Red’s bow sang two swift notes as it’s string was plucked. The bloated ocean zombie groaned as it’s mottled flesh was pierced by the arrows. A stench filled the air as the monster shambled closer, a small treasure chest clenched possessively in its large hands. #dungeonsanddragons #rpgart #rpg #tabletop #bowman #rogue #pegasusgames #adelhoch

Blackburn had travelled since night had fallen. The borders of Warrenshire had gone wild and danger seemed to lurk around every corner. He was ready for it. Although the wardens were few in number they were formidable. Trained from the time they could walk, they learned to harness a feral ferocity that was instilled through brutal exercise, punishment and isolation. Under his layers of wool, fur, linen and leather the heart of a Berserker Warden beat steady and strong. #Blackburn #BerserkerWarden #halfling #rpg #dungeonsanddragons #characterdesign #Adelhoch

Highwater was always his favorite place to drink. Sweet, crisp, clear, the water that gurgled up from the deep spring below the ancient trunk seemed to slake his thirst, body and soul. #troll #characterstudy #monster #myth #highwater #adelhoch

The Final Hour, created by the light of the Firefly in the comfort of her bosom as the first snow falls in this warm hearted village. I’ve dropped this for the taking, for the magic of the moment of discovery, as well as for the quest. You will find it at the bottom of the world. Come. Visit. Have a cup of coffee. Perhaps you’ll find me too. #thefinalhour #artdrop #originalart #adelhoch #haveanadventure #coffeeshop #firefly (at Firefly Coffeehouse)

Adventure called and I answered. The Wisconsin Dells are a beautiful and special place. The French called them the Dalles, describing the layers of rock they saw, rock so soft that trees can drive their roots deep within and draw moisture like a sponge. Wisconsin got its name from the Native American Hochunk tribe. In their language it means something like the land of dark running waters. Tannic acid from the vegetation turns the water a sort of deep brown and its non-toxic. In fact life flourishes here. We saw a majestic bald eagle flying to its nest with a three foot long branch high in a tree that crested the ridge line. A red squirrel scouted our arrival as we embarked on a hike under giant 60 ft tall toad stool formations. It’s a wonderful place to visit if you ever get the chance. #wisconsindells #wisconsinautumn #wiphotography #familytime #adventure #adelhoch (at Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin)

Copic markers color a print of my original work. Colored pencils will get a turn to illuminate the image further. A dark elf and a dwarf have reason to believe that they are being watched. They spring to their feet, weapons in hand. #characterdesign #drow #rpg #dungeonsanddragons #megafungi #adelhoch

For many years, perhaps 12-15, it lay in slumber beneath the crown of the tree, nestled among the roots, deep in the earth, its stunted wings a cruel joke it seemed. One day it awoke and clawed its way out from darkness, feeling warmth and light on the other side of its earthen crypt. It emerged and saw the sun through the dappled light and felt a change was already occurring deep within. It found the base of the trunk of a towering tree and climbed, claw over claw until it reached a spot to rest. Within it's hard shell, it's barrier against the world, were all the things it needed to grow. So it split its shell and unfurled four lacy wings as it climbed out. Soon it was airborne flying from tree to tree and the darkness it had emerged from was no more than a shadow it now flew over. #cicada #cicadastory #growth #natureismyteacher #adelhoch
