11/10 would traverse.
checked this channel
so many kobold pictures after I uploaded Aine the kobold hater's drawing
tell Aine's player about it
he gets mad at me
He needs to be converted!
Kobolds are great!
I agree
Kobolds are cute creatures
the reason why he (she if it is his character) hates kobold is Aine almost got killed by kobolds in the very first session
You need a kobold in your party to show her that not all kobolds are bad!
in the last session we have we have some industrialist kobolds working in a salt mine
and they are very nice people
but yes i did enforced his kobold hating beliefs by making her drink a cup of kobold civet coffee
You have to treat it like an old dad and a dog
Just have a kobold follow them around and eventually they will begrudingly love it
ya right
haha
and in the last session those kobolds have better accommodations than the party
Kobold hater: doesn't want kobold.
Party gets kobold anyway
Hater and Kobold:
"F is for friends that do stuff together, U is for you and me! N is for anywhere and anytime at all!"
A very rough sketch of my next character. Nym, a female Dragonborn grave cleric who thinks death is sexy and doesn’t get why everyone’s so scared of it.
Very nice!
Not really relevant to this channel
i am going to draw that
Very pretty dragonborn.
@neon peak it’s cause of the nose. I’m basing her design on traditional Chinese dragons not the European take.
Thanks @wicked yoke and @opaque kraken ☺
Ah, that's a cool idea
Some of my crafts and paints
Oooh, I like that longship
I built it for my last game, really fun encounter. Players really enjoyed it
The small boat had something similar to control water on it, that was moving the longboat to shore. In 3 rounds the longboat hit the shore and the boarding party of the pirates boarded them. Led by a minotaur pirate. Was amazing
They completely ruined my minotaur by Tasha's Hideous Laughtering it out of combat and drowning him.
What a horrible way to go.
But I feel you there lol.
I had a giant crab encounter and the druid summoned smaller crabs and use their gnome's speak with beasts racial to essentially negotiate the large multi phase crab boss to just going away and leaving the treasure
I love these stuff. My players were like "Sorry, you must be angry that we ruined it". And I was sitting there mega proud of how creatively they handled the situation
Right?
It was equal parts confusion, pride and a little bit of "are you f'in kidding me right now"
That was back when I was a newer DM too. It was probably the first time I truly met the "Players will derail. Adapt" mindset I have now
I was pissed at the dice.... I think in 5 turns I never beat a DC 15 WIS saving throw with a +3 on it... But at the players I was really happy hahahaha
Yeah, being a DM is learning to let go... Just accept chaos
Exactly
Im running saltmarsh rn and they players just kind of go off and do their own thing lol.
a rough sketch of my campaign planning (and what i said 2 hours ago)
And yes, I will give this treat to Aine when they feast on the manticore
hey uhh
does anyone here paint minis?
tomorrow im gonna buy some but painting eyes is a nightmare for me
i need.. advice
@finite bough This is my Ame, the PC that transcended
Omg that art is beautiful
I got the artists permission don't worry o_o
Sweet.
Tood bad I can't play her unless it's a epic level game
She looks fierce
I can see it
Bookworm, teacher, fighter
@terse pasture I just returned to painting minis a couple months ago (after a 25+ year break). It's challenging, but fun. The eyes are still super tough. I suggest getting a very small brush, and using as little paint as possible. There are a bunch of videos out there that have been helping me.
Sweet image, @weary lodge !
Ty
Man I wanna draw that good
I just want to play as her again
Can a goddess come down in human form and just poke around for abit? ....wait does that mean im playing as a avatar, or just a reincarnate?
My demigoddess came back to aid her fellow Sisters of Destruction (yes, even the men were called that) against Tiamat. So...shrug
Okay, so if she croaks, the goddess form isn't dead?
Just hangs around the Astral Plane, really.
unless eaten by a Terrasque
How would I Rp that
"Hi I know what heaven looks like"
I should do a challenge where I turn my normal ocs into DnD ocs
100%
@old cape i will do so as well
Thought it was cute
source?
Its kind a look like the feline companion in Monster Hunter
That's what I was thinking
You shouldn't really post things if you can't attribute them, per the channel topic
And it turns a simple google for "D&D felis race" yields the imgur album by the creator with a link to their DDB entry
So it wasn't that hard
Thanks
No idea what kind of elf to paint. Any ideas?
Looks a bit Drowish due to the braids, but could be wood elf as well.
Thanks
All those long braids scream Celtic wood elf to me.~
Yeah, those are the two I’m really torn between
Red head wood elf with face paint? I can see that
I could see an autumn eladrin.
Just finished a bust of my Triton Barbarian: Toloros Deep-Speaker! He a gruff boy with a degree in archeology and intolerance for bullshit. 💙
I cannnnn't decide if my cleric is gonna be a dragonborn or a tiefling ... help me.
inspiration for tiefling, heart for dragon born ! haha
Both look great...but I am leaning slightly towards tiefling...
don't ask me I'll always say tief
tiefling seems more fitting
Both are so cool, though I think it fits the tiefling better
That Dragonborn though!
the dragonborn is great, but like I said, I'm totally not biased
Just have both characters and make them sister and the other can be a NPC
Definitely dragonborn.
dragonborn imo
Honestly tho the Dragonborn is very pretty
Imo devil horns are hot. My opinion goes unsaid.
Well yeah I prefer the tiefling but both are so good
can you talk with your dm on making a dragonborn/tiefling hybrid race?
id say dragonborn
remember kids, if you have to make a decision, choose all options at once
Play one, and maybe have the other as a bff or half sister?
Keep one as a backup? It's always good to have at least one.
Comission I got of my cleric from a Mad Mage campaign, done by https://www.deviantart.com/iara-art

👌
Someone here was asking about dice making tutorials I used (I can't remember who) so I thought I'd share this very good tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6PE7WT0jqU
This video shows the process for making sharp edged 'gem' style dice. These are the style of dice that you see all the custom makers on twitter, instagram an...
The guys method is really good as it's simple, reusable and produces split moulds for easy removal.
That video just appeared on my recomendations, lol
Same.
Tiefling won this round. i'm keeping my dragonborn design to turn her into a bard but the cleric shall be a Tief girl. Thanks y'all for helping me making that choice !!! ❤
Iconic! Those knee-high boots are everything.💙
Nice!!
Yeah, that'd be super neat if I had people near me irl to play with.
I ended up buying 2 of the starter kit a few years back and gave one to my friends little brother.
He is now my DM. 😂
The motorbike. 😂
Too right it is!!
ohhh I actually saw that a couple minutes ago!
looked at the twitter thread you mentioned earlier, decided "screw it" and just thought I'd scroll through
so that's what that was
I would say the party needs to explore more, but the seas are dangerous. Last time they set sail, their ship was attacked by a Roc
oh, dayum
Hi, building my own three piece DM screen and trying to decide which hinges to use and whether to attach to outside or ends? Any ideas?
The intuitive setup Id use is
P|H|P|H|P
P = panel, H = hinge
I mean, that's kinda the only setup....
@solemn crown you'd probably be well off checking YouTube videos on carpentry
Was just checking if anyone has done, got wood, artwork cut already, hinges were not good so wondered if anyone had a view
Technically you could make your own hinges out of wood and dowel
Width of the hinge piece would have to be 2x panel depth
And you’d have to round off the ends
One system I've seen a lot recently is magnets
You affix barrel magnets vertically
And then the screen attaches via the rounded outer sides sticking to each other
Wyrmwood does that with their screens. You can get screw fix magnets on Amazon
👍
wow :0
Found it on Google
So sick @weary lodge
i love it
The render is nice, cel shading kinda
Could you see a dwarf using it
👀
"the rose squere" also i dont see a dwarf useing this unless they do alot of fancy foot work
It was forged by dwarves for the Queen why
no the artwork
I got permission dont worry but I'll delete it
i think it's okay if you source the artist
Do dwarves only use weapons forged by dwarves?
o_O
He's a prince
they also prefer weapons that are on the heavy side
dwarvish society is pretty stubborn and surly tho
axes especially
but tbh dwarves don't have to lug heavy weapons
But stained by the blood of dragons...that's epic enough right?
I thought you wanted me to
i'm pretty sure if you give the artist's name you can post it
sorry
nah it's okay
my drunk self wanted to look at it more
it's just that i really want to find out what utter master drew it
oh
sorry Goblin
dang man
Yea, ever since my friend left me I've been a flopping fish
oh well hopefully the digital artist who made this will descend from the heavens to grace us once again
so a while ago I said I’d turn my normal ocs into DnD characters, so here’s my first one. His name is Dracko and I decided to turn him into a blue tiefling ;))
yay tief
swims in ocean, glubs
@old cape Incredible!
I just got started joining a homebrew campaign for my first time playing D&D, I drew my barbarian half orc with 2 different style and just wanted to share it here :)
very cool!
I just got finished coloring the right side only using photoshop, can I post it here just to show the colored version right?
dewit
i made a fake newspaper for a dnd prop
ho ho ho, my ultimate dm power, boredom prep
Thats awesome. How did you do that?
went into a phostoshop-like program
and then put in some paper texture
and just kept laying out lines and text
until it looked like something
Well, the result looks pretty awesome
@humble turret I like it, put some work into the fonts though, and the kerning on the headings, otherwise the texture looks good.
Cool 😄
@humble turret Sorry, I did a visual comms degree, I'm very snobbish about this kind of stuff.
Doesn't bother me
I know non professional creatives tend to respond very poorly to serious criticism, should try to avoid doing it, especially online, so sorry. All about having fun!
this is not the channel to discuss adventure design. you can go back to #dm-discussion or #dnd-discussion
So typically I'd use this one as a layer in the application itself
As a form of reference
This looks nice and deep and pressed
16h century
here's a version i did
trying to emulate that bleed through
of text on the back
it's not great
but it's free
take 3
i added some grunge behind the text layer at a low opacity
changed the header font
Nice
This font is really nice

Sorta missing the pun, but sure
My school of glamour dragonborn bard is doooone. the skulls are her instrument ! she dances and swings them like yoyos to impact against eachother and the beads to create a drum/rain like melody
Looks really good so far
@solemn bay looks real great
@hardy token thank you!!! 😁
Woo~
Oof look at everybody’s beautiful characters 👀👏👏
She looks like the type to flirt with the bartender to get her party cheaper drinks 👌 a party member very welcome to all my characters
Lovely! He is a confirmed good boi.
Testing some new tools on a Gamma World-y dude.
first time ever playing around with animation. I know its just a simple eye roll but ... IM HAPPY
That eye roll starts off a bit sudden i must admit haha
yeah i should put more frames to make it smoother
I feel it maybe should be a touch slower with some acceleration in and out
But otherwise amazing, plus I love those horns
she must have amazing neck muscles 😛
Getting a Nicol Bolas vibe, from MtG
Pretty neat though!
Indeed!
New warlock baby!!!
That floof!
Theres so much of it
Two tails?
maybe it's the familiar's tail
AgH finished these two beauties
They’re best friends/brothers can’t you tell nope, Broken Crown Hates Loki’s guts
looks like there's a floof contest going on hahaha
I already can imagine my living room filled with animal hair just by looking at all of this lol
thats so cute!
The edgy chars in that party better beware. Animal hair loves black clothes
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ definitely
Looks to be a gudboi in the making (don’t care what gender anything is, if it’s gud, then it’s a gudboi)
@terse pasture your warlock boi has mixed aesthetics reminding me of monster hunter and dragon quest. I heccin’ love it
Oh man, greatr lines
Your proportions are good.
Armor looks to be a bit light for a Paladin, but that's probably due to halfling
I'm not sure what a gudboi is, but that does appear to be a halfling.
Actually, excellent job showing a well-muscled halfling
a gudboi is a gudboi!
I'd hire you on one of my books.
it's a good boy
Thank you.
yesss
@placid jackal looks incredible
@ancient wyvern lol thank u, i really wanted to do sumthin fancy looking ahaha
cool character
Frankly, that's better than some artwork I've had to include in RPGs I've worked on.
Ya totally succeeded, man. He’s a very fancy floof indeed.
“Stop saying youre going to commit arson!”
Evil Yoda!
Why are they so expensive?
rare material, difficult to make
Zircon Glass
oof nice!
Gf, who deals in gems and minerals, says that those are probably more useful as display pieces
Would that be true of most gem dice, would she know?
Yup
They will all be prone to chipping
Even potentially when rolling them on a soft surface
Depending on how the crystal grew, what kind of faults might be in it, etc
Best bet if you plan to use them would be resin
Some may produce gem dice by like grinding up the gem into powder and putting it in resin
Gf’s friend has a set of ‘lapis’ dice of that type
She has a set of quartz dice herself but would never use hem she says
That makes sense.
I was thinking the same thing
if I ever did end up having enough spare money to warrant me buying them
they would be kept in a case to look at
I still long for these dice
One day
those actually look p nice too
That would definitely draw some stares from the DM if you kept rolling high.
They're draw stares anyway, they're beautiful
I need them....there....Loudly whispers PERFECT 👌
Ha, just me being a pedant
@neon peak do you have an idea for what the right word for A Homebrew Campaign is?
Ik but cya 👋
Backstory illustration for a client. His barbarian girl when she found her totem as a child ...
Oooh, I like the clothes style.
Working on a MOTW character art.Hope to get it done by the end of the week.
The pinnacle of artsy achievement, I present: The Grilled Cheeser. This Infernal War Machine was my table's only aid as we delved into the depths of hell at the D&D Beyond anniversary celebration last week.
Imagine the demons/devils being ran down by that
I love it so much I made it my twitter cover photo
is that Scorching Cheese shooting out at enemies?
sure is
Doodle
Good job
Getting a Watership Down vibe
true!
@gentle turtle ponty’s lookin’ like a tired boi
I dont care about school! Its drawing time!
pretty good
If anyone is looking for good instrumental music to use for campaign vibes I highly recommend soundtracks by Samuel Sim such as the Home Fires soundtrack:
https://youtu.be/lC5BsxWaX38
Welcome on Epic Step. I am a huge Game and Movie Fan. I also like Soundtracks and Trailer Music. And yes, I like to share all the amazing goods with you. You...
Obviously not good for streamed games unless you have permissions (unlikely)
Thanks! Might be more appropriate for the dm or general channel tho?
Maybe, but that channel is usually just rule arguing. There is little art appreciation there
spoilered for (censored, referential, artistic) nudity but this was my paladin
Oh, those are fun (and difficult) classes to play
they're toe'ing the line of paladin, and conquistador
right! it's such an interesting class
Thats a sick tattoo!
mini paint question: I cannot find the white shades in Citadel ?????
funny that in Vallejo range I cannnot find black, in Citadel range I cannot find white.
Well lucky you 😛
I like revell and testors
P3? I mean https://www.thearmypainter.com/
They seem to be well represented. If I understand correctly, they're a bit cheaper than Citadel and AV. They require a VERY good shake before use though, possibly with a mixing ball
Here's the official D&D colors: https://www.thearmypainter.com/dnd.php
White shades? You can mix your own tho...
H beam with X bracing top, second picture i imagine are the legs and the third is the table top itself?
First one is end of table bracing. second is the bracing between the legs. and last 2 are the table top and inlay
the idea is that it can be used as a large dining room table
can definitely handle the weight of my envy
and a gaming table
so it can be beat up and refinished if needed
but protect the important parts of the table
Thats nice
I'll build it one day
Just need to find a decent amount of lumber. Shouldnt be too hard
I've got the tools, and the lumber I can get. It's just no place to put it currently
Thats always a hassle as well.
@violet furnace with 50%water and 50%original Listerine yes.
That is very homebrew.
😐
@oblique cargo ok i got mixed up with privateer ones.
PRIVATEER P3 PAINTS
I was asking about washes.
ahh
i got bored. i drew a minotaur, for fun. i don't know 😅
i like it
Love that Boi
He simultaneously looks like he’s about to slay a purple worm and also sweet-talk a bartender. I love it
The best kind!
It's a very versatile facial expression
JJ always has awesome art
Yeh. Can’t wait to work with her.
I painted half decent mini eyes and im so happy w/ myself im gonna combust
Aww, cute!
Thank u!
doing a painting of my warlock
love your painting style !
@signal sky and @violet furnace how much do I owe you for the shout out publicity? 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for your support guys
finally finished with this painting, took me like 5-6 hours to complete i think, and thanks im glad you like it!
@solemn bay that'll be 5 pennies.
Can I pay in chibi drawing? XD
Lol!
Wonderdraft map. Still not finished, but decent enough to keep track
extremely good
everybody loves Wonderdraft
it's a fair price and offers a good scale
Its so good. Just a shame they dont have standard colours like Inkarnate
I'm tempted to update my map with the new features added, like frames and scale
inkarnate mapes are too small
This is the Inkarnate version, the original
The second one feels like a small island compared to a continent lol
inkarnate is a great tool, for the unbeatable price of free
and i begrudge no one for saving dosh
but if you can swing it, wonderdraft is well worth it
am look
here is a basic 2 minute tabletop map
and here it is after i put the decorations
so you just layer in little decor items from their site
to create a filled in space
this is made using decor from Yuikami which i paid for
but 2minute tabletop provides the same stuff
for free
i just prefer yuikami's cute style
protip
on roll20
if you use that
hold alt while holding a token
to ignore the grid
normally objects snap to the grid but if you hold down alt you can place an object freely
Maaan I wish I knew that before
I always turned the grid off, put it how I want, then put it back on
I've spent so long on Roll20 I know like most of the shortcuts
or at least the important ones
Almost looks like something out of Earthbound.
@solemn bay You owe me nothinggggg 😎
Drew this in 2 horus just to unwind. For some reason my character Catherinsa was a much braver version of myself. As someone who is living in a political turmoil in Hong Kong, realising myself being braver and getting closer to the ideal me is quite comforting.
I will call Catherinsa a very caring yet prideful lioness
Revised commission of my tiefling life cleric, Wren Heiland (done by @ alfonsaurus on Instagram!)
Ooo she's really pretty!!!
Fricking awesome looking
Love the artstyle
That looks super good.
@violet furnace it cost me approx 100$ usd, he has cheaper and more expensive options as well depending what you ask for!
just makes me wanna remake goblin slayer xD
Reminds me of my first group trying to attack the kobold hideout
tried my hand at a basic letter
used some tips from last time
erased some of the text and smudged some of it to try and make it feel more "real"
@rustic sedge I simultaneously want to hug the cute tief but am also intimidated by the fact that she could and probably would break my kneecaps if I did .-.
Must weight pros & cons... I could give a cute character a heccin’ hug... but I would also be physically broken afterwards...
worth it
@ancient wyvern she’s a healer so she accepts hugs
tokens by Yuikami
Map from the The 1 Million
a 1 million square foot dungeon battle map that's free online
That reminds me so much of the first Pokémon games ...
That's a niiiice ship
Hey that’s the next way to go dude!
These are truly some stunning dice
I'd be afraid of rolling those
Right?
They look like cgi
I was trying to figuire that out myself
She is seriously talented at making dice
It doesnt look real, it looks rendered
They're real, she made a set for (of flame inspired dice) for Liam O'Brien
Thats what we need here. A in-house dice smith lol
I've been spending an absurd amount of time researching dice casting
And I think I'm completely still not ready
My girlfriend started to make dice aswell and let me tell you that even if it may look simple, that's one hell of a difficult crafting process if you want to do it right x)
Oh yeah
It don't look simple to me
So kudos to her
Do you have any pics of her work?
Wow, so stunning
Yeah, instead of the 20 it would be a Beholder. Great monster dice. XD
🤔
Just multiple sets. A standard DDB set and a Adam set 😛
@DnDBeyond And I love the PHYSICS! Plan is to allow slinging and shaking.
(Again a disclaimer, UI is placeholder.) https://t.co/J8DcQJ1ikf

I created this map randomly
Kinda looks like a bird head
Or a crab claw...
I like it
Yeah its cool
I immediately want to go explore those islands
That dlc hasent been released yet, no monsters available
Elf portrait
Thank you!
Apologies if this is the wrong channel for this, but: does anyone here do mini painting? I'm looking to get into it and was wondering if there was a recommended starting kit etc.?
Nah, I'd say its a good one
Asking a friend who does it for a living his advice, so hopefully I can help you out @teal scroll
Making portraits for Beyond Icons is tough, ha. Spacing isn't always the greatest. But this is one of the better starts to a coloring I've ever done and this Summer Eladrin deserves to be shown off damnit!

From my friend: "These paints are very good quality. I like how they feel to work with. You won't be working against the paint like you sometimes do with worse stuff. And the color selection in this bundle should cover all bases, especially when you start mixing."
@cosmic flare That's awesome, thanks so much!

Made a map. 😊 https://images.plurk.com/3lYXpTJ3ogfmhFcAfDh87s.jpg
Oh dang, that there is a nice map. What did you use for that?
Thats a big map, nice
iI want to say its Wonderdraft, because i know you can make a frame with it. But im not sure.
Wonderdraft?
Well, with that response i take its not Wonderdraft 😛
The base I used is an action set for photoshop, a kind of planet generator. It wants some input texture for several layers, water, land + 2 more. I modified the stuff heavily and added the vegetation and stuff, the border and all the shit also. 🙂
Ah okay. Well, its an awesome result. And Wonderdraft is a map making tool in case you were wondering 🙂
Gonna have a look, maybe I don't need to spend hours fiddling with stuff if there is a complete tool for it. 😛
@opaque idol fixed some things, added more red and also a skyship view. Map complete now. 😊 https://images.plurk.com/74SMeCsRMhUnHPdtA8Uv4R.jpg https://images.plurk.com/17hXYFqcp0jKQwfCTdDmd.jpg
Those look awesome!
Thanks. A planet/moon/sun generation action for photoshop helps a lot. But still you need hours to add ALL THE THINGS. 😄
@signal sky Now I need to make my campaign as awesome as the map. 😳
Hahaha you got this!!! I did the silly thing of starting the campaign before I fully designed the world :P
Yeah no I also have a full city with lots of factions and NPCs ready, that is the starter and the players get told that this city will also be their location of choice for some time, so no wandering the map, city sandbox first, so they get into the things...
@sour lotus Yes. Some action set that you usually use to generate planets and suns and moons. and then lots of editing, adding the forests and shit. 🙂
Hahah thats better than me dude! So you've got this!!!
@sour lotus Search for CosmicPack 3, then you see what I used. Helps a ton. :-p
thanks!
Usually you create this with that pack: http://moolander.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/wallpaper2.jpg
This is a slightly outdated image. But this is the continent I was building for my party
@willow nimbus I might be in love with a map XD
Looks good to me. 🙂 if you use a good tool for a digital version it will also looks awesome. Scan the map, load it and then just paint over it with some icon sets. 😄
Yeahhh I feel like I should but it's not fully done and I want to finish it beforehand.
@opaque idol 😊 I am thinking about making a PDF or something containing the campaign including the world, maybe later.
whoops.
Haha, wrong mentions can happen with so many members 😉 But that sounds great.
Also the action set generated a 8000x8000 big world, I only cut out that small part of like 3000x2000 for the map. the part I found most interesting.
My upcoming character's backstory.... DM was curious about it, and asked for me to send it to him (I totally didn't have it written...so scrambled for 40 minutes to make him something semi-passable bwahahaha)
I remember back in the days of 9:43 AM (at least on the west coast of the US) today when people posted character art instead of maps
Here's some more maps
The first one is wonderdraft, the rest photoshop
They're the player maps from my nautical campaign, treasure maps style island maps
Niiiice.

I hope that the campaign I'm playing in has a nautical/seafaring story arc. I'm running a WarForged character, and we honebrewed that they can't swim due to weight and lack of fluids in their bodies.
If he goes over board. . .

xD oh no if he does
This is Londrehn my Aasimar Paladin Warlock. Art done by @EZombieArt on twitter
That’s awesome
Thank youuu!!!
Not sure I ever showed this here... From when I liked drawing, ,Orc Gunslinger.
The Saltmarsh themed West Marches campaign I'm in is ending soon 💔 So I drew my Paladin... I'm going to miss playing her 😭
😧 a west marches can end?
great drawing, cool character
The DM is a teacher so he'll be too busy to keep it up once summer is over! One session left 😩 And thanks Jay ❤
Any opinions or feedback? Trying to conceptualize a necromancer I'll be playing in the future.
I like 2 the best.
i'm partial to 8 but 2 is a close second
8 isn't bad, either.
I like 1, 8, and 4
Have you considered changing the pose at all?
5 seems a bit too druid-y for a necromancer. i'm assuming that's a string of flowers around the hips
Cotton poarchment?
I will consider changing the pose, yeah
The center of gravity looks off to me.
It's wool, I mean
Also, the right hand looks a little off.
(personal note: I do art direction for RPGs for my day job).
I like 1, 2, and 8
I will be sure to re-draw the base body with more care, thanks.
I like 8
That's wonderful!
I'd approvate that ina book
Heck, if yo u have a portfolio please PM it to me. I'll add you to my rolodex.
I am not a professional, sorry. Professionals get that done in one shift, that took me more like a week
Thank you for being honest there.
working on my goblin Bub
Ooh, nice lines. Good shading.
thats really good, better than i could ever do
wanna get to blending the lines tomorrow.
What program are you using?
clip studio paint! I recommend it leaps and bounds over anything else
Hmm. I've mostly been using a combination of illustrator and photoshop.
But I'm also a designer first, so those are more comfortable.
@rare cave I like the back story. 😀
@tame bloom If only adobe stuff wasn't that expensive I'd try using illustrator too. But with that price I rather stick to the photography bundle. 😦
@willow nimbus thanks! :) I'm looking forward to playing him
🙂
Just wanted to say I don't always get a chance to comment, but I love looking and leaving reactions on all the art! And coming to this channel ALWAYS brings me joy! Thanks everyone!
@tawdry shoal 😊
Agreed, man. I can’t get enough of these great pieces!
Too bad I can't draw, but I haven't shown the final version of my map yet. 😄 https://images.plurk.com/1WXLBHXbE8jHhcHRkTgMJE.jpg
@zealous tide idk if u decided yet but 2 looks rlly good
I like them all, each one usable for a different class. 😄
Thank you, the lighting is hard to manage
Stylized
4 hours
Looks great
Just an idea
to make shapes like this
you can make the sides on a flat surface and them bend them to fit a shape like the chest
like when you craft something with pepakura
hopefully i'll find the time to color it ... my dishonored blood hunter elf ❤
Oh that is cool
She got some heccin’ automail going on. I like her 👌
Very cool
Built-in armor is always a welcome addition in my mind
The heroforge mini of my rogue came in today!
He’s adorable im excited to paint him
Working on the necromancer I was asking about the other day. Thank you to everybody who had advice and stuff.
The idea is that he's basically "spooky scary skeletons" with his minions
Is that his theme song?
Just finished painting my first ever mini! Felt really accomplished now.
What class is that? I assume Drow Caster, probably not wizard. Sorcerer?
A Drow Cleric/Sorcerer.
@nimble oracle haha, love the mimic! 😄
@ancient wyvern i see you're a man of culture. yes i couldn't find a model of prosthetic leg that i liked as much as the FMA...so ...
I like it a lot, especially as someone who had to create the full automail arm for a cosplay a while back. Big fan. Besides, it looks awesome! Keep up the good work!
quick test maralith and WWE wrestling naga to test some scheme for a warhammer snek army
Beautiful
thanks john!
i love using paint 3d a(s) my only option for digital art i'm so happy that my school computer, which is the only one i have with a touch screen, (b)locks m(e)ndibang like a boss. i definitely didn't want it (ve)ry much at all
@hardy gulch cute. 😊
Drawing and playing on roll20.
The Koboldcatcher of Whereverwhere?
My kobold bard. ❤
Looking good
The worst part of playing a Kobold.
i love the style of that!!!
Fun!
giant groupshot for my waterdeep party
Amazing, I love it!
The fluffy lad definitely stands out from the earthy tones everyone else uses with those blues
Hey what do you guys Think about my character art
😮 its a bardbarian
No it’s a bardbarian the axe is a instrument and a weapon
I guess I'm trying to make a Kobold rogue now. This is the rough sketch/concept so far.
quick sketch of my Orc grandma character
and a more finished painting of my goblin rogue Bub
@toxic axle So much improvement compared to the sketch you posted before. 😄
Also I have completed editing my map and am writing background for it now. If anyone wants a non-blurry PNG version of it, tell me. 😄 https://images.plurk.com/6jC5VgCbQLWKQ4X4rtBFtu.jpg
Looks good. I would make the text stand out a bit more. Maybe use a less transparent outer glow around them.
Increase the font size just a smidgen.
@copper ravine Yah, fiddling a bit more with the labels and also the landmarks... right now I dropped in small castles for the main cities, but I also have small golden rings instead on a different layer, unsure what to actually use...
@humble turret A planet generator helped me to create the general stuff, then I added tons of stuff ontop. 😄
There is an island with a magical barrier around in the bottom, a rubbery small continent on top ( wonder what that is. 😄 ) and a maelstrom on the top right... maybe I add more small things like that.
And if I finally get into DMing something on it, it will probably change a lot. 😛
it's map version 7.3 right now
😄
@humble turret the map with the Dragonwilds on it? Nice one. 🙂 Also I like the ship you made
Sure one would be an idiot not to use the tools that are thrown at you. 😄
I started with those planet generation actions for photoshop, then fiddles a lot in PS, the cities are from an icon set I bought, and stuff like the 3 shiny mountains are made with Filterforge, which is an amazing tool (or plugin for PS). 🙂
But still with all the tools I spent like ... uh 18 hours on that map now.
Yes it is. Look at the trees. If I now want more trees, I just paint with a special brush on the woods layer and it just sprays trees on it. 🙂 And the snow bits on the brownish mountains? That's just "bevel and emboss" feature with a bit of twiddling around with it. 😛 If I now add more mountains, the snow automatically is added to it. So I have a pretty nice set of in-ps-tools now to make more maps WAY faster.
My Paladin
@left portal Wow, nice!
some doodles i did after visiting a Hong Kong / French Comic exhibition. Had this idea of drawing a happy druid animal love story to lighten my mood.
@mellow dawn Oh, that looks nice. Wanna see it when finished. 😊
I want to try drawing dnd animation if i have time
nice
Really want to tell the story of whale milk ice cream and other monster cuisines.
A cutie I did for a drawing challenge ... tieflings are love you guys. And kobolds. And dragonborns... and and ... yeah ok they’re all awesome.
oh she's gorgeous!!! Fantastic job JJ!!!!
She looks lovely 😄
I love her
Thanks guys 🤙🏼😁
@willow nimbus btw the first frame is not drawn by me, it was from the promotional leaflets in the show
Pink tieflings 😌
@solemn bay aw cute. 😄
Thanks 🥰
@solemn bay 😱😱😱😱😱
So pretty omg
something a little different? haha I finished a game for a gamejam. it has some monsters and the main character is a plague doctor so it felt appropriated to post it here: https://foletto.itch.io/plague
@wooden dagger cute. 😄
thanks!
Drew another one of my normal ocs as a DnD character, this time a Drow blood hunter
Warlock to test clip studio
Looks great!
@wooden dagger I love the look! Reminds me of classic game boy games. It wouldn’t happen to be a free to play game, would it?
@ancient wyvern it's a free game! I made it in a short period of time. there is a tip jar of sorts but you don't really have to pay anything to play it. there's nothing to purchase in the game either haha
@terse pasture Aw, cute. 😊
Gotta love Wonderdraft, not bad for 20 mins work
Although messing with themes, I prefer this one
@neon peak Looks good. 😊
You don't have a building nummbered 9 or any information on building 11...
Its giving me a slight Stranger Things vibe with the names, but it looks great
That's intentional
I'm basically ripping off ST for this one little arc as an in joke with my party
Got my icon style figured out for the reset / restart of my hexcrawl/west march campaign for when I switch to the Foundry VTT. Will be nice to have actual RTS style fog of war instead of having to delete hexes as they travel.
@copper ravine Oh, looks good!. 😮
Thanks. Working on putting together a full set of stuff now.
👌
Where did you guys get your character art done. Did you do it yourself
Finally got a good shot at my Tiefling Bar Sirus Salerus 😍
Looking cool
briliant job on the shading
Yeah that kobold I was drawing turned out to be a little nsfw.
Not really but it’s hella suggestive.
@dreamy canyon yeah most of the people who post here draw it themselves (including me). When commissions are shown the artist is always tagged 😃 if not, it’s homemade 🤙🏼
@solemn bay ah that makes since. Cool. Wish I could draw worth anything
Hey stick figures are still art!! 😁
Mom? 👀
A new DND character of mine. Please give him a nice welcome to existence, I accidentally drew him too sweet.~ 💙

Loving the lizardfolk’s intimidating lookin’ design
@proven estuary a Tabaxi?
Hoping to inspire some folks
I'm happy if you'd like to use it for campaign inspiration or reference images to give to your players but I'd please do credit appropriately ^^'
@hexed knoll Awesome!
THank you ^-^
That looks like it'll slot nicely into Avernus :o
Ooh, I can def see that
Hey friends! Anyone have any experience jumping through the legal hoops to sell D&D tabletop accessories? I'm combing through the SRD and OGL, but I have a few questions about a few grey areas.
Are you using intellectual property of wizards of the coast for your accessories?
I'm trying to avoid anything explicitly restricted by the SRD. It'll be a reference card system similar to Deck of Many, but more streamlined and flexible. The SRD has a bunch of creatures I'm wanting to start with, but it's missing a few I want to include and I'm not sure how close I can get to mimicing creatures that exist but not restricted in the fine print.
Like for instance, "Anchorite of Talos" from the latest Dragon of Icespire peak (my first DM experience yay!).
It's not forbidden in the SRD, but it's part of a campaign. The words "anchorite" is fair game but "of Talos" is fuzzy to me. Not to mention the stat block and abilities. I can fudge it a little to make it unique but compatible. But how far can i go is the question.
I'm a designer for some big corps. so I have some experience jumping through these hoops. I'm just gathering experience from the community how they accomplished this.
@lost frigate The Wizards have an article about this which also includes a link to a ticket system where you can ask about more details... https://support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000902443-Use-of-Wizards-Intellectual-Property
symbol of dawa, god of libation and merriment
@willow nimbus Oh boy! Thanks!
I'll try this out and see if it answers my questions. Thank you!
Experience from community might be completely wrong, best is to always ask the copyright owner about stuff. 😛
If they say "you can", get this confirmation in written form from them and you are covered. 😛
Good point, some of the articles I've read claim that WotC can be a little vague about things, but best to pursue all avenues possible is my belief.
Nah if you list the stuff like here "name of anothername" blabla can I use it... they can't be vague about it right? MAYBE is not an option here. 😛
Unfortunately, Wizards of the Coast cannot provide assistance with, or legal interpretations for, questions related to our licenses. If you require further assistance with something beyond what can be found on our website, we recommend that you consult with a lawyer or other legal professional of your choosing qualified to interpret such documents.
Just read this, but I'll dig more
But I guess when asking you maybe get the "full stack of license documents" or something you can file through. I do not think this one-pager is all they have.
Also did you check this sub link? https://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/systems-reference-document-srd
Yup, this is where I got the SRD and OGL documents.
ok
I've gone through it, but the language is vague when it comes to existing creatures
They literally have the names and stat blocks of 177 creatures in that document
Those are allowed
But things like "anchorite of talos" or even "boar" are not in it
I'll keep poking around, I'll find answers 🙂
boar is a regular english word, they cant forbid the use in your stuff. 😛
same for anchorite
Maybe "Talos" is a name you may not use ...
I know right! But I dont want to get lawyered because "boar stats are forbidden"
Oh stats... maybe.
I want to replicate their stats, names can change i guess, but I want to get as close as legally possible
I was only talking about the usage of the word, not full stats... sure if the stats are not in the SRD... then not.
just for the sake of the players
I know i'd want it to be as close to the rules as possible
But you could ... mention a boar with a "statblock see GMH" 😛
Or MHB or whereever it is in.
Ooooh referencing any book is forbidden
Even mentioning that it's compatible with "Dungeons and Dragons" is forbidden
You can skirt it by saying "Compatible with the greatest roleplaying game of all time"
Or by saying DnD
It is? What sillyness is that? I mean that is what creates SALES. Oh man...
DnD 5e is allowed
But D & D is not
Trust me, I've been pouring over these documents
I'm already in prototype phase and I want to be sure I'm not doing anything wrong
(Prototype is what I used in my Dragon of Icespire campaign, and the players LOVED it)
Are you writing a campaign or something? 🙂
Yes, but thats another project that'll have its own issues 🙂 this is just a printed reference card system
And if WotC are touchy about even HINTING that this is compatible with Dungeons and Dragons, I want to be sure me listing "boar" and its stats are not violating their sacred laws
🤔
A real headscratcher I know lol
Probably not the channel for this kinda discussion, chatter is supposed to be kept to a minimum as so to allow space for artwork.
Also asking for legal advice from anyone other than a legal expert is generally a poor idea 😛
I realized that just now heheh, sorry
No worries
Here's my half-elf Bard, Faelar Noir, as an apology.
Thats what my party said... lol
I love you to, random citzen
i could pm you some tutorials
Sure!
Attempt at pixel art of my kobold bard who hails from the desert. (lvl 7, been playing for 5 months now. Best character I've ever played.)
They've?
Someone hit him in the eye.
He is multiclassed in Warlock and his patron made him gauge out his eyes to replace them. I re imagined the Hexblade gift as eyes instead of stupid weapon. I only use spells.
😄
I'm opening CHEAP COMMISSIONS!
$4 WATER COLOR SKETCHES!
$6 STILL PIXEL ART!!
$12-15 ANIMATED PIXEL ART!!! (Examples in the replies!)
They can be of OCs, existing characters, real people, whatever! DM me or email me at ejayamaral@gmail.com for details!~
Should go in the advertisement channel
So do all our profile pics. 😎
For all the Dragonlance fans out there.
Nice
Dragonlance needs to be brought back as an official supported campaign. Kinda tired of Forgotten Realms.
I got tired of forgotten realms too. That’s why my group made our own home brew world
My group of friends made a homebrew world as well. We each run a different continent. We joke anytime we get into a out of game fight a war between their continents have started.
I need to save up some coin and commission a map for this campaign idea I've had percolating in my head for over six years:
My campaign idea is a world where the Sylvari have been around for awhile, but quietly in the distant wilds. When humans and dwarves encounter them, the disruption to Sylvari life echoes into the Dream of Dreams, creating the Nightmare. The Nightmare spreads and escapes into the mortal realm and all of civilization is fighting a losing war against the encroaching threat.
The PC's are sylvari given a Wyld Hunt to traverse this nightmarish dreamscape that the world has become and to "rescue" as many of the other races as they can, capturing the essence and minds to ward within the Dream of Dreams for the day when or if the Nightmare is ever defeated
Heavily inspired by Guild Wars 2 lore.
I was gonna say lol
a cutie who's gonna try to trick my players in the next town ...
This is my character list, btw. I have a long list but at this stage these will do.
Eiji is meant to be a Red Wizard but as it is not available on DnD Beyond app, I tweaked it as close as I can get.
Also I need to draw my own profile picture of her, too.
Map for my campaign
@plain badger can I see the character sheet for war mage? I'm curious about them.
I have 16 sheets in total

icon for 20
