been really enjoying my analog set up where i just shove projects into this little clear plastic box and then draft via index card, then type up and print for edits (different colored clips to sort different WIPS) (pencil case by daifei via heretic.house)

SENDRIN for the "Tragic Backstories" comm series. He is so handsome, was a blast to draw his beard. Friend of mine kept referring to him as "hot dark elf dracula hysterectomy daddy" so lol. He is mythic an tragic and @holliism.bsky.social does great work with him🙏 #art #illustration #oc #dnd

A handsome, well built elf with dusky lavender skin and long black, grey-streaked hair stands noble before a background of twilight skies and the gothic tracery of a cathedral-like arch. He has a well kept trim beard and moustache, pointed ears, and is undressed to the waist, wearing only dark leather pants, boots, and a bit of gold jewelry. In his left hand, he holds the decapitated head of another elven man, dripping gore. In his right, a cruel, jagged ritual knife. Blood runs down from his own lower abdomen, a horizontal slit across his lower belly, between his hips. In the cathedral carvings, lost trapped souls beg him for mercy. His name, "Sendrin", is on a cloth banner at the bottom of the page.

MYRO the werecrow grave cleric for @teakepp.bsky.social! I always love an excuse to draw a swamp, and so their backwoods bayou baba yaga was a blast. #art #illustration #dnd #commissions #oc [my commissions are open, if you would like a piece, prices and queue are in my pinned post]

A lanky, pake, red-headed figure stands waist deep in black water, their hair streaked grey with wisdom and experience. Their eyes glow a pale green, the same color of the magic drifting out of the corpse of the leucistic crow they are tending to, levitating gently under their care. Dark trees and moss frame the image.

SLY for @wob.bsky.social completed for the TRAGIC BACKSTORIES commission series. Thanks for lettin me draw her! Tbh im so proud of this lamb, though I know that well. Aint nobody lookin at that lamb when Sly is such a stunner 🫣😉🤎 #art #oc #commission #illustration #fantasy

A soft, full figured woman with thick red hair and pale, flushed skin kneels amidst glowing candles, her gaze towards the heavens and her hands pinned together with a dagger, as if in prayer. She holds a sleeping lamb in her lap, and dark blood from her wounded, stigmatic hands soaks her translucent white dress. Smoke swirls behind her, candle flames burning ritual-red. The gauzy texture of her gown sticks softly to the pink blush of her nipples, her knees, her delicately tattooed upper arms. Her expression is strained in pain, devotion, and a search for absolution, one eye dark and the other pale blue.

Been doing little daily fountain pen sketches in the past few weeks I might share at some point, but in the meantime,, Here are two that I'm fond of: [OCs: Marsh, Andrei #fruitofsin #newtsocs]

square sketchbook page with a line drawign of a long haired androgynous person holding up a flame shaped dagger horisontally in front of them and smirking at the viewer. On the rigth side of the page there are strange symbols drawn.

a drawing of a young man with a hooked nose and tired eyes done in simple lines inside a small sketchbook.

AVERY for @ganelon08.bsky.social, resolved to stand firm and do his best despite the horrors around him, the horrors enacted upon him. #art #dnd #cos #commission #commissions #illustration #dndoc #paladin #curseofstrahd #2D

An illustration comprised of 4 panels, in the style of a church's altarpiece. The top center panel shows a steadfast knight, an aasimar paladin with long blond hair resolutely gripping a zweihander, dressed in a beige tabard with blue crosses, a blue cloak, and armored gauntlets, pauldrons, and a simple gorget, worn over chainmail. He is wistful of the suffering in this place, but resolved to do what he can. He is flanked on the left by a painting of Castle Ravenloft, on the right by the mountains of Barovia. The bottom panel shows him prone, stripped to the waist, looking over his injured shoulder at the viewer, two wounds in his back from where his angelic wings have been ripped out, the slits left behind bleeding red and gold.

NIHIL for @unseeleigh.bsky.social !!! Ugh such a sad beautiful undead boy, thank you for letting me work on him! #art #illustration #commission #dnd #dndoc

A 2D illustration of a pale young man with an autopsy scar going down his chest. He is flanked with other versions of himself in varying stages of decay, failed experiments by his benefactor in search of the perfect version.

CARMEN for @axeartifex.bsky.social / toogaytolift on tumblr for my TRAGIC BACKSTORIES commission series! Babygirl your story is so sad and I love you so bad. There is tenderness though, within the horror. #art #commissions #dndoc #changeling #illustration

A woman with greyish pale skin is wearing a tattered white gown, and spectral hands tug at her wrists, snare her by her throat, and gently caress her cheek. The body the changeling wears is the slack, dead-eyed visage of a red headed woman, stiff with recent death. The face cracks like a glass doll shell, and reveals the terrified self beneath it, grey-pale face scarred and mutilated with a past maiming, one pink eye locked on to the viewer with a kind of manic distress, as the beautiful face she wears remains slack and serene and dead.

ELTON for @jelliclejay.bsky.social, poor carrion meat prophet of a thing, for my "TRAGIC BACKSTORIES" commission series. Thanks for letting me work on him! #art #illustration #commissions #horror

A pale young man lays on his back in the woods, eyes open and glowing faintly, attention rapt and overwhelmed into his visions, as four large crows devour his body. The bottom panel features a quote from the author Jay Kang Romanus, "The entrails lay heavy across the threads of time, soaking them in possibilities and truth", the words dissappearing into a dark forest.
