Character Design - Callahan

 Finally getting back around to this D&D character. This design process got me crying to the Art Fight board for help, but I got there in the end. Callahan is where Howl meets Radagast meets a pride parade. This campaign hasn't begun yet, but I wanted to use him as my character on PaperDemon, so I had to finish his design.

Meme - Pride Month in the Campaign

 A pride meme I made for my D&D group. I am fighting tooth and nail against this art block.

Animation - Nickel

 Tried out Krita for the first time and felt like I was finally getting out of my art block - only to then have to deal with Adobe and its color management when it came time to export. I spent just as long troubleshooting as I did drawing, and all for nothing in the end, as the problems turned out to be unfixable. But Krita was nice, at least. The workflow was so smooth and didn't bog down my computer like Photoshop.

I'm very happy with this, even if color management sucked all the joy out of it! I already see many things to improve and I'm excited to animate more in the future!

D&D Sketch - POV: They Murdered Helis

 A funny little meme I did for my D&D party to get out of an art block. Falrin told them not to do it and they did it anyway, and then he was arrested, too. Poor Keyleth has never even been in a jail before. Slice knows the drill and will be a free rat by morning. Spork simply has no respect for cops or Helis (this is all her fault).

Sketches - Nyx

 Some doodles I did during work meetings this month. Started experimenting with Nyx's new design, and while I like the new colors, it's not quite there yet. Also a doodle of a new D&D character I'm working on, but he needs more work, too.

Drawn over last week, Photoshop.

Art Fight - Ask Not for Whom the Bell Chimes

 One last revenge for the year, caracali's aasimar Chime. Definitely an improvement from the last time I drew a muzzle flash. I wish I had been able to do some attacks of my own rather than just revenge the whole summer. I even had some mass attacks in mind. Maybe next year.

Art Fight - Patron's Pawn

 Getting back into it and knocking out my revenges! MyNameIsActuallyTen's warlock Clay. Learning more Photoshop tools has greatly helped improve my speed and also saved my document when I accidentally saved after cropping.

Sketch - Shipping

 Something of a theme going on with these last few posts... Sometimes I wish I had a popular art blog in a big fandom so that I would inevitably be asked this question, and I can give an annoying answer like this. I'm not super happy with this, though. I just want to move on to something else.

Character Design - WOT are ye doin in mah SWAMP

 I entered Art Fight's Design for the Person Above You Game again as part of my NaNoWriMo world-building challenge for the month, and was tasked with designing a D&D character. Any character at all, as long as it wasn't a human fighter. So I had a lot of freedom. I went with a swamp-themed smuggler, a Water Genasi Druid (Circle of the Swamp). 

I'm really happy with this! I did a better job with the color palette than I do for my own characters...

Art Fight - I am a Leaf on the Wind

 Another revenge, this time for lilmissrandom's character Umbreo. This was very fun to draw! I have strong doubts I will get through all my revenges this year. I'll have to pick them up at the start of the next fight.

Art Fight - It won't be a TPK this time

 My first Art Fight attack! 123 points right off the bat. I got a bit carried away with this but I'm so satisfied with the lineart, and particularly Mayve's Vampiric Touch. These are Pigeontuxedo's D&D characters Borgash and Mayve!

Drawn 7/5/22, Photoshop.


That Schwartz battle scene from Spaceballs was running through my head on a loop the entire time I was drawing this.

Sketch - Naming No Name

Nickel is not the brightest. 

It has been several years since this campaign ended... Nickel has a new home in Ren's universe, doing what she does best: sailing the seas, plundering treasure, and struggling with basic common sense.

Art Fight - Mountain Air

Finally done with revenges, so I get to attack for once! I really enjoyed this attack! I don't get to do any kind of landscapes often so I need a lot of practice, and I'm really happy with the mountains and sky. Hermees for mscreated.

Art - Machop (Pokemon D&D)

Back in August, I agreed to do some art for YeeshaStone's Pokemon D&D project. They make really cute clay figures, so check them out! I've finally finished the first set, and I'll be doing Machoke and Machamp when I have the time, probably after graduation.

Drawn over quite a long period of time, Photoshop.

Character Design - Slice of Cheese

 A reference sheet for Slice, the urban sewer druid/ranger. Likes hidey-holes and cheese and shiny things. She swears in cheeses. Beware the rat, for never is there just one.

Comic Sketch - Slice and the Big Cheese

 One of my D&D/EverQuest II characters, Slice of Cheese, staying well-focused on the heist at hand. The missing third panel is just a huge speech balloon of one word from Briareos:
"SLICE!!!"

Art Fight - Aella

I happened to come across Kindred Spirit's D&D character Aella, an air genasi bard whose design looks almost exactly like Nickel's, and I had to draw him! After all, we seem to be kindred spirits (ayy). If I had had more time, I would have loved to have drawn the two of them having a dance party together.
Unfortunately it was friendly fire, so no points.

Art Fight - Mew

An attack of YeeshaStone's cool D&D-themed Pokemon, a rogue Mew. The scene was based on a short story clip she provided. I don't usually draw animals and I think it shows, though. 38.28 points!

Sketch Sheet - Quarter

Of course, lots of chaotic skeleton sketches for our chaotic D&D campaign. Lots of fun here! Although I feel I went overboard on the chaos for a neutral character and forgot to highlight his knowledge-seeking. Featuring a cameo by Vaatu!

Comic Sketch - Incorrect D&D Quotes

I've been doodling silly sketches for my characters in preparation for Art Fight, and I was really vibing with this scene from Avatar: The Last Airbender because it fit one of my D&D parties so well. So here it is, Quarter and Emmeryn!
