Vaelis was born an orphan in a quiet religious town. Her blood was different enough to be noticed, powerful enough to be feared, and dangerous enough to be controlled but never enough to be accepted. When the townsfolk realized fire answered her call, they decided such power should not belong to her alone. They forgot that fire cannot be controlled, much like her spirit. Their greed demanded more than she could give, and in the end, it was that greed that reduced the town to cinder.

Digital painting, Photoshop.

I didn’t expect the eye choice to change the whole personality this much, but here we are. Same sculpt, same paint job, same angry floating meatball… and somehow each eye gives him a totally different energy.

I’ve been staring at them for too long and now I genuinely can’t tell which one fits him best. Fresh opinions needed. Which one would you keep if this was yours — and why? Let me know in the comments.

Keefie Stormholt was expelled from his magic academy for attempting to infuse magic with rifles as his thesis. Instead of giving up, he's taken to adventuring as a way to fund his research, and an opportunity for first hand field testing!

I love the owlin so much, I've been wanting to play one for two years now. It sucks that they get basically zero official lore, but I'm super excited to play him anyway!

One of the best character commissions i have ever reveived. i had so much fun drawing it and coming up with the composition and coloring. Bringing out her lunar magic was a little bit of challenge but non the less exciting. this was done as a personal illustration for oneof the party of friends.

I love how she turned out, what a joy of character to depict overall, tritons in my opinions are more of the underrated races i dont see often depicted in any significant way in modern dnd art which is a bit of a shame. Anyway, i hope you like how she turned out too <3

Hello again :)

A DND party I drew. A bit of text from the description the client gave me:

"Dmitri. Goliath - Paladin/Warlock.

Dmitri grew up with the goliath tribe of Wyrmdoom Crag deep in the mountain range of The Spine of the World. During a pilgrimage he embarked on in the mountains, he came close to dying but was saved by Naki-Uthai, the goliath deity of mountains and bravery. From then on he became devoted to Naki and was given instruction by them to end the eternal winter that had taken hold of the already cold lands of Icewind Dale.

He later made many friends when he joined the Dawnseekers and has fought the likes of evil hags and mighty frost giants. He has slain the mighty orc warlord Vokarr Eyebiter. He has brought peace to the rival goliath tribes of Wyrmdoom Crag and Skytower and was gifted a magical shield as a result of this. All that is left to do now is make his final stand against Auril, the evil goddess of winter’s wrath who is responsible for the curse on these lands.

Delliah Skyvinth. Tiefling - Monk/Wizard.

Delliah grew up on the outskirts of the bustling southern city of Waterdeep and was raised by her mother, father, and older brother. Her childhood ended abruptly however when she witnessed her brother be killed while he was working as a guard for one of the rich nobles of the city named Orym Balthyra. All that was sent to her and her mourning family were some wilted flowers and a half hearted letter of condolence. Filled with rage at the injustice of losing her brother, Delliah became rebellious, causing her parents to send her to the monastery of the Erudition. During her time there, she wrote an exposé detailing the practices of several nobles in Waterdeep as well as Baldur’s Gate and exposing them as devil worshippers. Afterwards, she decided it would be best to go on a “research trip” to Icewind Dale in the far north to lay low for a while.

After growing somewhat tired of detailing the countless fauna and wildlife in Icewind Dale, she decided to join the adventuring group that eventually became the Dawnseekers and do some good. On their first adventure is where they freed and adopted her pet polar bear Piergeron who has been a loyal companion ever since. During her adventures, she has been pushed to her limits both physically and mentally in ways she hadn’t known before, in addition to finding Orym and ending his life herself. She wants to save the people of Icewind Dale from the curse of eternal winter, but the only way she feels that is possible now is to get stronger. By any means necessary.

Loke Ijyerssen. Human/Cleric.

Loke grew up in a small town called Bryn Shander far up north. He grew up with two loving parents but they eventually fell to illness when he was young and was then taken care of by a priestess in a small temple dedicated to the god of morning light, Amaunator. He grew up and became a cleric of Amaunator himself. At some point he joined the secret organization of the Harpers, a group dedicated to the prevention of political corruption and defended the weak.

After the Everlasting Rime began and froze over Icewind Dale, Loke looked to make a difference in his town and joined the adventuring group of the Dawnseekers whose goal is to defeat the evil goddess Auril and end the curse. While adventuring with the Dawnseekers, Loke lost his arm to a great white dragon and barely escaped with his life. He eventually came across a prosthetic arm to replace the one he lost. After he put it on, he blessed it and Amaunator turned it into a beautiful and finely crafted arm made of a dark wood and silver metal that would shine brightly whenever he needed it to. He has the greatest determination out of all of the Dawnseekers to find and defeat Auril.

Nym. Firbolg - Barbarian.

Nym grew up mostly alone in the cold forests of Icewind Dale and learned how to survive in the tundra before she knew anything else. Her family had died due to disease leaving her to fend for herself. Later in life she was kidnapped by mindflayers on a large nautiloid ship and injected with a ceremorph parasite. The ship crashed and she was able to escape and fled to town where she eventually joined up with the Dawnseekers.

After going on several adventures with them and even being killed by duergar and brought back to life again, the parasite in her head began to stir and she led the Dawnseekers back to where the nautiloid crashed in order to find a cure. They slayed the mindflayer inside the ship and Loke performed surgery on Nym while Delliah attempted to slow the ship’s self-destruct sequence, giving them enough time for everyone to escape. Nym finally has a family to call her own with the Dawnseekers and not even an evil goddess of winter’s wrath will stop her from protecting them.

Piergeron. A chubby polar bear whose diet consists of berries, honey, and trout from the nearby lakes - It has a couple scars on its back and sides from when goblins used him to pull their sleds - It’s favorite person in the group is Delliah who calls him her “good boy”.

I hope you liked what I did :) To see more of my characters, I invite you to my Instagram. See you there! :)

Briefly she s a runaway teen drow and druid with a goal to explore, see as many animals and cute critters as possible and enjoy the nature on the surface..

[5th edition campaign]

Druidic focus: a necklace with her 💀 pet’s fang (a bit grim lol)

Creatures she transforms into always have some sort of lilac almost white hair or coloring somewhere

Has a notebook where she doodles, draws maps, takes notes and tips and where she stores a little sending stone to keep in contact with her mentor and father-figure from her home city in the underdark.

Some of her flaws are morbid curiosity, recklessness if she s very excited for an adventure, “can’t read the room from time to time”, will help an animal in distress before helping her party members (at least for now)

I might make a heroforge mini of her and get it printed out as a souvenir just because its my very first campaign and she might die any day now lmao

It’s my first time making an Owlin! Her name is Hermii, and she’s a Monk~ 🥺👉🏻👈🏻 She’s not the most talkative, usually mimicking and acting more like a bird in her mannerisms, but to her, every one is friend! (Or potential friend lol)

She’s very loyal to those who she deems her “flock” or bestest friends! I’d say she’s Chaotic Good, only because she does what she thinks is best for those she cares about, even if it breaks conventional rules or maybe sometimes laws LOL Think Polities and Hermes personalities combined (Epic Saga coded) 👀 She indeed greets the world with open arms! (Or wings lol)

Fun fact: She sometimes turns her head around like Owls do to look at something, forgetting how creepy it can be for those around her LOL perhaps even scaring children before 😅

Bases I used are by Keeble and NikaidoArts~

Now, in my challenge to "draw as many races as possible," I've reached the Minotaur! I felt that a female character would be able to express much more emotion and personality than a male one. This time I didn't put much thought into choosing a class — probably a fighter or another melee combatant. I also decided to experiment a little and add some visual interest by playing with the color palette. What do you think of this approach?

P.S. Is it just me, or do my female characters turn out better than my male ones?

As it is Valentine’s Day, I just wanted to share how much dnd has made me and my fiancé’s relationship stronger than it has ever been and how thankful I am for this creative and fun game for bringing us closer.

We’ve been together for almost 5 years, and for the first few years we were happy, sure, but we both had such different hobbies and the only thing we really bonded over was the shows or animes we watched. He plays video games and I wasn’t much of a gamer but I love drawing and writing.

I have played dnd before with friends and would occasionally play online with them. So about two years ago he mentioned that to one of his friends and his friend got excited and wanted to join. The campaign I was in at the time was falling off due to scheduling issues so I suggested we just start our own in person campaign and I would take a stab at DMing. This would be the start of our DnD obsession.

From there, I began running a couple different campaigns that my fiancé would happily be a player in, and we started taking walks to the local game shop together and be players at other tables. At one point we were playing dnd 5 times a week. We met a lot of mutual friends through different campaigns and still continue to play with them. I also started getting into gaming, specifically Baulder’s Gate, so we can continue the world of fantasy outside of our campaigns.

There’s something about being able to watch my fiancé’s face light up when he talks about character builds and his ever growing character arsenal that fills me with so love for him. We would stay up for hours at night in bed brainstorming our characters together and their backstories. There’s one campaign we were in where we wanted to romance each other and we would talk about how we want their relationship to grow. I would draw our characters and he would watch me draw or make suggestions about how he wants his characters to look and we be cookin fr.

We play around two times a week now but literally we still keep talking about it every day. I love him so much and I love being able love dnd with him.

I just need to laminate them at work on Monday, and then they're done! We used Canva to make them, with me providing the necessary information and suggestions, and her making the actual design, given that she works with the program at work, so she knows it a whole lot better than I do. We made them roughly the size of Pokemon cards, which I think is the perfect balance between readability and convenience, when we inevitably have a lot of spells to keep track of, when we get further into our campaign. Has anyone toyed with making their own spell cards?
