Character concepts of Irïn Y'eɪgal, my Light Domain Cleric (NG) for an upcoming Ravenloft campaign.

A Half-(Sun)Elf Cleric casts a Light cantrip by raising a warding hand sign. She holsters a shortsword at her hip while treading cautiously through a rocky ravine path. She wears a bright robe (wrapped and styled similarly as a saree) over a chain shirt with leather harnesses and belts. Her long, volumous, obsidian black hair is tied in a loose braid draping over her left shoulder, decorated and laced with a thinny chained headdress where a Parhelion Frontlet dangles from her forehead. Her attention is focused on the path ahead - bright eyes, lined in heavy liner wide and alert of any dangers that are ahead.

Bust of the half-(Sun)Elf Cleric. Her skin dark and tanned with mixed ethnicity. Her lashes and brows are dark, full and thick which emphasize her kind, calm expression.

We've been singing this song since we were 5. Stay enraged, stay safe and help your neighbours. Fuck ICE. ACAB. Punch Fascists. Eat the Rich. Black/Asian/Hispanic/Latin/Indigenous Lives Matter. Say Their Names. Free Palestine. Holy fucking shit. JFC.

Traditional pencil sketch of Michael Jackson. An excerpt of lyrics from his 1995 song, "They Don't Care About Us" is written crudely beside the illustration. It reads:

SKINHEAD, DEADHEAD, EVERYBODY GONE BAD, TREPIDATION, SPECULATION, EVERYBODY ALLEGATION, IN THE SUITE, ON THE THE NEWS, EVERYBODY DOG FOOD, BLACK MAN, BLACK MAIL, THROW A BROTHER IN JAIL - THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US!

My concepts of the Hawthorne Family ("Lightyear" 2022). It was such a small part of the movie that held incredible importance to me. These characters were the first queer family I was ever tasked to design in my career at the time (and I hope not the last...)

Some B-Side head sketches of my Giraffe Centaur. These sketches were the progression that lead up to the drawing in my last post.

Sketch of my clumsy af, Giraffe Centaur Fighter for a last minute DnD 1-Shot.

An adolescent centaur with very lanky, giraffe-like appearance charges forth while armed with a lance. He is tripping over a rock, stumbling forward with a shocked and dumbfounded expression.

Watcher Kaiden, my Occult Investigator for a mini campaign the incredibly talented @drewsoman.bsky.social is running. Is it a slight, over-exaggerated "self insert" character? Maaaaaaybe 👀 #characterdesign #characterconcept #dnd

A concept of my Satyr Storm Sorcerer from an old campaign, Boreas Thorn. #characterdesign #characterconcept #dndcharacter

Hand drawn art of a small satyr baring resemblance to a chital (spotted deer) ventures forth with a wooden staff in hand. The androgynous looking fawn's delicate frame is draped in felts of faded azure which are lined with thick white furs. Their speckled complexion is icy pale, cheeks and nose rosy from freezing temperatures. A cold wind ripples through their rimed, silvery white hair which frames two short horns revealing their adolescence. Melancholic expression washes over the young winter pilgrim's face while a single blue flower (fey in origin) blooms from their kinked and twisted staff; glowing in dim arcane bioluminescence.

A Ranger idea I had floating around in my skull for a while. [Read ALT text for more description]. #characterdesign #characterconcept

A white mouse, cloaked in a bush viper carcass to disguise themself as their quarry. Green serpentine leather drapes over their body and a viper head worn as a cowl conceals their identity to the best this crude disguise allows. Upon bursting open the cape, two sickles flash from their sides; they bear an uncanny resemblance to basilisk fangs. When this dual wielding ranger pulls back their macabre hood, we see an adorable rodent's face with large pink ears and heart shaped nose. The handsome huntsman does have a few battlescars from previous encounters with their sworn enemy; a scarred gash on their right ear with an eyepatch to follow on the same side tells a lucky story of survival against a serpent that got away.

Glint ✨ A Kenku Bard I would absolutely love to play again one day. . #dnd #characterdesign

A Kenku (Raven-like Humanoid) dressed in patchy clothes and studded leathers lurking forward suspiciously. His facial features cloaked by a hood, all except for the long, obsidian beak that shoots a mischievous smirk. Strings of silver bells (Tocken) dangle from his long, lanky arms while a rapier rests up on his hip. He wants more shinies.
