@young olive aaaaw thanks !!! I hope Iโll have time to make more doodles likes this ^^
@dusk echo probably not suitable for this server, as talented as your drawing skills are
considering it's not really nsfw, and it's more just suggestive than anything, I think it should be fine for the server
I dunno though, I'm not a mod or a staff member
I reckon itโs fine. It doesnโt look anymore like underwear than any female armor from any video game Iโve seen hahaha
Just saying, they generally seem to keep things PG13 as this is an all ages server
But I'm no mod either, just giving a heads up in case
It's PG13 imo, like I said, It's suggestive, but not nsfw at all
I mean, I'd disagree based on their own description, but hey, subjective
I think the description is more NSFW than the actual drawing ๐คฃ
Hang on while i show it to my boss
@sacred zealot good call, let us know how it goes
So I'm back from my meeting and if anyone knows of work going please let me know
๐คฃ
That forest is so lewd. Excuse me while I enter my echo chamber and deliberate your future.
jeezoos crist wow
there are children in this sacred discord server and you pollute it with nature??? get out of my sight
As one of those children we like to see this because our parents usually force these beauties away from us
@dusk echo Can I just say, judgements of lewdness and protection of delicate children aside, I love your art
That nature piece especially, the lighting is amazing
It's simply beautiful
Very talented ;o
Solace from the Dragonlance series (pre destruction). Based on the lovely work from the Atlas.
gasps MAZE!!!
Vik the goblin bard 
i must protect
Smeek approves
Oh that bard is beautiful
Getting into the ball point pens
Oh, Hello Cthulhu
Nice work. Though I am sure making that might have drawn you insane. ๐
Whoa, that looks really neat!
Just finished a little vector illustration for a commission I received :) Meet Glasha, half-orc barbarian!
That Illithid is quite engorged!
๐ฎ

First time in years I've drawn a map. Rather proud that I can still do it.
just finished setting up my encounter tomorrow
no one tell my party but it's gonna get hairy
@sturdy vessel amazing coastline!! i feel like figuring out how to naturally jut and bob
is really tricky
but the key to a convincing map
nice island distribution too
This is also continent 1 of 3.
I also have four other drawings to help with the climate, geopolitical, and mountain ranges. And then the blob of the full rough idea sketch.
Thanks. Critical role and the maps they keep commissioning is bring my love back.
This all spark3d from deciding to write out a whole home brew campaign. Currently at 17-19 pages of lore and info and still have 2 more continents.
hahaha
The Map Is Not The Territory
matt colville dm advice
nothing is more important than actually playing in the world, and building it shouldn't be a requirement to running in it... or rather it shouldn't be an impediment
Oh yeah. It for me a map gives me a structure to create the world and not lose notes and significant people.
And players love maps.....
I have a sort of template I fill out for every city that just sets the base down, names of establishments, economy, culture, all that
But I make sure that every city has its own unique points-usually developed through the history of the cities themselves, or the area around them
I toyed with making a world map in Dungeon Fog, and being not the best tool for the job, and my first time doing a map, i think it's almost usable. Modeled after northern sword coast map in Lost Mine of Phandelver ๐
It got kinda heavy towards the end, lot's of brushes and tokens
My daughter's birthday cake..
So cute! I love it!
Dice are real dice I simply used them to decorate. All the rest are made from scratch so yeah, totally editable.
gets plate ready
Lol
what cake is cake, and its delishes
It is chocolate fudge cake.
nom
gasps the flavor of the gods
Finished another Dungeons and Dragons painting! Dubok the Goliath Barbarian! He has a giant war hammer that can turn into a spear crafted from pure lightning. The hammer head is like its sheath ๐
why does he have a huge sholder XD
It's a giants skull the size of his torso from the brief I was sent.
why not make it the chest pice then
the hammer is fine its just the skull thats throwing it off for me
Giant skull
indeed a giant's skull ๐
I like the exaggerated proportions heโs got goinโ on. Seems like someone whoโs real proud of his work
And besides, I like heavies. Hard to get much heavier than that ๐
@wispy wren all that matters is that the client likes it ๐ doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Looks great!
Having finally run Sinister Secrets of Saltmarsh last night (nailed it all in a single, ten hour session) I can share my album of all the stuff I made for it
https://imgur.com/a/bUpqrJj
Spoilers for Sinister Secrets of Saltmarsh, of course
I've posted a load of WIP pics here, but not the whole thing
Very impressive ๐
Will you run it again for another group? Or repurpose it, or store it, or display it? ๐
Repurpose it most likely
My other group has recently established a hideout and this will likely serve as their base of operations,
Recreation of a dungeon from Hoard of the Dragon Queen, made with Dungeon Fog. Tried staying true to the original with the descriptions of each room
Looks better 1:1, kinda looks like something done in Paint otherwise ๐
I'm practicing anatomy. Does anyone know how do draw the chest and arms?
Knowing and doing are different things for me. Arms are basically half ovals, of different sizes, linked together - in the first rough. There has to be tons of "how to draw anatomy" resources on the internet
Cheers @ancient wyvern @sturdy blaze Yeah! So long as the client's happy, I'll draw as many comically large pouldrons as desired. ๐
@proven estuary I know of some helpful tutorials, I'll DM them to you once I get home
Tutorials have not been the most reliable source for me and many of my friends, though not all of them. Most of the time I find that youโll get the best results not necessarily drawing what looks real, but what comes to you first
@proven estuary depending on where you live, attending a life drawing class with a tutor will help a lot. Also an anatomy reference book. it's something that comes with practice and a little bit of knowledge
@proven estuary I happened to be in an art school. I didnโt take life drawing courses but I had to take animation course before and drew things like bouncing ball. I have schoolmates and gf helping me with drawing concepts.
But i would strongly suggest you go to a tutor or art school if you have time if you are not in one or majoring in it
For anatomy i have a book named anatomy for 3d artist, which is a very good book
I didn't make this, but i found it on google
heres the urlhttps://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjEs72BmNrjAhWIX80KHfSBD54Qjhx6BAgBEAM&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FDnD%2Fcomments%2Fcazsfg%2Fcliche_check_successful_roll_psychic_damage_oc%2F&psig=AOvVaw3idX6REU2I_0eV-GyMiY6e&ust=1564491729375022

Iโm just gonna post this here. Out of context. Highlight of our last game. Thatโs all Iโll say ...
;-; did poor goat lad do a death?
Indeed he did. He was the pet of the big baddy... and we killed it on sight cause our party is filled with murder hobos ๐
rip
That aasimar is a mood if ever I saw one.
Painted an Aztec/Greek styled Goblinoid as a warm up for today's line up of art. Comin' up with a spin on a Goblinoid civilisation for a campaign in DnD.
Super cool! I wanna know more about this setting.
Mโy players made some poor decisions in a clan fight... and they are facing the moral consequences now. An innocent pregnant npc gnoll is gonna get murdered before their eyes because they helped to put a tyran in a leading position... (bloody image)
Big Oof
...do you mean to say that all gnolls are beautiful in your eyes ? ๐
No, just that they would die a violent death ๐
ah. hahahaha yes indeed. but i still hope to stir some remorse in their hearts ... hope.
It worked here!
Gnolls are beautiful, just... Misunderstood and misguided. If they were raised right, they could be just like everyone else
And I'm sure if you showed gnolls a little bit of kindness- Showed them how they could raise livestock, give them a home, all that, they would be integrated into society like everyone else
Gnolls are smart enough to form societies, their society happens to be vey violent and tribal so most gnolls are violent
Did this painting this morning of What the Solar look like in my version of the Draconian Pantheon of gods for my campaign in DnD 5E.
The Celestials are ancient Greece/Rome inspired,
The Devils are medieval Europe inspired
And the Demons and Japanese/Chinese mythos inspired.
This guy is Aerdin, the Fate Watcher. level 20 paladin and level 20 cleric Solar.
Gonna do more of these at some point.
Been playing alot of AC Odyssey which you can probably tell haha.
Love your art style so incredibly much, I wish my characters could be shown like that
DEUS VULT
I love the wings and the cloak!
I just finished this commisison today! Paladin resting after doffing her armor. It makes me think of sessions where PCs basically go shopping in town ๐
Is that a butt-shield I see?
not mine but someone made these dice and I am questioning their sanity https://i.redd.it/20ltiwgs2hd31.jpg
and yes there are little numbers on them, really hard to read ones
Ewwwww
spaghetti o's?
eugh
I mean, I'm jealous because I'd love to be able to try my hand at casting my own dice
But those just look like they'd stain my dice tray with tomato sauce ๐
don't you mean """""tomato sauce""""" ? :p
considering how low quality spaghetti o's are...
I suspect they were frozen and then coated in epoxy while frozen
meaning that you can engrave numbers, have it be a solid shell but also the rings will slosh around inside which must look absolutely weird
In the UK, it's pretty good quality tomato sauce
lots of sugar, but still real tomatos
@somber kestrel Yeah, I wouldn't even be surprised if those just aren't plastic rings in resin tinted orange
They look pretty even to me, just distorted by the resin
And the fact that none of them are squished or cut off would suggested they're fairly solid
There's a lot that look like they pressed against the mold without bending
where would you get plastic rings that are completely lopsided and of unique sizes each
none of them look lopsided
and it looks like there's only three sizes really
Also, the fact there are three sizes makes me think they're plastic rings (or rubber maybe) because spaghetti rings are using one, large size
there are clearly more than three sizes here
and quite a few of these are lopsided
except o-rings aren't lopsided
I don't see any lopsided ones
look at the bottommost of 2
I see plenty that appear distorted by the sides of the dice
Yeah, the two near the point of the d10 in the bottom right?
yeah
Look closely, that's refractive distortion due to the way the resin is molded
You get that in all dice that contain 'bits'
There's a person I follow on twitter that does loads of novelty dice, like with tiny plastic fish inside and whatnot
You always get refraction
I seriously doubt that you can amount this to distortion but most of all even if it is there are clearly more than three sizes here
Sure, there are more sizes than you'd get in a can of speghetti rings
But about as many as you'd get in a set of o-rings like I linked
you'd have to find some novelty o-rings if a) you want them white and b) you want them as thick and small as the one above the lopsided on at the bottom of the d10
I'm trying to find a sauce on these
I have o-rings in white like those
for my ear stretchers
They come in sizes from about 3mm internal diameter to bigger, but the thickness is always pretty consistent
Ah
we're both wrong
(but I'm less wrong ๐ )
Polymer clay
told you they were lopsided
But you were right that they were uneven and lopsided
So we were both right in different ways
BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME!
if I saw these on my toolbox I'd throw them out
I honestly thought it was refraction
man this makes me want to do it with real spaguetti-os just to prove that it is possible
I even have a can of epoxy next to me right now
I think the freezing might work
although they might defrost and then cook/decompose as the resin cures
freeze, chisel, coat, sand
Maybe if you did a pre-coat of resin post freeze?
I really need to get some resin molding gear and try my hand at dice making
the really tricky part would be to get these frozen enough that they don't unfreeze while the epoxy cures
because I'm pretty sure epoxy won't cure if it's near freezing temps
18c is the recommended lowest temp for it
which is actually pretty high
hm
also about 5 days to fully harden
18c is pretty low
That's 4 below 'room temp'
could be easier to just try to figure out a way to solidify a spaghetti-o mix without having to freeze it
So I'd consider that pretty cold by people standards
Maybe dry pasta?
Like, drain and wash the Os
they dry them out
4 below room temp in the middle of winter, to boot
in the oven
Yeah drying could work
room temp in this country is usually closer to 16c if you're lucky during winters
at my uni we frequently have classes in 12c temp rooms
I don't use Celsius, so I'm not sure the conversions for freezing and all that
freezing is 0 for water
I mean, 'room temp' has a specified definition I think
Like, there's Room Temp and the temperature of the room you might be in
I understand, but it's not really useful for figuring each degree compared to Fahrenheit
I think room temp is defined as 24C
I think scientifically its somewhere in the 20Cs
Room temperature is 72F
23 or 25 i think
72f is 22
Iirc from my H&S room temp should be 21 to 22C
Interesting
The WHO defines the standard for comfortable warmth for suitably dressed adults as 18C
And no lower than 17C for a length of time
Although in terms of science and industry it seems to be 20-25C
meanwhile I keep my rooms around 26
16c even
18c is comfortable for me
18c is real cold
I prefer the cooler temperatures
It's all very subjective
18c is not real cold
There's no such thing as 'real cold'
18c is t-shirt weather
it's just what you're used to
It's 65F, which isn't that bad
temps are subjective but 18c is not "real cold" anywhere on earth
No, temps are objective
and I live in one of the hotter parts
'cold' and 'hot' is subjective
Your cold might be my hot
but the temp will be the same
18c is a temp most people in my state will shiver in
But we're not really talking arts and crafts now ๐
I hate hot weather though. Here it gets to 99% humidity with it already being 90+F
That said all weather is tshirt weathee and I wanna make dice
I saw some galaxy dice on my twitter feed and they were beautiful
lemme see if I can find them again
These aren't them, but they're still beautiful

These finished beauties left for their forever home today. I really hope their new owner loves them as much as I do.
This set can be recreated on commission.

This is the clearest pic of them I've seen to date
You should get ready for webstores to start prepping for round 2, there are some lovelies in it too (preview for round 2 sets is out)

@solemn bay I had to remove your image, as it contained language inappropriate for this server. If you can update the image to conceal or change the language, you are welcome to re-add it. Thank you!
aaaaah yeah i didn't think of that haha sorry sorry @agile rock
D&D character im working on along side a goblin rogue, love how she is turning out so far, now just need to think of cool armour 
Designing my autumn eladrin
I've shared this on Reddit already, but here's my latest character!

@fresh oar Please do not post other people's art here without credit. Thank you!
@solar berry I'm in love with your colouring, so vibrant!
Thank you! Initially it was a little more intense with some darker greens and orangish skin, but it was toned it back a bit to make it a more realistic palette
more lewds for you guys
they posted an art some folx found risque once
and as a jest
they spoiler all their art now
i have killed humor by explaining the joke
the art is lovely as always
Ah, well the joke may be dead, but at least I don't feel like I'm missing out on some cool as heck show/stream that they do art for
Ah, wait
That was me
I called their art out as maybe pushing the envelope for this server
๐คฆ
Scribbled my new tief bard while I binged the kung fu panda trilogy
ooo nice :D
Its looking real fun
i'm so happy with my new baby ... kobold wizard. he had some growth issues and tried a spell to be taller...but it only worked on his horns. So now he uses them when he naps as a rocking chair ...
Amazing art! Awesome character design as well.
Awesome looking
;-; lad needs a trim
And @terse pasture our tiefs would get along nicely, especially if sheโd enjoy some home-brewed mead & martial arts lessons ๐
@sour bough and @opaque idol thanks so much ๐
Such a cute boy!!!!
neato
Pretty awesome
@ancient wyvern !! I think both would be something she would be willing to try. ๐
Thats looking wicked
cool
thanks folks
@terse pasture just gotta make sure she isnโt put off by his sawed-off horns & blue complexion ๐
Doubt thats a problem for her :>
Then in that case, mead and punching lessons aplenty!
Sweet!
Made a layout for a one shot I'll hopefully be hosting soon! Inspiration is the CR Layout ๐
It kinda remind me of polaroids as well. Im almost waiting for a "Scream cam"
@opaque idol I do have a map cam layout prepped, not a scream cam one tho lmao
Im just waiting for those scream pictures you get at the end of a rollercoaster or something. Haha
dude, I can't wait to scare my players lmao
What are you running? The title makes me think of demons, Out of the Abyss perhaps?
Well good luck. May the dice be in your favour.
Thank you ๐
My tiefling bard Zatrilia's clothes desing.
Will I ever finish, line and color it? Probably not.
It looks lovely like this anyway
She's still gorgeous!
sleepy time for Doom making the best out of his giant handicap horns ...
Adorable
Very cute!
is the pink one a sorcerer?
yup
Dragonborn are the hardest for me ;-;
At least the bodys are better for me to make but the heads
Looks nice! Iโm the opposite, the heads are easier for me but I tend to mess up bodies lol
Itโs usually proportions I struggle with
My tiefling monk, Hiro, as depicted by a friend of mine.
does he not have legs?
maybe his legs are permanently invisible lol
The bad guy ran off to pursue most of the party...our sorceress that turned invisible was left alone with the treasure...
A dream
Lol
(Almost forgot I was on this server oof) WIP of my Dragon gal Woari
Looks great so far!
Thanks!
Lineart done
colourful
Needs more purple ๐
All these drawing really want me to get back into drawing again, or rather sketching. Issue is that I am nowhere near my art supplies.
Say, arts here does not strickly have to be DnD related, right?
Description doesnt say so ๐คท
Thanks guys
Okay, well I have some art I made back in HS (2012 and 2013 to be specific)
That is a while ago
So art doesnโt need to be DND related?
In that case hereโs something I drew a few days ago
According to OboeCrazy on 6 March 2019: We like to encourage you to post your own stuff or other cool stuff, just as long as you're clear what you made and what other people made. Credit where credit is due heart So please attribute all creations appropriately.
Ooh okay
This is a demon named Superbia (Pride) His body I drew during down time in a Trigonometry class from the 5FDP album Way of the Fist
Legs I fudged up on, but that is okay
Nice ๐
Who needs legs.
I used gel ink for outlining and for colour
floofy
This is a piece I made for, well a nation, in space. The Roman Numeral on the side shows which district he is from (being part of the planetary defences is like being a National Guard in US).
Had it on Photobucket where it looked more like an old picture
btw @proven estuary wut is the floofy-eared creature?
Thats awesome
The fluffy eared one?
Cradles
Theyโre a hallucination I get sometimes
And thatโs all you really need to know about them
@lilac warren
Adorable.
Itโs not as good as the other art here, but Iโm still somewhat proud of it since it came out better than the other stuff I usually draw: Romanos, my Tiefling Bard!
It's all good. What matters is that you put the effort into making it.
Oh, here it is.
The demon on the bottom was refined with the guidance of one of my more artistically inclined friends of senior year (2013). I couldn't draw hia feet so I surrounded him in water (or blood, whatever fits it best).
If anyone has been watching the Indianapolis live show of Critical Role ...youโll know. Otherwise, I swear Iโm not that weird hahaha Sam riegel is my hero

An encounter set up for tomorrowq
using 2-minute tabletop map pieces
and Yuikami Tokens
2MT is 
Hello
It seems that yโall donโt understand what a kobold is...
Criticism is welcome
Kobold
๏ผฅ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ ๏ผค๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ
All-in-all well done on it
A lot of detail but not too much
Eleven days till what? .-.
Critical Role reference from Episode 50
Ooooooooooooohhhhhh
Spurt the Kobold
kobolds are dragon descendant
and I prefer when they look cuter as opposed to...
Well, whatever the art is for them in 5e
What about when you have to kill them though?
I mean, Kirito got it pretty spot on with a lot of features.
I mean, the feet are smol but that is really about it
I suppose, but I wouldn't think of kobolds as being as... ragged? They should be smoothly scaled, like dragons, and they shouldn't have rat faces
I based the drawing on earlier editions of dnd but still trying to keep in mind newer concepts
Trying to stick more dog-like features instead of fully dragon
(Inspiration art)
You kinda need something to differentiate between the reptilians of D&D aside from height & habits though
The snout shape is a defining feature
Kobolds have more square snouts, and are a bit more boney in general
Thatโs so minor though, honestly
Their build is different from the other reptilian races though
Depends on the edition.
This could easily be confused for a thin lizardfolk or a sort of half-dragon just through your example artwork
well, for one, lizardfolk are much bigger
And they're, as the name suggests
lizards
which have different features from dragons and dragon descendants
They are also built differently. Lizardfolk and more... Hulking? Their shoulder placement is different.
Again, in individual pictures, size can be deceiving. And very often, lizardfolk look very similar to kobolds or half-Dragons (see Kestrelโs art for what I mean)
Doesn't really matter. All that matters is that the player is happy with the art they have chosen to represent their character.
I guess the biggest detail is that lizardfolk's mouths are much bigger, and the snout slides in closer to the forehead. Far closer
yea in older editions kobolds were more doglike
i like them looking more like dragonlike than rat/dog that is scaled
Yup. Me too.
I like them looking more dragonlike, but cuter and less... I'm not sure how to put it. The other side of dragonlike, moving away from the art for them in 5e.
i kinda just noticed that the 5e kobolds still have a dog nose
I like these opinions
mechobald
this is just some 5e kobold stuff for reference to their dog noses and how they still do have a doglike face despite being more draconic
Swampellow I love you
im just talking about the 5e stuff
Still
Theyโve always been canonically very doglike, just less so in 5E
I believe that there should be more obvious, defining features between reptilian races/monsters, since without clarifying which is which, it is difficult to tell the difference between a kobold, a half-dragon, a lizard folk, and a Dragonborn. So many dragons, so little time
bรถrk bรถrk goes the kobold
It's actualy pretty easy to differentiate them with official art tbh
I honestly don't think that not having a giant difference between them is an issue
It would make sense for them to look similar.
that being said, I can tell the difference /shrug
Kobold is easy to tell apart from the others
as is Lizardfolk
the only one that would really be difficult is half dragon and dragonborn
as a dragonborn is almost just a human half dragon
Dragonborn and half dragons look nothing alike...
Half Dragons always have the head of their dragon half so they are super distinct from dragonborn...
i guess i should clarify, by really difficult i mean with any amount of difficulty
as all the others are easy
as a dragonborn can have a yknow, dragon-like head
Without scrolling higher what race is this? (art by kestrel)
given it's kestral, kobold
Thats a Lizardfolk because i've seen the art already xD
no wait yeah
based on official 5e stuff, it cant be a dragonborn
cause officially dragonborn dont have tails
drawing dragonborn head is a pain in the rear to draw
even though everybody ive ever spoken to agrees that them being tailless is silly
although it does give them a distinction when looking at them compared to other reptilian races
I'd say kobolds can't have the head "fin" things
This is the problem with reptilian/Draconic designs (It all looks good but there should be something defining the race)
theres also the whole thing with nonofficial art of artistic license on how people want them to look lol
Thatโs true
also to consider: half dragons arent a player race
but yea, most people who ive seen with dragonborn characters have them have a tail
because it looks better
Ngl, I thought they had tails until I read up on it.
And I learned this looks at watch 30 seconds ago
I am pleased to be the work study of the lizardfolk~
I enjoy your art kestrel ๐
Then you may feast your eyes on this picture once more ๐
Itโs gettinโ all Phoenix Wright up in this hizzouse
Thank you everyone for contributing in this conversation
So I think yโall should know
ARK and I are on a podcast
We stirred up this conflict for a YT channel
Weโre discussing the controversy behind primarily kobold designs
go on...
I hope you guys are ok with us using context of this conversation on the channel
Weโre small and non-professional, we really just do this for fun
Honestly, there doesn't have to be that much physical difference between those three scaled races.
I know a lot of people would prefer if Dragonborn had tails.
But they donโt though .3.
Not officially, anyway.
They just donโt have tails though, man. Itโs in the handbook
But they can if you want them to in the world. It's D&D. The only limit is your imagination and the consent of the table.
Indeed
I know its a podcast but if you use art used from this conversation, credit the artists
But I'd say the easiest way to distinguish a lizardfolk from other races is that they often have more real-world reptilian aspects to them, such as frills, bright colors, or crocodilian jaws.
Also there is one thing some people often forget about dragonborn funny enough.
The dreadlock scales
Beard ones for males
Hair like ones for females
That art is Argonian from Elder Scrolls.
Weโre crediting the artists, donโt you worry. Our 60 subs who are just here because they forgot that they subbed will know who made these drawings
Or at least, who posted them.
And where they were posted
Weโre not pros
Which art is argonian?
Any objections to posting the context and some art from this server on YouTube?
None from me, at least.
Same
Yes, from Kestrel. They look like Argonians from Elder scrolls with those head fins.
Another point being that kobolds generally have very thin body structures, where dragonborn are depicted as being a lot more heavy-set.
Argonians are based on lizards rather than dragons
Dragonborn be chunky
The art says Argonian to me more than anything else. shrugs
so that would make sense that lizardfolk and argonians look similar
I get that reference. But if we further discuss the differences between the scaled humanoids of D&D we should take that to #dnd-discussion
Well, given that it is a discussion on the appearance, I'd say art is an apt enough channel to discuss it in.
i do agree that i messed up Doom's nose, after correction he turns out even cuter so i'm happy. BUT i'd like to counter argument that @gentle turtle you gave yours ears ,which they don't have according to the drawings in the manual !
owo
thank you @solemn bay but like I pointed out I based mine on both 5th edition and the first edition art. ur boi looks cute lol
do you have a ref of what the 1st edition kobold illustration looks like ??? i would LOVE to see that !!
THAT was from the 1st edition ??? damn. i thought you picked that up from a old tapestry drawing or so ... i'm done complaining about the 5e illustrations hahaha
A product of its time... Very much like a product of 300 years before haha\
I kinda like the quality of those older drawings - the line work is very clear and comic like
I wonder if the style was more to do with getting something to print cheaply and legibly.
Probably. But it does set the mood i think
The art was praised at it's time. I bet in 30 years time, when algorithms can generate photorealistic images of any scene, current art will be treated with equal regard
I mean, id hope so.
back then you would have used offset lithography and only needing 1 or 2 plates instead of 4 for CMYK is way way cheaper. the illustration style also conjures up associations with medieval woodcuts and almanacs
today's digital paintings have more in common with early C19th Romantic paintings
Homebrew Dungeon World character Candy the tiefling trickster - shes a mix of illusory wizard and rogue
Nice! Great lineart
Iโve noticed that ever since Mollymauk was introduced, tiefling horn adornments have become much more prevalent. Not a nitpick, just something I had noticed and was fascinated by
(I know Iโve been posting a lot lately. I promise Iโll chill after this one haha. But I really wanted to share) I tried something different for my kobold wizardโs backstory ๐
That looks great
No worries here! I personally enjoy how active you are in terms of your art. Itโs always really well done
Its always a pleasure for the eyes.
Quick question unrelated to the art: how is it exactly that you label a post as a spoiler? Iโm just kinda new to anything beyond typing a message & joining a server in discord, and Iโd like to know in case I make any touchy CR art in the future
Iโve only being able to do that when posting stuff from my computer
|| on both sides
||see||
As for a picture, thereโs just a box that you check off
||like this?||
Yep
Ok yeah, got it, thanks man ๐
Amazing art done of my half elf assassin, Sylvia!
Art by GalaxyGirlChel on Twitter!
Looks like someone you really wouldnt want to encounter at night. Or day... Looks good!
The artist is GalaxyGirlChel on Twitter!
apparently she is your girlfriend? :P

Yep! I asked her to bring my char to life lol
Candy again , wanted to do an official character portrait
We sure do ๐
Link will be coming shortly
Ok, not going to post the link, but the image is a cropped version of art from what appears to be an MMO named Crowfall.
This is the alternate art I'm considering
Ok, I actually like this one
And it fits the semi-androgynous nature of fey
hey guys, for all of you who are into making your own buildings and terrain, i recently found a channel on youtube called Black magic craft. i recommend you check it out
@stone slate BMC is great. been watching for a while now.

I've tried a few of his videos and they are super helpful.
used to use small cardboard boxes as homes.
nice

Dun dun dunnn
i was about to say "oh wow its an oc" but then i relized we play D&D and make oc's everyday and then i felt bad

i did and i missed
Hello everyone. This is my divination wizard Luke. I drew him for an upcoming modern setting d&d game.
he looks like a dude with magic cards
I have a question, for miniatures (like ones you custom make thru HeroForge) what type of paint best suits them? I got a few characters of mine I want to paint but I wasnโt sure what type of paint to use.
Acrylic paint for sure, you can use cheap paints (make sure to water them down or use a wet pallet, you can make a wet pallet yourself using tupperware, paper towel and parchment paper) -- but the best paints you can get will be hobby paints. I personally have a preference for the brand "Vallejo", which you can get at most game stores, but lots of people like "Citadel" more.
Thank you very much! Iโll probably head over to Hobby Lobby or one of the closest craft stores to find it ๐ itโll be a nice weekend project for sure!
Don't mind the sketchy-ness of this. This is the design of the skull I gave my Cubone inspired Kobold. It's a mix between a cubone and red dragon skull
let me guess this kobold has a bone club they use as a weapon
and can be thrown as a boomerang
if so then you are my new best friend
I need that too. Omg
...Maybe
that is a v good concept!!
tfw your rogue and monk ended up being based off the same kind of cat
Thats some good memeage there!
thank you!!dnd memes are the best sustenance
I finished a complete sketch! And by complete i mean gave up when I couldn't get the Damn feet right and didn't even attempt hands
Hes adorable!

Oh? Lemme check again
@lilac warren I know this is late but I just realized, does that art have something to do with the Combine from Half Life it is that just me??
The scene with man in the gas mask and the aircraft is what Iโm talking about, in case you needed context
Another one that I like a lot:

Listen to the song โlords of ironโ. That is what happens when this glorious bard rolls a nat 20 performance check
A couple of dragon eggs, 3d printed and painted 0.08 mm layer height
Base is 20 mm approx.
(model is Earth Egg from the Lost Dragons kickstarter)
so cute !!!
@ancient wyvern Nah, it was based off stuff I thought of years ago when I was in high school.
Literally made everything up as I went along.
@nocturne tangle I love Luke so much ! His socks are so cute
I'm working out a quick handout map of the local county but I can't figure out what to put down inbetween the areas of interest
Like that huge chunk of land in the middle
Could be site of an old and vast war that out of respect no one builds anything on
Also, looks great
An old sassy fisherman npc for my playerโs next session ...

Looking cool
@solemn bay Very kobold-heavy campaign, eh? ๐
@violet furnace different campaigns actually but theyโre reaching a kobold crafters town soon indeed and my little wizard will be part of the npcs too haha. Thank you for noticing that it is a kobold though!!!!!
Yay for kobolds!
Animation meme WIP
Gasp there was a kobold
@boreal flax My Kivan died in the most amazing way, opening a trapped chest that Imoen did not notice, right after I finished his main quest. That death was so amazing, funny and well timed I never revived him. it was a perfect fit for the story
NOOOOOOOOO
Rest in peace. Glad someone got what his image is though!! ๐
First time anyone here got that! REALLY glad someone got that.
@terse pasture rlly love the art style
Thank you!!
It really is a good cartoon style. Can say I like also.
My Wizard who's currently going through Hoard of the Dragon Queen looted a Belt of Dwarvenkind, and now he looks like a really nerdy Dad. Art commissioned over @lean flare.
The Dwarf Forge Cleric in the party's reaction was beautiful. He's been non-stop bugging him in Dwarvish since the attunement.
"Now THAT'S fine Dwarven beardwork, right there. It's finally happened, Galerion. You're finally a REAL man."
Please don't post other's work without permission.
Itโs fine ๐I still cannot get over how much of a dad he is now ๐คฃ
@flint ridge I had permission, as well as paying money for it and wanted to show it off. I assumed that was permitted?
It was in reference to some deleted things @spiral hemlock
Ah, gotcha. No worries, then!
Should I write cantrips in this or just spells
Cantrips are spells? ๐ค
I thought they were just lv.0
Pretty much, still spells though ๐
they just dont use spell slots
Yeah. In any case, id argue to atleast write down the spells with a lot of text or the ones that are not easy to remember. Personally id write it all down. Or just use DnD Beyond
Its mostly for Rp
Ah. Ehhh... In that case if youre playing a wizard, just the levelled spells. Because a wizard remembers his/her cantrips
Thanks ^^
Big dice box Iโve been developing. Not quite out of beta yet.. still perfecting, hence plywood construction. writing surfaces are dry erase. And thereโs actually a slot underneath to fit a book and/or character sheets.
DnD in a box. Looks like this is pretty much all youd need
I'm working on doing this out of a old book, will have a place for all my notes and stuff and will double down as a Dm screen, really hoping to see if the project goes well
@autumn plinth kinda has a jumanji feel to it. Me likey
I can hear the drums already
You should make instructions on how to make one yourself

So not necessarily arts but certainly crafts, wanted something for my online games where I could use something other than Roll20 and could make tiles and props, queue 8 sheets of paper, 4 plastic wallets and a roll of tape. Takes up part of my desk but with a top down camera behold my monstrosity!
"Its aliiiiiiive"
Itโs finally done! Art by Elicitie on Deviantart.
Oh heck thats awesome!
@wicked yoke Sending this straight to my scale-loving friend
He always plays dragonborn
A fair choice.
Lately it's kobolds with him though
HOLY!!! Thatโs amazing!!! I AM IN LOVE

Wooow. Thats some background lighting
I'm so happy with this art piece, and how it turned out.
That is very nice.
I'm shocked it was top place for a bit.
It felt so nice being able to gush about this character.
I love the mouse
love the style!
I drew a villain for another dm ...
Yessssss looks awesome

Is there someone who can commission a PC portrait for me?
I decided to finally commission the homebrew I use of the most chaotic item in the game. Deck of many things
Cant wait to see it in action
@tawdry shoal Here's the extent of map that my hexcrawl / westmarch players have explored. Lately, the campaign has been slow/on hiatus cause of summer stuff and lack of interest, and they've been focused on dealing with know threats instead of explored unknown lands.
That style of map is a really good idea for a West Marches game! Looks good!
The full map is hidden by a layer of black cloudy hexes that I delete as they explore.
Also made a script for Roll20 that lets me send all the fog of war hexes behind the map when I need to see it.
@copper ravine how big are the hexes?
Point of reference: Dragon Magazine #77 (September 1983) has the instructions for the Tarot of Many Things. Every Tarot card has an effect

they got 100 avariel elves in their service
and havent had time to build them homes yet
A place I call Havenholm
love it
Was my first story arc I DM'd. The settlement ran on the water but suddenly the falls dried up. Sounds like a quest!
id play it
look me up and a few others and ill give you he greatest character for this
I recognise that keep, Wonderdraft right?
@alpine tinsel hi! I do character commissions, if you're still interested :)
@wooden dagger I did find someone already! Thanks for the offer. If you have a website or link to your work please send it to me if I get something else in the future.
sure! it's on #dnd-advertisements ( https://discordapp.com/channels/516367331358801950/573191697622761512/606827614967169035 )

i honestly thought that was a necromanser
trying to figure out what my dragonborn's gonna look like
im trying to photoshop create my own deck of many things, anyone got design ideas, or for that matter, photoshop tips for creating card sized things
A simple internet search results in several versions you can look at for ideas. I just use my 30 year old set from Dragon Magazine #148
Cute!
@plain badger do you do commissions? That's awesome!
Do you think I should?
Hell yeah
A Dragon Horde dice bag? Dude, people would so buy those. Heck, I would if I had the money right now

That thing is awesome
Just make sure you don't underprice them and lose money.
I am more worrying about shipping as I am not US/Canada based.
that dice bag is dope
then charge for shipping, maybe? (idk I'm far from an expert on this sort of thing)
Wish there is a calculator kind of thing for this.
Oh my God that looks so nice, I'd buy it in a heartbeat
I made my own DM screen today... I was tired of having to show what I rolled to people and having to check how much a pitcher of ale and some bread costs
Looks very nice ๐
just me and the boys
MDF would be a very suitable material
As would the blood of the innocent
As a paint substitute I'm sure
@shadow nimbus I made mine out of this cardboard that looks a lot like plasterboard but thinner, but any rigid kind of cardboard would do
You can make the hinges with duct tape, just be sure to leave a little space for it to bend and fold
And then I just used a piece of purple fabric (I wanted to use fake leather though) and lots of hot glue to cover it all and make it look nice
And a golden ribbon for the corners and hinges
Cardboard if you can't afford anything. Cardboard, tape and some printouts would work.
I used plastic sheet covers for mine, so I can swap out information I don't need quickly enough
I use some folders taped together, that way it can hold things
Indeed it would Hoxton. Make sure to hide the bodies before the paladin get pissy
Use an old board from a board game.
Made a quick sketch of a new half-elf bladesinger for a Ghosts of the Saltmarsh campaign
Astute mans. I love them! ๐
A foxy rogue elf whoโs gonna steal in front of my players at a tavern and ask them to not tell anyone ...
A sketch for my kobold monk Kaz of the tiny Fist for the all kobold game. Enjoy!
nice
Okay I think I have figure out my commission price but I am not sure about the PayPal thing. Anyone use PayPal?
I use PayPal :) it is the most safe, secure and reliable way to take and send money for commissions.
My players have really started filling in the various islands in my nautical campaign, using a custom made map and deck of custom cards
Huh cool
Custom sheets for logging where they've been, the progress of their hideout and their ship. Plus some of the cards they can draw and a sextant for measuring range on the map
Awesome

Limited on my tools, but figured I would give making a few a go :) was a fun 30minute project
Designing a Bugbear for a Tabletop RPG carboard piece!
Damn nice
Thats one mighty bugbear from the looks of it
Definitely an herculean example of what a bug bear can achieve if properly fed and trained, for sure.
"Are you not entertained?"
Pending his disposition and outlook, he and his pack/herd would make for an excellent Ally or terrifying Foe.

Some decent coins'
Essentially my practice batch. Will see what my group thinks, and moving forward may get some better stamps and tools to make em nicer :)
fake screencap based on a dream spell our ranger had
what are those tokens? brass/copper?
Made another doodle of my kobold monk Kaz!
Not bad at all ๐
To be colored tomorrow hopefully
i like it
@unborn mica they are made out of copper
Oooh, I see a handsome scalie boy.
Nice!
Not a spell thing, really. There isnโt much magic in my sci-fi world. More high-tech gadgets & weapons than spells
High tech world could simulate some magic spells, but definitely not all.
With Technology
Well of course. I said thereโs not much Magic. Thereโs still some

Did a redraw of one of my players characters
owo
What? Do those of us who protect the realm and foster the prosperity of our citizens not deserve the greatest in personal protection?
Not bad! Honestly way better proportions than I can draw.
Or it would take me like an hour and a half to do something like that.
figured id share one of my latest dnd characters~
Looks awesome!
What a cutie! Screams swashbuckler to me.
thanks!! it does have pirate-y vibes but theyre just a stinky dragonborn
Dragonborn arenโt stinky just because lizardfolk are better!
i ALMOST used a lizardfolk but i wanted a blue dragon :P
Blue dragons are better. In every way.
You could always make your lizardfolk a blue-tongued skink.
oh thatd be so fun lol
Lizardfolk have a lot of variety in design since they encompass pretty much any lizard anthropomorphized.
im one of two artists in my dnd party rn so ive helped work on the character designs for some of my party, i love thinking of unique ways to interperet characters
i helped design the base look for my partys aaracockra monk
Those are some nice assets.
LMoP right?
I was gonna say, that looks miiighty familiar lol
LOL, I don't want to spoil anything!
Polymer clay wyvern sculpture to be used as a mini (though not so mini as I made it much bigger than intended). Next step is painting.
The detail is fantastic! Best of luck on the painting! ๐
Thank you!
Thatโs amazing! Did you sculpt that as a block or did parts and assembled it in the end?
I just added on clay over a wire and aluminum foil armature.

ye!!
i got the mental image of a sun soul minotaur channeling ki through his horns for the ki blasts and i fell in love immediately
Made myself a Kobold character, I haven't added her racial stats yet and need to figure out how the hell imma use her lmfao
Very Nice!
I think I was trying out the Archivist thing or whatever it is, some sorta home-brew bit but I might go for wizard or w/e since her whole bit was studying under a sorcerer or some other caster and learning from em
There is an Archivist Subclass for Artificer
Yeah that
literally based the character entirely around having fake boobs she hides extra items in xD
Thats genious!
i love her.
xD Fake titty-tote
what ELSE would a lizard use a bra for!!!
And with that charisma, deception checks should be easy xD
xD Sneaks a lot of crap past people
Storing apples and other fruits!
take her to the movies she'll bring a buffet
definetly!
Both of those characters look pretty good.
There was a monstrous race theme happening so I thought I'd share a character I am working on.
Itโs a Yuan-ti Hell Knight (Conquest Paladin of Dendar) who wants to claim herself a place in Yuan-ti society. Her malison mother (whom she despised), fell in love with a human and was forced to leave before Querila was born. So now she has rejected her parents, and pledged her service to the Yuan-ti gods (the reason she is more beastly than a standard pureblood is because she despises her own 'humanity' so has been attempting various ancient rituals to try become more snake-like).
I had this done by an artist on fiverr! I highly recommend this artist. This is Prince Keros a Triton Storm Sorcerer.
Nice
So I read somewhere that theres ice giants in one of the layers of hell I think stygia? or w/e and so I sorta thought... like... what if tiefling and now I got myself a conquest paladin XD
Very cool. I feel we donโt see enough tieflings over 20s or 70 kg haha
xD I love the idea of varying sized tieflings I sorta wanna try a dragon born one... would a dragon tiefling be a dragon or half dragon
That tief is dope
XD
new character for a CoS campaign after my first one literally taunted strahd too many times and died for it !! art by @toonestoons on twitter !!
lol
Players always think they can f with Strahd
I love playing him against arrogant PCs lmao
oh i knew i was dying when he caught me alone and took me away on his horse but i wasn't going down without swinging
love the art!
One of my players named their raven familiar.. Strahd's mother's name
He.. wasn't amused.. to say the least
our characters found the tome and then freed ireena so he had made it clear he wasnt playing with us anymore, so when he got my chara alone i went "well its been fun" and 1v1'd him on the ride to the castle. didn't win, but DM admitted i came close
(killed the familiar, rushed to the player, watched as some barbarians rushed the PC and beat a heavy armor wearing noble woman to the ground then Strahd killed her and raised her as a zombie for the party to find )
go off strahd, show them how its done
