Lionfish dragon ✏️

For the ‘Smaugust’ challenge this year during August, artists were tasked to draw a dragon a day with certain prompt words (I only managed about 2 a week 😅)
One of those were ‘Lionfish’ and this is what I brought to fruition!

I imagine his spines are all poisonous, and both his attack and defense would be poison! Like he could eject poison dart like structures from his throat rather than fire.
What do you think he could do?
All drawn with pencils, alcohol markers, fine liners and white gel pen.
I hope you like it!🖊️

A few years back, I played a bard 'Jimmy Jack Jones' in a D&D campaign with some of my mates.

He once enjoyed fame and fortune thanks to his one and only hit, "Ladies Hide Thou Bosoms". Unfortunately, he squandered it all and spent the rest of his career desperately trying (and failing) to recapture his former glory.

The title was something I came up with during a session, but my fellow players insisted I ought to actually write it.

So I did.

And now I recorded it too. 😂

I hope you enjoy it! 🪕

Disclaimer: The song is entirely satirical and intended as lighthearted comedy. No sexism intended, just a rather questionable medieval bard.

Lyrics:

Bosoms soft and perilous, thou twin and bouncing curse
Thou lead the wise to ruin swift, the simple to far worse
A laced delight, a glimpse of pale and all our wits take flight
The pries misquotes his holy book, the knight forgets to fight

The tailor stitched his trouser leg to where a sleeve should go, the banker signed away his house and didn't seem to know
the holy man forgot his text and wandered of in haze
all fell by curves that rose and fell in most unholy ways

Ladies hide thou bosoms, or bare them gods be kind
but know you rock our heads about when neckline meets the eyes
a button loosed a ribbon slipped, we stumble swoon and sway
and many wars were surely fought for what peeked out that day

the priest forgot to praise the lord, the captain sank his fleet
the bard forgot his chorus line and rhymed despair with feet
the wizard tried to cast a charm, then blinked and set ablaze
a tavern wall, while two big bouncing peaches met his gaze

ladies hide thou bosoms, ere bakers burn their bread
ere monks forget their solemn vows and paint the chapel red
for every tale of foolishness that history recalls
begins beneath a lowered glance and slightly loosened shawls

But mock I may and Jest I do with smile and steady tune
there was a night of candlelight beneath a jealous moon
she danced she laughed she touched my hand, then vanished in the haze
and left me with this song I've sung through oh so many days

so ladies hide thou bosoms, or don't we fall the same
a fool will chase the shape of love and never learn her name
We drink we laugh we spin a tune until the music stays
and all that's left's a fading smile and songs from better days

I've been looking for a game and so far two people have said that I need to pay for character art, and that I can't use my own for cohesion. Both times it was about $20-30 USD. Is that normal?

Meet Kaelen and Elara, two tieflings from completely different worlds. Kaelen grew up relying on a sharp blade and a scruffy grin to survive the city’s roughest alleys, while Elara was raised in a quiet forest grove, learning to heal with nature magic. After getting thrown into the same chaotic party, the guarded rogue and the girl with wildflowers in her hair slowly fell for each other.

I can’t wait to finish this piece but I was so impatient, and I had to post the sketch. I just love how they’re turning out

Okay so I just think Eberron is fucking amazing. Dragonmarks and the houses are fucking sick and the last war is peak.

First, I love dragonmarks. Just the idea of dragonmarks is cool and the houses are amazing and make the dragonmarks special. Like sure the Mark of Shadow is cool, but House Phiarlan, House Thuranni, and the Shadow Schism? They add a whole new level to it. I’ve made like 6 characters with the base of the dragonmarks and the dragonmarked houses since I got Forge of the Artificer a few days ago. There’s something for everyone in dragonmarks and the houses, like in the optimization community dragonmarks have potential to make strong builds and for people who like lore there’s a shit ton of lore behind them. If you have an Eberron campaign you can definitely use them, and if you don’t, as long as the DM’s cool with it there’s a ton of lore explanations.

Second, the Last War is amazing. For those who don’t know, the Last War was a century-long conflict that began after King Jarot of Galifar died and his children fought over which of them should inherit the throne, eventually shattering the united Kingdom of Galifar into warring nations. Over the course of the war alliances constantly shifted, new nations emerged, and the Dragonmarked Houses grew enormously wealthy and influential by supplying transportation, healing, weapons, mercenaries, and other services to the combatants. House Cannith created the warforged, magically constructed soldiers that could think and feel but were built, bought, and sent into battle as weapons. The conflict also saw the destruction of House Cannith’s leadership and headquarters when the Mourning suddenly transformed the entire nation of Cyre into the deadly Mournland in 994 YK, killing most people within its borders and leaving behind a magically devastated wasteland. Nobody knows what caused the Mourning, and the fear that it could happen again finally pushed the surviving nations toward peace. In 996 YK they signed the Treaty of Thronehold, formally ending the Last War, recognizing several new nations, and granting warforged legal freedom while outlawing the creation of new ones. The war may officially be over, but Eberron begins only two years later in 998 YK, so the continent is still full of veterans, refugees, political grudges, ruined families, unresolved territorial disputes, and nations preparing for the possibility that the peace won’t last. There were also some events like the Day of Mourning, the Battle of the Pines, the Battle of Cairn Hill, the Siege of Korth, the occupation of Thaliost, and the Eldeen Reaches' secession from Aundair that I didn’t include, but you get the idea. The last war was just fucking sick.

I dont really like it.

Every time there was any kind of dispute on a rule or mechanic, the DM would ask us if we wanted to homebrew it to work in our favor. At first I didnt think much of it, but then the DM called us his 'Customers' and that's when I realized what I didnt like.

I believe in the DMs word being final say. But in this enviornment the DM wants to give us stuff so we dont leave the table because we're paying him. Since we are, in fact, his 'Customers' before we're his 'Players'.

Oddly enough, rather than paying a DM to DM for me, I think I'd instead want to pay a DM for the 'privilege' to be in their game. Though I think I'm done with paid DnD in general.

Anyway, this is just me describing my thoughts and feelings on the experience.

This is the Spooky Pumpkinholder! This is a mini I designed in blender a while back. One of my patrons did a fantastic job 3D printing and painting it so I thought I'd share :)

🎃 12 / 10 Spookies! 🎃

Here is a brief synopsis of her/their backstory and personality.

Bjorn grew up in a loving family, both parents successful merchants and traders. As a young boy, despite having immense wealth, Bjorn grew wary of all the ins and outs of business, and decided he wanted nothing to do with it.

Finding peace and comfort in the solitude and whimsy of the forest, he, now they, spent much time in the woods near their home, and couldn’t be bothered to go into the same field as their parents.

Although disappointed in their/her career decision, her parents were both fully supportive in letting her learn from a Druid mentor, and later fully funded her Wizard education.

Bjorn is shy and reclusive, but once comfortable with someone, very open and often silly. You’ll also encounter a completely different side of her if she’s had enough Ale. Although quiet, and comfortable not standing out, there are moments when being pushed too far or stakes too high, that she unleashes great power and raw emotion.

So I had this idea to create illustrations for the 8 schools of magic based on tarot cards and roman / greek statues. This is my first time creating a vector illustration (I studied Graphic Design, but somehow only ever used Illustrator for logo’s, shapes and patterns and never a full on layered illustration like this).

Since it’s my first time I wanted to share the progress and get some feedback while working on them. The order of schools is; abjuration, conjuration, divination, enchantment, evocation, illusion, necromancy, transmutation. The tarot cards are (in order) strength, the magician, the priestess, the lovers, the tower, the hanged man, death and the wheel of fortune.

So WDYT? And do you have any feedback? ☺️
