hello this took me almost 12 hours so im writing something about it. im, like, really proud of this! i feel like im finding a lining/rendering style i really like and even if it took way too long it was worth it.

this is Zesty (short for Zaest’ya), my tiefling bard from a campaign that ended last year. this piece is me writing the end for a character that meant the world to me </3 the story didn’t end at us being at super-high level, so my GM let us to write how we imagined our ending

im planning to draw something specific about the first post-game so i won’t go too much in detail, but eventually Zesty gets invited to teach at an Academy for young talents, where she conducts studies in search recognition from Shelyn, pathfinder Goddess of Arts

the bird in the piece is, in fact, a symbol of Shelyn! i had never drawn a bird (and i think you can tell) but again, pretty proud of how it came out

three years into this small tradition! here’s the 2021 (year of the tiger) and 2022 (year of the rabbit) versions!
