An Alchemist comes to Phoenix Drop
The village of Phoenix Drop is one that is not so large but so small. A village with many characters that lead their own lives connecting and spreading across to one another like a spiders Web. The center is a lady, her name being Aphmau, the lord of this village. But now a new thread has come into the web, walking along the cobblestone path through the greenery of the forest to the entrance with oak plank walls up high surrounding the area. This is our story begins, with a blonde hair teen with bright sunny eyes. And a satchel at their side. With a white and red coat swaying in the wind, a new character has come in. An Alchemist has come to Phoenix Drop.
/sry I haven’t been here in a bit but this is kinda what I was talking about a few post ago. The rest of the alchemist series will most likely be in headcanons or short stories based in the middle(?) of season 1 of mcd. I hope I can make more of these/
Smaugust prompt #22: Alchemist Dragon! (List is from @/maahismaaria on insta)
I’ll be honest, I kinda love this character, I might give them some lore 😳
Persian Muslim scientists aesthetic
This painting is quite small (smaller than A5 I believe) with miniature details, which you see enhanced here. I used tiny brushes to make it and applied the paint in many thin layers. I would have wished to show you the physical piece. Unlike big paintings, you need to hold this close to you and get closer and closer to see each detail. I love that.
I am immensely captivated by early Renaissance landscape art. How they paint each tree and rock, the bizarre architecture, the blue mountains far away, the silence and magic… It just feels like somewhere I know and very real. This is a painting that come about because of those feelings.
Sadly I still lack a name for it. Well, maybe...
Castle of Alchemists, 2020
My slime girl Latissa and her tailor Elion! You might remember them from the last year when I posted the concepts and wrote about them a little
The art was done for a palette challenge and the colours were very tough to combine but I hope I did a good job (人 ˘ ˘ ˘)
This is Salomon Ravenshard, the character I played in a Descent into Avernus campaign!
He's a grumpy alchemist who is ever searching for more knowledge and entities to study. He's rather reckless with his ambition with little regard to his own health at times. He's slow to befriend others as he feels that anyone he calls a friend ultimately perishes as an indirect result of his actions.
I for one am a fairly positive person but it was interesting playing an antihero like this! Don't worry, he eventually ended up calling his party friends by the end : )
Alchemist's hobby.
I felt like doing a sketch of my first D&D character, Dr. Heironymus Marvin. He is an alchemist lava-gnome, who enjoys the simple pleasures in life. Like crafting firebombs, setting things on fire and causing chaos if he doesn’t get payed. I like him a lot. I should ink him.
Professor Knopphauser’s Chilli Sauce Labels
Labels for Justin Knopp's (Typoretum) home-made chilli sauces. Ever since I know Justin, I am a huge admirer of his typographic laboratory and chilli garden. So when he asked me to design the labels of his annual chilli sauces I thought, this will be the perfect opportunity to draw limitless details, hidden puzzles and wicked characters, which will perfectly fit Professor Knopphauser's laboratory!

The label is depicting the making of the chilli sauces, on which occasion, skeletons and devilish creatures are gathered in the dungeons of Typoretum. In the background of this diabolic kitchen, there are objects, posters and instruments, which are related to Justin in a way or another. Sadly, this illustration, however true it may seem is not an accurate interpretation of the cooking process, so put down the torches and pitchforks guys!

For the finished illustration Justin has chosen colours to match the sauces perfectly, then he letterpress printed them on his Gietz Hand Feeder. The label cropped size is 145×85mm.

Giovanni Rotunda Palatino az alkimista
A múzeumok éjszakáján voltunk a budai Arany Sas patikamúzeumban, ha tehetitek látogassatok el oda, mert annak ellenére, hogy milyen kicsi, nagyon jó dolgok vannak ott. Az egyik teremben be van rendezve egy egész szobányi alkimista labor, ami annyira tetszett, hogy meg akartam rajzolni de arra gondoltam, hogy először szükség lenne bele egy alkimistára is. Így született meg Giovanni Rotunda Palatino, az itáliai vendégtudós a magyar királyi udvarban. Persze lehet, hogy nem ő a legjobb alkimista, de nagyon szereti amit csinál.
Giovanni Rotunda Palatino the alchemist
There is a Pharmacy museum called Arany Sas (The Golden Eagle) in the castle district of Budapest, what I visited last week. There is a fully furnished alchemist laboratory inside, what I liked a lot so I wanted to draw it. But then I tought it needs an alchemist first who practice alchemy there. He is Giovanni Rotunda Palatino the Italian alchemist, now a guest scientist in the court of the king of Hungary. Maybe he isn’t the best, but he likes what he do.
Got a new Samsung lite tablet and was testing it out by drawing this Goblin Alchemist
No dwarf sharpshooter would be anything without his Goblin Alchemist best friend
