Months ago, a friend commissioned me this piece and I realized there was no better time to post it! Have you seen the new movie yet? I hope you like my take on Rebecca!🌹 #residentevil #rebeccachambers #r6 #raccooncity #rainbowsixsiege

Time has finally come to officially introduce my new OC, Vardamir!🌹 I’ve been roleplaying him for a few months now, I absolutely love him. I really needed to write a "bad boy". Might also have been heavily influenced by my taste in men in dark romances.🫣 #oc #dnd #dndoc #maskedmen #werewolf

I wanted to portray my OC Alistair when he was younger, back in his mercenary days, capturing how different his eyes looked then and how the light in them had gone out. #oc #dnd #dndoc #knight #fantasy #medieval #darkfantasy

Finally my last attack of this year on AF! Actually, it was a revenge, @/_azuzad0ra surprised me with an amazing art featuring one of her OCs and Alistair and I literally screamed, I was so damn happy!🌹 #oc #artfight #artfight2026 #soviet #digitalart

Won’t be sharing the full version here since it was a bday gift for a friend 🤭 But I’m back to my shenans and will be doing smutember/kinktober combo this year. (I know I didn’t finish last year 💀 so I’m giving myself more time 🙂‍↕️) @diamondwildwolf.bsky.social

My second-to-last Art Fight attack on @/johnmagic. We managed to roleplay an encounter, albeit a brief one, between him and my jailer OC, Vardamir, so we had a professional rage-baiter with someone who is absolutely unhinged and sick.🌹 #oc #artfight #artfight2026 #dnd #fantasy

Just testing the waters a bit by posting something slightly more NSFW for the first time... do you think Instagram would destroy me if I posted it there too?👀 Anyway, I love turning my paladin into a slut. #oc #dnd #ocdnd #knight #fantasy #medievalfantasy

One of my last AF attacks I did before leaving for my trip. As I already told @peachyfex.bsky.social, I love the design of her OC Monique (he's a werefox🤭) and I've been meaning to draw him for a while, so I took advantage of the opportunity🌹 #artfight2026 #oc #dnd #artfight #fantasy

crop and longer lore breakdown for those interested in Kauno💙

zoomed version of the image quoted. bottom half of the piece is out of scene, leaving diving terns and water out.

Now, bear in mind that I’m struggling to put into the words many of the concepts discussed here. So sorry in advance if some parts feel nonsensical...! And as a disclaimer: my knowledge is mainly acquired as an interest and hobby – it does not hold water as actual, completely accurate information of a historical period. It’s my interpretation, my fantasy of sorts.

First things first, song inspiration: Vilma Jää – Manalan mailla (if you know Finnish and like to read these, you might see the connection lol)

Kauno’s story in nutshell: Kauno is a nobleman knight, who suffered a mortal wound to his neck when he was pinned in combat and stabbed between his armour plates. By all logic he should’ve succumbed to such a wound, but he was rescued and nursed back to health. The nuns who took care of him did not have high hopes for the feverish nobleman to make it through, and yet eventually he woke up in perfect health and spirit. Kauno remembers little of the time from sickbed but has clear memory of vivid dreams of birds…

Visually Kauno’s pose is heavy nod towards Botticelli’s painting ‘Birth of Venus’. I’ve always associated this piece with rebirth and beauty, both which are at the heart of Kauno’s character. His name quite literally means ‘beauty’ and rest we’ll get to…!

So now, the most complex part is to acknowledge the co-existence of Christianity and folk religion in Finland during Middle ages. While it’s hard to point out how folk religion exactly died (I’m not read enough on the topic), there are still letters to be found from church officials pointing out that some of the folk religion or the traditions persisted even till late medieval period and to renaissance. This period of time where beliefs melded and changed is something I’m extremely interested to depict.

Now, religion facts: There are quite a few nods towards Christianity here, the number seven motif with the birds, rebirth etc. However, the story revolves even further to folk religion’s concept of lintukoto (birds’ home). It was believed to be a physical place just outside the edge of the world, where birds went during winter. Everything was small in lintukoto to accommodate birds and sometimes souls could wander there. Notable is that lintukoto is _not_ heaven/afterlife in folk religion, but rather it seems one might get lost there by accident?

Terns: I thought terns are great way of marrying both religious imageries together. They dive almost completely into the water and rise anew, signifying Kauno’s almost rebirth-like experience. There also rather many hymns describing angels and dead loved ones visiting earth as birds! And lastly, they are also bird that are more typically seen in southern Finland, as a reference towards lintukoto being to the south of the world’s edge.

Armour: Yep, that’s Kauno himself! Kauno is showing his neck, which has only the scar left from the combat, but he’s also gripping at the sinking armour at the same spot.

Fun fact: Kauno is literally shorter and slimmer ('smaller') than my other knights as a nod to lintukoto! So, is he an angel, rebirthed man, or just very lucky guy? Who can say for sure, but all these motifs are part of him.

Knight and a Second chance [ #oc | #art | #knight ]

digital painting of knight oc Kauno. He's standing naked knee deep in water and covering himself with his hand crossed over his chest. The hand played with some of his long locks and reveals a healed scar in his neck. At his feet sinking into the water is a late medieval armour, slumping over him with dead weight. Kauno has places his right hand to hold the armor at the same spot (neck) he has his scar. All around them are seven common terns flying and diving into the water, splashing the otherwise calm water.

Ah, Reno and Alistair—an incredible duo. And let’s be honest: what’s better than a twink and a redhead? Reno belongs to @adelwin_art on IG; he’s the little guy Alistair "adopted" before our adventure in Barovia.🌹 — #dnd #dndoc #curseofstrahd #oc #fantasy

My second Art Fight attack on the incredible Starling_The_Wise. When I read "punk-rock outfit" and "guitar," I just had to get to work. There are his brothers Shahariel and John Magic as stickers on the guitar! #oc #dnd #artfight2026 #artfight #dndoc

DiamondWildWolf @diamondwildwolf.bsky.social · 3mo ago

My very first attack on Art Fight! Cladence (by Shahariel on AF) and Alistair at the masquerade ball (I have a vers w masks xD) during one of our sessions in our Curse of Strahd campaign. #dnd #oc #artfight2026 #knight #fantasy

Cladence first time at an event like this, her first time wearing a long dress and not armor. In a party of just men, she was starting to panic and felt embarrassed. So Alistair came to help her, styling her hair in the morning and helping her in her heels during the night. He's a true gentleman.🌹

Hi! This is my first year joining and I actually managed to upload just two of my OCs - the realization that I should draw them more instead of making them exist only in my head is hitting hard. Drop your usernames in the comments!🌹 #dnd #artfight #oc #fantasy #teammystery

A gift to myself #knight

Digital art of a big, burly knight, only wearing his hose and helm, decorated with torse and mantling, his skin glistening with a bit of sweat. He's holding his hand up to his hairy breast while staring at the viewer with a sultry look.

A cute piece to release on the summer solstice and during Pride Month! Remember love is love and nothing else matters.🌈✨ I'm so happy to have found a roleplaying partner so like-minded that I could marry a character like Alistair to hers! #oc #ocsn #dnd #mlm #lgbtq #paladin #warlock #wedding

Part 3 in my king/knight series, this one titled "Ministrations" 😁 👑❤️⚔️

The partially disrobed king kneels before his knight; he is helping remove the knight’s armor, with his head resting against the knight’s thigh as he carefully unbuckles the leg armor. His hair is loose and tousled and he is smiling. The image is cropped at the knight’s waist, but we can see that the knight is shirtless and that most of his armor had already been removed. The knight and reaches a hand down through the top of the king’s crown to run his hands through the king’s hair while simultaneously beginning to slide the crown from the king’s lowered head.

Second attempt at photobashing, then I drew on it! I needed to visualize the tattoos on my new OC's back. His name is Vardamir. For reasons, he was held prisoner for years and infected by a werewolf. He broke his oath the moment Belial melted his chains. #Warlock #D&D #DnD #OC #DungeonsAndDragons
