Hello everyone !

Here is Cordelia Maribelle Rose, she is a vampire lore mastery wizard ! I have been playing her for more than a year and she has been incredibly fun, but I guess that’s because she is a wizard after all.

I drew her in this outfit because our campaign is taking us to a desert and I assume this is what a Victorian spoiled immortal brat would look like ! Hope you like it !

Which brings me to another topic, I am opening my commissions in case anybody is interested, feel free to look at my profile to see my other drawings ! I will put the rates in the comments in case people want to know them, please DM if you want to do a project with me !

The whispers never cease.
The hymns and horrors of a disease
Vibrates through the shield and the lips
Who always emit a ghastly wheeze.
Yet to understand the freezing breeze
You must wear the face as your shield,
As for the uninitiated of the Giant’s hymns
Their veins are cursed with fungous chills!

The Paladin's mission is to protect humanity from the forces that endanger their survival.
He is tasked with the torment of resilience against the formidable powers of the skin.
His mind must be tough as iron and his physical resilience to match the powers of creatures never seen before by human eyes.

Got the opportunity to work on these awesome group of characters for u/frillyfia

The Shield of the Coast was the city of Waterdeep’s first line of defense during a catastrophic series of portals appearing, causing destruction and chaos in their wake. This motley crew is cobbled together from outcasts, rejects, and one remarkably normal cleric. Ascensions to godhood may be in some of their futures- but for now, they just want to take a break and rebuild their beloved tavern in the heart of the city.

Left to right as follows-
Zoria - Aasimar
Renaer - Human
Pyra - Tiefling
Orladaar - Dragonborn
Urobos - Earth Genasi
Timber - Tabaxi

I’m also available for commissions so please do not hesitate to reach out!

I've had the opportunity to illustrate a character for a friend that he commissioned me for.

They said that she doesn't have a name because she was once an Ancient and Sacred Forest, belonging to the Nature Goddess of the realm and at it's heart lay a Great and Sacred tree. Tales tell of it's power, and how it was rumored to be on it's way to becoming a Treant.

But Humans and other similar races destroyed that.
As a result of clear cutting, all trees were harvested for lumber, then the remains of the forest burnt to ash to make way for a new village.
The Gods, particularly the Nature Goddess whom the forest belonged to, took pity on the once magnificent forest, rich with history and sacred nature, took the life essence from every plant, from every tree and vine down to the blades of grass and flowers between them, and using the soul forge, forged a single soul from them and from the ash came new life.
As one single sapling from the once Great Tree survived, and blossomed. From this sapling my character emerged. No flesh, no meat, no bone, instead wood, vines and vegetation. The physical embodiment of the lost forest.

That's the backstory they gave me when I accepted the commission.
and they gave me additional details and references for the character.

I really enjoyed working on this and I'm proud of it.
I'm always open to illustrate interesting characters like this one, so don't hesitate to contact me if you ever want your characters commissioned.

Thank you very much !

For me personally a lot of ideas I have are either something that I dreamt about or from listening to music or just a stupid joke I thought of.

An example would be the song Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous by Good Charlotte, I was listening to that and thought it would be a fun character concept. A Robin Hood-esque character who only really steals from the ungrateful rich folk, he doesn't care if someone is rich, he only cares if they act ungrateful. In which case he steals from them and then distributes it amongst people who would be much more grateful to have that kind of money.

I want to know how you guys come up with characters, and whether you start with the backstory and decide the class based on that or the class and build the backstory around that. For me it's a mix of both.

The Gear Watch moved through the thick rusted air of the place it now found itself. The Maker did not intend this place to exist, but regardless it grew. Creeping toward their little world. Much had already been consumed. It seemed inevitable. The warrior found brief shelter by a shattered star. The clear shall had long broken and had providing a home for many unfortunate spirits. These spirits scattered as the warrior entered. The rust abated our warrior shifted its body flaking off the buildup. These tempests can be deadly should one not find shelter. The warriors arm brushed against a protrusion in the ground as they shook the rust off. Ever inquisitive, the warrior began cracking the buildup on the object only to find it to be two objects fused by rust. Using some of their limited chrism, the Watch melted away the rust to reveal what it now carries. A beautiful object of music. Upon pulling the bow across the wires it produced a beautiful note that resonated through the warrior and the surroundings. The old relic's pure note shattered the rust around it and briefly countered the storm. This Gear watch still carries this relic and now travels the Lands of rust uncovering lost members of the Gear Watch taken by Rust.

Since I’m posting anyway, I also have a few commission slots open if anyone’s been thinking about getting their character illustrated.
A few details:
Semi-realistic fantasy style
Humans, elves, half-elves, and other humanoid races
Around 2-week turnaround
50/50 PayPal (half upfront, half on completion)
Whether it’s a new character or one that’s been with you for years, I’d love to hear about them. Feel free to drop a comment or send me a DM! 🎲

Commission work : Kiln

Kiln is a swift and powerful warrior forged in the volcanic mines. Heat and stone shaped his body into living steel. He carries a massive anvil as his weapon, swinging it with crushing force. Each strike hits like thunder and breaks the ground open. Fire and magma burst from his blows, turning fights into burning chaos. He moves like a battle-forged guardian, strong, steady, and unstoppable in combat.

Am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this but, in ya’ll’s opinion what is the best YouTube DnD series or Channel? I really want to start listening/watching my first ever DnD series but don’t want to start with the big ones like Critical Role or Dimension 20, I kinda would like to watch something smaller. I do apologize if this isn’t the correct place to ask this.
