The battle was already in chaos when Naya stepped onto the battlefield.

Steel clashed against steel. Spells flashed across the air. Arrows flew between warriors as the enemy pushed forward from every side. The adventurers were fighting desperately to hold their ground, but they were heavily outnumbered.

Then Naya arrived.

The Tiefling Sorcerer stepped forward, her eyes immediately scanning the battlefield. She saw the scattered adventurers trying to defend themselves. She saw the enemies closing in around them. More importantly, she saw them gathered together in one place.

Naya stopped.

She didn't need to ask what was happening.

She didn't need to ask who was winning.

She simply looked at the battlefield and saw an opportunity.

Her hand slowly rose.

A faint glow appeared around her fingers.

The air began to heat.

The flames started as a tiny spark in the palm of her hand, but within seconds they grew brighter and more intense. Fire curled around her fingers, twisting and dancing as magical energy gathered inside her.

Several enemies noticed her.

They turned toward the Tiefling.

Naya remained completely still.

The battlefield seemed to pause for a brief moment.

Then she raised her hand toward the mass of enemies.

Fire exploded from her palm.

The spell spread outward in a violent wave, covering a wide area of the battlefield. Flames rushed across the ground and erupted around the enemies caught inside its range.

One after another, they were swallowed by the blast.

The battlefield disappeared beneath a wall of fire.

The orange light illuminated the surrounding warriors, weapons, armor, and smoke. The roar of the flames drowned out the sounds of combat as the spell continued to burn through the enemy formation.

Naya stood behind the blast, watching the flames spread across the battlefield.

She had only just arrived, but she had already turned her attention toward the largest concentration of enemies.

The fire eventually began to fade.

Smoke filled the battlefield.

The flames disappeared, leaving scorched ground and scattered enemies behind.

For a moment, everything became quiet.

Naya lowered her hand.

The battle had changed.

The enemies that had been surrounding the adventurers were no longer standing together. Their formation had been broken by a single spell.

Naya looked across the battlefield once again.

There were still enemies left.

The fight wasn't over.

But now, the adventurers had an opening.

Naya had stepped into the battle at exactly the right moment, and instead of taking her time to find a target, she immediately unleashed her magic across as many enemies as possible.

The Tiefling Sorcerer stood among the smoke and fading flames, ready for whatever came next.

Today sketch and immediately turn it into entrance for her turns out loving it more. What do you think?

The title explains the post, I'm genuinely curious as a budding DM on how these things can be misinterpreted. In my case I was running a game of Strahd, and a Player casted detect Good and Evil. In the rules, it basically lets you sense the presence of aberrations, celestials, elementals, the fey, fiends, or the undead within 30 feet of you, as well as where they're located.

Upon telling them they sensed something inside of a house and where, they asked whether or not they were "Good or Evil", and if so, how much. I explained it to the player, but they legit got defensive over it. Turns out they've been using it wrong for years. I can only wonder how many plots were spoiled because of that.

Anyway, what's yours? Mine is pretty tame, but I think it's the first case of many. I hope that by seeing misinterpretations I could both learn more about spells/spellcasting in general, and how to deal with these kinds of things moving forwards.

Fullbody commission i have finished sometime during August. i have always had soft spot for tiefling with unique skin tones so i was particularly excited to execute it and depict all the shades of pinks, purples and a bit of reds. This character is so gorgeous.
i had so mcuh fun rendering the mechanical arm and her hair, despite me usually not painting complex metal parts, i am glad i challenged myself with this and got it done. Her eletrical burnmarks are definitely tge part im most proud of!

A commission I worked on some time ago, but one that has stayed close to my heart.

A former prostitute who set out on an adventure after some trials and tribulations stemming from her old job... Now she spends time with other outcasts like herself, living somewhat on the fringes of society—but as we know, once you’re an adventurer, many things are forgiven, and others are forgotten.

I love working on these kinds of commissions where you get to know the character a little better, hehe.

Can be for players or DMs

Obviously this is a comedic bad advice thread, don't actually do these things

I got around to finishing up this character illustration of a player’s gunslinger character. Since my last post, I touched up a few details on the full body, and added the portrait, which is something I usually include in all my full body pieces.

For her portrait, I decided to try something a little different, and I went with more of an action shot. A portrait is usually useful in showing more detail of the character’s face, but I felt that seeing this character in action would really suit her overall vibe, as we can see her face relatively clearly in the full body depiction anyway. Even though her face is covered, I felt it would say more about her than a typical close up shot would.

I am very pleased with the personality and movement I feel I’ve achieved in this piece, and to be more specific, I’m really proud of the hands. Hands are difficult to draw, at least for me, however they carry just as much weight as the face and facial expressions. I have made an effort lately to focus more on the hands and what they’re doing, even if they’re not doing much.

I really enjoyed painting this piece. I look forward to doing many more and I hope to improve more as I go.

About a year ago, I started playing DnD for the first time, and it has been the most fun I've had with my friends since then. So, to celebrate it's 1 year, I decided to go back and redesign my first character, a Warlock Changeling named Orphideus. I chose a changeling mostly because I couldn't decide what race I should be, so I chose one that could be them all. He was really fun to play as he had a calm and polite demeanor but was also a bit creepy. What do you guys think of the design? And what was your first DnD character?

I run Wolves of Welton one shot so many times and I realized I needed sheep for the opening encounter, but minis are so expensive and I dont need only 1! So, being an illustrator, I got to work and made a cute set of 4 I can print as needed.

Things happened and I ended up with a whole farm.

I feel I should make a goat next, for wild sheep chase. What do you think? What else am I missing?

For those who'd like your own minis: you can do one from basically any image, just mirror it, paste half circles at each bottom of the images. print 2 extra circles that will be pasted together, fold, cut, paste the images between themselves and the half circles to the base.

Hello! I wanted to share the design I did for Karrah, one of my characters. They were originally made as a PC, but they're now sitting as a NPC in a different campaign (but maybe I'll get the chance to play them properly in the future!)

They're a bit of a mad scientist of sorts trying to figure out resurrection in order to fulfill a promise they made to their late partner. They have a heart of gold, surprisingly, but their pursuit and obsession to fulfill said promise has made their moral code to falter, to say the least. Karrah generally still hopes to do good and it does its best to help those around them, but their off-putting pursuit (and utter lack of social skills) make them struggle quite a bit with actually socializing. They've been holed up in their underground laboratory for decades now.

They're also a doctor (a prosthesist, specifically). And they're damn fine at their job, if you don't mind visiting the local cryptid for a check up!

As a very random fun fact, the whole doctoring stuff is something they picked up out of need. Their true dream job was being a marine biologist

Hello everyone! Thought I could give some context before:

First of all, I'm a massive fan of RPG and DND, I love watching it, I love playing RPG and DND (or at least, with medieval fantasy aesthetics) games, I love hearing about it, and I SPECIALLY LOVE drawing DnD and RPG characters!

But I don't really PLAY it. I've played AND even DMed a small oneshot in the past. But, due to shyness + it takes too much of my time, and since drawing is my part-time job, I prefer to actually work than give time to play a session, or find a group.

UNTIL, a week ago. I was exploring some product ideas, and I decided to make some DND Character Sheets samples to sell. Alright, no worries! I'll make two sample characters and study how the sheet works, and then I can get to drawing.

I started reading the Player's Handbook to understand specifically how the mechanics worked, bonuses, proeficiency, saving throws and then I got very invested on it.

Some of my friends and content creators I interact with had encouraged me to find a group and give it a chance again, so I thought "Y'know what, I'LL MAKE my first character and PLAY with him and find a group!"

So, what actually started as a product, it became my very personal project and creation, and I'm so happy that I managed to get some time to actually look up into the mechanics and learn more about it, or else I would never have created Vlad Vincent, my dear hexblade warlock, lmao.

I'm not sure if I got the spells right, so please, if there's anything wrong, feel free to correct me, I'm a VERY newbie player and I want to learn more about it!

That's it, thank you for reading until here! :)

Small note: While I was working on him, I managed to find a party to have a session! So, I'm excited and nervous to play him!

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback, everyone! The new numbers for the abilities are: STR 9 | DEX 14 | CON 14 | INT 9 | WIS 13 | CHA 16
