Hello everyone !

Here is Cordelia Maribelle Rose, she is a vampire lore mastery wizard ! I have been playing her for more than a year and she has been incredibly fun, but I guess that’s because she is a wizard after all.

I drew her in this outfit because our campaign is taking us to a desert and I assume this is what a Victorian spoiled immortal brat would look like ! Hope you like it !

Which brings me to another topic, I am opening my commissions in case anybody is interested, feel free to look at my profile to see my other drawings ! I will put the rates in the comments in case people want to know them, please DM if you want to do a project with me !

I've had the opportunity to illustrate a character for a friend that he commissioned me for.

They said that she doesn't have a name because she was once an Ancient and Sacred Forest, belonging to the Nature Goddess of the realm and at it's heart lay a Great and Sacred tree. Tales tell of it's power, and how it was rumored to be on it's way to becoming a Treant.

But Humans and other similar races destroyed that.
As a result of clear cutting, all trees were harvested for lumber, then the remains of the forest burnt to ash to make way for a new village.
The Gods, particularly the Nature Goddess whom the forest belonged to, took pity on the once magnificent forest, rich with history and sacred nature, took the life essence from every plant, from every tree and vine down to the blades of grass and flowers between them, and using the soul forge, forged a single soul from them and from the ash came new life.
As one single sapling from the once Great Tree survived, and blossomed. From this sapling my character emerged. No flesh, no meat, no bone, instead wood, vines and vegetation. The physical embodiment of the lost forest.

That's the backstory they gave me when I accepted the commission.
and they gave me additional details and references for the character.

I really enjoyed working on this and I'm proud of it.
I'm always open to illustrate interesting characters like this one, so don't hesitate to contact me if you ever want your characters commissioned.

Thank you very much !

So, this is a problem I (as the DM) how be struggling with for a little bit now. I usually subscribe to the idea that if a task is impossible then it should not be rolled. But I also follow the idea that rolling doesn't always mean doing the thing you want, but the best outcome possible.

But what should you do when a roll is impossible, but telling people to not roll is inherently a spoiler. I'll give an example but it might no be very good. I'm trying to stay vague incase my players also lurk here.

Imagine you had a player who wanted to sneak into a wizard's castle. They want to sneak down a hallway. But here's the rub, the wizard is already matching them with an invisible arcane eye or a magic painting or something like that. Technically the player can't sneak by. The wizard currently has eyes on them. BUT the players do not know they are being watched (let pretend they all failed their wisdom checks).

Do you allow them to roll a stealth check even though a Nat20 with +35 to stealth would still fail (because they are currently seen) and simply not tell them that their roll was pointless, but risking irritation when they are inevitably seen? Or do you tell them there is no need to roll stealth, potentially giving away information?

Got the opportunity to work on these awesome group of characters for u/frillyfia

The Shield of the Coast was the city of Waterdeep’s first line of defense during a catastrophic series of portals appearing, causing destruction and chaos in their wake. This motley crew is cobbled together from outcasts, rejects, and one remarkably normal cleric. Ascensions to godhood may be in some of their futures- but for now, they just want to take a break and rebuild their beloved tavern in the heart of the city.

Left to right as follows-
Zoria - Aasimar
Renaer - Human
Pyra - Tiefling
Orladaar - Dragonborn
Urobos - Earth Genasi
Timber - Tabaxi

I’m also available for commissions so please do not hesitate to reach out!

The whispers never cease.
The hymns and horrors of a disease
Vibrates through the shield and the lips
Who always emit a ghastly wheeze.
Yet to understand the freezing breeze
You must wear the face as your shield,
As for the uninitiated of the Giant’s hymns
Their veins are cursed with fungous chills!

The Paladin's mission is to protect humanity from the forces that endanger their survival.
He is tasked with the torment of resilience against the formidable powers of the skin.
His mind must be tough as iron and his physical resilience to match the powers of creatures never seen before by human eyes.

Theres this elder player member of the local dnd group who constantly asks to play on my campaigns/one shots.

The one shots I dont mind as much letting him play, but not on the campaigns.

He lacks basic hygiene and overall tends to be really argumentative over the rules the dm sets, he often wants to override the version the DM choose to play, and, hes the type of player who uses artificers to defuse all plots points and then rush the buildup of a nuke, its making it hard to invite people in the varied dnd city groups to new games without having to get into a private argument with him, ive told them before they couldnt participate in one of my campaigns due to all slots being filled and drama ensued.

Any suggestions id appreciate them, thanks!

Edit: thank you for your suggestions, I’ll stand firmly on my stance when I deal with him next week once more!

Much appreciated for your answers!

Commission work : Kiln

Kiln is a swift and powerful warrior forged in the volcanic mines. Heat and stone shaped his body into living steel. He carries a massive anvil as his weapon, swinging it with crushing force. Each strike hits like thunder and breaks the ground open. Fire and magma burst from his blows, turning fights into burning chaos. He moves like a battle-forged guardian, strong, steady, and unstoppable in combat.

Since I’m posting anyway, I also have a few commission slots open if anyone’s been thinking about getting their character illustrated.
A few details:
Semi-realistic fantasy style
Humans, elves, half-elves, and other humanoid races
Around 2-week turnaround
50/50 PayPal (half upfront, half on completion)
Whether it’s a new character or one that’s been with you for years, I’d love to hear about them. Feel free to drop a comment or send me a DM! 🎲
