you KNOW when I saw this template I had to do it

#dnd #dungeons and dragons #character art #genasi #water genasi #art meme #romance #also you KNOW I wanna do more of my little guys but obviously I had to start with my best girl 💕#really hard to narrow both red and green flags down to just three #green flags: loves kids and animals; good listener; patient #red flags: has killed #weirdly I also wasn't sure about the romancing difficulty... is it actually hard or is she just a really slow burn... 🤔#ALSO fwiw because it feels a little silly to checkmark almost every love language: quality time and touch are the biggest ones #gifts and acts of service are only good specifically when they make her feel really listened to and understood #and are also both much easier for her to navigate doing for others than figuring out what touch is okay in what contexts :')#anyway. [will smith gesture] who is going to smooch my darling girl!! it's what she deserves!!!#my OCs #elyss #darkwind regiment #dungeons and doodles

For the d&d ask memes: 4, 13, 15!!

4. Your current campaignOh boy WELL I’m in several right now haha, so I’m gonna talk about the first/ longest running one :) It’s a homebrew, informally titled The Darkwind Regiment, after the party. In our first arc we had to deal with a lot of doppelgangers under the control of a beholder, who was planning to move his shadowy underground control of the country into an overt above-ground control of the country (and may have been trying to become a literal god?). He tried twisting an interpretation of a prophecy into meaning we would be his pawns in this and ended up SUPER dead for his efforts. Right now we’re fresh off a time skip and irl hiatus, but we built a keep and may be setting sail to explore other countries in the future :D

13. Introduce your current partyThis is Elyss’s campaign!! :D She’s a genasi ranger-- bad at people, loves being with her friends and working with her hands, and very very good at killing. For the rest of the founding party members we have Jermaine the half-elf sorcerer, who is a salty lil shit most of the time (I say with a huge amount of love); Taldian the half-elf paladin, who is a kind and just Bona Fide Good Boy and our unofficial de facto leader; and Khemed, the human bard, who is a bard-typical disaster but he means well. We also have Belial, the tiefling cleric, who left for a bit and came back and is a Highkey Disaster because he has 100% curiosity and 0% goddamn sense; and since our fighter retired to go back to blacksmithing his player just introduced Ahmokhet the human monk, who I don’t know very much about yet, although he seems pretty cool so far!

15. Do you have snacks during game times?Yes!!! I MEAN most of the time I’m playing online, but I always like to have a drink and a snack at my desk, haha. Most recently chocolate covered almonds or cheez its. When we do play in person, chips n dip, gummy worms, and oreos are the standard plus whatever else anyone brought that weekend

#ask thing #thanks!!! :D #playing in person is also almost exclusively A Whole Thing #we'll go to jill and stephen's for the whole weekend and just play a bunch of one shots instead of sleeping #when it's an actual campaign session in person that's a REALLY big deal cause all of our campaigns have someone living out of state lol #...... I'm in so many campaigns right now #ALL of my friends wanted to try DMing and I-- a known DnD gremlin-- can never turn down a new game #about me #ragsy

The first portrait I ever did of Elyss came up on my memories yesterday, so I thought it'd be fun to redraw it-- eight years later!! I've never reshared this one before because I tweaked her design almost immediately after drawing it, so it doesn't really look like her to me anymore, but I do think it's interesting to see which design concepts have been a part of her appearance since the beginning :) Additional sketch and some design commentary can be found here!

#dnd #dungeons and dragons #character art #illustration #genasi #water genasi #ranger #in other news god I WISH I had the desire to do redraws/ dtiys challenges more often #it's SO much easier to do a drawing when someone else has already done all the thinking (including your own past self) lmao #also please go look at the other sketch in the link I actually like it better than the finished portrait lol #anyway 😌 Her 😌💕#my OCs #elyss #darkwind regiment #dungeons and doodles

couple lil mistletoe doodles between working on card art: our cleric Belial with his twin sister Lithia, and our fighter Tobias with Lithia's little girl, Hope 💕

#mistletoe #dnd #dungeons and dragons #character art #illustration #tiefling #I love them your honor... 🥺💕#I actually wanted to do both of these last year (the one with tobias maybe even farther back?) but didn't get a chance to #every time I've done self indulgent affectionate doodles for this campaign (canon or not) it happens to have been when belial wasn't here #so I just have wanted to draw him getting some love and being visibly happy for once #and tobias took up adventuring to protect hope and now that she and lithia are safe has settled down with them #and I just!! have a lot of feelings about it!!! 🥺💕#Belial #Tobias #Lithia #Hope #Darkwind Regiment #dungeons and doodles

a very long overdue portrait of our very cool aasimar monk/ barbarian, Ahmokhet :D

#dnd #dungeons and dragons #character art #illustration #monk #barbarian #aasimar #dnd 5e #he's the newest party member in Elyss' campaign! although new is pretty relative at this point haha #LOOK at this beautiful man I love his design so MUCH #my friend gave me some freedom with his accessories and a lot of this IS just canon stuff he has #but I had fun designing all this jewelry and leaning into his extremely tasty black and gold color scheme with MORE GOLD #I don't know that I'm GREAT at coloring gold but I am certainly not bad at it and more importantly it's just really fun to do #HE ALSO HAS COOL HAIR (which I admittedly cheated the length of the rattail so it would be visible at this angle but still)#Ahmokhet #Darkwind Regiment

De-stress sketch I ended up coloring 💕

#dnd #dungeons and dragons #character art #illustration #genasi #water genasi #my two main self-soothing drawing types are Elyss With Hot Beverage and Elyss In Some Water #drawing her hair down and coloring her skin and not having to worry about clothes are all just really nice things to work on for me 😌#plus the common factor between both those topics which is Elyss Gets To Be Happy #emotional support art for my emotional support OC #anyway this turned out really lovely and I love her #my OCs #Elyss #darkwind regiment #dungeons and doodles

OC-tober: Favorite

As much as others have crept up, and may take more of my attention sometimes, Elyss is still My Girl 💕

#dnd #dungeons and dragons #character art #illustration #genasi #water genasi #bweirdoctober #combined with the 'cozy' prompt from a different list for the time honored tradition of drawing Elyss looking content with a hot beverage #it's masala chai which is HER favorite 😌#obviously this is a Day One october art challenge prompt but I didn't number it because I'm trying not to put any pressure on myself #I may or may not do any more of them and that's Fine #I'm trying to gently maneuver around my own adhd like it's a skittish horse fgkhkdgf #anyway Fucking Look At Her I love her so MUCH #my OCs #elyss #darkwind regiment

thinkin about pre-campaign Elyss and the early days with the Darkwind Regiment 😌

#dnd #dungeons and dragons #character art #illustration #genasi #water genasi #half elf #sorcerer #bard #paladin #I dunno how quickly khemed and taldian adjusted to elyss #but since they were the first members of the party and jermaine was the last I figured I could have him the only one Nervous regardless lol #elyss is weird and offputting NOW that she's comfortable with these people and has literally any social skills at all #she joined the regiment out of necessity FRESH off a twelve year run of living completely alone in the woods #so you can imagine #very few people in our home continent have ever even heard of genasi so there's also [gestures at all of her] you know #anyway this whole thing filled me with joy and love for my girl and her friends #(including those not pictured cause I ended up going back through aaaall my art for this campaign)#I know for a fact Jermaine was intimidated by her at first cause Justin and I have talked about it and now that's her best friend 🥺💕#I love them....#jermaine #khemed #taldian #my OCs #elyss #darkwind regiment #dungeons and doodles

In which the party sails to a new land, where tieflings are totally unheard of, and genasi... well, we weren’t sure about genasi. Luckily Belial has Mask of Many Faces, but the disguise he suggests isn’t what Elyss was expecting

#dnd #dungeons and dragons #tiefling #genasi #water genasi #this is page one of three because this rp was really nice :3 #elyss is used to being completely unheard of and was really just worried about belial she didn't expect the uno reverse on this sentiment #not that tieflings are accustomed to a WARM reception :I but it's probably easier to be a giant devil man where people know that's a thing #me every time I draw belial: that's my emotional support tiefling #also drawing him with irises and no horns is always so WEIRD who IS that lmao #oh I forgot to color the scar in the first panel pppbbthh #Belial #my OCs #Elyss #darkwind regiment #dungeons and doodles
