Vibe Check

This is my entry to a Pokemon Gijinka Collab over on instagra,. Ifreyna is a Infernape that I used to use when I would battle competitively and (would honour in my current Diamond Nuzlocke that I'm doing with my brothers) This design was super fun to work!

I'm glad this was my first piece that was made in Clip Studio. The hair took advantage of some of the Gouache brushes. I had laid this out as a character spread, something I'd like to do more of in the future. It reminds me of a Jojo page, which is a vibe and a half.

Half-way through the Stream Campaign characters (although this is the last I've drawn as of now 😅) I would go through designing everyone and at the end I'd always say "Oh this design is my favourite." Constantly, and although I think that was a good sign of being happy with my art, Lasera's design is my favourite to have drawn, and probably my best right now. Sophie's reference sheet was a god send, and I recommend checking her art out!

Lasera-Sho (Coiling Ribbon who protects) is a Tiefling Paladin in training. She was born into a farming family that was near the Shrine that raised Lo Ni-Ko, Lasera would visit often and befriend the young bard. Being a dancer, she would get along with the musician and view their relationship as a sisterhood. While visiting the Shrine, Lasera would come across a scythe wielding Hira (One who governs, and may be a warrior on the court of the lord) and aspired to be just like her. Now she travels with Lo, to fulfill her personal training to become a Hira.

If you read all of this I love you, and maybe have a dance every now and again!

The next character from the Stream Campaign. Lo Ni-Ko played by @limegreenarcher. Lo's design was the first of the party I had sketched and completed. It was very fun to work off of Ge's art and she was very helpful with sparking a desire to learn the Shamisen.

A human child raised as a musical priest who travels the land to spread her music. Lo Ni-Ko (Little Seer with Stars in her Eyes) is the daughter of two immigrants who had come to worship the Shiyo-Ka. Born with white hair, a sign to the Niyoh (Priests) that she would have a dormant connection with Other-world and the spirits that live there. This and having visions of a grand future would grant the Ko in her name. Once reaching the age of 14 and being given the protector Lasera-Sho, Lo would be granted her parents and the shrine's blessing to see the country and share stories as a travelling bard while strengthening her spiritual bond.

If you read all of this I love you, and I hope music sparks as much joy for you as it did for me while working on this!

Character art for the Stream Campaign! This is Pymera. A Tabaxi Wildfire Druid. She was very fun to design with the gradients and the wood textures. I also had tried to experiment with eyes after Sam's suggestion and I am more than pleased with the outcome!

Pymera is a Tabaxi who lives a nomadic lifestyle. raised amongst the Bukora (Leaf people) on the Main Lands of Sharei-Laio, she travels from city to city to trade for the Bukora. Using this time to find rare scrolls and books of all kinds to satiate her love of reading. Having not found the final volume of her favourite series of books, she searches the lands in hopes of completing her collection. Pymera also wears feathers gifted to her by a Sunset Eagle that blessed her.

If you read all of this I love you, and I hope a mythical bird gifts you some feathers!

This is a commission I’ve been working on for a month or so as a secret. Its the party of a bunch of twitch streamers who play on the channel Awkward Roleplaying. The dm LitPotato57 had messaged me asking to recreate the party as they fight through the hellscape of Avernus, desending further in.

Thyme is an NPC for my upcoming campaign that I’m gunna be streaming on twitch (http://twitch.tv/kazthedm). This design was super fun to come up with, I had a lot of the ideas swarming my head for a while and it too a few tries but here he be!

Thyme is a tiefling Echo Knight who grew up as a War Mage. Once going by the name Taisuke Michiya before he became a Hiraho (Which is a form of social death and exile).

Fighting alongside him is Shiki, his pet Shiba Inu. She would fight alongside him, before she passed on due to old age. Her spirit forever fighting, she would opt for a younger form as she became his echo and would continue to fight with him.

I can’t share much because I don’t want to spoil much for the campaign for both the players and anyone watching. But I’m very excited for him! I’ve never been so in-depth with my NPC backstories but here we are.
