A special gift for a super cool friend @skullymingo ! Inspired by a painting of a flamingo and another friend's comment about it while at the ren fair. I wanted to do a larger papercraft piece, and I thought this would be a great way to try it out. Not bad for not making this in my usual place of work. :D Check out the last panel to see the shimmery texture that gets lost in the scan.

Shiney is a mountain dwarf, Oath of the Ancients paladin who worships a god named Dunatis. her holy symbol is an opal, and her halberd, Terranhart, is an ancestral weapon! it was bestowed upon her by her mother after we managed to rescue her from the Underdark, and prevent a demon lord from crossing over into the material plane to trigger an armageddon! dnd is. insane.

misc drawings of my dnd PC, Shiney (and a bonus Roxy, the bard of her party) from 2020-2021!

so much has changed since then, LEAST of which being that we're no longer level 13... time truly flies!!!

more Skullbuddies campaign art, from 2021! this time its a sketch from one of my favorite story reveals, two parallel moments that happened nearly back to back. our dm has some of THE coolest lore reveals, i swear.

featuring: Roxy bickering with her sister/mom/clone Melody, Melody being Herself, Roxy having Gay Epiphanies, and a sleep-deprived Yoyo working on writing her own spell

featuring: our bard Roxy finally realizing/admitting she has Certain Feelings for her best friend!! wlw stands for warlock-loving-wizard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

an old portrait of Yoyo! she belongs to @flaresiram and she's my favorite wizard ever

featuring: Roxy's ex gf being so super completely jazzed to see her after being ghosted for like 3 years, yoyo struggling with pineapple-shaped pool floaties, shiney the hairdresser, yoyo being Repressed, the insane ping-pong robot our ranger defeated in order to become the Pong Champ, and a cross-stitch design of a quote from when we were trapped in an interdimensional cube dungeon. whoops!

rainbow brush doodles and dnd is ALWAYS a good combo!!

fun fact: the name Aine ("awn-ya") is one of the wives of Fionn MacCool, and is connected to fruitfulness & prosperity. her last name Caragh ("kar-ah") means “friend” & “beloved”! i wanted to name the girl Shiney pined for to be smth suitably tender, and Gaelic names r great for that hahaa

back in May everyone on twitter was drawing their OCs for a Cartoon Network color palette challenge, so i HAD to join in with Shiney!

@flaresiram‘s Yoyola Leagallow the halfling

I was sketching some cute couple poses and I liked this one the most to flesh it out using @flaresiram ‘s Yoyo and @skullymingo ‘s Roxy. You can see the other sketch I was considering to line which was just a reversal of the initial pose. I didn’t feel like drawing their D&D outfits so I asked the two of them what Roxy and Yoyo’s modern clothing outfits would look like. Both of them sent me very through outfits. Everything from accessories to what type of bag they would carry. It was really cool especially since I was planning to mess with gradients and screen tones on this drawing! Playing with the D&D characters in a modern setting idea I initially imagined them being at a dock or pier, but ditched that since it didn’t feel right. Instead made the thing Roxy was leaning on a brick wall near a cross walk. I imaged they were enjoying each other’s company waiting for the rest of the Skullbuddies. 

Had fun with the CN color pallet art challenge on Twitter Honestly a pretty fun exercise with color and semi lineless artwork!
