This #commission is maybe my favourite piece of art I've done in a while, it turned out so good 🎃 It's definitely put me in the mood for the spooky season 👻 Anyone else have any #TheCrookedMoon D&D characters they want painted? 👀

A halfling wizard with long twin braids stands poised and ready to face the dark setting of The Crooked Moon. She brandishes a ball of flame in one hand and holds a glowing staff in the other.

A goblin rogue winks at the camera while tossing a bag of coins in the air in one hand and flipping a coin through her fingers in the other. She’s surrounded by stacks of gold and gems.

Holstein for @zappyarts.bsky.social I’m having SO much fun playing with different styles for art fight! I love a sassy silly vampire who acts like a fool but is actually cunning under all the pizazz, so this character was really up my alley🦇🩸 [ #teamComedy | #artfight2026 ]

It's the year of the Fools! I'm joining art fight for the first time this year and I'm so hyped for the themes 🎭artfight.net/~ValerianDreams✨ [ #artfight2026 #ArtFight #TeamComedy ]

My Art Fight card! It shows the name of my personal art account: Valerian dreams. I'll attack clowns and anything that catches my eye. I will do friendly fire and revenge, and might do mass attack but I'm not planning on it as of yet. I have human characters, monsters, a clown, and fey.

Illustration of a troupe of medieval musicians in colorful costumes, singing and playing instruments as they march. Each one has features that bring them closer to demons (goat’s hooves, bulging eyes, horns, etc.); a small dragon walks alongside them.

“I dont think my art is good enough to make this comic/webtoon/visual novel/game” You should make it, because even if your art isnt where you want it to be, the constant practice you gain while working on a project will rapidly improve your skills as oppose to just waiting

Yeah I think we need to start seriously discussing UBI as the way forward from this world with fewer jobs and unchecked firings They hate it because, like unions, it reduces desperate dependence on your bosses, but I think it's the only way forward now

D&D party gathering at the Trollskull Taverna 💀🍻 [ #commission #TTRPG #art ]

An eclectic D&D party boast cheerfully inside a warm tavern made of wood, toasting each other with tankards of ale. To the left sits their discarded gear leaning against a spare table and chairs. The bartender smiles amicably at the group from behind the bar. The tavern is decorated with paintings gathered during their adventures.

A soft illustration in blue and purple, the character Lucanis lounges in Rook’s lap among a field of blue flowers. He plays with her long red hair and she places a flower behind his ear. They are sitting beneath a small tree with white petals.

Same with art. Everyone would get so many more amazing indie games, comics, animations and other creative projects fuelled by nothing but the love of the craft and being able to feed ourselves. Support artists so we can continue to provide the enrichment and beauty that defines our humanity.

The idea of artists peaking at 30 is ✨ridiculous✨ and clearly stems from nervous, burnt out 20yo's cause anyone older knows that artists only get better with time, experience and practice. Every single great master in history is way over 40 when they finally become renowned.

I feel like it needs to be shared that one of my big motivators for posting online is that whenever I share doodles to my bestie, she is being oh so supportive while holding a bat saying "ok now post it."

A page of sketches of two oc's in different poses; The first is a tiefling (Hazel) with her hands held victoriously above her head celebrating with a big open fanged smile, while an elf (Almond) stands next to her clapping her hands with an excited expression; The second next to them is Almond and Hazel but this time the elf is struggling to hold up the tiefling while flying while said character angrily panics about it; the third is a side view of the two character where Almond is softly holding Hazel's hands up like shes trying to encourage her.
There are also small sketches in-between of a little round robot with a stylized bomb for a head as well as two unrelated oc sketches at the bottom

Sketch drawing of two dnd characters sitting next to each other; One is a moon elf with long curly hair blushing and giggling. The other is a tiefling with short hair looking at the other girl.... Also there is a random doodle of me venting about my art block in the corner ignore that I have a habit of drawing reaction doodles next to anything I draw.

Another #commission from a few months back. Got this one in the middle of winter while playing a lot of Skyrim, which I think was a wonderful coincidence ❄️
