Chaotic Illustration

Meet Bellis! She's a halfling with a short temper and a big heart - and has been long overdue for new character art. Here she is, ready to travel to Karrnath to hunt a vampire.

My part of an art trade with the lovely @maud-lin, of their awesome dragonborn, Callow. (Check out their picture of my artificer - I love it!)

My part of an art trade with @dilfsnearyouart - their D&D College of Swords Bard / Oath of Vengeance Paladin, Kreed Rossini.

Finally finished (after the original file corrupting, then Art Fight happening, then health issues making drawing slow and painful) my take on Alphonse Mucha's Pole Star. Sort of a study, sort of a DTIYS? Feel like she's come out a bit "Mucha, but make it Disney", which I might be okay with.

If I were to open a couple of slots for commissions this month or next (OC busts or ttrpg character sheet art etc), would anyone be at all interested?

Some recentish art below - these characters belong to @scarlett-draws, @nykenima, tematcha, @willowthearts, @doodlesofacleric and @not-a-very-good-dungeon-master.

Art Fight attack roundup!

Technically there is another day left but I don't think I have the time or energy to do any more.

This was my first time joining in, and I'm so glad I did. I had a rough target of 10 attacks (Miss! Oops) but I don't think this is too bad for a first attempt. And I'm possibly a bit more confident in drawing for others and stepping out of my comfort zone.

Am I developing a style? I don't know. But I think my art is better than a year ago - or at least it's quicker and more relaxed, which is also a plus.

No idea what I'm going to do now July is over... draw my own OCs? Start working on references for next year? Maybe tentatively think about commissions? I'd really love to contribute to a zine if I can manage to get accepted anywhere.

Okay, remember when I said one of my "improving my art" aims for Art Fight was to work faster?

Oops.

This took longer than intended, but I was so in love with the character's rose-themed fairy design that I couldn't help it - and I think I'm pleased with the results.

This is Rosephine, a fey warlock familiar belonging to Soulaiir on Bluesky.

A bit fast-and-sketchy and I gave up before shading properly... but our sibling D&D group (the DM's other party, doing the same campaign as us) met up IRL for the first time in a while. So I had to recreate the photo they sent us with their characters!
