I've Noticed I'm Not Great At Describing NPC Appearances, So I'm Going To Start Making Up For It With

A digital drawing of Rictavio, the Curse of Strahd NPC. He is a half elf, with pale skin and blond and red hair, wearing a blue jacket and puffy white shirt. He is holding a guitar, though the body is cut off by the canvas. It is night, and he is lit by a campfire, also off canvas.

I've noticed I'm not great at describing NPC appearances, so I'm going to start making up for it with art, here's Rictavio, the... bard... and babysitter for three random children the party dumped on him.

ayo why did you whitewash ezmeralda ?

Hi!

I see where you're coming from, she is a little pale.

Aside from her coat, bracers, and hair, the base colors were all taken directly from art used in the Curse of Strahd module, which I grabbed from Ez's Fandom Wiki page. The changes I did make were to darken the hair, and make the jacket redder.

Her having slightly lighter skin was entirely unintentional. If/when I draw her again, I may fiddle with the skin tone a bit more, to make sure it doesn't look like I whitewashed her. For now, unless my CoS players ask me to change it, I'm not going to worry about it.

spider chatter whitewashing is a valid concern and its why I usually spend more time on the skin than any other part of the piece in this case that meant an hour and a half of flipping between the reference and my version until everything looked right

A digitally drawn, full body portrait of Godfrey, from Curse of Strahd. He is wearing silver armor, with a tattered, dull purple cape. His eyes are red and sunken into his face, and the tip of his nose is missing.

I'm still making art for my Curse of Strahd party, so here's Godfrey Gwilym Belmont! He's not the party's fated ally, but they've been staying in Argynvostholt, and making as many friends as possible.

One of the players mentioned that he could make miniatures out of any full body pieces I make, hence the relatively simple pose and lack of background for this one. I'm just hoping I don't have to draw Rictavio again.

A rough sketch of a bouquet of flowers, drawn in dark grey on a light grey background. Most of the sketch is messy and somewhat translucent, though the four roses are slightly more refined.

An attempt to deal with art block.

I need a little guy to use as a chew toy, to bury in the dirt to destroy emotionally and physically then bring him back and fill with bugs and mold and fungi and rot

I'm not sure how many more times I could get away with drawing the Devil even though I've only done it twice so far

maybe I'm just tired but I really need to make an OC or something that I'm content just drawing over and over again because it turns out I somehow am lacking in the inspiration department

A digitally drawn beetle, with its wings open. The main body of the beetle is bright green and shiny, and legs are a dull blue. The wings are colorful, with red, blue, purple, and yellow hues. The line art is intentionally shaky and unclean, with some cross hatching.
