I picked a random image from the internet as a base reference and turned it into this DnD-style mage portrait. I customized her design, changed some of her features, and tried to give her more personality through the details. There are still many things in this painting I’d like to fix or polish, but sometimes it’s better to move on to the next piece and keep improving there. I worked on this mage painting between yesterday and today, and I’m happy to share the result. Feel free to share any thoughts or opinions you’d like.
I’m slowly getting deeper into the world of DnD. I have a great friend who explains many things to me, but I still find it hard to apply those ideas into concepts and designs. When it comes to decorating an illustration with objects or meaningful details, I’m often not sure what to add. But little by little, I’ll keep improving.

Did this for a client recently! Here’s some info about the characters

Drow Warlock: Cold, calculating, and always three steps ahead. Speaks little, observes everything, and treats every interaction like a quiet negotiation.

Dwarf Ranger: Gruff but dependable, with a dry sense of humor. His bond with his monkey companion is stronger than most friendships.

Human Cleric: Compassionate and devout, guided by faith and a deep desire to help others. A calming presence who sees the good in people and offers hope in dark times.

Half-Elf Rogue: Witty, guarded, and sharp-tongued. Keeps emotional distance but fiercely loyal once trust is earned.

Human Barbarian: Bold, fearless, and driven by instinct. Thrives in chaos, with a competitive streak and a surprisingly warm heart beneath it.

Tiefling Bard: Charismatic and mischievous, always performing—even in battle. Loves attention, but hides deeper insecurities behind charm.

Pathind 1E

A close friend an incrediably talented artist by the name Stefen Ristic dis this incrediably peice of my charafter. A Boundblade tiefling of the motherless variety. Hes there is a mask for a good reason.

THIS IS THE PIECE THE ARTIST DID'T LIKE. "I messaged me and was like this current is not good enough. "I'm starting over sorry it's going on the direction to better what everything to properly catchbher."

So I have much more art for my characters I will be posting. Let me know any duqestions.

The sky split like old parchment.

Green lightning stitched a jagged seam across the clouds, hissing as the wind pulled in two directions at once. Beneath it stood Galemaunt, broad-shouldered, scales dark as forest leaves, armor worn more from habit than need. He watched the tear with the still patience of something that had already decided.

“Convenient,” he muttered.

The seam answered.

Something stepped through.

Smaller. Leaner. A kobold, cloaked in bone trinkets and quiet malice. He landed without a sound, straightened, and looked up.

They studied each other.

Same stillness. Same measured breath. The same habit of weighing before speaking.

“Ah,” the kobold said at last. “So this is the other answer.”

The dragonborn’s gaze narrowed. “You’re a poor one.”

“And you’re a loud one.”

Neither took offense. There was no value in it.

The storm pulsed. Power gathered between them, raw and unclaimed.

Both noticed.

“Unstable,” the kobold said.

“Then we take it,” the dragonborn replied.

A pause.

“And afterward?” the kobold asked.

“We settle it.”

A thin smile. “Naturally.”

They moved without further word.

Side by side, though neither would call it that. The dragonborn braced, heavy and grounded. The kobold angled himself, light and ready.

Both drew one hand back.

Magic answered.

Blue-white fire coiled around the dragonborn’s claws, bright and violent. A sickly green shimmer crept along the kobold’s fingers, quiet and hungry.

For a brief moment, they glanced at each other.

Recognition. Nothing more.

“Shall we?” the kobold asked.

“Keep up.”

They struck.

A recent commissioned piece I worked on. It tells the story of a single soul named Galemaunt, born into two different forms, one a dragonborn, the other a kobold. Through some strange, twisted turn of fate, the two eventually meet on the battlefield.

The draconic designs and flairs were mostly inspired by the emerald dragons from World of Warcraft. It was both fun and challenging to draw two versions of the same draconic character, very different in form yet strikingly similar in personality and features. I also took some inspiration from Marvel’s Avengers films for the poses, layout, and overall composition.

A commission of my OC Kara whom I would really like to play as eventually! (by @/tasneff89536 on twitter)

She was born a tiefling due to her father's deal with Levistus to further his research, but a magical accident when she was a child killed both of her parents and made her innate magic more powerful but also prone to flaring uncontrollably. Her unstable abilities have made her anxious and afraid of attachment over the years, but her favorite way of earning a living is performing tricks on the street with her ice magic and seeing the smiles they can bring on people's faces.

I've always wanted to change the elements of certain spells and exploit monster vulnerabilities, so I decided to play a scrivener wizard because of their level 2 feature that does just that. One thing I hope to do is convert fireball to bludgeoning damage and just call it "ball". For the design, I really liked the ornate masks and helmets of the Xaryxian military, so to have an excuse to wear them, I made my PC be an astral elf. I'm not really sure yet on why she wants to go against her own people's empire, but I'll figure it out before the first session starts... hopefully.

My influences were the sea hag from witcher 3 and Auntie Ethel from BG3 and the style of the dnd cards. Thats why the format is very fitting for a card.

Couple of details: Skulls on her walking stick are small, because they are kids skull. Also they provide some scale of her sizes. With the eyes I went round. I wanted them to be hypnotic yet relentless with the gaze.

Painted on canvas with oil paint. The painting size is 46x55cm.

I have been working on the illustrations for my D&D table, grouping the players based on their roles in combat. And here is the second one: the Weavers, featuring our wizards and sorcerer, the main casters of our big party. In the background are some moments from our campaign (no character died in those, surprisingly, despite the fire, massive explosions, and failing airship). I had enjoyed painting this piece, designing their arcane effects is quite fun!

My newest DnD OC added to the fray! Meet Ecaterina (Rina for short), my Shadow Monk.
Made her for a Curse of Strahd campaign I joined yesterday so there haven't been any sessions aside from an impromptu session 0. We kind of just talked about character ideas and if we wanted to make a cohesive party that already knew each other prior (since we are skipping death house)! We ended up liking the idea of a circus troupe that are mediocre at best but keep the business running by being thieves/criminals.

Rina is a mime at day and a pickpocketing thief at night who also seems to be good at beating people in good ol' monk fashion.

Her design is heavily INSPIRED by Romanian traditional clothing and embroidery, her name included. Will be attempting a Romanian/Transylvanian accent at the table as well

My newest DnD character for a new campaign, La Tigresa Infierna. She is a fire genasai Luchadora Ruda who is a bit of a hot head but brings a fair punch to the group. Born to nobility in the City of Brass but eventually fell in love with traveling fae circus groups that brought wrestling shows across the planes.

Being a bit of a rough tomboy, always spoiling for a fight but finding that a rather tough life outside traveling merchants who would perhaps overstay their hospitality at local taverns. This stage show opened her eyes to a new potential way she could prove her strength and escape the doldrums of life in the city.

However, after years of traveling with the troupe, she found herself stuck. Not able to best some of the old legendary hands despite her best efforts, she wanted to find a way to better herself, to become better than those who she could never beat. That is why she one day decided to leave the troupe after one of their shows on faerun, choosing to take time to find her own way before hopefully coming back stronger than ever.

* The character idea was to find a way to kind of make a luchadora work but I felt that by separating it down to its routes of kind of a performance was the best way to kind of make it work and introduce something exotic without pushing too far against the conventions of the setting. I am excited to see where she goes and how she actually grows.

Art by me, trying to practice getting better but rarely find the time so a lot of experimentation.
