More on this character:

Centari Stormrunner -Fighter Centaur
This is a redesign of a character that started out as a druid but progressed trough the story to be more of a fighter, and hence came the challenge of designing a centaurs armor, fitting for a nobles guard. Centaurs might be one of my favorite races to design for when it comes to combining their armor and attire for a horse, as well as human, and make it look seamless. How they go about putting on said armor when alone, is another question.
We needed something easy to throw on, but protective of the flanks, and regal looking at the same time.

If you have something similar you would love to get a design solution on, or something even more mismatched, feel free to reach out!

I'm making my own bestiary, here's my first monster OC, based on sketches I've made through the years:

Once a solitary explorer who braved the darkest woods in search of forgotten ruins, Lanthrawl fell victim to a slow, creeping transformation wrought by a cursed glade. His body was twisted by residual fey magic, his soul too stubborn to fade. Now, with six elongated limbs and a grotesque, skeletal frame, he wanders the forest still, clutching the rusted lantern he once carried as a man.

Strangely, the lantern still glows, dim and steady, its flame fed not by oil but by lingering traces of enchantment, or perhaps by Lanthrawl’s desperate fear of darkness and solitude. His pale gray-brown skin clings tightly to his bones, his ribs and vertebrae clearly visible beneath his thin flesh. The light he carries swings gently from his prehensile tail or bony claws, casting long shadows across the trees.

Though grotesque in form, Lanthrawl is no monster at heart. He welcomes travelers with a hollow, ever-present smile, exposing the few yellowed teeth that remain in his mouth. His dark, empty eyes seem always searching, seeking companionship, or at least acknowledgment.

Should you treat him kindly, he will guide you through dense forests, forgotten tombs, or twisting caverns, protecting you from getting lost. He asks nothing in return but your presence, your voice, your warmth. He feeds on small woodland creatures, swallowing them whole due to his lack of teeth. What he fears above all else is abandonment, and the silence of an unlit world.

Lanthrawl stands at a crooked height of 8 feet (approximately 2.4 meters), his long limbs and arched back giving him a looming, unnatural silhouette in the dark.

It is said that anyone who walks alone for too long in dim light could become one of them.

A cursed goblin seamstress, once a proud and haughty Tabaxi aristocrat, was transformed into a hideous little goblin as punishment for her unbearable vanity.

Despite her monstrous appearance, she still wears her shrunken noble finery and carries herself with the same arrogance, pride, and disdain as the highborn lady she once was. She demands respect from everyone she meets, refusing to accept that her former status is gone. She loathes the poor.

Commission work, hope you like it ✂️

DnD is like a high for me. I get to be someone else.

It is the best story telling medium. My character died recently and I didn't go to the table after that.

I took a couple of weeks to come back to DnD.

Its beautiful, its profound, its a story telling medium where you and your friends are the story.

No book is me, no movie is a hangout with friends.

This is the only way I can experience a fantasy world with my friends.

We laugh, we cry, we weep, we drink for hours.

4-6 hours of just being someone else as yourself.

dm asked me to draw the moment this mfin seafood nightmare ambushed their party in this small warehouse. Spent a little longer than expected on the cross-hatching, but I think I got it in the end.

our fighter is frontlining with a sword while the rest of the party are lowkey reconsidering their life choices

How would your party even handle a beast like this? Would there be one of the players saving everyone's ahh or it'd be more of a team battle

Hello, fellow adventurers! Today, I'm excited to share the entry for Crawling Horrors from the Tome of Monsters, the ultimate monster compendium for 5E and 5.5E!

Crawling Horrors are grotesque undead abominations formed from the bodies of numerous humanoids, stitched together and animated through forbidden necromantic rituals. Their elongated forms consist of fused torsos, mismatched limbs, and partially conscious heads, creating monstrous creatures capable of crawling across almost any surface. Despite their unnatural anatomy, their many limbs allow them to move with disturbing speed and coordination.

The Tome of Monsters is a massive bestiary designed to bring new creatures, challenges, and possibilities to your D&D adventures. Here's a glimpse of what it's gonna be inside:

• 308 monster statblocks, ranging from CR 0 all the way to CR 30, including entirely original creatures, new variants of familiar monsters, and powerful legendary foes.
• Detailed lore and descriptions, exploring the origins, behaviors, habitats, and roles of these creatures in your worlds.
• Monster families and variants, providing multiple versions of certain creatures to challenge adventurers across different levels of play.
• Knowledge Checks, allowing characters to uncover useful information about the monsters they encounter.
• Adventure Hooks and Customization Options, helping Game Masters introduce these creatures into their campaigns and adapt them to their needs.
• Lair Actions and Regional Effects, bringing additional depth and danger to encounters with particularly powerful creatures.
• Random Encounter Tables and additional Monstrous Adventure Hooks, offering inspiration for everything from unexpected encounters during a journey to entire adventures centered around these creatures.
• And much, much more!

The Tome of Monsters is officially scheduled for release in the second half of November, but you can already unlock around 250 pages of the manual on my Patreon, with additional content being released every day as we approach the full launch! All membership tiers have access to these previews, so you can already explore a huge portion of the bestiary and start introducing its creatures into your adventures.

At the moment, I'm also running a sale of all my titles on DriveThruRPG!

Happy adventuring! :)

I have been into fantasy creatures and more every since I saw those little goblins on my cousins board game. I made many memories from this hobby, my partner didn't know the hobby but now they're very into it that they wrote 50 pages for themselves for their character. I made many friends, laughed and cried. I hope I'll see myself GMing for 111 years. Happy 11 years of GMing to me! I wish whom read this so far a very good luck on scheduling your sessions and minimal drama on your tables!!!

You might wonder how I got in this situation, fighting for my life against a chimera monster on top of a tower, but that's a story for another time...

This is an illustration I did of a paladin character with a magic shield with numerous figures sculpted on it. Normally inanimate, the figures can spring to life to fight and protect allies.

The monster is a combination of animals: a sorta of eagle head, wings and anterior legs, the body of a lion, and a tail that ends with a snake. This is of course 100% anatomically accurate btw.

Cant wait to hear your thoughts!
