I received a request from a player recently to draw their character, Lorna, an elf of the fighter class. Below is a brief description of the character they provided, along with some notes regarding her appearance.

Backstory:
Lorna was born into a world of turmoil, her home and community ransacked as a small child, burned and destroyed, and her parents lost in the process. Wandering far from her once home, and barely surviving off the land, she was discovered by a tribe of orcs who took her in and taught her their ways.

Lorna adopted many orc customs, and although elvish by blood, is more orc at heart. She uses a blunt and brutal fighting style, and isn’t interested in etiquette or grace. She gets to the point, blows like cannonballs and bombs being released onto her adversaries.

Brief description of appearance:
I imagine her being medium brown in complexion, but with light blonde hair, coiled and abundant in the back, but tight and braided in the front. She is missing her right eye, and has a vertical scar over it, starting at the forehead and going down to her cheek.

She wears armor, but I’d prefer it to look more Greek or Roman in appearance, and with a bit of skin showing as you would see in pop culture depictions of Spartans or gladiators. Sandals are preferred over shoes or boots, and she should carry a large round mace and shield. Maybe a knife or short sword by her side, but it’s not necessary if too much trouble. A gown or cape would be nice too, but as far as color or pattern, whatever you think will work best.

I made a bard with the intent of going College of Dance at lvl 3. However, to me, just waking up one day and doing a 180 flip from fighting with ranged weapons and slinging spells to martial arts just didn't make sense. So I decided to RP the transition from the start.

We have a monk in the party so I started off trying to 'imitate' the monk. The first time I got to wade into the thick of it, pull back and let loose the biggest haymaker ever and connect... for 1 whole damage. After I talk to the monk about what I'm doing wrong. We do training in the mornings after a long rest. Obviously I'm not trying to be a monk, so I take what I learn and apply it to my own abilities. I still wade into each fight, laying out 1 damage at a time (while slinging inspiration and the occasional support spell).

That's what I can't wait for; when all of this training and application finally pays off at lvl 3 and I get to land that first real damage punch. So instead of some magic "DING, congrats! You can now somehow punch 600% better than you could an hour ago!" it'll be "Holy crap! The bard finally learned how to punch! The fluid dancing moves is all him, but that left hook, that's [the monk's]".

I've usually been pretty big into optimization. It's what I found fun, but you gotta change it up now and then, and I have not regretted it.

$4.9M puts Wild Hearth as the second-most funded D&D tabletop project on Kickstarter to date, second only the the behemoth of Neon Odyssey.

The campaign pulled in over $250k in the last 3 hours to blow past the final stretch goal. I've been going over the free playtest stuff all month & holy wow, kids. The Hat pulled out all the stops on this one.

Congratulations to Antonio Demico & Pointy Hat Studios on this history-making (very first) Kickstarter!

This is a commission I did a while back. I had to work on its full design, even though the client only had a single reference image showing just the face and a little bit of the chest armor. I did my best working on the rest of this cool character's armor.
He is a black knight elf named "Rudiger," and unfortunately! I don’t know anything about his backstory. The client trusted me to design his original character after he saw my OC, "The Black Knight of NARAKA," and wanted something similar. I did my best creating it and even suggested extra design details free of charge of course which the client enthusiastically agreed to. I really hope to work on more characters like this one in the future!

On our last session, we went into a city of engineers, where one of NPC's has gifted us mechanical pets. Now that I write it down it sounds suspicious... But I am too inspired to care about that. So, this is my pet Gaika (Screw in my language). It's really fitting since my character is an artificer with a huge love for nature and animals. I know she seems really silly, but this is my first time doing something like that and love her anyway

So my friend is a DM and I had grown interested in DnD so I asked if I could join for a session. He had a campaign ongoing and asked the other players in I could join in for a session, they said yes. So i got to character creating. Rudeus Shirtail aka The Redshirt. And for the non Star Trek peeps, a redshirt is a background character that goes along with the main cast and just kinda dies. My man came from a long line of brave men who all just kinda died in the background of battles. A noble of very low renown. I even asked if the DM could focus me in combat so I would die.

Anyway, the party found Rudy stuck in a web outside a den of big spiders, after some pleading and promises of knowing a bit of the lair layout they set me free and I joined up. I chose, paladin gave him decent armour and shield. So my AC was actually pretty high (it was early in the campaign I believe lv5 and I had an AC of 18ish). So despite my mates best effort and getting kinda close, this tough bastard managed to survive the encounter with some healing from the cleric. We parted ways and irl I came back every so often before becoming a party regular towards the end.

Anyway Rudy's motivation to adventure was to find a sword that the first Redshirt lost which the DM then tuned into a demonic relic. The reason why the Redshirt line kept dying off young was because the first Redshirt made a deal with a devil and cursed his bloodline. The monsters focusing Rudy was a side effect of the devil's contract.

So after some more journeying Rudy became the party tank, got into a romance with another PC and finally found the family sword. I also acquired the ability to control my curse somewhat and choose when to draw attention (basically a taunt I activate by saying Look at me). The Devil (who's name is Khanus) showed up briefly via a messenger, informing Rudy that the sword was stolen form him and his soul is forfeit.

The party decides to sneak into hell.

We do, we enter Khanus's domain. Find the contract but I decide not to destroy it until we've found a way out, as my skill to taunt enemies would presumably be lost. We try to escape, battling demons along the way and the party gets dangerously low. As we nearly make our escape the door is magically sealed by Khanus. He charges up a big fireball attack (idk what it's called i imagined like a big firey spirit ball thing) intent on wiping everyone in the party out. As the wizard tries to unlock the door everyone sets up some manner of defences, which in truth, wouldn't have worked regardless.

So Rudy runs away from the group putting as much distance between himself and them as possible. I call out "Look at me!", which Khanus manages to resist the urge, I get another roll from the DM and I barely manage to success as Khanus fails his wisdom saving roll. And is forced to take aim solely at Rudy. I hold the contract in front of me, arm outstretched, "My name is Rudeus Shirtail, and you are bound to me and me alone. Look at me!".

Khanus turns and agaisnst his will is forced to fire his attack away from the party. And just as the wizard is able to unlock the door, his attack lands. Far away enough from the party to deal no damage. Rudy is killed, but before he draws his last breath the contract is burned to ashes. Freeing his soul. As his friends escape.
