Rogue Life

Feel free to send me an ask about any characters (pc or npc) or settings you find floating around on here. I may update this post from time to time to include a list of the characters that currently have most of my attention but I’ll answer any questions about any character or setting I have at least some knowledge of. (Anonymous asks are on btw.)

Current characters holding my attention:

Erasmus van Richten (PC)

Rudolph van Richten (NPC)

Jarlaxle Baenre (NPC)

Gaius Marlow (OC NPC)

Gaius Drackovich-Baenre (OC PC)

Sindri Starborn (OC PC/NPC)

Current settings (most are custom):

Forgotten realms (this also extends to the Domains of dread)

Midariyus

Seeliearta

Minuai

World 4 (a currently unnamed Legend of Zelda inspired setting)

The Nowhere isles AU

Ok, I can finally answer this now that I’m fully awake.

Jarlaxle is a serial romantic and the kind of silver-tongued smooth talker that could sell the devil his own crap as gourmet chocolate. At our table he has an arraignment with Korina (a PC turned NPC) and her treasure hunting guild, Starwatch, where they often exchange services with each other. He provides her with some of his men for particularly dangerous or difficult hunts and she provides him with information on potentially profitable endeavors or, really anything he needs.

*checks notes*

Happy Birthday to @amestilskin. As you may know, the hubby and I have been working on a neopets inspired dnd setting so, for your special day, I’ve drawn one of your faves as he appears in the world of Seeliearta.

Alts and stat block under the cut.

My husband and I have been working on a D&D setting inspired by neopets which could be easily converted INTO a neopets setting but isn’t one.

Any suggested neopets character will be drawn as a character in the above setting. If you want to see the character as a neopet D&D character, please specify.

OCs are allowed but I will need a detailed description or reference for the character. I will default to drawing them as a D&D species unless asked specifically not to. (See below for exceptions.) Please note that canon characters do take precedence over OCs as I understand them and their potential roles in the world better and thus they are likely going to be more fun for me to draw.

As I’m not doing this for pay, I reserve the right to completely ignore any requests I don’t like or just don’t feel like drawing.

Once again, credit to @sharkozaur for the scar idea. Enjoy this gothic horror looking bastard and the girlfriend he still can’t believe chose to continue putting up with his bullshit considering she’s in league with Batman.

Ok, I’m working on a completely different project at the moment and I want someone to draw my characters for me… but I’m too broke to commission art so this is an option call for a fun little art game.

In the forgotten realms lore that my husband and I built, Jarlaxle has a son named Gaius (named by his mother) whose life he is surprisingly involved in. Gaius’ mother is Korina (Tiefling OC) and he spends his time going between Bregan D’aerthe and a tribe of Vistani monster hunters.

Here’s the challenge: What does he look like? I know but I wanna see what other people think based purely on the information provided. I’m also curious to see what class(es) you think he is.

Finally!

After months of being unable to draw anything, I’m finally working on something. Hubby and I are looking into checking out Mutants and Masterminds. We actually intend to play DC Adventures specifically because I like DC. The villains specifically.

I’ve seen several people give Crane a lip scar but I ripped this one specifically from @sharkozaur’s version of Crane because I love that it actually tears his lip open slightly so I have to give them credit for that. (I also like to imagine him coming off as very mild and unassuming and I like what the scar takes away from that guise.) You can probably see some other inspiration in there too if you’re familiar with their art. (And if you’re not, go check them out.) I intend to draw my Pc in here too soon.

Me: It’s Sherlock Holmes. He works with the police a lot, y’know like Lestrade.

Husband (DM):

If you follow my other blog (@foxfireartist), you might be aware that I’ve done this before.

A “low magic” setting that’s actually a standard high magic setting but flavored so that magic has a more grounded or somewhat believable explanation. So each of the magic classes are flavored differently.

Bard: Bards are weird. That’s it. If you want another explanation, here’s my suggestion: Maybe the world used to be more magical and bards are tapping into that ancient magic. Bard spells often don’t visibly do anything but it’s clear they’re doing something magical because they’ll sometimes dance with statues or teleport short distances with little explanation. They’re basically stage magicians.

Cleric: Divine magic. They just pray, this one writes itself. Like bards, clerical magic rarely has any visible effect but the results are undeniable. You don’t normally get up and continue kicking ass after breaking an arm after all. (Also applies to Paladins)

Druid: This one likely has more of a witchy vibe. Calling forth the power of Mother Nature to aid the caster. Druids probably always have some material components on them for their spells and even if they don’t they can easily find the necessary components nearby. (Also applies to Rangers) Wild shapes probably take the form of polymorphic potions created during the last long rest.

Sorcerer/Warlock/Wizard: Though the origins of their magic are all different in the lore, all 3 of these classes gain access to their spells the same way. All 3 classes have access to hammerspace which provides whatever gadget they need to mimic a particular spell. (Ex: Fireball=grenade or rocket launcher.) Wizards probably research the tech required for such things and their “spellbooks” are actually notebooks full of blueprint sketches with runic symbols on the cover that gives them access to the hammerspace. Warlocks gain access through their pacts. Sometimes a familiar or pact item is the conduit for this extra-dimensional pocket. And sorcerers… sorcerers are just cartoon characters. They woke up one morning with a lighter in one hand and a can of hairspray in the other with no knowledge of purchasing either item.
