Hello, this is a recent character illustration Ive done of a Smoke genasi Warlock.

It is from a request from a /characterdrawing subreddit, so Ive tried to stay close to the original design, but still try and push some ideas Ive had. Hopefully did not mess it up too much.

The idea for the character is elemental genasi, more specifically Smoke Genasi. His mother is an air genasi and his other "mother" is a Efreeti genie. He's the result of a wish from his mother, who said it without knowing that the woman was an Efreeti. He is a warlock from the pact but he's very much a suave wannabe movie cowboy,

Let me know what you think about the piece.

Thanks

This is just a random rough sketch, not a finished drawing. I kinda just wanted to try making random character designs like this for fun and see how other people might interpret them like what species/class/backstory you’d give them.

I don’t really plan on keeping her, so if anyone happens to vibe with the design and wants to use her for a D&D character, you’re totally welcome to have her and make her your own. Change anything you want.

If more than one person is interested (not even sure if anyone will be lol), I’ll probably just pick based on whichever idea or lore I like most.

If anyone’s into this, I’ll probably post more like it in the future

I was introduced to D&D through my husband. At first, I didn't even realize just how many races, creatures, monsters, and different stories exist within D&D. But when I delved deeper, I was completely enchanted by this vast world of amazing fantasy. So I decided to set myself a personal challenge: to draw as many races as possible! I started, of course, with the majestic Aarakocra! I thought it would be interesting to depict a sorcerer just beginning his journey. He doesn't have a proper staff or decent clothing yet, but he's already ready to set off on adventures!

Looking forward to your comments and feedback!

I can’t believe how good this movie is from the cast, to the story to the insane Easter Eggs from the D&D world!

I wish they made a sequel or this would be a good TV series!

What are your thoughts?

You rarely hear a kenku before you see it, at least, not in the way you expect. What reaches you first is an echo: the creak of leather, the clink of loose coin, the cough of a man. A voice calls your name from the dark… then repeats it again, perfectly, but hollow, like a memory wearing a mouth.

Kenku are small, insignificant creatures wrapped in old rags and feathers that smell faintly of dust, smoke, and damp stone. Their wings are little more than withered stumps, dry, brittle things that itch beneath their cloaks, a constant reminder of what was taken from them. Long ago, they were not bound to the earth. They once soared in the service of a powerful, unnamed god, gliding through skies heavy with incense and gold.

But envy crept into their hearts.

They coveted their master’s hoarded riches. For this sin, the punishment was not swift, it was thorough. Their wings were torn away. Their voices were stolen mid-breath. Even their spark of creation was stripped from them, leaving their minds barren of originality. Since that age, no kenku has ever sung a song that was truly their own, nor spoken a thought that was not borrowed.

When a kenku speaks, it is never their voice. It is the scream of a dying soldier, the sharp bark of a city guard, the sing-song lilt of a bard . Their words are sewn together from scraps of sound, stolen and replayed with unsettling precision. They cannot invent new sounds or twist old ones into something novel, only mimic, repeat, and echo. Listening to a kenku for too long feels like standing in a hall of broken mirrors, where every reflection moves just a heartbeat too late.

Cast out from most settlements, kenku survive on the margins of civilization. They haunt rooftops slick with rain, crawl through alleyways reeking of rot and spilled ale, and nest in abandoned towers where the air tastes of mold and rust. They watch. They remember. They wait. Adventuring parties often find themselves followed, boots crunching on gravel behind them, a familiar voice drifting from the trees, the sound of their own laughter whispered back at them in the dark. Sometimes the kenku only steal. Sometimes they do worse, much worst.

And yet… very rarely… something goes wrong with the curse.

Once every few years, a kenku is born with a sharper mind, still flightless, still voiceless, but capable of a strange, limited independence. These anomalies move with uncanny patience, fingers calloused from bowstrings and trap-cords, eyes always scanning, always measuring. They become hunters, rangers, scouts, masters of terrain and silence. Their small frames slip through brush without a sound; their memories map forests and ruins better than ink ever could.

To travel with such a kenku is unsettling, but invaluable. They will never inspire you with words, never sing of victory, but they will hear what others miss, see what others overlook, and remember every sound you have ever made.

Poor cursed little creatures, condemned to echo the world rather than shape it…

yet still walking forward, step by borrowed step.

My name is Jesse Oliver, and I'm a professional freelance artist based in Columbus, OH! It is my honor to bring people’s vision for their character to life exactly how they imagine it, even if that means lots of changes on my part. I have a degree in Graphic Design and Illustration, and have been doing commission work since I was in highschool, so you can trust that I am a professional who will do my due diligence to do your character justice. If you're interested in getting a character commission or if you have any questions, please shoot me a DM!

I wanted to share some of my recent work because I’ve been proud of how my illustrations have been turning out lately. Above are a few examples of my most recent commissions, laid out next to their accompanying tokens. I can do a wide range of different species and outfit types. I particularly enjoyed doing the Yuan-Ti as anthro characters based on real life animals are my favorite! I find them challenging, and therefore more fun.

So I been a big fan of the beginner campaign for DnD. Stormwreck Isle is one of the first campaigns I ever played years ago and now that I am a DM I like to introduce this campaign to new players.

I also love assembling, painting and using miniatures but I never could find a good dragon to represent Skyrender the Blue Wyrmling.

All wyrmling miniatures aren’t scary or cool looking to get new players into fighting dragons. Then I saw Dungeons & Lasers: Freyr was perfect!

So I’m gonna surprise my friends with this when we start our campaign next Sunday. Everyone wish me luck!!

Beneath the sanguine sky, as if soaked in the blood of a long-forgotten deity, the final path of the pilgrims unfolds. The city surrounding them is both dead and majestic: colossal pillars rise like remnants of an ancient faith, and the stone itself bears the scars of fire, sacrifice, and prayer. The procession moves slowly, as though reality resists every step. None of those who walk the path know whether the destination truly exists — the temple ahead may be salvation or the threshold of utter ruin. Fires lining the way illuminate faces stripped of hope, yet still bound by unwavering resolve. This is not a journey toward the light; it is a journey of duty, taken beneath a sky that no longer forgives.

I’m running a D&D session idea and wanted to crowdsource some fun nonsense from fellow adventurers.

There’s a remote goat village led by an unusually old and wise-looking goat. The village behaves… strangely.

The reason?
Over the years, passing adventurers have given the goats “pearls of wisdom” — but the goats take everything literally.

Examples:

• “When someone bothers you, walk all over them.” → The goats now literally climb onto people’s shoulders when offended.
• “Always turn the other cheek.” → When spoken to, goats now stand at a permanent 3/4 angle, only showing one side of their face.
• “Don’t let things get under your skin.” → They refuse to wear clothes, armor, or even carry saddlebags.

And now I ask you, adventurers:

What other pearls of wisdom have YOU given these goats? and how should they behave?

I’m looking for sayings that were taken way too literally.

The more I play D&D, the more I realize the best moments almost never come from a victory. Combat is fun, but what really sticks is dealing with the consequences. The decisions that change the campaign, create tension in the party, or come back to haunt you sessions later.

In the end, D&D isn’t about beating encounters.

It’s about living with the choices you made.
