fancy outfits for a party we attended a few sessions ago. the unofficial dress code was “slightly slutty” 💃 #dnd #dndparty #dndart #dndcharacter

Alana! 🎨@darlingicarus.bsky.social · 12mo ago

our fighter spent most of last combat Hasted and very kindly used her one million feet of movement to manoeuvre Elodie around the battlefield. (sadly Elodie was not thrilled about Kol’s methods) #dnd #dndart #dndcharacter #sketch

My piece for @singomusezine.bsky.social Vol. 2, featuring Phlegethon, god of the river of fire ❤️‍🔥 Such a delight to be part of this incredible zine! #mythology #mythart #greekmythology

A digital illustration depicting Phlegethon, god of the river of fire in the Underworld. Phlegethon is a muscular male figure with pitch black skin covered in patches of jagged obsidian, surrounded by molten, glowing cracks as if he's burning from the inside. Phlegethon's face is largely indiscernible except for his eyes, which burn like two embers. He wears only a tattered loincloth and carries a flaming spear in one hand. Phlegethon is stepping down into a lava lake via stairs carved into a stone outcropping. In the foreground, several glowing souls are submerged up to their necks in the lava. They reach for Phlegethon with pleading, pained expressions. In the background, lava pours into the lake via two waterfalls on either side of the image. Towering above them is the spectral outline of an austere, pillared building, with huge ghostly chains hanging from the outermost pillars. Flames lick up from the building's foundations, throwing embers across the dark background. Two other rivers can be seen coursing down distant mountains. The sky is red and glowing, with the silhouettes of three winged women far off in the distance.

“But the moment she cut the lilies the cottage disappeared, and the twelve brothers were changed into twelve ravens that flew away over the trees with a dismal cry and vanished. The poor girl was left standing in the little forest clearing all on her own.” From the Grimm tale “The Twelve Brothers“

Based on the fairytale of the 12 brothers by the brothers Grimm.
A flat colour illustration of a girl, in medieval peasant green dress, holding a Lilly. She has long golden braids and a star on her forehead. She looks dismayed, realising that the lily flowers she picked up caused her 12 brothers to turn into ravens. They are shown flying in an arc behind her.
12 Lillie’s, their stems cut, are shown growing from 12 golden coffins at the bottom of the page. The scene is framed with a medieval style golden ornament. Behind the girl a scene of woods and a cottage are faintly painted inside a round frame.

superman AU with sorrel & imbris because i’m incapable of watching anything without thinking about OCs 😭💙 (sorrel belongs to a friend!) #ocart #art #superman #originalcharacters

A digital illustration of two original characters in a Superman AU. The scene depicts Sorrel holding Imbris bridal style, hovering in a blue sky full of fluffy white clouds. Sorrel is a young man with fair, tanned skin and short blond hair. He is dressed in the conventional Superman outfit, consisting of a full-length blue bodysuit and red cape, with a red and yellow symbol in the shape of an S emblazoned on his chest. He is smiling fondly at Imbris, as if the whole point of this airborne jaunt was to see his reaction. In his arms, Imbris is smiling and looking around in awe. Imbris is a young man with pale skin and unruly white hair, though darker roots are visible at his hairline. He wears a white t-shirt, dark blue jacket and ripped jeans. He has one arm around Sorrel's shoulders and the other hand pressed to Sorrel's chest. The scene has hints of half-tone shading to mimic a comic book style.

last session my bard Elodie rolled a Nat 20 Investigation check looking for old contacts and ran right into her ex 💀🔥 #dnd #dndart #genasi #art #ocart

an outfit sheet comm of a friend’s wonderful Dragon Age DnD character #dnd #dragonage #art #characterdesign

An outfit sheet depicting three outfits for Minah, a human rogue from the Dragon Age setting. Minah is a woman in her 20s with short brown hair, tanned skin and hazel eyes. In the first outfit she is dressed in many layers of colourful skirts, a heavily embroidered cropped red jacket, and sturdy, well-worn ankle boots. The second outfit shows Minah in her Grey Warden uniform: brown leather armour and the typical blue Warden jacket, with an impressive array of belts buckled around her waist, holding assorted pouches and vials. She wears a blue cloak and a bow is slung over her shoulder. The final outfit shows Minah's thief outfit: black pants and shirt, with a black leather hood and mask that conceal her face. A grappling hook hangs from her belt and she holds a sack in one hand.

oh to hold court on the sea floor, surrounded by the detritus of civilisations long-gone… 🏺 #mermaid #tarot #art #illustration

A digital tarot illustration of a mermaid seated in an underwater cave, with the text "II. The High Priestess" overlaying the image. The mermaid has brown skin and dark brown hair flowing freely in the current. Her tail resembles that of a lionfish, with many narrow fins flaring off from her striped red and white tail. More fins fan out from her head, almost like a crown of feathers. The mermaid reclines on a throne-like boulder, one hand resting gently on the arm of the throne and the other held out to catch the moonlight. She looks directly at the viewer with completely white eyes, a stern expression on her face. On either side of the mermaid's throne are two Grecian pillars, one of which is cracked in half. A rusty Greek sword, shield and amphora are visible in the foreground, half-buried in the sand. The underwater cave is full of seaweed, coral, and several fish. Moonlight streams into the cave through a large hole in the back wall, bathing the mermaid and her surroundings in a blue glow. The dark open ocean can be viewed through the hole in the wall.

mood of the week ⚓️ #mermaid #art #tarot #illustration

A digital tarot illustration depicting a mermaid chained to the sea floor, with the text "XII. The Hanged Man" overlaying the image. The mermaid has dull grey skin, a dull blue tail and long black hair that trails upwards towards the water's surface. In the middle of her forehead is a protruding tendril with a glowing orb at the end, similar to that of an angler fish. Her tail is covered in barnacles. She is curled into a fetal position with her arms folded over her stomach, a posture that reads as both defensive and frustrated when combined with her flat expression. A chain is tied around her tail and disappears into the darkness at the bottom of the page. Large rock faces rise out of the gloom on either side of the mermaid, framing her in pillars of stone. A decaying ship's mast can be seen on one side of the illustration, and a fragment of a ship's hull on the other. Coral and seaweed litter the environment, as well as several fish. One is an eerie-looking shark with its teeth bared. Another fish has fangs and a glowing white eye. There are three skeletal fish surrounding the mermaid as well, still swimming as if they were alive. The entire illustration is dim and gloomy, painted in shades of murky teal.

Because I drew snake-themed art as an Earth Snake baby FOR Snake Year, I wanted to draw some Pisces art as well, since it’s my other astrology sign! Missed the cutoff date by a day, but I’m honestly just glad to have finished this, lol. #mermaid #mermaidart

if you asked Elodie what she wishes she had done differently she’d say “everything” and start crying 👍 #dnd #dndart #dndcharacter #art

A digital illustration depicting Elodie sitting despondently against a floor-to-ceiling mirror in a dimly-lit dance studio. Elodie is a blue-skinned tiefling woman with long curly black hair that falls unkempt to her waist. She is dressed in a striped blue tutu and dark blue ballet shoes. One of the shoes has been removed, revealing a bruised foot with several blisters covered by plasters. Elodie leans with her head tipped back against the mirror, her expression somber and eyeliner running down her cheeks. She holds a cigarette in one hand, propped up on her knee. Elodie is surrounded by candles and sheet music scattered across the studio floor. In the mirror behind Elodie, a different scene is revealed. Through an open doorway lies grassy hills and a glimpse of the ocean beneath a bright blue sky. Greenery from the scene spills through the doorway out into the reflection of the dark studio, with grass and flowers standing out starkly amidst the rest of the scene. To the right of the reflected doorway stands another mirror. Within this mirror the hazy silhouettes of four children can be seen. The first silhouette appears to be a young Elodie mid-run, followed by a taller human girl and two tiny halfling children. They are all facing the brightly-lit doorway and the scene beyond.

DAICHI ♚ God of Defenders, the Feywild & the First Light of Dawn Design for my friend’s cleric/paladin, who temporarily became a god at the end of the campaign ☀️ #dnd #dndart #dndcharacter #art

A digital illustration of Daichi, a D&D cleric/paladin in his deity form. Daichi appears as a young earth genasi/drow man in his 20s with dark brown skin and black locs that fade to gold at the tips, gathered into a ponytail over one shoulder. His skin is shot through with veins in the style of kintsugi pottery, as if his skin were cracked and mended with gold. His eyes burn gold as well, and three additional pairs of spectral eyes hover around his head. Daichi is smiling faintly. He has a pair of spectral wings, and there is a radiant halo of light behind his head, emanating rays like the sun. He is dressed in mauve robes that cross over his body and are secured with a wide cloth belt at his waist, in the style of Korean hanbok. A long embroidered cape hangs over one shoulder. Daichi holds a flaming spear in one hand, and a battered golden shield rests against a nearby tree trunk. The scene behind him depicts a field of golden wheat fading into distant purple hills, over which a brilliant sunrise paints the sky in shades of yellow, orange and purple. Fireflies dance around the scene.
