I drew a cover for a future short novel in a Callie's Heroes universe, featuring Pixyl, a fairy 🦋, Callie's partner 🌈, and by the looks of it a tiny murdermachine😈. (Litrpg) #art #bookcover #illustration

Arena. Pixyl (a fairy) is fighting several demons, fiends and imps that are being summoned by a warlock (off screen) with her ethereal blades.

-WIP- 🐲 BG3 fanart Lae'zel - Path of the Comet ☄️- The Dawn of fire (and blood) I've made some adjustments to the initial sketch. Feeling more or less satisfied with it. *Lae'zel (hopefully) approves #art #laezel #baezel #bg3

Lae'zel is choking/breaking neck/holding a Vlaakith's follower by her foot, preparing to strike them down with the silver sword.
There is a red dragon behind the gith. Scorched parts of bodies lay right beside.
Tav with the baby is on the left side of the picture.

Commission. Kryllith. Species and subspecies. human+alien hybrids exoskeleton biological/organic weapons diet: calcium rich food, carnivorous (mostly) #art #conceptart

"Kryllith are large, bipedal humanoids that possess a great deal of large ostioderm-like structures across their bodies, giving them a similar appearance to that of the exoskeletons or crustaceans of insects. However as far is commonly known they have more in common with mammals or reptiles than arthropods. They have a digitigrade leg structure, which end in clawed feet, as well as arms that end in five digit hands, often having claws on their fingers as well. In addition to their clawed limbs, they possess strong jaws and sharp teeth designed for tearing flesh. The carapace-like structures over most of their heads as well, even over their eyes, sometimes forming head crests or horns. It was once believed the Kryllith did not have eyes, but it turns out that the carapace growth over where the eyes lay acts like sort of a one-way see through visor, with vent openings to avoid the clouding of their vision through fogging up inside of the visor."

"Vampire child and Yearning for Motherly Love" The woman used to pray countless days for a child she could love and care for. One evening a lonely creature of the night heard them... #art #horror #vampire #oc

The woman used to pray countless days for a child she could love and care for. One evening a lonely creature of the night heard them. The little monster had some memories of the mother figure in her former life. However many years had passed since then, and the girl could recall only few tender moments, although maybe they were dreams and fantasies, all mixed up together, leaving a gaping crater in her unbeating heart. The girl felt an aching longing again. Perhaps that time she could relive the things that had been stolen long ago.

In the picture a vampire girl is hugged by a charmed victim, a mother figure. They are lying in the bed, partly covered in blanket. The woman is sleeping, she has puncture wounds on her arm. The child is trying to recall her past life with her mother.
Besides them is another victim, their face is covered by a bed hanging. A bloody small hand print could be seen over it.

2022, Kenku, Voice stealer-Attack at the Inn “Listen up. They call him voice stealer or collector. He is essentially a crazed individual, earned his infamy by stalking and maiming people with what he considers "beautiful voices", mostly bards, orators and such…” #art #dnd #ttrpg #fantasy #kenku #oc

They call him voice stealer, voice collector.

He is essentially a crazed individual, earned his infamy by stalking and maiming people with what he considers "beautiful voices", mostly bards, orators.
That twisted mind silences victims by magic and brute force, mimicks their voices perfectly. Who knows how many voices of how many souls he can imitate by this point.

Such a lunatic though managed to get some connections in a criminal world. Felons hire him to spy on somebody, deliver confidential messages, intimidate or assassinate targets.

His last work was at the inn "...". He broke into the room of that elven bard.
Luckily for that poor boy the waitress was bringing some supper to his place. She heard some commotion and didn't get fooled by the kenku guy using the voice of his victim. She caused a ruckus, and in a moment the whole inn, staff, guests, were upstairs in that room.
They saved the bard but the bird had already gone.

The elf is still recovering in the infirmary, so if you want to speak with him, bring quill and paper with you.
He is guarded, by the way, in case that freak wants to finish his job.
Tell them N sent you.

Talk to that waitress at the "...". She got a good look at the suspect.

You can try asking members of the Guild of Thieves, if they know something.
Be prepared though, they would definitely want something in return.

The Enchanted grove - Encounter The 2nd part “Tall and thin shape of a human was approaching. They seemed to be lost and malnourished…[] The person was coming closer and closer. A sword in their hands. Drops of blood on their robe. It was the previous contender.” #art #storytelling #oc

Tall and thin shape of a human was approaching. They seemed to be lost and malnourished, at first glance. Their clumsy gait and protruding bones were the confirmation of that. But the image settled in quickly. The person was coming closer and closer. A sword in their hands. Drops of blood on their robe. It was the previous contender, maybe 3 or 5 years older than kids.
The eyes of the weathered figure lacked any spark of recognition. Cold yet full of agonizing sorrow, they were looking absentmindedly forward, at something far behind the children. They were afflicted by the "madness of the forest king".
