A character for Beadle & Grimm's Faster Purple Worm! Everybody Dies Vol 2 that was shown on their Kickstarter. AD Jon Ciccolini
A night hag with greenish skin, red hair, and a dark princess dress reaches menacingly toward the viewer. She is wearing a tiara of black thorns and has a monkey demon on her back arm perched to strike.

I somehow missed this! That's so fun, haha. I think a lot of the characters in WoW are presented as very serious and stoic, but Orweyna seems like she would also be joyous and fun, it's just not really shown in game.

Orweyna goes whooo, but sometimes, when no one's looking, I imagine she goes WHEEEE! #worldofwarcraft #wowfanart
Orweyna from World of Warcraft. She has her arms outstretched and a big smile in joy. She is mounted on a bright green potatoad that is running with its tongue lolling out.

My art is in my orbiter! I repeat: MY ART IS IN MY ORBITER!

Glad you like it! I think it’d be super cool if they decided to do a whole campaign book and then we could have a whole bunch of art in there.

Sir Lyodivian of Royal House Ent'r'dei Just a rough, but I may circle back for full polish. #warframefanart #tennocreate #warframe
Loid from Warframe as he is described during the Frontiers & Fables game. He is an elf with long hair. He wears fancy white and gold fantasy magistrate robes accented by the Entrati Eye. He holds a very large scroll aloft and is looking at it with disdain.

And with this, one dream I had since I was a teenager (a million years ago) has been fulfilled: an illustration in a video game. Wild that my TTRPG work and game I love got to cross over like this. (Screenshot to further confuse people who don’t play #Warframe about what Warframe even is.)

'Hand of Stolen Glory' art I did for the Season of the Witch kickstarter! Had a lot of fun trying some new techniques in Procreate here. 😄 Be sure to check out the project if you like spooky DnD things, the higher reward tiers are going fast!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rob...
Illustration of a disembodied hand missing its ring finger, which has been replaced with an ornate, prosthetic-like piece of jewellery. Occult tattoos sprawl across the back of the hand.

"The first joint of a witch’s ring finger is removed when they reach maturity, the middle joint follows should they be lucky enough to their thirtieth year, and the last joint joins its fellows if a witch makes it to fifty. Most registered witches don’t."

Bayor's Burden I'm so excited for the @soulframe.com Fall Update! #Soulframe #SoulframeFanart
Helmetless Bayor, with a sad/frustrated expression, looks at a broken sword. The sword is hanging upside down in front of him, and glows with a golden light. The meteor Osuraxi is faintly blue in the background. Bayor is framed by raven wings. The painting is done in a loose, tarot card style.

I was a monster for any updates about F&F in the original chats! This feels like it was made just for me! (I know it's not, haha)

Nikki Dawes @nikkidawes.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
Thank you! Your hard work made my job so easy. When I first saw your concepts, my immediate thought was "These are so different from what I would have done on my own!" (In a very positive way). I think that's the best part of collaborative work like this, the end result is greater for it.

Hi, #portfolioday I like painting people and swirly magic. nikkidawes.com
Beau stands in front of Caleb in a library. Beau has her fists clinched, with one raised, ready to strike. Caleb is gathering dunamantic magic while clutching his book. They are both in their high level uniforms. The Hex from Warframe dressed as fantasy table top characters. Aoi is a barbarian with a large metal arm and Bonewidow themed. Quincy is a ranger with a rifle and has dog companion. Lettie is a thorny rose-themed druid. Eleanor is a warlock weaving dangerous magic overhead. Arthur is a paladin in plate armor. Amir looms dangerously in the background. A black woman with dark skin delicately holds a glowing feather quill pen made of magic. Magical words and scrolls swirl around her. She's has a natural afro and is seated in a wooden, upholstered wheelchair. She wears a teal robe with gold accents. A group of three older witches having a garden party and drinking tea. One witch is making a vulgar gesture with a candle stick as the other two look on in amusement.
