Tfw you significant other is bearing the weight of the champion of undeath and split from the rest of himself, but all you want to do is smooch him and make it better. Much harder to do without a face. #dndart

Two figure portraits, a female elf with large braids with her hands on either side of the face of a male elven figure with white hair and black armor whose face is instead a dark, starfilled void. Her expression is filled with worry and care as she stares where his face should be.

I still need to post more of my artfights, but I'm still thinking of last night's DnD game... Our party got pulled into unreality and 'split' into component parts of ourselves. For Neera, she was split into her fey and elven halves, which she has...a normal amount of feelings about.

A colored illustration of 4 figures- the two on the left are a faun character, one running with a cheerful smile and the other standing and miffed. She has large, multicolored bee wings,curled antennae, large amber eyes and a fluffy ruff. She wears a green corset and golden, honeycomb patterned fabric that drapes between the front and back.
The two figures on the right are an elven woman in a long blue dress with long sleeves. One has a nervous expression and appears closed off, while the other is spinning and smiling. They have long hair separated into pigtails with large, rounded box braid, a circlet, and light green eyes.

It's still May...barely. Wanted to draw a pair with Neera and Rus, since I did one with Sierra a few years ago. #mermay

A colored illustration of 2 mermaids swimming together. One is a seal merman with his pack to the view, looking into the eyes of the mermaid, who is brightly colored and based on a sea slug, with pupilless amber eyes, curled yellow antennae, and colorful wings. She smiles at the merman.

Last session through big magic shenanigans Neera ended up looking back so far in past she saw the creation of their reality...creation by Tiamat, but not the evil, destructive Tiamat she has grown up to understand.

A colored illustration of Tiamat, a 5-headed dragon god, above a sea of rainbow clouds. There is a pathway littered with stars leading up to her, and her wings outstretch behind her 5-heads.

It has been awhile since I did a tarot version for Neera, and with recent revelations The Star has become more and more fitting. Just gotta keep ahold of hope, even when surrounded by the dark.

An illustrated version of the tarot card The Star with an elven figure in the center, reaching up towards a large start in the sky. She holds a rapier in her right hand that casts ripples in a stream that stretches behind her. She wears mage robes and has large, colorful bee wings behind her, and a bee flies around her hand as if reaching for the star itself.

I have been bad at posting here- let me try to remedy that a little. First off, a Draw this OC in your style on the Satan Server, this time for sparklecutie/snowlizard of their undead warlock Adhrit and his patron- looks spooky, but really he just wants to hug his favorite son.

An image of a skeletal mag with his hand raised as if to cast a spell, with a floating skull for a head wreathed in frame. Behind him is his patron, a floating ramlike skull with a purple halo and flame eyes, hands outstretched as if to embrace or control the skeletal mage.

Last DnD session ended on a cliffhanger- all the party members with missing memories from fairy had them rushing back as they awoke. Neera has been missing all memories and connection with her family- safe to say she's a little overwhelmed at the moment.

A colored illustration of a female elf with midtone skintone, yellow antennae, amber eyes and a simple tank and pants outfit sitting with her arms wrapped around her, crying. Surrounding her are images in hexagon shapes of a younger version of the elf with her mother and father throughout her life- some happy, some sad. In the middle is a quote- 'You have parents. They are not perfect, nor without fault. But whatever their flaws, you'd forgotten their existence... and all of that love and connection now comes swirling back."

Sometimes you see an hsm promo photo shared around tumblr and you have a need to draw an OT3- my character Neera in the middle, with Sierra (NPC) and Rus (Another player's character). Not sure if this will happen in game, but I can hope lol.

A colored illustration of three figures cuddeled together- the middle figure is Neera, an elf with amber eyes, curled antennae, short brown hair, star-shaped scars along her left arm and blue and gold robes. She looks up at Sierra, a buff human woman with dark skin, dark black hair in a ponytail, and weathered armor, who reaches out a hand towards Neera to touch her face. To Neera's right is Rus, who looks up at Neera, has pale skin, white hair, gray fox ears and black and blue armor.

Art meme showcasing a scribbled circle on the top left which says just make it exist first, with a messy sketch of a scene to the right.
Bottom right reads you can make it good later with a perfect circle, and to the right the same scene but fully rendered and colored of a crowd in a cathedral with backs to the viewers, with dragons rushing in and a hooded figure raising a scythe at a terrified priest.

We were surprised by a few new, unwelcome guests to the Kings funeral in DnD- the Pillar of Nerull and his pet shadow dragons, as well as a life draining curse originating from the Kings dead body and aimed at all his descendants (even the babies!) We are working to save them all!

a long cathedral filled with people, with their backs turned towards the viewer and instead towards a coffin. Stained glass lights the back of the room where a hooded figure has burst in, scythe raised towards a terrified priest. 3 dark dragons run down the stairs to the crowd as dark magic starts to burst from the coffin.
