I had a rough day yesterday and a friend of mine spontaneously dm‘d a little oneshot for me online to make me feel better. I love Tieflings but never really get to play them because I usually go for little chaotic goblins as they’re more fun. I drew a little sketch for the character I made up yesterday and ended up liking her a lot so I thought I’d work some more on her. This is Faye, she’s a Tiefling Bard and always accompanied by her little Quasit familiar Squibbles (I‘m gonna draw her as well, she‘s got a little bow on her head 🥸). Would you add the tattoos on her shoulders? I feel like they make her look a bit mean but she’s actually quite nice 🌸

Commission I did for russianWraith 🩷

The piece was created based on the character details provided by the client, i had a great time drawing this beautiful character 💕

Nihila Mythwind is a drow Sword Dancer of Eilistraee, blending grace and steel in equal measure. Her movements are as much prayer as combat, honoring the Dark Maiden through dance, music, and the arc of her blade. A character rooted in elegance, faith, and quiet defiance.

“Holy Diver”, that was the very first name the client mentioned when explaining this character.

Right away, I was pleasantly surprised: a client had come to me requesting a commission inspired by none other than Ronnie James Dio! The character is a warrior, and his appearance was inspired by the Holy Diver music video, which led me to the fun task of researching references directly from the video itself.

But a character inspired by Dio couldn’t be just any ordinary warrior. This hero is a devotee of draconic gods and, in his pursuit to rival the monsters he worships, he is also a dragon slayer! (Yet another reference for Dio fans to catch).

Hello, evervone! Sharing possibly my last portrait 1 will make of my Life Cleric, Erinith who I am currently playing as in our Waterdeep Dragonheist Campaign I say last because after three vears and over 100 plus sessions, our story is finally coming to a close today in one final whole day session. This would be my first time to actually finish a campaign so I wanted to do a portrait much like those old oil paintings I suppose that you find hung up in mansions. Hope you all enjoy!

Hello everyone, I hope this is cool to post & I will try to keep this as succinct as possible!

So this past week was session one of a brand new campaign I was really excited to start. Normally I GM & that is where most of my experience with the game lies. I’ve been able to find one shots here & there but I was really excited to join a game & finally get to make my own PC that I was a little more serious about compared to the often “jokey” or “fun” characters I usually play for the one shots because they just end up getting scrapped when I’m done, & I was really excited to develop that character over what would hopefully be months or years. Well as you know from the title, my PC was killed, here’s how:

There were six of us, we were all separately tasked with a sailing voyage, which sets sail & we get to the first checkpoint & it’s a little island where we get off & mingle with the locals & try to get recruits to work the ship with us or buy random supplies, my character decided to buy some inks & paper & go sketch wildlife by the beach for her studies, the rogue went on a hunt to try to get us some more meat, the others are working on recruiting or just bumming around town..

Cue the tsunami. I try to warn people because me & our cook notice it first but he doesn’t know what it is & I do. I fail the save to convince people & roll an 8+1, I know not great but it does nothing at all, not even a single person on the island is remotely convinced even though a massive wall of water is now visibly barreling towards them. Okay cool. Other players are scrambling to get to safety, I roll a 19 & shape water myself out of the wave as does our genassi, danger averted. Lost some town folks but the party survived. Sick.

Wait, not sick, there’s a pirate ship now, & it’s full of hyenas & gnolls. Cue naval battle. We are not doing well. There are a total of 18 enemies. We start trying to deal with a wave of six hyenas swimming at us. We take care of four in the water, two make it to shore & start fighting some of our guys & then the next group comes, six gnolls in a boat. I’m out of spell slots at this point being a level 1 wizard, & my cantrips can’t do damage. I’m on the bow of the boat & had just magic missled the gnolls & my last act was reaching down & telling a little seaweed person that we just recruited to crew to run as far away as possible & hide. This is the point that the DM shot my character with a cannon. No rebuttal, no death save because it was 32 points of damage & my character’s HP was 7. I ended up playing as the seaweed person for the remainder of the game & avenging my character by shattering the gnolls who killed her (the seaweed person ended up being a level 4 bard).

What’s worse is that the enemies ended up getting away. We couldn’t finish taking out four of them & they were retreating. We left the game with them sailing out of range. So now the other players are stranded on an island that was just destroyed by a tsunami, our ship is destroyed, & the only other possible mode of transportation just sailed away. I’m really struggling to see a path forward going into to session two.

Thank you to those who are still here & reading, I know it’s a lot but I think the context of how everything went down is pretty important.

So my main issues are that:

1. After the session the DM did message me & said if I really want to revive my character that there is an antagonist coming up that could *potentially* revive them for a penalty. Sweet, you bloodmisted my PC in session one & the only way I get to have them back is if I take a negative effect? That seems really whack.
2. Encounter was way too difficult & this was not even remotely discussed. Player death was mentioned specifically if it made sense. Shooting your Level 1 PC with a weapon meant to deal damage to a ship with 100hp & not a person with 10hp was a really wild choice. They saw the opportunity to outright kill my PC & immediately took it.
3. What would’ve happen if it was the person who’s first time ever playing DnD was that night & you went all malevolent GM on them & murdered their very first ever PC in their very first session & not me? I’m actually glad it was me of all people at the table because they could’ve very easily turned someone off of the game forever. It just seems like such bad form & shows a really extreme lack of consideration of the player’s experience..

If it were me & I was the GM & realized I accidentally threw my level ones into an unwinnable battle because maybe I’m used to designing encounters for level 10s & didn’t quite nerf it enough, ended up killing someone, & left them beaten with no resources, I would pull a “it was all a dream, we used magic to simulate a battle to determine your offices on the ship based on your performance” or *something*, like it could be such an easy course correct & no one ends up feeling sore.

Anyways, I’m pretty sure I’m going to politely bow out, I’m just unsure if I should raise concerns about why I’m leaving that could potentially leave the discussion open to debate or pushback, or just politely yet firmly say our play styles don’t seem to mesh & I’m going to continue the search for another table.

To those who stuck with me to the end, thank you so much & any advice is greatly appreciated!

We're playing The Sunless Citadel in February, so I made art of my character. She's an Eldritch Knight Fighter Warforged

Made by gnomish artificers, Atlas is a bodyguard robot that has been serving the family of the Hucrele Merchant Guild for the past 4 years. She acts as the personal guardian of their main inheritors, Talgen and Sharwyn Hucrele. On their way to explore the Sunless Citadel, Atlas and the twins were separated as she left to seek outside help, losing the siblings. So now she's going to the deepest bowels of the citadel to ensure her duty is done. Her and Sharwyn are mutually attracted to each other, but can't be together due to Atlas being a construct. How will this forbidden love unfold?

Hello everyone. I'm a big Frieren fan and wanted to represent Serie's test in a DnD format. I would like your input for accuracy.

Context for this scene will be spoilers for the first season of the show.

The scene is the final test for a first class mage exam. proctored by Serie, an ancient elf of immense power and knowledge. She is known for her sharp intuition and she passes or fails them based on her immediate impression.

The first five failed because Serie's overwhelming mana, even while suppressed, intimidates them. I figured Wisdom was the primary attribute for countering Intimidation checks.

Denken and Ubel pass their strength check because of their daring to challenge Serie in spite that her power dwarfs their own.

Wirbel chooses the answer Serie is looking for.

Land passes because Serie sees right through his ruse, but applauds his audacity to use clones in her presence.

Fern passes because she is the only mage that detects fluctuations in Serie's masked mana. Serie is so impressed that she offers to give Fern personal instruction - the highest honor a mage could achieve.

Methode is neither intimidated or attempts to persuade or challenge, which leads Serie to inquire what's on her mind. Methode replies that she thinks Serie is cute. Serie is baffled and lets her pass.

And then there's Frieren. She attempts to persuade her by stating her favorite spell, which happens to be the favorite spell of Serie's former pupil (who is also Frieren's master). It rubs Serie the wrong way - not only does she fail Frieren, she bans her from all magic academies for the next 1000 years.

Hello there! Darell here. Made an illustration for a friend of my campaign buddy who played a Halfling Battlemaster, Ayra Summersong! We try to keep everything still looks realistic/grounded in our worldbuilding so this is what he's come up with for her apparel/equipments. The idea is that she uses her main weapon, the scimitar to lure her enemies into some weapon clashing and stab the enemy when they're being riposted/parried! So here's her visual looks that I've come up with!

If you'd like my work, consider seeing more!

I’ve been working with digital watercolor professionally for some time now. Recently, my husband encouraged me to branch out and start offering icons for DnD characters—starting with our party and my own PC. While my clients and friends have been happy with the results, I have this lingering feeling that my art style leans a bit too much into a "childish" aesthetic. I’d love to get some honest feedback from the community on this! This is Bartholomew Hornygold, the greatest pirate the Sword Coast has ever seen (at least according to him). Perched on his shoulder is his trusty old friend, Slaughter.
