Hello, this is a recent character illustration Ive done of a Smoke genasi Warlock.

It is from a request from a /characterdrawing subreddit, so Ive tried to stay close to the original design, but still try and push some ideas Ive had. Hopefully did not mess it up too much.

The idea for the character is elemental genasi, more specifically Smoke Genasi. His mother is an air genasi and his other "mother" is a Efreeti genie. He's the result of a wish from his mother, who said it without knowing that the woman was an Efreeti. He is a warlock from the pact but he's very much a suave wannabe movie cowboy,

Let me know what you think about the piece.

Thanks

Just wanted to share with y'all some flight stands I made. If you are in the US, all the parts of off the shelf from Harbor Freight and Home Depot.

1. I drilled an 1/8" hole in the 1.5" knockout seal ($1.54).
2. I removed the small bolt that holds the clip to the telescoping magnetic retrieval tool ($3.99), removed the clip, and used that blot to attach the knockout seal to the retrieval tool. I had to grind about 2mm off the face of bolt to get it to sit flat.
3. I then placed a 3/4"x2" fender washer ($.48) and crimped the "teeth" of the knockout seal around it for added counter weight.
4. I then superglued a 1.25" button shell ($.03) to the magnet. You could also just glue it to you minis and let the magnet do its work. I did it this way because I currently have 15 players and I didn't want to glue metal to all their minis.

It's super stable, looks clean, and adds some super easy 3-dimensionality to the game.

Hope this is helpful!

This is just a random rough sketch, not a finished drawing. I kinda just wanted to try making random character designs like this for fun and see how other people might interpret them like what species/class/backstory you’d give them.

I don’t really plan on keeping her, so if anyone happens to vibe with the design and wants to use her for a D&D character, you’re totally welcome to have her and make her your own. Change anything you want.

If more than one person is interested (not even sure if anyone will be lol), I’ll probably just pick based on whichever idea or lore I like most.

If anyone’s into this, I’ll probably post more like it in the future

Love drawing big punchy boys so this one was fun, definitely getting better at

drawing Dragonborn’s. I forgot the shoulder pauldrons so had to go back and add them in at the end.

Not sure how I feel about how the shattering effect on the original text came out but whateverrrr.

If you’ve got a character you want drawn you can comment on my old post to possibly get your characters drawn orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr you can check out my pinned post lol

You rarely hear a kenku before you see it, at least, not in the way you expect. What reaches you first is an echo: the creak of leather, the clink of loose coin, the cough of a man. A voice calls your name from the dark… then repeats it again, perfectly, but hollow, like a memory wearing a mouth.

Kenku are small, insignificant creatures wrapped in old rags and feathers that smell faintly of dust, smoke, and damp stone. Their wings are little more than withered stumps, dry, brittle things that itch beneath their cloaks, a constant reminder of what was taken from them. Long ago, they were not bound to the earth. They once soared in the service of a powerful, unnamed god, gliding through skies heavy with incense and gold.

But envy crept into their hearts.

They coveted their master’s hoarded riches. For this sin, the punishment was not swift, it was thorough. Their wings were torn away. Their voices were stolen mid-breath. Even their spark of creation was stripped from them, leaving their minds barren of originality. Since that age, no kenku has ever sung a song that was truly their own, nor spoken a thought that was not borrowed.

When a kenku speaks, it is never their voice. It is the scream of a dying soldier, the sharp bark of a city guard, the sing-song lilt of a bard . Their words are sewn together from scraps of sound, stolen and replayed with unsettling precision. They cannot invent new sounds or twist old ones into something novel, only mimic, repeat, and echo. Listening to a kenku for too long feels like standing in a hall of broken mirrors, where every reflection moves just a heartbeat too late.

Cast out from most settlements, kenku survive on the margins of civilization. They haunt rooftops slick with rain, crawl through alleyways reeking of rot and spilled ale, and nest in abandoned towers where the air tastes of mold and rust. They watch. They remember. They wait. Adventuring parties often find themselves followed, boots crunching on gravel behind them, a familiar voice drifting from the trees, the sound of their own laughter whispered back at them in the dark. Sometimes the kenku only steal. Sometimes they do worse, much worst.

And yet… very rarely… something goes wrong with the curse.

Once every few years, a kenku is born with a sharper mind, still flightless, still voiceless, but capable of a strange, limited independence. These anomalies move with uncanny patience, fingers calloused from bowstrings and trap-cords, eyes always scanning, always measuring. They become hunters, rangers, scouts, masters of terrain and silence. Their small frames slip through brush without a sound; their memories map forests and ruins better than ink ever could.

To travel with such a kenku is unsettling, but invaluable. They will never inspire you with words, never sing of victory, but they will hear what others miss, see what others overlook, and remember every sound you have ever made.

Poor cursed little creatures, condemned to echo the world rather than shape it…

yet still walking forward, step by borrowed step.

I was introduced to D&D through my husband. At first, I didn't even realize just how many races, creatures, monsters, and different stories exist within D&D. But when I delved deeper, I was completely enchanted by this vast world of amazing fantasy. So I decided to set myself a personal challenge: to draw as many races as possible! I started, of course, with the majestic Aarakocra! I thought it would be interesting to depict a sorcerer just beginning his journey. He doesn't have a proper staff or decent clothing yet, but he's already ready to set off on adventures!

Looking forward to your comments and feedback!

So I been a big fan of the beginner campaign for DnD. Stormwreck Isle is one of the first campaigns I ever played years ago and now that I am a DM I like to introduce this campaign to new players.

I also love assembling, painting and using miniatures but I never could find a good dragon to represent Skyrender the Blue Wyrmling.

All wyrmling miniatures aren’t scary or cool looking to get new players into fighting dragons. Then I saw Dungeons & Lasers: Freyr was perfect!

So I’m gonna surprise my friends with this when we start our campaign next Sunday. Everyone wish me luck!!

Last session, my bladesinger wizard (a 107-year-old ex-bandit who was just in it for the money, but slowly started to believe she could actually be a hero) was killed.

Mid-battle in the final fight, the DM had given us a warning/ultimatum that our macguffin (in another room, through a portal) was on the verge of being destroyed. I cast haste on myself and dashed through the portal (and ran even farther ahead while fighting) so none of my party were close enough to help. They and some badass elven rangers were busy holding off a huge horde of undead, to stop them from entering the vault.

In the other room, I found five named generals of the necromancer witch queen’s army. I held them off and dealt an absolutely stupid amount of damage over the course of three rounds via four fireballs, several misty steps, and with an armor class of 27. That wasn’t enough, and just as the closest party member coming to help me finally stepped through the portal, they saw me get finished off. First actual death that we’ve ever had as a group.

This session, on the LAST turn of the battle, with one undead general (the same one who had originally downed me) left standing and in bad shape, our cleric ran to me and cast revivify with only a few seconds to spare. I came back, basically said, “I’m too old for this”, then did an awesome combo of flinging a bolt of fire at the undead general that killed me, misty stepping into the air above them, then coming down in a final plunging attack with my rapier. The blade went straight through their skull and pinned their corpse to the ground.

My wizard symbolically left the rapier there, lived the next few months by the side of her oldest friend, and then died peacefully of old age in her sleep, happily schnockered on some raspberry wine.

Hello! I made a post a few days ago for advice on a session, and the session went pretty well. The party did a heist together, and decided to do things the hard way.

The paladin was separated from the party at the time they infiltrated the building (as he insisted on trying to see if they did tours, despite wearing the traditional clothing and armor of the country's biggest enemy, which he was aware of and insisted upon).

The rest of the party successfully made it through by disguising themselves as an inspector and her posse. The paladin kept saying "I should make a distraction" what felt like every two minutes, and then kept insisting that we pan the perspective over to him after the party got annoyed and told him that they didn't need a distraction.

Eventually he decided to go and buy a new set of armor to blend in with the guards. He managed to infiltrate as well, but ended up getting the party caught right as they got what they needed and were about to leave after he failed a deception check and persuasion check.

The next session is set to open with combat as a result, and the rest of the party (rogue, cleric and barbarian) are planning to just leave regardless of whether or not he's able to follow, as they are carrying the items that they needed to complete the heist. It seems like the paladin is probably going to die or be detained and put in a high end prison (with the possibility that his attempt at a heist/violence could reflect on his home country). What should I do?

TL/DR: Paladin pissed off the party and it looks like they're planning on abandoning him next session, and I don't know what to do.

My name is Jesse Oliver, and I'm a professional freelance artist based in Columbus, OH! It is my honor to bring people’s vision for their character to life exactly how they imagine it, even if that means lots of changes on my part. I have a degree in Graphic Design and Illustration, and have been doing commission work since I was in highschool, so you can trust that I am a professional who will do my due diligence to do your character justice. If you're interested in getting a character commission or if you have any questions, please shoot me a DM!

I wanted to share some of my recent work because I’ve been proud of how my illustrations have been turning out lately. Above are a few examples of my most recent commissions, laid out next to their accompanying tokens. I can do a wide range of different species and outfit types. I particularly enjoyed doing the Yuan-Ti as anthro characters based on real life animals are my favorite! I find them challenging, and therefore more fun.
