In Wake Of DnD 2024 I Remembered About My DnD OCs.

In wake of DnD 2024 I remembered about my DnD OCs.

I watched some videos on new species. I like changes to aasimar a lot (my faves), but I'm sad about drow's immense lore reduction (my second faves). I get why it was done and how it can improve the game, but I also feel like it makes some aspects of it more boring and doesn't help new dms and players with distinguishing all the elves. Mixed feelings on drow, in short. Nothing new, I guess :'D

About characters in the picture: these are Arcuvol (drow lady) and Garxia (tiefling gentleman). They are from an original setting, but general lore of their species here is pretty much the same as in classic 5e: one is a cruel matriarchy serving evil goddess and another consists of lone misfits who are generally not so well liked.

Arcuvol is a bit twisted take on Disney princesses (druid of circle of the shepherd) and Garxia is an assassin rogue who weirdly hasn't assassinated anyone. Yet. He was a warlock using his powers to protect some tiefling kids before his patron died, and now they are on their own again. They are managing, though. Arcuvol and her younger brother are helping a lot.

These guys are kinda secluded from outside world, vibing in some mountains and really hoping that a bunch if adventures won't come and disturb their peaceful life.

(The adventures would come. And these two will become antagonists for plot reasons. But yeah. On their own they are pretty chill. They bring me so much joy. You can't imagine.)

Another messy sketch under the cut

Oh, and here is Arcuvol's brother, Kullintel. I must warn you, both picture and design are pretty old by now :'D

The cipher on the right translates to "these swords still carry the warmth of your hands"

This picture was meant to be about touch starvation and trying to get softness where you can, even from things which harm you. To give your own meaning to things in order to feel just a little bit more loved, even if it doesn't make any sense in actuality. I don't feel like I did the idea justice. But whatever.

This is Quartz Crumbs of Wyrm's Teeth, my Abyssal Exalted OC, whom you might've seen in my previous posts. Of course I gave tragic backstory even to my aggressive and idiotic bastard (/affectionate). No character is safe from my desire to cry 😎

A bit of process and additional picture under the cut:

Process. I really like the lineart, especially my attempt at making Quartz's hands kinda relaxed and gentle in this piece. Nothing shows what I wanted to show better then gentleness to something that's killing you.

And additional picture. I don't know whose hand that is, by the way. I don't have an OC who would get this close to Quartz to show affection to him yet. I don't know if I ever will. I'm making myself sad thinking about it, mission accomplished, yay :'D

Goddess of death in one of my original settings

The cipher cannot be solved in English, sorry

Meme redraw with my satyr gorl, Zlata

I've been OBSESSED with my idea of ​​an unseelie swan maiden pirate for the last few days, and now through this VERY quick sketch I can introduce to you Cordelia (She is ready to add a few hearts to her treasury🏴‍☠)

THAT'S BEAUTIFUL

I adore the message of this poem and I'm honoured that you were inspired by my art 🥺💕
