Thanks for replying! I've always loved the way you can include so much personality and story into a single character image, it reminds me of the best examples in RPG books where they want to depict a character concept or a monster and they just nail it.
Yo! Whats one thing you love drawing and find hard to do, and one thing you hate drawing but can do easily?
Really great question!
I love designing characters and I never get tired of doing it, but it also never really gets easier. I agonize over every little detail, drawing and re-drawing things over and over and pulling up tons of reference images. A fully-inked and colored character usually takes me a whole workday. I'm generally pretty happy with the finished results but I never seem to get any quicker at it haha.
I don't know if there's anything I'm good at drawing that I also hate to draw. I find the act of drawing pleasurable in and of itself. I sometimes find it frustrating when I'm commissioned to do "generic" fantasy or sci-fi illustrations. Like something that's just a "knight" or just a "spaceman" and the client really doesn't want me to riff on the design. I chafe under those kinds of restraints. Not gonna post any example pics because I don't want to offend anyone but it happens lol. Most of my clients are great though and give me a pretty free rein!
Hope this answers your question. If you've got any other questions about art or how I draw or whatever, just send them my way!

Kobold burrow, Illustrated!
A kobolds bedding will often be a shared space, albeit a quiet one. There is little privacy in the burrow even so, with their few personal belongings kept in small bags, pots and shelves close to their sleeping shelf. Kobolds will make their bedding with dried stalks & stems, and if cloth is available will readily make use of it. Scaled hides do not require soft furnishing, but cushioning is always valued.
Gently glowing fungi and gems are often kept in the communal dens, illuminating the area just enough to be a comfort and help guide those awake. Scavenging insects will sometimes find their way in to feast upon the discarded scraps of previous meals, and then find themselves part of the next meal the kobolds around inbibe.
Art & graffiti are commonplace in the shared dens, usually depicting the inhabitants in addition to their thoughts and feelings on recent events. Dissenting imagery will appear closer to latrines, approving imagery closer to sleeping areas.
Wine probably shouldn't foam this much, but I'm a cider guy so what do I know.
I like to think the Plump Caps and their resulting wine share a lot of flavour with where/what they're grown on. like if you grow them on wood chips you get a nice woody or earthy undertone.

Turnip 28! I love the setting and the amazing amount of world building and model kitbashing you can do with it.
This is my first landscape piece in a long time, and whilst I'm not super happy with the paint/texture on the temple I'm pretty chuffed with the work I did on the ground and sky.
The idea behind this is that in the far east and even farther north of the world of Turnip 28, lies a country in the thrall of a devious & dominating vegetable intelligence. It claims cultish dominion over the lands that used to be eastern europe in the world of T28, and is ever seeking to spread its sinister (and delicious) tubery tendrils into the rest of the world. One day all shall join in its starchy communion!

happy (late) birthday @chunky-doggo <3
Otto Toppic, Medicated Vampire/Medic
Another D&D OC I made a while back, managed to play her in a game of Sambaroum of all things, quite fun.
Idea behind her is that through great application of SCIENCE and a *lot* of drugs she keeps her vampirism in check. or at least stops her from eating her patients.
A "restrained" flesh-witch from the RPG Heart: The City Beneath. One of my favourite TTRPG's for both how its classes are all uniquely weird variants of common RPG classes and how the worldbuilding is dripping with origionality and flavour.
Also I tried a few visual abberation tricks with this one, hopefully to give it a more eldritch or mystical feeling.
