Modern Knights

Since y’all enjoyed the warlock post I thought I’d give the same treatment to my second favorite class: the druid! The flavor of it is absolutely great and wild shaping? Amazing!

Want to be a travelling Johnny Appleseed type character that spreads the seeds of a near extinct plant?

Want to be a lycanthrope who tried communing with nature to better control their beastly nature?

Want to have been trapped within an plane of elemental chaos forcing you to familiarize yourself with the elemental forces to survive?

Want to be a traveler from a far off land with the ability to transform into strange and exotic creatures?

Want to have the spirit of some great wolf that you regretfully killed inhabit your body, pushing you to protect the wilderness it once roamed?

Want to be a gardener whose touch soothes and guides plants?

Want to be the verdant guardian of a sprawling city’s only patch of green?

Want to feel the background noise of the earth in the very depths of your bones, and channel that living sound into playing an instrument you grew and shaped from a tree?

Want to be the only surviving member of a druid circle whose forest was destroyed in some cataclysm that you seek to warn other druid circles of?

Druid! Druid! Druid!

Now that I’ve got a long-term video project off my plate, I can start another one!!  An animatic this time, since full-color finished animations take actual years. @v@ 

$1 patrons on Patreon will get(/have already gotten) WIPs and concept art for this project–I hope you’re excited for this tattooed nun and her huge demon boyfriend, because I sure am!

Chain OC idea (again)

Fetter

Vanirman Monk (subclass tbd)

She’s on the taller side (not for a Vanirman but sure compared to the rest of the world), and fit af. Honestly though, she’s pretty average for a Vanirman, the only variation being her somewhat darker hair.

A woman of few words, she almost exclusively uses Chain Sign - theories vary as to why: can’t speak common, doesn’t have a tongue, is just fucking with everyone, etc. Nonetheless she manages to be plenty expressive and get her point across. 

She is a very big fan of the general adage: better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Independent by her own nature and her upbringing in the north, she respects rules that come from a place of strength and wisdom, but doesn’t care for authority for the sake of authority.

While no stranger to a fight, she’s slow to provoke with a generally easy-going attitude. She prefers to prove herself against forces far beyond her - nature itself.

Along with her general martial prowess, she’s well known for being an adept mountain climber and spelunker, having learned on the harsh glaciers of the north. She can often be found free climbing whatever happens to be around: cliffs, chasms, castles, and whatnot.

Unusual for a Vanirman, she favors fighting with her fists and improvised weapons. She’s particularly fond of using chains and pitons (which she has on her for scaling particularly intense slopes), and has frequently been known to use the chains as wraps to make her strikes that much more devastating.

She also doesn’t wear armor, but exclusively wears long sleeves (but you still see hella muscle definition tho). Rumor is that she has intense tattoos twisting up her arms that she’s hiding, but most people think that’s ridiculous.

Joined the Chain to see more of the world. She particularly respects the variety of skills the various members of the Chain display.

(Probably an Advancer/Green Boot cause I think she’d make for a good scout in addition to assailant).

My chain OC, since it’s about time I finally made one!

Name: Oak.

Human female ranger (the second best ranger, thanks very much), mid 50′s. Face like a gnarled oak, hence the name. Stronger than she looks, and loves to complain. Every time she’s asked, she has a different story about her life before The Chain. Serves in the Advancers, as a scout. Or at least, she did. But right now, she’s making her way from Blackbottom to Capital.

Shout out to @wojtekbc for being a damn pillar of this community. Also @fisyx @xynnos @zarozinia and @hubbleablubble for doing cool featured art.

the full process is on ariana’s twitter (@ornerine). 

Consider:

Victorian England: 1867-1901

American Old West: 1803-1912

Meiji Restoration: 1868-1912

French privateering in the Gulf of Mexico: ended circa 1830

Conclusion: an adventuring party consisting of a Victorian gentleman thief, an Old West gunslinger, a disgraced former samurai, and an elderly French pirate is actually 100% historically plausible.

Halloween, but make it Gay 🎃🌈

I couldn’t find any gay Halloween merch that I liked, so I made my own!

Drew these designs for this week’s speedpaint in order to both celebrate Halloween and shine a light on the fact that it’s LGBT history month!

(If you like the look of these designs, you can pick your favorites up over on Redbubble!)
