I created this artwork for a client who commissioned me to illustrate their original character from Baldur's Gate 3. The character had a unique appearance thanks to several customization mods, giving her a very distinctive Tiefling look with a charming maid aesthetic.

One of the things I enjoyed most about this project was the opportunity to explore all the little details that made this character special. From her facial features and hairstyle to her outfit, accessories, colors, and overall design, every element contributed to creating a memorable and visually interesting character.

I absolutely loved working on this commission! It was a wonderful experience bringing someone else's vision to life while having the freedom to experiment with different details, textures, and visual elements. I always find it exciting when clients come to me with characters that have such unique designs, especially when they combine fantasy elements with unusual styles and aesthetics.

Tieflings already have such an interesting visual identity in the world of Baldur's Gate, and this particular interpretation made the character even more fun to illustrate. Her maid-inspired appearance, combined with her distinctive features, created a really interesting contrast that I wanted to capture throughout the artwork.

I put a lot of care into making sure each detail felt cohesive and that the final illustration preserved the personality and charm of the original character. Projects like this remind me why I love character illustration so much: every character has a story, a personality, and a visual identity waiting to be brought to life.

I'm very happy with how this piece turned out, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Thank you so much to my client for trusting me with this commission! ❤️

A new design for my player character, i made it as a gift for him!

Born in the shadows of Sharn, Rabbit Medani learned early that secrets were worth more than gold. Bearing the Mark of Detection, he became one of House Medani's finest investigators. But after uncovering a conspiracy buried within the very house he served, Rabbit vanished. Now, working as a rogue detective, he follows clues, picks locks, and exposes truths that powerful people would rather keep buried.

My character for our Descent into Avernus campaign is a paladin of devotion devoted to Lathander, god of the morning sun. We had two sessions of our campaign (not counting session zero), and last session we were trudging through the dungeon beneath the bathhouse, when our bard and fighter found a magic axe in a submerged room. Apparently it belonged to an Uthgardt warrior, and had sort of a divine aura to it. My character called dibs on it since nobody else wanted it (either they were casters or had other weapons they preferred). The axe counts as magical and gives the user one free cast of Spiritual Weapon per short or long rest. I surely didn’t expect to get a magic item this early in the game, but I’m happy with it! I feel it complements her in a way, since she was meant to be a cleric originally but decided to become a paladin in order to seek a friend she lost.

I'll start with the most recent session up front. We've been running a campaign for a few months now. 4 players + DM. In the most recent session I attempted to shove, for story purposes a DMPC (who is wildly unpopular at the table from the player side), into a pool that had a rather hostile fish in it. I was always going to pull him back out before any harm could come but I was looking for a way to lure the fish over so I could soothe it or at the very least investigate why it's so upset. I failed on the push, we moved on. In between a scene transition, the DM, playing his DMPC, ended up literally shouting at me, like full on screaming and literally in my face. It was so loud his neighbors probably should have called the cops. I was taken aback, I think most of the other players at the table were taken aback. This was not something that was ever discussed in a previous session. I couldn't react, as myself or my character, I was just so stunned. At this point I was pretty checked out from the session until we got to another clearly boss encounter. We engaged the boss, difficult fight, whatever. DM comes along and has a slightly different but larger fish monster, grapple then swallow my husband's character (If you've played Humblewood this is probably familiar). My husband's character was grappled, swallowed, told he could take no actions, and was told a few turns later was dead. The entire table was like "WTF???" so the DM rolled (not sure entirely for what) and said he could come back, maimed and missing two legs. The session ended roughly about there with the players going WTF ARE YOU DOING. That session was 100% not great. I went and looked up that encounter in the Humblewood books and there's 100% a mechanic for a player to be able to escape that situation and it was not offered. "You are swallowed and can take no actions." from the DM, that was 100% murder and my assumption is that it was malicious. My husband who is more forgiving disagrees with that, though he was visibly upset during that whole shit fest.

Backing up some there's been some out of game drama. Apparently the DM has felt I've been singling him out for offering feedback on his game. I always offer feedback in private, never in a group. From the first session I said I wasn't particularly onboard with him having a DMPC because its a conflict of interest and I would enjoy a light touch if he wanted to do that. He did not take that well so I never really offered anything else. And for what it's worth I actually like his style and for the most part the way he runs his games aside from that DMPC.

Later on, he forced a "boon" from a god upon me. When I pointed out that it mechanically disadvantaged my character and asked him to help me understand how it would work for me he stopped responding and told me to deal with it. I was totally okay with accepting some disadvantage for a reasonable period of time and working with him from a story perspective but that's not what I got.

After the session on Sunday, I messaged him and set hard limits. No screaming/raised voices unless communicated before hand. I would not engage with his DMPC anymore, I would simply ignore it. And no character deaths that were agentless unless there were good story reasons to do so. His response to the group and not even to me. "Campaign is over. DM'ing is hard and y'all don't appreciate it."

My question to y'all. I'm not insane from walking away from this right or even trying to repair the damage?

This is Lyra, my Drow Death Cleric! I think that the subclass is kind of nuts and really awesome, and out of the Death Domain deities in the Forgotten Realms, I reckoned Loviatar best fit. The shorthand version of her backstory is she left Menzoberranzan alone under threat of death due to transgressions her family had committed against House Xorlarrin. Carrying a lot of pain and mourning made her turn to Loviatar. That’s about the meat of it - I tend to reserve most the cool story stuff for during the campaign rather than before it.

The important bit is her current look and design. I wanted to go for a sort of gothic knight slash nun vibe and also specifically made parts of her fit look quite uncomfortable (pointy metal, impractical shoes) to fit with the vibe of Loviatar’s worshippers inflicting pain on themselves as a form of piety. And what else to wield but a whip obviously! I also really liked her palette, the red is my fave :)

For the past year, I’ve been playing with a, “Rule Lawyer” and I’m the only person to find his behaviour grating. Couple examples: my warlock has fey touched and is therefore able to cast Misty Step and Silvery Barbs once a day without using a spell slot once each per long rest; for around two(2) months of our weekly sessions, he’d repeatedly interrupt me mid-sentence to tell me I’m out of spell slots so I’d constantly have to explain how the feat works. Additionally, my character’s a hexblade so I asked the DM IN SESSION if I could re-flavour his eldritch blast to be more an energy slash from his sword; the DM approved it and the immediate next turn the Rule Lawyer interrupted me and started talking about how that’s not how the spell works and this is homebrew which isn’t allowed. I asked the DM for guidance on wording a text message to him to which his response was, “K.”
Additionally, whenever I’ve tried in the past to roleplay with him, he either gets really short with me or completely dis-engaged from the situation.
Atp, I think he has something personal against me that’s reflecting in-game. Otherwise, I have great chemistry with the dm and the other players; I’m wondering if I should further address my concerns or just limit interactions with the player and his character(s).

What's going on here?

• Bald guy: Singing Cricket, retired adventurer, in love with a young night hag and living with her coven.
• The other dude: Jonathan, the groom at this wedding and all around good dude. Just a moment ago - right before the ceremony - his bride finally confessed her lifelong secret to him (that she is in fact not a human, but a changeling), and the wedding is still going forward!
• The old lady Singing Cricket is thinking about: that's Nanny Muk, elder hag, in disguise to attend the wedding.
• The little halfling guy they're talking about: he has appeared briefly before.

And the next episode will (finally) be the wedding ceremony!

If you're really confused, you could go back to the very beginning of the changeling's story arc.

Or even the very start of the series if you want to binge read and maybe laugh a bit.

Love and Hex started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/existential horror story. It's on Webtoon and other platforms. Also r/LoveAndHex. And you can find a version with a full transcript on my website. Or go get the book if you like paper.

Hello everyone! Here is a commission I recently worked on for a client based on her night elf character from WoW.

She's a feral druid of the claw and tends to be more feline than elf, so I drew her on her tiptoes to echo the way cats walk.

I know D&D World of Warcraft is about to release, Are any of you planning to play it ? I love both universes so I'm very hyped, I would love to give it a try one day!

My DMs are always open if anyone is interested in a commission for their character ! :)

I would appreciate outside opinions because I'm not wanting to be a jerk, but also play my character correctly.

I started a campaign playing a twighlight cleric - and I made my character hate necromancy. They are of the opinion that death is a natural cycle of life, and necromancy bastardizes that cycle.

The DM was sent my views/backstory, and we played a few sessions. And while we were in town, I was going to a shop to get resurrection supplies for the spell, but then it dawned on me that technically, resurrection goes against my characters belief system. So logically, they wouldn't agree to cast it. I definitely did not think the backstory through.

Obviously, I am going to do everything I can to keep the party alive and healthy, but I was going to keep the negative "no rez" viewpoint.

The party is just pretty squishy, but are saying they dont mind the play style. Now they're more cautious, which I feel bad about.

The DM said I could change around my character if I wanted, but I was going to stick to it since we have already played a few sessions.

Am I a jerk keeping this and potentially making life harder for everyone?

Hello everybody.

I have just seen some things about Demogorgon and noticed he is very different from how I remembered him.

One of my favourite moments in a game ever is in Baldur's Gate, when choosing to fight the Imprisoned One beneath Watcher's keep, he offers the line:

"Then know me by my best name, mortal. You face Demogorgon, Prince of Demons!"

He then appears with both of his Orangutan heads and brgins fighting. I was blown away to be fighting him when I first played. However, he has two orangutan heads.

Does he have lizard heads now? I had no idea this happened and am wondering when it did? Why change his iconic look?
