Hello there adventurers, new beginning for my little project. Dear mods, his is not a commissioned work , what I usually post here. I drew this for players and DM for free use. Few years ago I started to redraw monster book, and now I want to restart it, as I made my old drawing style a bit more solid, and know I know what to do with all of it. So if you ( mods) do not mind, I will probably do more recent posts here , and community will have some alternative looks to monsters and creatures. I just see no point in drawing exactly what we already have. So this is a little scene as opening for the project. Soon I will deliver next art .
What do you think guys of it in total, and if you have critics- welcome, feel free to put some words here. And as this is just a monster art, I have no backstory , all three creatures here are just a random units for the scene. But, all of them has descriptions in official book or in net, pretty easy to find. This is all what I wanted to print here. Will be glad to see your feedback.
Stay safe and have a good day!

There are a few were-races in DnD, but sadly no official race based on a hare (or at least I don't know about any, feel free to inform me if you do). Meanwhile, hares look like in anthropomorphized, they would speak backwards, see noises, hear colours and talk to gods of all faiths at the same time. Like mad shamans who turned crazy with all the forbidden knowledge. No wonder that medieval Europe thought hares were witches or spirits of dead in disquise. So would laganthropes be good, or evil race in your setting?

All artwork by me (Adamte).

This artwork is a commission I made for client named Joseph,
Character's Description and backstory :

Difesa the Dragonblood Guardian

Standing an imposing eight feet tall and weighing well over four hundred pounds, Difesa is a massive Dragonblood Guardian whose adamantine heritage is etched into every inch of his formidable frame. His stocky, powerful body is covered in overlapping metallic scales that shine with dark metal at their roots and brilliant edges, contrasting sharply with a dragon-white pattern along his lower jaw, throat, and belly. Framed by a rugged frontal crest and a thick counterbalancing tail, his electric-blue eyes scan the battlefield with sharp, unblinking intensity.

He is rarely seen without his custom-forged, thick steel armor, designed with a striking interwoven metallic band style and high neck guards that offer maximum protection while maintaining open-faced mobility. Wielding a rune-carved breaching pike and anchoring the front lines with Riparo—a towering steel shield bearing Draconic runes and an ancestral emblem—he forms an unbreakable barrier. Together with his close companion Lucina, who acts as the sword to his shield, Difesa forms the indomitable core of his adventuring party.

Beyond his raw defensive power, Difesa serves as the party's dedicated caretaker, ensuring his allies are always equipped with the finest gear and safely patched up from any wounds. Clipped to his white-and-grey leather harness are specialized toolkits: a repair kit marked with the smithing symbols of Gaasham on his left, and a medical kit adorned with a Desna-inspired butterfly outline on his right. Blending draconic might with meticulous craftsmanship, he stands as the steadfast heart and unyielding protector of his crew.

Feel free to reach me out if you're interested in my works!

Hi Reddit! This is a commission I did a few months ago and... may or may not procrastinate a lot more than I should on posting it... anyway...

Kyvel is a paladin-wizard melee combatant, heavily inspired by Greek Mythology (according to the description I got). The customer requested two portraits for him, one in armor and one in civilian clothing, both with pretty clear instructions about the design elements. I take my creative chances here and there though, making it a paired design with matching motifs and paired posing while hopefully still preserving the vibe gap between the two modes. He's primarily a melee combatant, so the wizard element is limited to a humble spell book pouch in the civilian outfit, which I personally found endearing somehow. Shout out to Grey for the commission and this great creative experience!

This year I attempted ‘Smaugust’ during August, which is a drawing challenge artists can join where they must design a dragon almost every day!

This was one of my final designs in which the prompt word was ‘Swan’.

I thought of how vicious and quite dangerous swans naturally are, and immediately imagined some sort of Hydra for this design, with many coiling, hissing, angry necks flailing around!

I also thought to exaggerate their teeth more, and their usual beaks are actually their jaw!

Drawn entirely with pencil, alcohol markers and ink.

I hope you enjoy my design, I may even digitally sculpt this creature one day to resin print into an original monster miniature 😄

Thanks for looking!

Wow, holy shit. I didn't think I would have so much fun. We all laughed for hours, and my character turned out to be completely different from how I imagined it or even anticipated. It's so odd how it just took a life of its own. I thought I'd just share my experience with how much FUN I had, and I can't wait until the next session! Has anyone thought this is how my character is going to be, and then boom, it's a completely different character that you didn't even expect? Or think this is not what I thought. How did my character become this? It's so odd how it happened

I recently got into a game that seemed pretty good on the surface of it. Even though I was coming three dozen sessions in, at level 8, the party seemed to get along well enough and the DM was chill.

Before my intro session, after significant time and effort had been spent (at DM instruction) on character creation and integration, I was told that the wait to get me into the scene might be around 1-1.5h and the DM asked if I’d be okay with that. I said that that this would be okay, but as long as it’s not much longer.

Come session time, one hour turns into two, which turns into three - all without the party doing anything important or time sensitive which they couldn’t have done at any other time. They were also not in the middle of anything when the session started so this was entirely new for the session.

After the three hours, the DM called for a break. During this time, I told him that I feel bad and disrespected for having made to wait for three hours (the session was meant to go for 4-5h) and I leave.

Did I make the right call? Would you have handled it differently?

Here's Aria, a horned tiefling adventurer I designed as an original character for D&D. The sheet shows a front and back view of the full outfit plus three expression studies: worried, cheerful, and fierce. I wanted the red skin, silver hair, and golden talon-shaped pauldrons to stand out against the layered brown leather armor, with bandaged legs and knee guards that suggest a rogue or scout who has seen plenty of fights. The curved gold details repeat on the boots and bracer to tie the design together. Drawn digitally in Medibang Paint Pro.
