Updated Reeds, and another lizardfolk!
Not totally happy with Reeds' foot though...
Shhhshshh tiny detail. ‘Tis gud scaly boi
But reeds is female! Not that it matters for lizardfolk... 😛
really like how the other one turned out.... look at the primitive mother fudger
Its like dude. Anyone can be a dude
Or like when I say “hey guys” to my friend group that is lately females
damnit, your dude logic has caught me 😛
Largely*
Special October price commission of a dwarven fighter!
Inktober day 3 -Bait
I feel like I took the term “bait” in a little different direction. This scene happened in our live-streamed session 19! Those eyes? A dragon 
I think it still fits bait pretty well
if anyone would like anything 3dprinted let me know
Looks really good
Some of the things I've made my poor players face lol plus a random mermaid pic a friend asked for.
Roper-toad is still one of my favorites!
All the powers of a roper and giant toad!
@toxic axle that's a big lady!
🎵 All I wanna do, I see you, turn into a giant woman 🎵
Inktober day 3
My exhausted inktober for today. Since it ended up looking a bit yuanti I thought I’d share
Gotta give got before you get got
Discord really doesn’t wanna load this picture. My third time trying to post it
But have some progresssssss
Breadblade! 😄

Hey guys I need someone to commission for a drawing of an Eladrin Warlock. On top of that there will be a few things for added flair and background. Also this is a drawing for my best friend as a bday gift. If you are interested dm me 🙂
I really should get some decent pain software lol
@toxic axle the sword reminds me of an ancient Nordic sword from Skyrim. Just an interesting observation I thought I’d make about your fantastic drawing!
oh interesting! its actually Hazirawn from hoard of the dragonqueen
That’s something I hadn’t heard of. If you’ve never seen it though, you should look at the ancient Nordic sword. The guard is very similar. Though regardless of use, I love the design
Finally done with my BBEG !!!
that monster looks familiar, what's it called again? I wanna say its some kind of sphinx?
No clue. I came up with the idea but I don’t know if it already exist. I posted a quick paint of it earlier this year
oh maybe that's why I recognise it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
is that the body of a brass dragon?
nah looks more like a gold in shape
oh wait yh
Yes gold ☺
A golden dragon Centaur thing
@solemn bay woahh
Lamia, I think
Just got done today 🤗 love how she came out
Beautiful
;-; @lean flare why you gotta be so good at art & stuff, man
🤗
And I’m over here with my most praised works being rectangles with circles on ‘em
In short: I am big jealous of your big brain art skills
but they're good rectangles with circles on them
Thanki
Ditto, I love those little guys
T h a n k
That's awesome
Dood I loooove it
Finished product
Yo that's awesome
Yeah I wanted unconventional horns, that still fit the build.
Fantastiv, I love it
are you sure he isn't a ni-cromancer?
They probably should've gone with Tim, from the school of enchantment.

I SWEAR TO GOD THIS COMMISSION MADE ME AGE AT LEAST 5 YEARS!!😭
I like him tho.....🙂
ooo worth 5 years
Very angry dragonborn.
Me likey @meager wharf
@final raven thank you
am tired so heres inktober day 6 with poorly drawn eyes and arms
https://twitter.com/MainlyMortal/status/1180939249148841984
Finally got around to designing my Tabaxi Ferra a figurine so I can paint it, should be here soon, and I’m hyped https://anvl.co/share/a13309cb
@hardy gulch your “Knights who say NI” didn’t go unnoticed, good sir
Another drawing of my drow, Viegos. I temporarily changed him from a Necromancer to a rogue assassin to fit my new campaign
Figgured I might as well post the only DnD character of mine ive gotten comissioned but this is Djak-li barbarian monk from a mercinary tribe in the underdark looking for a force great enough to end a war thats been raging for over 100 years
sun hat because surface travels are a pain when sunglasses have not been invented
Kensei totem warrior
I like the hat concept haha
it made her not have sunlight sensitivity when
as matt mercer would put it
it's high noon
she was in a party with an abjuration wizard with 22 constitution 
I dont think he was ever knocked unconcious
hold on I can probs find the full piece
ya thar we go
the dragonborn was a divine soul sorcerer eldritch knight fighter
the half elf a bard fighter
and the dwarf a full wizard
so we had two half healers and a lot of dps lol
wait a second that dragonborn has 2 left hands xD
Rakshasa jazz hands
Perhaps they botched up putting on the hand of vecna
Cut off the right instead of their left
My tiefling bard, Menagerie. First time basing a mini
Looks great!
Figuring out driders
👀
decided to change it up a bit and draw a lanky, beautiful character for enchantment, was really unhappy with th quality of day 6 so i tried to really step up my game for this one
https://twitter.com/MainlyMortal/status/1181332488074870785
I thought I would share, I'm creating a comic series using my Bard and my fiance's Wizard. It's a work in progress that I occasionally post on my Instagram. I'm also using them for Inktober too. 😄 DnD brings so much to artists, it's so fun drawing Mimic Pianos and magic wielders. I'm so glad to be introduced to this game by my fiance six years ago 😄 It would have been nice to be still playing, but neither one of us has the time and our last group had a shit DM 🤣
https://www.instagram.com/persephanie_ozrocs/
I don’t draw very much but here’s my first character design for my dnd character, Daiqek
I don’t draw very much but when I do I never draw bodies
uhh these are all so good, good job guys
@still cairn is this Hanzo from Overwatch
I’m doing a dice roller box which is in a WIP I’m slowly getting the LEGO piece to build it
Nice, how well does it work so far?
I’m going to try a full set of dices
Great character design
🤗
Thanks! ❤ ❤ ❤
Ah, the Morningstar. Such an underused yet amazingly brutal weapon
I mean if you thinking about it, any bludgeoning based weapon is brutal
"I made this heavy hammer to smash people faces but i've been thinking, what if i added spikes you know?/Just to really stick it to them."
"I call it, The Tenderizer"
I was under the impression that morningstars used piercing damage? Or was that just how my DM runs it?
I would roll both tbh
The oomph of a mace with the piercing of a sword. The Morningstar. Get yours today!
Yeah, I'm rather sad when I make a cleric that isn't proficient in Morningstar.
So iconic
so our group got the name "Magical Tea Party" because one of our members' wife called us that one day and it kinda stuck, I think the logo turned out well
I love it
I will homebrew a “create tea” spell now
Just gotta find the exact volume of a random teacup...
Thank youuuu
yes I used pencil in this one sue me
https://twitter.com/MainlyMortal/status/1181689465892327424
!!!!!
This is my new son!!! A shadow sorc who got his powers after somehow winding up in the Shadowfell for 2 years
I've only had him for 2 days but I love him so much
So does literally everybody in the guilds of Faerun
Poor tabaxi boy. I would protect him, but not from too close. It’s unbecoming for the nobility to linger around commoners!
You should've joined one of my guilds, because I really want to hug him
@terse pasture show me more cat boy!
<:3!!! I'll draw more of him!
Also damn, I shouldve.. but nothing stopping you from dropping by the Academy and saying hello Storm, lol
I told one of my players to try and come up with something else than a dark haired human fighter with a scruffy beard who’s in his thirties.
So she came up with this character: a dark haired human rogue with a scruffy beard who’s only 29.
That gives me Spartacus vibes
Why? 😂
Yeah it’s her type. She really likes being a Human Fighter, and just dealing damage, simply because “It’s easier than all the difficult magic stuff.” but then I see her doing raids and mythics in WoW while using all kinds of magic classes, so I’m trying to see if I can lure her out of her comfort zone so she can try and play other kinds of characters instead of the same character with a different skin everytime
thank you!
Huh
I realised you might be right
... that checks out as well. She once played that Gay Dad Simulator-game (can’t remember its name), and she chose to date the Dark Dad
Ahhhh
There it was
Or a Blood Hunter, maybe? Haven’t really looked into the class itself besides the first 7 episodes of Critical Role’s campaign 2 with Mollymauk, but it seems a bit edgy?
I think I might’ve missed that one. I tried to purchase all the character creation options (races, subraces, subclasses, backgrounds, feats, and some spells), so I don’t automatically have all options
She already played a Barbarian once, female even. That was for one session though, where we both were players, and she quickly went back to Male Fighter
Well some of them have been about revenge. Some of them were about just trying new things and trying the adventurer’s life. One of them were a Bounty Hunter looking for a criminal’s head.
And her Rogue is a failed merchant
That loved his business and treats everyone well
Well, maybe? I don’t know, really, we never got far enough in any of those campaigns to really get much into anything. Our DM then had a bit of an alcohol problem and would often cancel D&D nights, or he hadn’t prepared anything for his homebrew world, so he ran us through chapter one of Lost Mine of Phandelver (always just chapter 1). Now that I’m the DM, this is the first time we’ve actually got to play beyond level 1 (at least together and in that group, I’ve played in longer campaigns with others)
I’ll try suggesting some of those for her when we get to finish the current campaign (if she even wants to make a new character, that is)
Well, I do recall that she was saying something about going Assassin in level 3
I've found that blood hunters are great for narrative flair, but hard to keep alive until you start gaining hp on level up
That Con is imperative
Hope y’all are ready for more derps later
Definetely!
Yes
Ranger
I mean. As advertised 😛
Barbarian
I love these so much. They convey so much of the core class
Eldritch BLAST

Blood hunter
For all you edgy lads
there's no emoji for that one
ow wow that looks great
My grave cleric tiefling performing her ritual dance (i hope its okay to post with the blur ?)
When you have a grave cleric doing a ritual dance in that kind of attire, I can only be concerned as to what she’s casting...
very fancy ritual dance 0-0
@wicked yoke
“Animate dead” on bones?
I’ll see myself out
Let’s hope not.
Obviously it’s identify, you guys
Oh, better idea: definitely Alarm
so where do I go to get hired to do the art for monsters for the wizards of the coast?
whoever understands what that image depicts without any context gets a free internet cookie
a dracolich being made and then dying?
no
dang
you get one tip
the villagers back in town are acting weird ever since they found the ruins in the silver mines
for what it's worth the creatures with horns are supposed to be kobolds
which are red in this instance
and the kobolds painted that
the concept of reincarnation?
it's a circle, skull to kobold which then gets stabbed and becomes skull again
not even close
It's it some cursed relic that turns nomal Kobolds into evil Kobolds, and than the evil Kobolds sacrifice each other to the cursed relic?
eeeh you're getting closer
I feel like you need more tips so allow me to do the complete opposite
there's an amulet next to that wall, that's painted on the pedestal of that amulet
My friend drew our D&D characters and I thought i should share it cause its great
Okay, I'm assuming the blue thing is a cursed relic, and that the paper airplanes are supposed to be daggers,
you're right about the daggers but not about the relic
yeah man that's almost as good as my drawings
would it help if I told you that the thing you thought was a relic is actually a type of creature
I was wondering if it was a creature,
In the second illustration the thing up top seems to be giving power to/influencing the Kobolds, the things I need to figure out that will probably help are, why is does the one Kobold have blue eyes, what's with the object directly above the blue creator, and what species is the creature,
would it help if I said that my choice of colors is very relevant here, to the smallest details?
also the black swooshes are supposed to be arrows, just a bit stylized
(the kind that point, not the weapon)
Hmm, do both creatures have a reilc, but only the Kobolds is working?
What I think we should figure out first is what the HECC is the blue dude?
I think it could have something to do with something ghostly or spectral or whatever due to the same blue being in only certain kobolds’ eyes. Could be a type of ritual possession (not unlike the storm queen’s reincarnation from tomb raider if that’s not too obscure for you guys)
Yeah, I feel like the identity of Mr Blue is the most important missing clue,
Or wait- I think I have an idea. Blue-eyed kobolds are living, red-eyed kobolds aren’t (or maybe they’re a lower class?) that’s a little far fetched but it’s an idea
A ghost perhaps? The living essence of one kobold passed into another?
Again, as a sort of ritual possession in place of reincarnation

This is a big fat
we’ve got, fellas
Blue Kobold has no eyes,
A corpse?
I feel like that may just be because of how it was drawn though,
Could signify it’s dead
Magma already established that the line things are arrows,
Well yeah. Again, back to my idea of reincarnation
A dead thing receives new life until it is time to end it’s “turn” and it’s passed on
so Mr Blue shoots arrows at Blue Kobold.
Blue Kobold shoots arrows at Blue eyed Kobold.
Blue Eyed Kobold stabs Kobold.
Kobold Shoots arrows at Mr Blue.
If this turns out to just be Kobold Rock, Paper, Scissors, I'm gonna be upset,
The arrows aren’t weapons, as was already mentioned. They’re indicators of steps taken in whatever this process is
Oh, I read it as weapons, not the kind that point,
Other way around mate
What if it's a Doppelganger?
so Mr Blue goes to Blue Kobold.
Blue Kobold goes to blue eyed Kobold.
Blue Eyed Kobold stabs Kobold.
Kobold goes to Mr Blue.
And the blue-eyed kobold could be a doppelgänger disguised as a kobold
One who is assassinating the populous slowly but surely
@somber kestrel are we close?
Same with the straight blue kobold. Could be an early stage of transformation?
Illustration 2.
Magic relic powers Kobolds and blue eyed Kobold.
Blue eyed Kobold goes to Magic relic with Mr Blue.
Kobolds stab Mr Blue.
If that is so, the steps could be explained as: doppelgänger infiltrates lair, disguises itself, kills off a kobold, and then the doppelgänger (or maybe another one) takes it away to take that kobold’s place.
I think the relic reveals the doppelgänger though. If you look above “Mr. blue” in that second image, you see the relic but the yellow color is gone from it, signifying it’s use, and the blue-eyed kobold’s position above is turned to “Mr. blue’s” position below. And when this is revealed, the kobolds kill the doppelgänger, symbolized by the two normal kobolds surrounding it and brandishing daggers
God I love puzzles
yep sorry I got distracted
you guys are correct, mostly
or better
@ancient wyvern is 100% correct on this one
Yessssssss! This is the most accomplished I’ve felt in forever -w-
but you did miss one very small but important detail for the campaign
Which would be?
might as well just say I guess
A hint would do
Is it the way the artifact works?
yeah
From what I can observe, it seems that the kobolds use this artifact in mass or focused on a suspicious subject (more likely the former due to the lines radiating from the artifact towards all participants) to try to weed out the doppelgängers so they can kill them off
I'll say it because the mechanics are sort of intentionally only hinted at and the trial/error part is going to be an important part of the one-shot
you only get one use of the artifact per day
it reveals the true form of all creatures in a 120ft radius
timer resets at dawn
Ah, as shown by the fact that it’s drained. Makes sense
though it's unlikely that they'll get more than one use out of it
which will be interesting
one of the players is a doppelganger
Oooooh, fun
also
there's quite a few in the village
if they use it in the cave, they'll weed the player out
So the whole oneshot is hunting doppelgängers?
if they get to the village, it'll be a race between the party doppelganger coordinating an ambush and the party gathering people for a scan
well they won't know it's about that until they get there
I can send a pdf of what I've written down so far
Interesting!
That’s some smart design there, my friend. Really some top notch stuff! It’s pretty damn awesome the stuff that people come up with for D&D
It’s gonna be a looooong oneshot
it has to be under 5 hours
but to compensate for it there are only two combat encounters
three if they get the player early
Ooooof ya better at least vaguely hint at the doppelgänger concept mate. Not a lot of people remember what their faces look like
yeah I'm still tweaking that aspect
I was able to get a nice drawing of my continent that I was able to commission through a very underrated artist on twitter and I thought I'd show this off.
https://twitter.com/RKehnMagi
Nice. Well good luck with that concept, man! Hope the campaign goes well!
thanks
Thank ya! It was all based on things I had on graph paper XD
lol I'm glad you guys got a kick out of my amazing illustration skills
May not be the most talented artist, but dude, that puzzle was genius
I agree
but since the conversation stopped I bring my new son
well now I just feel bad
not as bad as him.... he's a dumb dragon born
I have made a character that I love like my own child, but I can't draw. Eventually I'll show y'all my baby
He is so dumb he coudn't use any kind of magic and had to make a deal with a demon
he ain't that smart....
Another warlock! Friend!
it's fun to make puzzles but my main party is so incredibly thick they lived in a town made up entirely of zombies for 24 hours without noticing so I have to keep the puzzles rather watered down
I have higher hopes for these newbies though, there's some seriously sharp people in it
Lmao. I've heard of similar. Doppelgangers and mimics following a party around a ghost town, going to the "blacksmith" to drop off their gear before going to town hall to meet the "mayor"
And then being devoured because the party failed to notice over the course of a day
yeah the town was under an illusion caused by the bells in it, most of the town was illusionary
they didn't figure it out after walking in circles for hours
@somber kestrel I can't blame them if you go to the downton here veracruz you would think the zombies were just weird and depperesed
barely anyone in the town was able to hold anything even vaguely resembling a conversation
the barbarian literally followed an old man for an entire day and night
while it just aimlessly shuffled around
when asked where they could sleep the old man answered graveyard
top notch detectives in this party my dudes
I don't know.... it does sounds like veracruz
Today my boy met a new friend lol
@wicked yoke I remember you wanted to see more of him, and here he is!
ancient black dragon drawn for our campaign! by @burbens on twitter!
@terse pasture he is a small friend. That boy looks so fragile lol. Hope he has a good frontline.
@placid jackal That looks amazing! How could they resist taking notes when they have THAT!
Keeilith, my Water Genasi Monk who wields appearance changing dual whips!
@plucky lily Wow, gorgeous work!
Thank you, but I can’t take credit! It was a commissioned piece by @thorn orbit
That's going in my future commissions bookmarks for sure. ❤
Glad to be of someone’s assistance
She’s definitely my preferred artist lol I already told her she can expect more from me in the future
I love it
@plucky lily finally, another whip user!!
@ancient wyvern thank you! I find dual wielding whips to be so cool!
I have 2 fighters that I play who use whips. One, Julius Kell, uses two whips, and the other, Richter Ford uses a single whip
I also have an NPC I’ve used, Hector Abel the monster hunter, who uses a chain whip Castlevania style
So yeah, long story short, I like whips too
I´ve only ever had two characters, im still pretty new lol. She´s the only one who uses whips
Ah. Well, keep using unorthodox weapons. Those tend to be the most fun and sometimes even the most epic to use. Imagine the difference in how impressive it is to kill a dragon with a sword or an axe compared to how impressive it is to kill one with whips
Yeah, I have an idea for a rogue who prefers to use a spear, and a barbarian who fancies the glaive
Glaives are great fun. I love ‘em. I had the opportunity to buy a historical replica of a medieval glaive but I didn’t have enough money
A babie I’m thinking of using sometime in a campaign
They small and want to be held
thats disturbing and cute at the same time
My cleric and her god 💙 she’s so fun to draw
@solemn bay she certainly has an interesting relationship with her patron 😅
Her god. She’s a cleric. But yes she’s destined to immortality at his side once she’s proved herself amongst the living @ancient wyvern 😈
Well yeah, I just refer to sentient sources of magic power as patrons regardless of origin. But yeah, iiiinterssting relationship but hey, good payoff. And I ain’t here to judge. I played a paladin who reluctantly followed a homebrew pantheon and later became an oath breaker, so, she’s got a much better connection 👌
thank you!
A commission I just finished up yesterday of a Dwarf Battlemaster.
I love the leather armor on the dwarf.
Thanks!
Ref sheet for my grumpy Tabaxi ranger, Ferra. Finally got to play her tonight, I'm loving her so much
She hit a goblin around the head with a crowbar XD
She small. But gunslingers are cool.
day 11 done! not gonna lie this is a quick and simple one because I go ham on dragons and needed a head start, prepare yourselves.
https://twitter.com/MainlyMortal/status/1182803592513650688
That's pretty nice art. Too bad the series has kind of gotten... eh for me.
yah i also am big meh on it but winter is easy to draw thus she was drawn
RIP Adam's character.
Finished this DnD commission today of Malcolm Everett, a divination wizard who uses mathematical probability and the chaos theory to fuel his magic!
Looks super!
Ahem Neeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrd!
Amazing art. You did super well, and it's also a really neat character concept. Wizards do strike me as scientists (much like artificer before artificer).
Wizards strike me a lot as physicists while artificers strike me as mechanics & alchemists
I personally think that wizard is one of the most open ended classes in that respect (as long as they are smart) they can really be anything, and it’s always interesting seeing how people perceive the class.
@proven estuary I love your girl!! So much!!!
my newest child Adeline Gauthier: Fire genasi monk, entertainer background. the world setting is modern-magic and she worked in a circus as an acrobat/ Trapeze artist and i love her
This uh, impromptu party me n my friends formed need support lol
A lizard lord would probably not be the guiding hand they need.
Question:Which class should this gurl be?
she is supposed to be a shifter.... I'm still working on the design......
!!! CATGIRL!!
she gives me warlock/rogue vibes
I am also getting warlock or rogue vibes
Actually I was thinking wolf girl
But I do like the idea of the warlock/rogue
Definitely giving off Rogue Arcane Trickster vibes to me.
What do y'all think of my warlock changeling, Cas? I'm also designing a shattered mirror showing her personas. Shattered because the first session her patron's symbol and gift was smashed and stepped on by a cruel man (because of this I'm thinking of reflavoring her Eldritch Blast from pure silver color to a cracked silver, that sounds like shattering glass)
Shoulders obviously will be cut off in the final product
@terse pasture Thank you!
ANOTHERONEEEEE
his armor is kinda based on the gladiators.... so.... fighter? or barbarian? maybe a paladin..............
I also made him like 4 diferent helmets XD
I've made a bunch of 'modular' lightning rail carriage maps, great for Eberron games
https://imgur.com/a/k0dxmur
They're all 5x13 70px scale for roll20 and should line up nicely
Liz it looks amazing!!!
!!! thanks!
So much great art today!
My cleric in her formal attire for a party with nobles ...
those are some capital horns xD
😮
Oooo formal attire adventurers... more needed...
I did a session where the group got invited to a royal masquerade and one of them had a custom made chainmale dress made for them lol. Another skinned a bear to make a dress from.
very good dress up there tho as always ur tiefling is brilliant
rip any item of clothing with a collar tho
they never stood a chance
Please excuse me if I squee a little. 8MP Wonderdraft world map back from the printers (Tiny Wargames) just now...
That looks really good! What kind of mods/resources did you use? Doesn’t look like it’s all vanilla.
That is simply stunning, what is it printed on?
What do y'all think about making Smoky quartz sunglasses for a character, so it's possible for sunglasses to exist? Or is that too modern?
It’s printed on a medium weight cloth from https://www.tinywargames.co.uk/price-list. I’ll get the asset list when I’m at the iMac, but iirc it’s Lapis’ trees and mountains, Elvanos’ cliffs and Caeora’s map icons (recoloured by me).
Used the WD v1.1 2x export, so it’s a 16K on a side png. 281MB 😃
Oooh, thanks for sharing that site, I've been looking for somewhere to get a new desk cover sorted
Wow! That cloth map is a great idea!
I wonder if anyone here does that
Be warned, the owner is not brilliant at communication, somewhat terse and a little bit disorganised. But he does produce very good stuff cheaper than anybody else
Need to make sure you communicate clearly, and keep tabs on progress in a relatively tactful manner
Essentially, I’ve had no problems, other folks have
your otyher option, and I'm considering it for a smaller map, is that Kall Kwik in the UK will do canvas prints.
I drew a thing and made it do stuff.
Thats super cool
Also, imagine the people in the 2nd location as an eldritch door just appears on your wall and some schmuks walk out
I have seen enough of Stranger Things to know how that ends.
Kek
@thorn orbit Very nice! I love the detailing on the sleeves and shoulders.
Map for the setting I've been working on, made Via wonderdraft, would recommend opening original and zooming in to get a good look at it
Very nice, love the ships and monsters
@lost roost 100% wonderdraft?
100% wonderdraft aye
coffee, patience, time
LOT'S of patience
Wonderdraft has a lot of issues with how good it is
How did you get such a varied palette?
The "sea" automatically changes with whatever style you choose. And you can pick just any colour you want from a colour wheel.
yeah you can change the colours easily enough
and here we got a contentinal map for Li'thoria
Ahhh yes the colour palette, that's how i did it, use the ground brush with some custom colours and you can alter the colour of some assets such as the mountains
the sea colour you can set just using the Map Effects side bar
The Map effects side bar is just soooooo good
Ahh no, the sea colour you need to change by going into water appearance THEN using the side bar
Yeah a lot of customisability.
Aye, it's still not as smooth as it could but even my maps aren't the limit of what it can do
I've seen some insanely good looking maps made with wonderdraft
Yeah its a true art.
I have a map I’m pretty proud of, but it’s very vibrantly colored, so perhaps not everyone’s tastes.
Spent my holiday afternoon finishing up this mini for a session that got cancelled tonight 💔
I’ll pour one out for you.
Had the chance this weekend to finish painting the wyvern mini I sculpted a while back
Wow, you sculpted that as well? Looks awesome!
super cool sculpt!
damnit that face makes me think of jar jar binks xD cool mini though
KOBOLD GIRL!!!
I'm gona try to make her a paladin that uses corsbows and always stays on the back/shoulders of the tank
I love her!
haha i know that feeling xD
I have the most problems with the snout and the eyes tbh xD
I might just have to hire a cartographer and ask them to draw my world map at this rate lmao
the trouble is that i already have a map of a country my party is in
so i'd have to redraw something that i personally didnt draw in addition to a bunch of other stuff
Wonderdraft has the option to import an existing image to trace from
The dice I mentioned
I'll admit that's very pretty
Wowza!
holy heck those are pretty!
Since it's on the marketplace I cant even download them to do justice with a better pic lol
Everyone once again, consumer warning: Beware of dice made from ANY gem or mineral, outside of ornamental use.
Pretty sure it's not made from a gem
Many gems and minerals are A) very fragile B) marked WAY UP by the people making these dice
Yeah just saying in general
It might have some embedded in the center, but it's not made of them
Makes sense tho
Saw an ad on insta for 'Norse foundry' selling dice made of various minerals
gf and her mom are in the gem and mineral business
A) they are selling 7 dice sets from $70-90+ USD
And most of these minerals are probably only worth $15-20 retail
B) some of these minerals are not even real, as they sell them (they are dyed versions of other minerals, or man-made conglomerates)
Yeah. But people also buy $801 pieces of plastic with glitter, so
C) some of them, flourite in specific, WILL break if you roll them on a hard surface
Ya never know what people will fall for
Yeah, I'm not saying not to buy them btw!
Just to be aware of the huge markup, the somewhat misleading naming, and fragility
Ye
If I ever get to the point if I may a set of mineral/gem dice, it will be desk ornamentation b/c id be too worried to break them
Thats why I invest in a horde of metals
Yeah that's perfectly fine
But also keep in mind the pricing
4-5x over retail is nuts for just some etched numbers D:
Oh ya for sure
I am heavy dice goblin tendencies but often times the voice of reason breaks through
Like I would love the get the beer hops set from Artisan Dice but their everything is way to got dang expensive
And be aware of what they're selling - lots of gems and minerals are highly suspect
https://www.norsefoundry.com/collections/gemstone-dice/products/bronzite-orange-imperial-jasper-trustone-7-piece-rpg-dice-set-gemstone-1 for example, this stuff is man-made
Not a natural mineral
And I am guessing manmade is cheap to make?
Not necessarily, but it means it doesn't exist in nature, doesn't come out of the ground that way
In this case, it's a few different minerals combined using some process
Sometimes it's minerals mixed w/ a resin binding agent
Like they're selling some kind of 'jade' dice that are actually some kind or brazillian mineral that's dyed
It's not actually jade
I don't know if they're just unaware, or trying to make a buck off others who are unaware, but this kind of thing is rampant in the gem business
But! Once again - if you LIKE it, and you don't mind paying that price, and you just want it as an ornament, more power to you
Huh, TIL. Thanks for info. I will keep that in mind going forward
I try to stick with the heavier plastics and metals.
For actual use, resin or zinc alloy dice are probably your best bet 🙂
Beware of 'coloured' mineral/gem dice
Most minerals have a specific colour
If there's any other colour to them, it's usually due to impurities
like red = iron, green = copper etc
Ooooo that’s very cool!
Damn. thats awesome
Some interior walls I finished painting last night.
3D printers make it to where I dont have to put much effort into constructing/fabricating and I can just do what I feel I am best at. Painting.
What tiles do you use?
Dragonlock mostly
and any community made variant of Dragonlock
Ill pretty much pick up and use what ever STLs suit my needs. If I am building an elaborate piece, it seems dragonlock has the most support and options.
😮
amazing
(Art by me)
I love it man, more mundane magic item concepts are my jam
bottle effects are noice, good glass work
a bit of parchment or green colour might be coming through at the bottom of the inkwell though? Trying to figure out what would reflect and refract from where, ill pour myself some rum in a bottle with that kinda shape tonight
Thanks!
The parchment was a bit of an afterthought, so I didn't really get around for adjusting for reflections.
One and a half years after they first acquired it, I've finally got round to finishing the hull plan for my players skyship, the Weatherlight
I only wish that I'd known how much pear/avocado energy it'd have before I did the initial designs 😛
there's a deck with another kind of energy going on :P
If you're talking about the social deck, I know, it indeed looks like a cat lying down
that's one way to describe it
Shh 😛
But yeah, my players now properly can explore their ship
Next step; ship invasion!
Social deck, how fitting
shh, all of you
Once I started translating my sketches into 3d, and then into deck plans, it just kinda....happened
What a wonderful place to socialize. I imagine the party must be very close-knit.
I regret everything
(the monkey thing)

omg it's so cute I love that Danii!!!
I love the freckles
Yes agreed! More characters need to have freckles. I can't get enough of it
Thank you so much

ah ok
Freckles are the cutest
^ agreed
Some character art for a friend's party. Inks only for now, time to move on to colors.
Looking awesome! Can't wait to see it in colour. 😍
Dude that looks awesome!!!
Thanks so much!! I appreciate it.
If you have a twitter, shoot it over to me because I definitely want to drop you a follow!
AMZING!!!!
@signal sky It should be viewable in my profile, though I'm not terribly active on Twitter.
Oh no worries at all! Still super cool!
tiger is rad as hell
That minotaur is looking pretty awesome.
I can so picture tiger going all crazy frenzy rage. Face covered in blood and guts and turning around like a little Japanese cat girl going “am I still kawaii???”
He looks based off of that one guy from My Hero Academia.
Ah yeah, reading comprehension.
Ahh yess I love it @toxic axle
so stoked that the new season is finally here
strap in lol, its a ride
npc for my upcoming Halloween one shot ...
She be giving off some slight spook vibes, but she still needs a hug
that doll better either be coming alive or be a voodoo doll
or a mimic
you see the sowing at the top of its head, that's where the mimic's mouth is
Or it could be a gift from a warlock patron, and she uses it to try and drag them into the real world
Aaah sorry to disappoint but no. She’s gonna help the party just a little bit and they’ll find her later on impaled, the thread from her doll used to sow her mouth shut with her own blood used to write “snitches get stitches” on the wall next to her corpse
ah, cute
Yay halloween..?
with that story in mind, I'd have to actually name the NPC "Stitches" in the hope that the party would try to circumvent the inevitable....
Maybe use it as a nickname or something. That could work
But... I don’t want them to circumvent. I want to traumatize them ...
more traumer when they try and fail
They'll try and try, but the outcome is the same. In some instances, they may even cause it
Ah i see what you mean. Yes totally agree. I’ll think about it 😈
@solemn bay please tell me how your players react, I am dying to find out xD
JJ sounds like a fun DM 😄
Character I just finished making — Coin the Mimic — a Bard Bounty Hunter mimic raised by lone forest gnome
Feat. Baby Coin in top right corner
I love it
Finished my Halloween one shot BBEG... 😁
I like it
spooky
tried my hand at making a frost worm cuz the ol 3d printer is down
not bad for a couple hours and some toilet paper rolls
should have cut the teeth shorter and pointed em all more inwards but whatevs
I enjoy to snaggly toothed look
Color version of the character art I posted a couple days ago.
oh wow that's awesome
I wish I was good enough to draw my own art but I have chronic fatigue and my art skills suck...
Lmao same. But that really is incredible @wise stag
@frozen mist Thank you!
That's awesome wish I had half the skill you got @wise stag good job :)
@potent delta I appreciate it, thank you!
It's coming along.
Now that, that is epic
Dam @ruby nimbus that is awesome too how much time you put into it
I'm still working on it. I want to add another array of coils and another arcane device. This has taken many many hours of 3D printing. So all the real effort for me was painting and brain storming how to get the LED effects I want. I didn't keep track of the time it took. It's something I have been slowly working on as this part of the campaign got closer.
It's the base of operations in my game. The big bad has finally figured out where it's located and sent a horde to deal with them.
Wow, that is amazing.
Sweet
Wow... everyone's so good at art here
Started this at 11pm finished it at 5am. Sometimes inktober drawings just eat up 6 hours of your night lol.

Nicely done!
Nice :)
nice
A while ago I posted the sketch to this guy, but here’s the finished commission of Twitchy for someone on amino 👏
Kinda arts and crafts here but this is my first NPC for my new campaign
Just wanted to show you an artwork I did 🙂 https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ahEu2Dc3C/
The dedication in this channel is just off the roof man just wow
That is abolutely epic
It reminds me of adventure time’s Golb from the very end of the series, with all the angular shapes of the beholder and the red skin and it’s weird teeth. It’s some really epic artwork, man
And yes, I do, I’m fact, know it’s supposed to be a big D20
Zera, Cleric of Lethander
reminds me of Jemma Simmons from Agents of SHIELD... with freckles and more wiry hair
Yeah, I see that too
same
Anyone ever seen a creative way to do a diary handout? Like I know people like to do aging and fancy paper stuff for some handouts. Wondering if someone’s done a creative way to make a one or two page “book” for a diary.
I like making old paper with plenty of unfinished drawings around and blood stains (red edible dye)
Taping stuff to it too like feathers, random coins or pieces of fabric...
does it have the same selective and destructive powers as that pistol they carry? xD
Sympathy for the Devil?
Death metal
I can’t say I know much of the module, but maybe look into some powerwolf songs
Sabbaton also got some great songs
Let me know when you're done with that playlist! I'd love to check it out
I’ll have to send this to my brother real quick, he had a very well developed warlock of Cathulu
By the way, anyone happen to be able to give a second opinion on if I got a good size on some giant scorpions?
ye thas cool
Trying to figure out how big these light to be, I don’t have much in the ways of minis, so I’m at a bit of a loss there
City cracking down on a camels back
I enjoy their music casually
Also saw this the other day (speaking of plastic beach)
Also, I wish I had the same sense of what music to use in my games as you Whoopdini, I’m here with a personal rule to have no electric instruments in my soundtracks when I DM
So just full acooustic set?
Well, I use electrical devices of course, but the tracks I have a personal rule of having no electrical instruments in them
Thankfully that still gives you allot of orchestral, including dark souls music
It gives you a lot still yes. Though it can make the search a bit harder
Very much so, I do hope that if I ever break that trend though, that might make that moment all the better
possible because it was and is pretty much connected with hell,the devil,etc.
You could use some alternative stuff also.
rock is awesome
If you guys want a more "Stranger Things" esc. playlist I have the perfect one
red, green, and black dragon heads. might do all the chromatic dragons and even lightly color them
Those are really cool!!!
aw thx ^v^ this is the first time i actually drew the head of a black dragon well and i'm really proud of it
https://twitter.com/JRBrabson/status/1175713067260420106 Did this one about a month ago for a client. Always gotta love some Tortles
https://t.co/BRyI75AYmM Did a new commission for a Tortle! Not gonna lie, making him makes me want to play one in the next campaign! ...
Is that some shape-shifty stuff I see goin’ on?
Yep! 😄 Changeling mid transformation
Sweet
Anyone who's really good at mapmaking want to help me?
...with?
Yeah. Especially when you draw each frame like that, animation gets reaaaaal hard
And then adding details, as well as talking while moving. It's insane how much work it takes. Once I get better as an artist I may try again
my pfp, drawn by a friend, of my dragonborn paladin
He looks very concerned.
Sekeolath: Press [X] To Doubt
hah nice
Animation is something that I’d like to do, but then instantly lose motivation. It does take a lot of time but I’d say it’s worth it
Those are so cool!
My WIP map of my Homebrew world
I'd like to see that whe it's done
IDK what to make in the western half of my world
Oriented toward the top of this picture
I asked my roommate and he said one of the spindly things should be hell. So I made a bunch of volcanoes and a gate to the nine hells
Niiice
@mossy phoenix Is it north or south hemisphere on your world?
@mossy phoenix make the portal inside a volcano
where do you guys get the map templates?
Templates?
Hexagonale paper? You can just look it up and probably find a decent one for printing.
Thanks!
It's not fun trying to look at your maps sideways.
iPhone?
Yep
I know they sometimes mess up the rotation metadata
Pro tip, try using an app like dropbox or google drive; they have a 'scan' feature that will probably better capture your map
It'll crop and align it
Not a bad political map for effing around with paint
Threw together a sketch of my air genasi monk/ rogue post a fun evil campaign I played in this past summer
One of the players in my game is using a cartographer's kit to make a map of the unexplored island they're on so I put together a basemap for him to start working off of. Currently they've only gone from the city, up along the river, and to Alura's Grove.
Everyone else's maps are so beautiful and then mine are shite
To be fair, I used a lot of predrawn images and just pasted them into photoshop with effects.
It's essentially a collage.
One of the main BBEGs in the campaigns I participate in
Looks like they will take pleasure in your suffering
Oh he dooooes. He’s part of a pantheon of “archdevils” as we call them. They have power greater than plain devils but less than our version of a sort of satanic figure. The archdevils can kinda sorta possess people 👌
Nice
Those eyes say she 100% took my wallet and she’s just owning it
Thinking about putting a Cthulhu type character in my campaign. Thought I'd draw this.
That's genious!
Looks cool
My noble chilling out at home, honing his mind as well as his body.
Wow that looks great!
@mossy phoenix rivers converge not split 99 times out of a hundred, with there being an exception at the very end if they're forming a delta
My 366 dice
goddamn
They've been sorted but I'm yet to take pics of the sorted sets
what the heck is that red one on the left
bottom left?
top left
right of the white d6s?
if that one, it's PolyHero Wizard Dragonfire/Brimstone d20 Wizard Hat
there's a lot of weird shaped dice there
yep
of my 41 regular sets, 14 are PolyHero (4 Warrior, 10 Wizard)
And then most of my misc dice are odd shapes
actually quite of a few of my misc dice have 12 sides but aren't 1-12
here's the numbers breakdown. 7 of the d4s are 12-sided for example
Not only non-fandom OCs but possible NPC characters for a 20s Noir campaign I want to do someday :P
Lawrence is a grump
I took a fun little quiz and got half elf druid as my race/class so i decided to draw me as that! Its not done but im still work at it 😄
Finally I can get a my Space Elf Sorceress Mini.
with photon SMGs too boot. ;3
okay nvm i'm not playing as much or more than and entire spoil filament for a 3D printer that used less than .001% of that spoil to make the mini and unpainted. >_< what a rip off.
You might wanna look at Anvl, slightly cheaper but it would probably amount to .002% of said spoil 🙂
heroforge isn't at all bad value. It's a nearly fully customisable and posable (advanced posability now) mini that matches your character nearly exactly for what, $20? When getting a mini that doesn't match is $10.
(And really, you're paying for the use of the software, and time to print ofc)
and aint nothing GOOD coming prepainted
I bought a bunch of pre-painted minis, and I thought: I can paint better!
turns out i couldn't
still only 1 plastic mini for 20+ bucks is no value no matter how you try to justify it. Once all parts have assigned hex ID's and are linked together with a hex code done on the website interface. All you have to do is hit print and let the printer do the rest and wait for it to be done. There's nothing complicated. All parts on the webpage are prefabricated in the program. One mini should cost only $1.50 $2 at the most then add shipping on top of that for for a rough total of 7 to 9 bucks at the most.
Yeah, but you've also got to pay peoples wages to run the machines, QA the prints, failure rates due to 3d printing not being a perfect process, cleanup, site costs and hosting, artists and devs to add the new features that they're constantly adding, a shipping team, shipping materials, printer maintenance, printer materials and cleanup materials
You can buy the .stl file for $8 if you have a printer of your own
Plus I'm pretty sure even the basic plastic prints aren't using the same filament/resolution as a home 3D printer
If you had that big of an operation. Then you shouldn't be making a product that won't equal the value spent to make them in the first place. You need other products to do that for you and the mini's are just something a little extra. These isn't like I phones cost of to make is is only $1.25 per unit and they sell the phones at $700+ per unit.
I don't get your logic; their prices match the value of the product they're producing; completely custom, bespoke miniatures.
I've bought five .stl files from them and getting them printed myself would've actually been more expensive in resources alone than getting them done by HF. It's just the shipping that tipped the scale
And that's not even factoring the time and energy involved in prepping for print, failed prints, cleanup
3d printing isn't easy, it's time consuming and prone to failure
Now I see the value in the .STL if you have your own printer but 20 per mini is still way too much.
That's less than 2 subways, so I disagree tbh. it's a mini you'll buy and use for a whole campaign
And you only need one
If you don't think a completely custom mini is worth $20, fair enough. This isn't really the place to discuss this tbh, so I'm sorry for dragging this into a conversation
no problem
@oblique cargo you still painting em?
I try 😊 takes time!
do you spray primer on them first?
on minis? Absolutely. A few come preprimed like wizkids or bones which they claim doesn't need it. Those be careful with, it can interact weirdly with some primers and go all tacky. Still wash (as in soapy water then clean water) those
Airbrushing on, and brushing on, primer are also options
Y'all. Imagine Matt Mercer or your favorite DM sitting in this https://imgur.com/gallery/uIGOlxH
With carved out nostrils and mouth. Fog machine in the nose and mouth, red lights in the mouth
It would be perfect
I would need to build a whole room in the house then just for DnD
🤔
Around this throne
That is an awesome statue.
Damn thats awesome
This is the way to do DnD
DM now stands for Dragon Master :P
That, with a wyrmwood table, fancy seating for the players. It would be awesome. But the DM would have to have a sliding table in front of them because they can't push their seat back lmao
Now all we need is a ye olde tavern to put them in to create some serious mood
Dude I'd build a room in my house to SPECIFICALLY be themed like that
With a bar with fantasy bottles, and hidden cabinets for minis, dice, and character sheets. Hopefully some day I can afford that 😭
Tavern themed room. Beautiful
Thank you ❤
😉
Looks amazing man!!
Thanks Trakin 🤗
Thats amazing :o
the detail on that is divine
How long did it take you to draw that?
Then the Druids arrived...
after that tiefling i will doing a Genasi
Coolio.
Super dope man! Keep sharing it!
😉 will do
YO. THE DETAIL IS INSANE!
Decided to make a druid reference card template, starting with the wildfire spirit
Looks really cool!!
Thank you
Oooooo
@lean flare epic piece
@hollow sable thank you 🤗
do you take commissions at all? 🤔
A cleric and his ferret commission
Halloween special BBEG before she turns into ...her true form.
Spooky injured ladyyyy
She looks terrified.
Her arm sure is hurt
Most people would be spooked if their arm was bleeding that much 👌
JJs art is always so impressive. They just did some party artwork for my dnd group!! So amazing.
Thanks guys 🤩
Your art really is super consistently impressive, man. Keep up the good work, we all love it a ton
@ancient wyvern ...very humbled. Thanks dudes, your support means a lot 🤙🏼
Always happy to compliment people who deserve it, man.
Scepter of some sort, possibly a key or a dowsing rod.
sword handle
Sunblade.
Slingshot
@copper ravine Got it! Its my attempt at a sunblade
I mean......looks like a pretty epic slingshot as well
Nah, too weak at the center. It would break.
Can anyone draw my character?
half elf, ranger, blue hair, white, male, 6'0", blue eyes
Art commissions usually cost a fair amount if you want something well done. Lots of artists on twitter can be found doing commissions starting at $25 or so for a head shot.
I’ve almost finished my Dragonborn gal’s ref sheet then this came
Ashdyyvf I’m so happy this took me hours and now it’s on canvas
I did a drawing of my friends’ small party that I’m DMing. Made up of a Dragonborn, human, and water genasi
Yo why is no one talking about @strong vector that stuff looks awesome!
@rustic rapids because I am a normal dude and I think the other artists did a great job so give them a hand
I mean yeah, but still
Your stuff is amazing
I’m not saying that everyone else’s things are bad
I just didn’t want your work to go unrecognised
Speaking of...
@old cape that looks really good! Keep up the good work
Speedpainted that cutie during lunchbreak for funsies. Based on @violet furnace ‘s OC that i finished recently 😁 he made the mistake of telling me his girl liked strawberries ...soooooo ...
Adorable little teifling 
^
I can't share the item with art due to homebrew rules, but here's a custom item I made with appropriate art to ask my players to be my groomsparty
Aawwww that's adorable. And sweet. I love it. I hope you all have a wonderful time my friend!
That's awesome. 🙂
Thanks, my fiancee was pushing for me to come up with something to ask them, and seeing as they're all in the same campaign, seemed fitting
Should film their reaction!!!
that is just so cool, congrats!
Ha, I would film but we all play on Discord 😛
Mic record?
Haha, I think they'd know something was up if I started recording 😛
But I'll update on how they reacted
Please!!! Super curious and excited!
Dungeon run inspired?
