Just finished drawing this party shot for a client! Here are a few things about each character:

Lyra (Half-Elf Rogue) – Cool-headed and calculating, always three steps ahead. Speaks in measured tones and trusts few, but her loyalty runs deep once earned.

Roan (Human Paladin) – Honorable and unwavering, guided by a strict moral code. Acts as the group’s anchor and protector, though his rigidity can clash with less lawful companions. Believes everyone can be redeemed.

Sylvia Moon (Elf Druid) – Calm, intuitive, and deeply connected to nature. Sees the world in balance rather than right and wrong. Often mediates conflicts, though her alien perspective can make her seem distant.

Va Kesh (Dragonborn Sorcerer) – Proud and intense, with volatile magic to match. Thrives on power and expression, often acting before thinking. Beneath the bravado, he fears losing control.

This piece was a commission I worked on recently, where I leaned more toward a fantastical and magical approach rather than realism.

The character is Mael, a planeswalking wild mage from the dying world of Athas. His design focuses on exaggerated shapes and movement, with a worn oversized hat and a dynamic pose to reflect his chaotic use of magic.

One of the main challenges was balancing that energy while keeping the composition clean and readable.

He basically uses his staff as a hoverboard... so yeah, I believe he invested some points in dex

Mael is dramatic, sarcastic, and completely fascinated by magic. Coming from a world without gods, he sees magic as a way for mortals to defy them, which puts him at odds with Mystra.

I really enjoyed exploring the contrast between his chaotic nature and the more mystical elements of the design.

Hi everyone!

I’m fortunate that I play with a group of friends who don’t mind my in game chaos. I also make sure to step back or reign in when the story needs to progress or someone else would like a moment etc :)

Outside of what, though, ttrpgs feel like the one place I don’t have to worry about real world consequence, therefore don’t have to think through decisions, and it’s a lovelyyyyy break! I have know idea how not to be in survival mode in every other part of my life 😂

Seperate to this, we have just 48 hours left on Dazzling Dungeon Decks on Kickstarter to get your pledges in now if you want a copy. Supporting it also supports 4 different artists.

And for more of my ttrpg comics, you can find the, at r/TableTopComic or my linktree.

Deep in the caverns, there was once an unlucky merchant who fell victim to an ancient curse. His body twisted into a grotesque aberration, and his craving for wealth gave way to a hunger for flesh. Now, he wanders the dark, waiting for careless adventurers to quench his thirst for blood.
Legend has it, it's possible to negotiate with it and even trade... But no one is here to confirm. Maybe you, stranger, know something about this wretch? Don't be shy, tell us.

The dire tarrasque was created by Felix Irnich and illustrated by Jess Jackdaw for Fool's Gold: Into the Bellowing Wilds.

You've heard of the tarrasque, now get ready for the dire tarrasque! A deadly nightmare of power and hunger, this 70-foot-tall monstrosity bristles with spines and teeth. From the tips of its lethal horns to the end of its club-like tail, every inch of it is made to annihilate. Ungoverned, directionless destruction defines the tarrasque. It is driven only by the desire to destroy.

The tarrasque is not hungry, but it devours without limit. It will consume everything in its path with wild indifference, leaving only rubble and ash. The tarrasque is not truly evil or chaotic, and it lacks the intelligence or wisdom to take any moral stance. Created to embody world-destroying wrath, it destroys on a scale that is more like a natural disaster than a creature.

Just wanted to boast about my players, particularly their ingenuity and tenacity when SHTF. For reference, our group plays 3.5 (I tagged it with Game Tales, so I wanted to specify since some of the shenanigans are much more difficult or impossible to pull in 5e).

We play a drop-in, drop-out campaign when our usual group can't get together, and each session is (meant to be) a self-contained adventure or "heist," as we call them. We're rogues and brigands in the glistening city's seedy underbelly. Recently, a thieves' guild was essentially taken over by a vampire, who... started doing vampire things. Turning people, terrorizing the city by night, etc. The party tracked some of their spawn down to a ship docked in the harbor, where they had brought in some human "cattle" for feeding (to reduce the number of city folk who went missing on a regular basis and reduce suspicion), and our group of three characters were going to sneak onto the boat, try to free the victims, and then scuttle the ship.

Things did not go as planned.

The party didn't do any due diligence regarding traps, wards, or alarms on the boat, so by the time they were on its deck, every enemy was alerted to their presence. The party was invisible and silent, due to invisibility sphere and silence, but one of the enemies (the lookout) had a scout's headband for a once-a-day see invisibility effect to be used when the alarm went off, if they didn't see anyone. They also had some glitterdust bombs to make invisible enemies very much visible.

The encounter starts in dead silence, and one of our characters, the bard, was waiting for a cue in the water to board the ship's stern. A cue that she would never be able to hear because the other two had silence active. So the battle, for the most part, was 2 party members (a beguiler and a duskblade) against 5 or 6 enemies, one of which was a vampire spawn.

The party starts giving ground, trying to back their way off the ship, but the enemies are eating away at the party's hit points. Finally, the beguiler drops his silence spell because otherwise, he's useless. He manages to hit every single enemy on the deck, including the vampire spawn, with slow, making them also quite useless. But the vampire spawn has a neat little trick and turns into mist, floats down to the dock, and reforms behind them, cutting off their escape.

The bard, FINALLY able to hear the battle, leaps onto the ship's aftcastle (ok, she clambers slowly up), but she is too far from the rest of the battle to do anything for a round or two. The vampire spawn, back in his solid body, glares at the beguiler and tags him with dominate person. "Kill your friend," the spawn commands him, and the beguiler obeys. Or tries to. He launches several magic missiles from an item, bruising the duskblade.

Faced with half a dozen enemies and only one ally far away, the duskblade tries something desperate. On one round, he casts ray of enfeeblement at the vampire spawn, connecting and reducing its Strength by 9 points (undead are immune to Strength damage but not penalties). After another round in which he resists the vampire spawn's dominate person and soaks more damage from the beguiler, our duskblade does the unthinkable: he charges at the spawn, bull rushes it into the water, and wrestles with the thing underwater!

In 3.5, there are many conventional ways to kill a vampire: exposure to sunlight, driving a stake through its heart and then destroying the body, etc. One that I've never seen used is that "immersing a vampire under running water robs it of 1/3 of its hit points each round until it is destroyed." It also indicates that being immersed in water has the same effects as sunlight, so the vampire can only use a move action or attack action and cannot use its gaseous form ability (otherwise, how would you hold it underwater?). I ruled that the moving, sloshing, tide-driven water of the harbor certainly counted as "running water" (especially since the example they gave of vampires being unable to cross it included needing to be ferried across the sea in its coffin), so yeah. This counted. The vampire thrashed as best it could, but not only was it slowed, its Strength score was now a 7, and its chances of escaping the grapple were next to nothing.

In short, our duskblade wrassled a vampire underwater like a gator for nearly half a minute until it Alka-Seltzered itself into oblivion. And the party finally was able to regroup, fix the domination on the beguiler, rescue the prisoners, and set fire to the ship before limping home, battered but ultimately victorious.

Love my players. :D

Hi guys... I just wanted to share some of the wands I've recently hand forged. Really have fun with these and looking forward to trying some new designs and maybe different materials in the future. These are all hand forged out of 1/2" square bar steel and 3/8" stainless steel round bar, with wood or epoxy handles. Kinda learning as I go so any feedback would be much appreciated. I'll be the first to admit I don't know much about the dos and don'ts of wands and these are definitely leaning a little more on the "darker" side of things. Hope you enjoy them. please delete if not allowed. cheers !

"The forest was covered in snow, a white sea were red stains of blood recently spilled. Steel and theet both found their way into their armors, and no shield served them well enough to make it out of there. The cold sun was rising, but more foes would soon arrive: there was no time. The Oath was almost fulfilled".

Hi all, I recently worked on this illustration and wanted to share it here, hope it will inspire you something, and that you will enjoy it!

I really liked to work on it, since setting the scene in a snow covered forest with a knight and a dragon covered in blood would have create a cool and strong contrast with white and red to narrate what happened, or let one imagine it at least!

I am a ttrpgs illustrator, oriented on fantasy and dark fantasy genres.

I am open for commissions and to work on projects, so feel free to DM me if you want some art like that one I shared.

You can find more of my art on my ig: simone_tammetta_art

Thanks a lot for taking a look!
