Albrecht Ssashal is a cursed human (mechanically akin to a Yuan-ti) wandering the world of Dragonlance, marked by both honor and betrayal. Once a high-ranking Knight of Solamnia, he abandoned his post after discovering that his own mentor was involved in a conspiracy that led to the death of his family. Now, he walks a path of vengeance, torn between his former ideals and the darkness within him.

His appearance reflects his transformation: shoulder-length brown hair streaked with gray, piercing yellow serpentine eyes, subtle fangs, and a bifurcated tongue. A faint scar stretches from the corner of his mouth toward his eye, and a short beard frames his hardened expression.

He wears worn but dependable dark plate armor beneath a long, hooded green cloak, keeping himself concealed. A neutral metal mask, forged from the same dark material as his armor, hides his face from the world. Armed with a shield and a finely crafted sword.

Ive really wanted to get into dnd for a while, and after triyng and failing to set up a campaign due to scheduling issues, i went to try and find an online group. I used groupfinder, and found a group without the "paid game"tag, meaning it would be free to join. after talking to the dm they sent me the list of rules: there were 10 rules, all seemed pretty standard and fair, except for the 8th one: "Character design requirement every player must get their character designed by the campaign official artist to keep the look consistent and professional the artist will charge a fixed amount which players must pay". after asking a bunch more questions about that rule they told me the payment is usally around 40-50$ via paypal, and when i asked if the price was negotiable they said yes and gave me the artist user to talk to. they accepted my request but i havent talked to them yet. While i dont mean to devalue artists, and i do think that pricing can be fair given u own the art and can use it, i find the requirment to pay a specific one strange. they say this is because they want all the art to be by the same guy so its consistent and professional but i think if im required to pay 40$ to play ur campaign regardless of the reason it should carry the "paid games" tag. id assume they just make the design price part of the fee to start playing and pay theyre artist themselves- So my question is: Is this common? is it a scam? am i exaggerating? im new to this space so im not sure what to think. thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any advice!

A commission I made for a shy, mysterious druid. Since the client gave me a lot of liberty to explore the design, I had much fun making this one c:

The character itself was supposed to camouflage herself in nature, with big curly green hair and a mask made out of a tree trunk. The design was made trying to make her as similar to a tree as possible, with the brown skirt and voluminous hair. Really proud of this one!

I was recently given this prompt/description to use as reference:

He is a blood hunter, and a reborn (meaning he was dead and has been resurrected, but since revived he is now much different/wrong). He is not expressive, and almost always wears the same deadpan look/scowl. Specializing in lightning, he knows nothing of his previous life, and does not care to learn. He is blind in his left eye, set underneath a wicked scar. He has shoulder length wavy/almost curly white hair. He wields a great sword, which sometimes emits red electricity, and his attire consists of sparse chainmail, and armor plating on his chest/neck and shoulders.

Elyra keeps to the old sewers now. No guards, no questions, just rot, damp stone, and whatever the city forgets to bury. It’s not a place anyone wants to be, which is exactly why she chose it.

She practices the dark arts down here, where a steady supply of necrotic flesh and unclaimed corpses is never hard to find.

She works in the quiet. Repeats the same things over and over. Small spells, controlled, deliberate. No rush. No need to prove anything. The magic comes when it comes. Most days it’s just her, the dark, and the sound of water moving through tunnels.

It’s not where she thought she’d end up.

Painted in PS

Meet Kaeron, a Master Potter whose craft transcends mere clay. Hailing from a secluded artisan village, he comes from an ancient lineage that weaves magic into their pottery. By manipulating a magical slip, Kaeron can materialize floating, prehensile clay hands or even bigger constructs to assist him in both combat and his intricate craftsmanship.

His village holds a more mystical secret. Working alongside witches, master artisans like Kaeron have learned the mystical art of soul-binding. Through their craft, they can anchor the spirits of the deceased into the very ceramic vessels they shape, either to preserve ancient knowledge or to trap malevolent entities forever.

In a D&D campaign, I imagine Kaeron as an Artificer and he would be travelling with a witch to seal the soul of a local threat. What class and subclass do you think fits him best?

By the way, I'm a junior concept artist and I currently have a few commission slots open! If you have a D&D character you'd like to bring to life in this style, feel free to send me a DM :).

The ski resort had an event where you could put on some costume. Me and my friend decided to go as our DnD characters. I was a wizard and he was a cleric.

The character was Waimea McFuggles, a reporter from Baldur’s Gate who uncovered a deep corruption in the city nobles. He released a manifest that revealed it all. Needless to say the nobles wanted him dead. The power hungry nobles were ready to give up everything and their patron planned similar things that happened to Elturel.

He headed to Icewind Dale and started a small tavern in there, Hearth and Stout. He started studying arcane to create small defensive runes for his tavern while trying to remain unseen for the old world he lived in. He remained under the radar for 20 years until the nobles started hunting him down. Stuff happened and he had to start adventuring. It was a good run until the very last parts of the campaign we had to travel across a huge frozen wasteland. He ended up freezing and dying of exhaustion. He was quite fragile old man.

Maybe he wasn’t dead, just resting and now bombing down the hills.

I got stopped by the ski patrol and I was certain that I’d get a fine for the cape or something. We ended up winning two free passes to rooftop spa.
