Born beneath a sky where two moons eclipsed each other, Aelira was never an ordinary elven mage. As a child, she discovered that her wings could absorb spells that were cast incorrectly, carrying unstable magic within their shimmering membranes. Over the years, she learned to control this strange gift, shaping the stolen magic into flames, spectral threads, and bursts of pure arcane energy.

But every spell she absorbs leaves a fragment of its creator’s emotions inside her. Anger becomes fire, fear becomes darkness, and joy becomes brilliant light. Aelira now wanders from town to town, searching for forgotten magic and dangerous spells before they fall into the wrong hands.

She claims she is simply collecting magic. Deep down, however, she is searching for the unfinished spell that once belonged to her mother, hoping that completing it will finally reveal why her own wings were born with such unusual power.

I had so much fun working on this commission, hope you all enjoy it!

If you liked it, here are my social media profiles, feel free to check out more of my work here 🤝

I have the following scenario play out repeatedly almost every session with player B and I don’t really know what to do to get her to stop.

Player A: I’d like to try …..

DM: Roll a (insert relevant skill) check.

Player A: I got a 5

DM: “You don’t see anything/you try to unlock the door but it proves too challenging for you/etc”

Player B who wasn’t asked to roll and didn’t say they were doing anything: “I got a 19”.

Player B does this almost every time I ask any other player to roll a skill check.

Without being asked to roll a skill check and without saying or describing what her character is doing she will roll a d20 and tell me how well she rolled.

A lot of times it’s fine but there are some situations where it’s just not feasible to have another player roll after the first player fails.

Is this something that I need to address? If so, how?

Hive Queen

Her Majesty, the Hive Queen! This formidable fey boss doesn’t fight alone. The Hive Queen can summon and command her own throng, wield powerful magic, and use an array of abilities designed to challenge even the most experienced adventuring parties.

And a word of advice before you face her: if you haven’t given your weapon a name yet, you’d better do it quickly. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

This is Marcus, a character I was asked to paint for a player. He’s a human fighter who looks rough, but has a heart of gold.

For this piece I was not given very much of a description, but rather a few good HeroForge images as reference. I kept a lot of the overall look consistent, but I added much more detail to the armor and altered some functional aspects of his appearance. I did keep the lantern the same however, because I really liked its simple and geometric look.

I approached this piece in a different way than I typically would, but I actually think it’s going to be the way that I operate from now on. I have used this method with 2 other works, but I feel like it’s really clicked for me with this one. Instead of sketching and then drawing clean line art, filling in flat color, then shading, then rendering, I just built up shapes. Both organic and geometric in style, I painted shapes and forms until I was satisfied with the result. It feels much more painterly, solid, and is a lot more fun for me.

This is my favorite piece that I’ve done so far, and my goal is to make all my work feel like this one moving forward.

First off, the winner of last week's giveaway: https://www.redditraffler.com/raffles/1w0pc53

Congratulations, u/V_C_Drache! I'll be reaching out to you to get the necessary information to fulfill this giveaway.

A little while ago, I came out with the Magical Code of Regulations, 500 pages of law governing the use of magic. It started as a fun little project while I was working as an auditor at the IRS, and turned into a whole worldbuilding project I don't think I'll ever truly stop. It has laws governing everything ranging from necromancy, magical conservation easements, and familiars, to dragons, fireballs, and Chosen Ones. Great for D&D players and DMs, lawyers, accountants, worldbuilders, fantasy writers, and people that just want a really cool coffee table book. I promise it is the most in-depth magical law you've ever read.

Here's what some people have had to say about it:

"An unnecessarily comprehensive and deeply inconvenient framework. Several of my longstanding plans now require prior authorization." -Glorgon the Destroyer, Antagonistic Entity of Prophetic Significance #33

"Clear, thorough, and appropriately burdensome. I have no notes, though I will be requesting additional documentation." -Arthur B. Wexler, Senior Auditor, Department of Magical Affairs

Since release, I've made nearly 5k sales, this book is #1 on IngramSpark in fantasy over the last 60 days (for you booksellers looking for a cool book for your store), and will even have an officially licensed Chinese edition on the way (more details to come later)!

As a way to give back a bit, I will be giving away one signed copy of my book with a free digital version, a customizable authorized spellcaster license, a few stickers and a bookmark, and a no-change audit letter. All you have to do to enter is comment below! The winner will be selected randomly on 9/11 using redditraffler, with only caveat being that your account must be at least 3 months old.

I appreciate all the support I've gotten from this community and others over the past couple of years, and if you'd like to support this project independent of this giveaway, you can find the Code at the following links:

Amazon (preferred): https://www.amazon.com/Magical-Code-Regulations-Spellcasting-Regulation/dp/B0GZF9PVQL/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0

NOTE: If the shipping seems extremely expensive, you may need to go to your country's storefront. If you live in the EU and your country doesn't have one, Germany (amazon.de) is usually best. I'll try my best to find options for anyone that has trouble getting it!

DriveThruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com//product/566282/the-magical-code-of-regulations?affiliate_id=5121378

If you're still not convinced, and wanted a sneak-peek, Questing Beast made a great video on it!

If you're still not convinced, know that the second edition will make ownership of the MCOR compulsory, so you might as well give in now.

On another note, many of you have asked about getting the spellcaster licenses. Working on finding a good badge printer, so hoping to offer these soon!

One of the 3 of my players character art, played on Dragon of Ice spire Peak campaign that I DM a couple years ago.

This is the backstory that I player shared at the time.

"Rei was raised by the Silent Daggers, a thieves' guild that ran jobs for the Zhentarim in Baldur's Gate. She was their tool, until she started asking questions they didn't want to answer. When they tried to silence her permanently, she left three of them bleeding in an alley and disappeared into the shadows. Now she's a ghost in the city that tried to destroy her. No family. No allies. No plan—just sharp blades and a sharper survival instinct."

Art by me. Let me know what you think!

Came across this wonderful cosplay and decided to make a fanart of the character 😁

🦋 Wilhelmina Hollin, or Mina for short, is the Fey Princess of the Autumn Court. She loves insects, but has a particular fondness for butterflies and luna moths. She is an avid writer and illustrator with a big heart. However, she won't think twice about catching you in a tricky deal and stealing your name, and doing it all with a smile.
