A couple of small plague doctors. Been trying to draw a little bit every day and honestly, it's doing wonders.

A "chibi" style plague doctor, ghostly hands held in front of her.

A "gremlin" style plague doctor, hands held out to her side in an 'enthusiastic' or 'alarmed' manner.

Couple of mood pieces for Lysabet after some emotional roleplay within the community. I'm starting to get back into a 'do personal art more than once a month' groove and it's feeling pretty good.

A plague doctor character covering her masked face with her hands in a show of distress. Her outfit is green and brown, and her mask is metallic with red lenses for eyes. Two red vials are attached to her belt. An ornamental skull pins her cloth mantle to her shoulders. Her arms are ghostly, wrapped in black bandages. Her fingers are long and glowing, providing an odd lighting to the image.

A plague doctor sits solemnly in the grass at night, surrounded by moths. A moth has landed on her ghostly, glowing hand. Mountains can be seen in the distance, underneath two moons of different sizes, one blue and one white. The entire image has a sorrowful, thoughtful vibe, despite the subject matter being greatly unemotive.

Our VTT group finally met the current "big bad" this evening so I can share this, now. My spouse's creation, "The Supervisor", a scientist doing rather rational and completely legal experiments in a very unsettling way that the PCs don't like.

A grim, armored figure cast in yellow lighting, shrouded by thick fog. His shoulders are adorned with ornamental visages of skulls, while his arms are crossed indifferently. He wears an oni half-mask and a yellow hooded cloak. His facial features are obscured by further masking, but blue eyes peer from the dark in a distant expression.

A couple of lil' pieces I've done lately. One on the right was done like a week ago; featuring Lysabet and my spouse's character, Mort. :> Left one was a speedpaint I did tonight after wrecking my ribcage in an exercise accident. Ow.

A spooky hastily-painted chest-up portrait of a plague doctor peering ominously through a tear in her witchy hat with one red eye. A skull ornament keeps her cloth mantle secure. From below, there is a ghostly teal light; from above, a forboding purple glow. She is facing the camera.

Two plaguedoctors stand side-by-side, both with their hands pressed together. One is dressed elegantly in red, with black gloves, an old-fashioned cravat, and a metal white plague doctor helm. The other dressed in a brown cloth mantle with a witchy hat, a leather head-covering with a metal beak, and has ghostly hands and a small skull ornament. There is no real emotion here, it's just silly.

A reference sheet for a spooky plague doctor character with ghostly hands. Includes displays of her items (a staff that can become a ghostly scythe, a spellgun, and a lantern), as well as a display of her magic usage, gestures, and vials that she often uses. There is also a cat named Echo.

reference pages + concepts for Gunob! a fun challenge was wondering how a nerubian could emote and sit, so i wanted to give it a shot.

An expression sheet and size chart for an undead nerubian named Gunob. He has a happy face (left), a sad face (middle), and a flustered/surprised face (right). The eye glint serves as a "pupil" in a place where a nerubian would have none. He is listed at 7'2" in height compared to a 6'6" elf. The text on the right reads:

In an attempt to communicate better with Overcrawlers, Gunob will attempt to mimic their expressions. He is aware of how uncanny it is, but he finds it far better than just staring at them. And creeping them out further.

Certain things he says will associate with his expressions as well.

A reference page depicting how a nerubian could sit (featuring Gunob). The page is titled: Casual Settings, with a description that reads:

In places with limited space, Gunob will sometimes sit and fold or "loaf" his legs to conserve space. However getting up from this position can be a hassle. Best to give him some room to avoid getting knocked over.

Various items featuring a cup suitable for nerubian mandibles and a "morsel bite" which is a doughy bun filled with obscure meat and jam.

Hi I'm still alive here's the cultbreaker 'bout to do business with a cult. I like this outfit, a lot. Inspired a little by the Bloodborne playthrough I'm struggling through atm.

A spindly semi-androgynous character walks forward aggressively with a magic pistol in one hand and a vial of something golden and glowing in the other. She wears a longcoat and a three-point wide-brimmed hat, with vials and a ghostly lantern on her hip. Her glaring, teal-colored ghostly eyes give the impression that she's about to angrily hurt someone.

A thing for #makeaterriblecomicday about my D&D character that one day saw something in the Mere of Dead Men. Reuploaded to fix a typo in the alt text and in the tag.

A terribly drawn comic that relays a story.

Panel 1: The text says "My character saw something she shouldn't have." The image is of a natural 20 on a d20, and a rogue looking confused.

Panels 2 and 3: The text is split between the panels. It says "A little girl we had rescued was somehow keeping the undead hordes of the mere at bay." The image shows the rogue looking down at a young, unassuming child, then looking up at a horde of zombies that're just standing there.

Panels 4, 5, 6: The text says "The child then noticed my character staring". The text is split up between the three panels. It shows a little girl with red eyes glaring off-screen, then looking up without red eyes with a perplexed expression, at the rogue, who looks scared.

Panel 7: The text in this panel says "Alice decided not to tell the others. It was the right decision." The image shows an adventuring party cheering in the background, while the rogue looks down with a LOT of worry at the child, who has their back to us.

🎨 💛 #PortfolioDay! :D I'm Taaaaaaaaam, I do a lot of Pixel Art mostly these days, mainly a lot of icon work but sometimes big pieces!

A large pixel-art piece depicting a ghostly environment of lost souls in the Sea of the Damned. The left side has a waterfall littered with various ship's masts and shipwrecks, flags flowing in the wind. On the right, a broken stone fortress and a large derelict lighthouse. In the middle, across the water, is an opening into the real world, with a bright blue sky and sun shimmering across the sea, some islands in the distance. All in various shades of blue to green.

Digital Pixel Art Piece, showing a Sea of Thieves inspired scene in a bright selection of shades of blue and white.
A sloop soars in from the left, crashing against the waves, as a pirate up front points ahead at the incoming cannonball firing towards them from the Skeleton Fortress ahead on the horizon, across the bumpy waves. A giant skull-shaped cloud looms above the fort, among the other fluffy clouds, with the text in the sky reading "Happy 7 years!".

A collage of four main icons of Pixel Art Pieces I have made of Shovel Knight main characters, accompanied by their in-game portraits beside them for comparison.
These include, a knight in blue armour with orange horns, wielding a shovel. A plague-doctor like character with a green mask, blue cloak, holding a potion of purple liquid and purple smoke. A death-like figure with a red swirling cloak, golden armour, and a giant red scythe over their shoulder. And lastly, a knight in shining gold armour, flowing white beautiful cape, and a crown as part of their helmet atop their head, sparkling.

A small resolution pixel art piece of the head of the Mona Lisa painting, made using 5 over-saturated colours, those being a bright yellow, an orange, a pure magenta, a pure deep dark blue, and a pitch black.

A discolored, potentially undead woman stares with alarm or incredulity at the viewer. She's wearing a white/brown/gold cravat, old-fashioned jacket, and a wide-brimmed hat. A pale gold glow lights her from underneath.

A bust of a skeletal wizard who seems to be smiling. Purple is the dominant color of his robe and wizard hat, with little animal skulls on his shoulders.

“Misty Woods”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a dark, closed-in forest with breaks of sunlight and fog. Streaks of light shine through the dense canopy as a small, hidden feline watches the surroundings from a safe enclosure.

“Autumn Stream”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a forest in autumn. A dramatic sunset and gathering clouds fill the sky, with rolling hills of colorful trees. A slightly rushing stream cuts through the clearing towards the viewer.

18”x24” oil painting of a nebula in red and orange, above a dark forest in shades of purple, blue and black. A cozy campfire brightly lights a clearing next to an old log, and reflects on the surrounding trees. A rushing stream cuts through the forest.

18”x24” oil painting of dark, jagged mountains amongst a cloudy, stormy sky. The clouds are sweeping across the largest mountain in the center of the painting. A break in the clouds from the upper-left casts a semi-golden light down on the landscape. Pine trees and a shallow pond sit in the foreground.

Howdy, #PortfolioDay! I'm Batty, primarily a digital artist (but I dabble in traditional paints). I make character art for friends and visual aids for my own VTT group (and sometimes maps). I like lighting (a lot) and try to use colors and lights to help tell stories.

An eldritch entity of bones and blood-red light breaks free of a prison of crimson roots after thousands of years. She looks up at a golden sky for the first time in many ages as her brothers (and jailors) watch on.

A previously glorious cathedral or castle lays in ruins now, potentially millennia later. The entire landscape is colorless, showing a misty, destroyed landscape, and a distant, looming darkness.

Four versions of the same character have half-bodies drawn in various poses. Lit by a smoking potion bottle is Mort, a friendly pathologist, in blue robes and hood. Lit by a possible candle is also Mort, reading a book. He looks concerned and kind. On the other side, lit from a stark white light from above is an additional Mort, wearing a metallic plague doctor like helm. He's in fancy attire and holds a warscythe. At the top is a fourth and final Mort, lit from behind by dark magic, wearing a silly grinning bronze skull-mask, and holding a voodoo doll. He's threading the doll with a bright blue string that ties all the other Morts together.

A top-down battlemap of a room covered in crimson vines vaguely shaped like a heart. A massive bovine-adjacent skull is trapped there. A blood-red light glows from its eyesockets and the gaps between the roots.

Just a small medium at large. More Lysabet, my forsaken necromancer. #wowoc #WarcraftArt

A thin, emaciated woman in a raggedy old cloak. Her clothes look beat up. A dagger and a flask are connected to her belt, and a shoulder-bag is slung over her chest. A funky little skull keeps her cloak pinned together. She's holding onto a staff made of bones and holding her hand under a floating, glowing lantern. Wisps of light- possibly souls- dance around the lantern.

Happy Halloween! My very tattered and torn-up #ghost for your amusement-- she's a wraith, to be exact. #warcraftart This was anti-burnout art. Something different, and for myself. Been wanting to make art of Lysa's ghostly self for a while, but man, a lot's been happening. So, here it is.

Against a hazy teal background where the barest hint of massive chains can be seen, floats a tattered ghost. She has an empty hood, and her legs trail off into ragged, cloth-like wisps. Parts of the ghost are damaged and sewn together by pale blue stitches. Her lower arms are just the shapes of bones, and her hands are claws. Her left arm is shattered, and sort of stuck in place by mysterious means.

The ghost from the previous image is now floating in front of the windows of a giant spectral lantern: three blue windows with a crossbar through them. Below the ghostly figure are a lot of shadowy, reaching hands, all seem intent on grabbing at or for the ghost.

Halloween is like a modern version of the three goddesses/witches archetype repeated through human myth. Like the Hecate, the Moiroi or the Norns, American All Hallows has 3 faces: Sexy Halloween (maiden/youth) cute Halloween (children/mother) and scary Halloween (crone/death), all separate but one.
