Finished piece is here! I was really excited to continue the style challenge after her and Alicia, so I plan to do a few more before moving on. Can't wait! :D #dndoc #originalcharacter #hades #stylechallenge #characterart #digitalartist #illustration #characterartist #digitalart #seaelf #sorcerer

Blue skinned sea elf is standing in flowing, light clothes. She is holding a trident with her arm made of water. With her other arm, she is reaching out, as if offering the two fish that are swimming in the air above her hand. The Hades game's art style was a heavy inspiration.

My beloved Areel (drow paladin, oath of conquest- well, now oath of redemption), who I dread drawing again because his armor is hard-- #dnd #dndart #dungeonsanddragons #art #oc

A character reference featuring two drawings of a character and a sword in a linearted, flat colored style. The character is a drow, with purple skin and curly hair, which grows uneven in one side that is scarred. The character has multiple thorns and vines growing from that side. The fullbody illustration depicts a very ornate armor in dark purple and pink tones. He is holding a sword with a rose motif, as well as a round buckler with a rose symbol in it. The fullbody has a horned helmet.

Here's a collection of 2024 and 2025 art on my end! And uh, hi, I'm Sygdom and I do a lot of fantasy-themed TTRPG digital art, with a focus on character dsign!

A digital illustration featuring a fullbody character over a plain grey background. The character is an air genasi (an air elemental of sorts), with smoking hair, dark blue skin and pink-ish crystals growing on him, as well as a purple eye with a dark sclera and half his face covered in said crystals. He is wearing a black tunic with silver and golden patterns, wielding a dagger that is sprouting a pelthora of hands, and has two wings with a nighttime-like colouration, with starts in them. He is holding a twisted, golden staff, and floating in the air.

A digital illustration featuring a fullbody character over a flat grey background. The character is drawn in a painted style. They are blue-skinned, with purple off-white hair and eyes with black scleras and white irises. They have finned ears and scale shapes across their body, like a triton. They have multiple long fins in their body and head. There are two large wings made of tentacles, like that of a glaucus atlantica, as well as a tail with few tentacle-like growths. They are wearing clothes in purple, silver and gold. Thei are holding a golden staff, and wielding an eldritch-looking sphere in the other hand.

A digital illustration featuring a full body character over a plain grey background. The character is drawn in a lineart style with flat colors. The character is a drow (a dark elf), with dark, desaturated purple skin, white curly hair, and six red eyes with no eyebrows, with a scar on their face and a tattoo. They are wearing a black, red and silver outfit, with multiple patterns. Their sleeves have spiderweb-shaped patterns. They are wearing tall heels with metallic trims. They have clawed hand jewellery.

A digital illustration featuring a fullbody character, standing in an ornated background with a flat perspective with an elaborate border in the form of two columns. The character is a drow (a type of elf) with dark purple skin and white hair, and light purple eyes. She has the hair arranged in a big ponytail, with bangs and sidebangs. She is wearing a full armor in a dark metallic color, and holding a stylized sword with a small skull and teal smoke wrapping it. She is holding a patterned cloth, that wraps around her. The entire drawing is rendered in a soft style and has warm tones, with ornate details both in the character and background.

An image for the art share. It has text below that reads "+3k ART SHARE" in caps, with a burgundry background. It also features a digital illustration of a halfbody character in a hatching-heavy style with a grey background and a burgundry circle framing her. She is a blue-skinned character with a long mantle and nudibranch traits, like those of a sea bunny, including some sensors in black with glowing tips. Her mantle wraps around her as if it was hair. She is wearing an armor that is made of organic shapes that form a myriad of holes. She is looking at the viewer elegantly and holding an orb that is smoking.

Continuing with the lineart + flat colors, struggling with the nonexistent pressure sensitivity and sweating a lot thanks to that, but worth it! So far I'm really happy with the progress! #dndart #characterart #WIP #digitalart #digitalartist #elf #seaelf #sorcerer #illustration #characterartist #art

Hello! Here's a piece I did for the Character Study Zine! Featuring the polycule, having their hopefully happy ending! Ft Yxala (the tiefling), Relent (the air genasi) and Urion (the drow/earth Genasi) 💖 #dnd #dndart

There are three characters depicted in a forest just besides a lake. They are wearing fantasy wedding outfits and are kissing the central figure, a demonic (tiefling) woman with horns and red skin. She is wearing a suit. The character on the left has smoking hair and a crystal arm, and there is a crutch in the floor besides him. He wears a tunic. The character on the right is wearing an ornate, iridescent dress, which is falling on the lake and partially floating. There are two tails embracing the characters.
