half-elf adventurer, dressed in grimy clothes and actively dirty. His hair is scruffy and tangled in the present, but a little sketch in the top-right shows him cleaned up just a few years before now.... a sketch at the bottom has him confronted by one of his creditors. He says nervously, "Oh! Davie! How goes it, how's your mom? Yeah so I JUST got paid, saved it for you of course--" (this is a lie.)

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) festival day continues
A child in a floppy hood eats a pretzel and says with her mouth full, “… so, yeah, Xerra gave me the coat. I’ve been getting them to gimme free breads and stuff, too!”

Winn, nodding which a narrator box points to them and says, “asked xerra to feed her while they were gone.”

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) thinking about winn and valera's festival day nonstop. her worrying about whether they can afford the things they're giving her... ;_;
A child poses dramatically while a person with piecemeal armor observes. They say, “I like the, uh, ears. Is it supposed to be a wolf? Cute.”

The child responds, “NO, it’s FIERCE. It’s a goblin bat!”A child in a floppy hood eats a pretzel and says with her mouth full, “… so, yeah, Xerra gave me the coat. I’ve been getting them to gimme free breads and stuff, too!”

Winn, nodding which a narrator box points to them and says, “asked xerra to feed her while they were gone.”A child in a cape with big floppy ears thinks, “can they REALLY afford this? Their armor’s crap and they quit their dock job…” while beside her a person in not very good armor thinks, “what do kids like…? What did I like? What do I like…”The kid turns, saying, “I’m good, actually.”

The person in armor looks dubious but says, “okay.”

Decided to step out of my comfort zone to design a whole fay inspired rapier for my dear Faas, my rogue-warlock. I will make a better layout for it but I am pretty happy with the design! #swordtember #art #conceptart #DungeonsAndDragons #DnD
Page for a rapier concept art on a simple gray background. 
On the far left there is a basic rapier, on its side, the same but seemed to have gone through a heavy rusting losing great part of the original structure. At the right of them the same rapier, now transformed into a magical weapon, where pieces of the blade seemed to have grown out of the rust of the previous one. Also the guard is transformed and something bloomed out of it embracing the pommel at the top. 

At the extreme right there's a close up to show the details of the transformed pommel, and at it's bottom different trials of how the fay magic would transform it. 

Scribbled text and grids everywhere as note taking during the design process.

#HELLBREAKERS (chapter 3) in which serado observes a conversation & hears an interesting word (1/3)
A crowded tavern. A tiefling man faces away from the viewer. he thinks, “who is that woman? Why do I know her face? Where did I meet here…?”The man remembers. “Ah, that’s right.” He thinks of a ballroom he can see only from behind the archway. He was not invited. The woman is Helia Belunne, matriarch of house Belunne. He finishes his drink, thinking. “What’s the matriarch of a chelaxian noble house doing in a tavern in the middle of Isger? S’pose it’s up to ol’ serado to figure it out.”The man walks outside. He goes behind the tavern. He takes off his belt scarf, and tucks it around his neck, as it shimmers with magic and transforms his appearance to an ordinary human man. A descriptive box notes, “masquerade scarf - allows the wearer to assume an illusory disguise for an hour once per day.” He thinks, “damn useful, this thing is.”Back in the tavern which is noisy and crowded. The two women are still talking. The man leans against a pillar. He thinks, Damn, can’t hear a thing over this racket.

One woman stands, and puts something on the table.

A close view of her hand obscuring it. He thinks, what the hells is that?!

Wurm did survive the last session of book three of blood lords, so that means new fit going into book four!
Coloured drawing of a fleshwarp woman. Her right arm is covered a mass of fleshy centipdes crawling all up to also make up her hair, her face is left untouched and the top of it is covered by a large black brimmed hat. She wears a large cape with a frilled end, that she holds open with her left arm, showing her outfit consisting of a white top and bright red leggins covered in black diamonds. Most notable though is the vast amount of clutter of equipment around her waist hanging from several belts.

#sojournuzbekica Some interesting textile notes!
An illustrated sketchbook page titled "Textiles & Carpets" breaking down traditional Uzbek rugs and fabrics. The top row shows hanging samples of Shyrdak (felt mats), Kilim (flat-woven), and Gilam (tufted) carpets alongside chibi-style characters explaining each technique. The bottom section features three detailed textile patterns labeled "Suzani" (floral embroidery), "Ikat" (vibrant dyed weaves), and "Zardozi" (ornate goldwork).
