Updated base for my absolute best DnD boy, Tarvish! Chaotic Good High Elf/Drow Bard 6, Paladin 3 He's going through a lot right now... currently on trial for knocking up a princess, trying to woo his enemy's royal guard captain, and actively being tormented by a hag coven. Fun times!

A unicorn I drew earlier this year for a short story I'll probably never publish. Still love this image though... bedroom eyes and all.
Howdy! I'm Whiskey; artist, writer, wrangler. ❤️💜💙 My main focuses are #DnD character design and gamedev illustration for visual novels. I'm pretty quiet on bsky, but I'm making an effort to post more. #PortfolioDay feels like a good opportunity to put myself back out there.
⛓️💥 Want to b̶u̶l̶l̶y̶ help out a charming-if-pathetic rogue? Good news! "A Chance Encounter" is out ✨now✨ as part of #O2A2, and I'm very grateful to have lent my face-noises to the elf himself—Chance! Many thanks to the @fiendishfiction.bsky.social crew for having me! 🧡 fiendishfiction.itch.io/chance 🗝️

The strongest argument I have that the universe is fundamentally unfair is that Sir Terry Pratchett is gone and JK Rowling is still running her fucking mouth :(
like buying a fleshlight and instead of using it you press a button that fills it with other peoples cum
Recently commissioned to paint @whiskeyworks.bsky.social's Tarvish! I knew from one glance that I was going to have a great time; some character designs don't speak to to you so much as holler. XD
Yes, if you use generative ai in any creative field, I am actually better than you. There’s no debate
Game studio announcements be like, “We laid off all your favourite devs! But don’t worry, all the people actually responsible for the horrible decision-making that led to this massive failure are staying on :) and they will still be driving their new Porsches :) all is well!!!!!”
Aasimar Oathbreaker Paladin Ezra Von Ehre -- the epitome of speak softly and carry a big stick. #DnD
Another old DnD boy... Ofier Ossiri, Tiefling sorcerer. Ofier saw a lot of great play before the campaign died down, and he remains one of my favourites. Yes, he does bachelorette parties.
I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.
five pennies in a trenchcoat@snickettes.bsky.social · 2y agoOh please please i am begging, don't use generative AI for any reason if you can avoid it. It's being marketed as a quick time-saver, but it's messy, inaccurate, it is putting entire industries of people out of work, and the environmental impacts (energy and water usage) are huge and debilitating.
Save a horse, ride a... centaur? "Buck Francis, better known as 'Gun-Amok' Buck! Best rifle shot in the west... an' no, ma'am, I ain't blonde... I'm strawberry roan!" Another oldie but goodie. I'd love to revive him, either in a new pathfinder or dnd game someday. He was a ton of fun!
Let's kick up the dust and raise some Cain! Dusty McCain is an unused harengon artificer for a DND campaign that never got off the ground. Shame, as I love his character design and think he'd be a lot of fun to play. Maybe someday! #dndart
If you see this, QRP a character with long hair. I have plenty of characters with long hair, but it's hard to beat Tarvish's long flowing locks! #dnd #drow #bard

Rough start to 2025--at this point I'm just trying to keep my head above water. Here's an older, storyboard-style illustration of my dnd boy Fualkes and his now-husband, Diirn. The world might be falling apart--and so might I, but reminiscing on good things still brings joy.
Throwback to The Strahd Squad's final march on Ravenloft. Eat the rich, don't let the rich eat you. (Lookin' at you, @strahdvonz.bsky.social...)
More Occult Mingle art! We're hoping to push this visual novel/dating sim by mid-2025, so keep your eyes open. Oh yeah, and thanks for bearing with me as I adjust to this new platform. Cheers! #gamedev
Been pushing myself to get back into traditional art so here're some copic marker cryptids from late last year. I'm hoping to do a few more illustrations over the next month or so before focusing my attention back on visual novels and gamedev. Thanks for sticking with me as I adjust to bluesky!
As I push to engage more on bsky I'll be perusing/posting a backlog of art, starting with the character design lineup for my indie studio's upcoming supernatural dating sim (hopefully launching later this year), Occult Mingle. Enjoy!
Companion art to a flash I wrote about my totally straight DnD boy Faulkes, and his complicated relationship with (and feelings for) his long-lost best friend. I can't publish the story publicly just yet, so in the meantime please enjoy the pining of a lonely pirate--*ahem*--privateer.
