The return of Miasma :)
#07 - The 80's
Late night dnd character,
His name is Miasma and he rotates in my brain like a rotisserie chicken •-•
15 levels Rouge, 5 Levels Paladin, he's my first multi-class actually-
Gillion Tidestrider, champion of the undersea, hero of the deep 🌊
I love the riptide pirates so much! Gillion is such a cool character and Charlie plays him so well - I love him so much and just had to try to draw him. I spent so long on this and I’m so proud of how it looks! 🐟🏴☠️
The colors are more vibrant on my tablet for some reason and I can’t figure out how to get that to transfer to anywhere else, but I think it still looks pretty cool. This was also my first attempts at really drawing metal, which I think went pretty well! 🗡️
After 99 hours and 11 minutes, I finally finished Wynne Lovet! My lawful good aasimar paladin that was marked by the demon lord Baphomet.
My second dragonborn but my first on this sight. Not one of my favorites but I'm still proud of him. His nickname is "shield biter". 🐲🐉
I also like to do in PCS that my DM's May throw into our campaigns. This is Malachi a fallen aasimar that is trying to convert Wynne to worship His God because of reasons that I may elaborate on in the future???
Wynne Lovett! My first real DnD Character after the starter pack. I love her very much and I'm really proud of how she is coming a long. She's an aasimar Paladin.
my paladin and her goddess if they were in hades, because i love the art style so much
“If you live long enough, you see the same eyes in different people”
my dnd and ttrpg chatacters that i've played or am currently playing, they mean so much to me
about them
CeCe (they/them, elf ranger) is my first ever character, it's more like an npc actually but i've grown too much attached to them.
Vajra (she/her human paladin) is a lightning goddess' paladin, and she's in love with her.
K'riss (she/they chriss engeneer and jedi guardian) is an ex criminal turned jedi apprentice.
Kael (any, changeling warlock) is a stupid warlock who's mom is possibly a demon, and wont admit they're in love.
Reggie (he/him, loner weirdo) is a emo kid who's not afraid to face danger,
more gay paladin and her goddess ig
lesbian paladin and lesbian goddess
I'm trying to learn how to play DND and I just thought about what it would be like to have both a cleric and a paladin in the same party, I can only think that it would be these two things.
1. MCU Tony Stark and Peter Parker
The paladin would be Peter and the cleric would be tony and it would be that kind of dynamic.
Or
2. They would be like sorcerers and wizards
With the cleric saying stuff like "aw how cute, look at him with his little smiting" or "how adorable did they teach you that at summer camp, kiddo"
They would just be at each other's throats.
New character for a dnd campaign. Meet Graham MacArthur, a soft shaggy minotaur paladin dude. I wanted him to be strong/intimidating to evildoers, but friendly looking to people in need. He's based on a highland cow. He grew up in a small village of humans called Dawnbreak Village, and because of his strength and size, he gained the title "The Guardian of Dawnbreak".
uhhhh idk he's a big gay cow what do you want from me. and he's purple of course
Magic Object Idea
Reassembled Painting
Description: What seem to be the painting of a famous artist, but with something wrong. The original was a different painting of another famous artist that was then magically cut in small squares and glued precisely back on to look as the other work. The name of the original is on the back of the frame. It yearns to return its original state.
With an investigation roll of 13 or lower the character doesn’t notice anything, 14 to 17 the character notice the colours are slightly different and in some places wrong, 18 or higher and the character notices the cuts and realise what’s been done to the painting as they read the original painting’s name.
Functionality: once a person stands in a 30ft radius of the painting for a long period of time, the sound of scissor will be overheard repeatedly in the air, this sets the start of the “attack” of the painting. Depending on for how long the character is in sight of the painting, it will try to get their attention and to make them suffer its own curse by:
• Swapping colours of their features, for example making their hair the colour of their eyes and viceversa, or making their skin the colour of their armour and viceversa.
• Swapping two people’s features, in case there are at least two creatures in sight, for example swapping the hair, armour or voices of two characters.
Everything is restored after the character moves 40 feet away from the painting.
To restore the painting the players must either break its curse with magic or restoring it manually in two hours of in-game time where the effects are minimal as the painting returns to its original state. (Make it so there is a way for a character with no art knowledge to know how the original looks like, by either putting the painting somewhere where they can be helped by a professional or maybe by making them find earlier a book of paintings of famous artists)
Once the painting is restored, depending on the character that saved it’s class, it changes form:
Artificer: the painting fuses with their tools giving them a beautiful coat of color, +1 to any checks made using them.
Barbarian: the painting fuses with the barbarian to make tattoos of beautiful art all over their body, +1 to Cha checks
Bard: the painting fuses with the Bard’s instruments, +1 to any attack made using them (magic and not, but only attacks that would damage a creature or more)
Cleric: the painting fuses with their shield, turning it into a fine piece of art dedicated to their god or deity, +1 AC
Druid: the painting fuses with the staff of the Druid, or changes in a similar way their Druidic focus, to make it look like a beautiful representation of blooming nature
Fighter: the painting fuses with the boots of the fighter turning them into a beautiful peace of art, +5ft on all speeds (that are not set to 0)
Monk: The painting fuses with the knuckles of the Monk, marking them with beautiful tiny tattoos, +1 max ki point
Paladin: The painting fuses with the paladin’s blade, turning into to a shining piece of art with its hilt beautiful yet still practical. +1d4 damage dealt using the sword
Ranger: The painting fuses with their bow or ranged weapon, marking with drawings of the hunt, +1 to all Wis checks
Rouge: the painting fuses with the daggers of the rogue, turning them into a deep black colour when they hide but a beautiful piece of art when they don’t, +1d4 to sneak attacks damage
Sorcerer: the painting fuses with the body of the sorcerer as a beautiful tattoo forms on their chest, gain an additional metamagic option
Warlock: the painting fuses not only with the character but with the pact itself that they made with the patron, making your Eldritch Blast look like a beautiful piece of art as it blasts your enemies, +1d6 damage dealt using Eldritch Blast (for Hexblade, it fuses with the weapon and deals +1d4 damage)
Wizard: the painting fuses with the spell book of the wizard, making its cover much more beautiful and depicting the spells inside with drawings too, +1 to the number of recovered spell slots AFTER halving the Wizard level (a 4th level wizard will be able to recover 3 spell slots instead of 2)
Inspiration: the video above, the idea of a painting cut to pieces to form another came to me listening to the story of a Black actress being forced to learn how to act as a White actress.
Mechanic/Feat Idea
Silliest worshipper
Description: You have the ability to use Divine Intervention and all the other “Ask to your God” spells any times you want with an instant recharge only if you use it for something silly (DM’s decision) and if your God is Chaotic-Neutral/Good aligned.
Functionality: You use the spell to ask something silly to your God (another of the same meal you just had, to win a low/no reward slug race, have a nice silly hat, find a good pun on the spot, etc etc) and the God does it, then you feel a pat on your head and hear an astral voice say “Yes, sure darling, no need to use your precious spells for this” you feel warm and then everything turns back to normal, with your wish granted.
This can also work for warlocks only if your patron is Chaotic-Neutral/Good aligned.
In general, this can take effects if your deity is a momma type, even if it’s Lawful/Good but if it is Lawful/Good sometimes it will say things like “But next time use it for good alright sweetie?” making you feel slightly guilty, the more you use it for sillies without using it for something good.
Inspiration: the BG3 playthrough of @dare-to-dm (silly paladins are my favourite, use this so you can have fun in D&D sweetie ❤️)
Character Idea
Warlock
Story: Warlock with a pact with a Deity to kill the paladins who break the oath with them
Functionality: Gives disadvantage to hit when the opponent uses an attack dealing radiant damage, additional bonuses to hit are not counted if the opponent is a paladin of the Deity
Inspiration: I don't know but I told this Idea to my older cousin and he said "cool" so I'm feeling POWERFUL
| Fairy oath of the ancient paladin |
She has only one quest: Bring love into people's hearts
You know, I never really thought about it before, but my dynamic with the paladin of my dnd group is rather ironic.
The paladin, sworn to his God and embarking on his never-ending crusade in their name... Vowing to never let anything stray them from their devotion and path, breaking all emotional ties from everyone from his old life...
..Gets constantly bombarded and pestered by the Aasimar of the group, (Practically just a dnd angel) who also, just so happens, to be the cleric of the group. Not only meaning I'm also worshipping and am devoted to a God despite my carefree nature, but I'm also worshipping the. Exact. Same. God.
Imagine you're going to church and devoted your whole life to make sure you do not sin in the slightest to try and please God to make it to heaven and then suddenly an angel drops down from the sky, throws bird puns in your face after ruthlessly flirting with the preacher, offering to spend the night with the nuns as well, and then still receiving divine blessings as if they weren't one of the biggest sinners alive.
🎊Happy Birthday Garren!!🥳
In the campaign recently we had a fun birthday session for our favourite Paladin where the party threw this grand magic tavern feast and invited the entire village they stopped in after completing a recent side quest!! I just had to draw Garren in his birthday fit and recieving some of his gifts from the party cause it was so wholesome fr fr. Happy Birthday Garren, congrats on somehow living to be both 31 and 281 at the same time (yeah I don't get it either lolol) 😂👀💧
Some close ups:
DnD Character Appearance: Thesilha's Dream World
So the party encountered this really powerful nymph recently while on their journey to some mountains and the only way they could continue is if they completed some trials she set out, one such trial involving having the party members live through a hallucinary dream world molded by their greatest wishes and their deepest fears. Each person had a slightly different world that they lived in but these are the dream versions of people within Ezra's dreamscape. It was very facinating designing these fictious worlds and how significant people within Ezra's life would be shaped by it (Ezra's dream was very wacky and he ended up going a bit mad throughout it all, thanks again @jesuisfinni for playing into his madness for me lolol)
A lot happened throughout this but a quick run down of the changes that happened with characters in this dream world:
Lia was a socially confident and highly respected Top Student at the Deacon College, however while she was intelligent in the ways of the arcane she could not use it or cast any spells
Garren didn't experience any of the Crystaline Curse plot that happened and never lived to be a Military Commander, instead he was just a simple man who was trying to find a job and was quick to grow attached to people (unlike his regular self who takes his sweet sweet time)
Remmy was homeless and fought to survive on the streets everyday ever since his grandparents died and the streets have not been kind to the boy, however he does still have a spark for cooking even if he rarely ever gets to do so
Annabelle (a new backstory npc and long-time friend omg) runs a lively tavern that catered to the monster-kind folks in the high street of the city Ezra grew up in instead of running a secret underground tavern because Teiflings were heavily oppressed and scrutinized
Vince and his twin brother Lee are 2 of Ezra's close friends from his teen years who were unjustly sentenced to death at 15 so in this world they got to live and grow up to be what they always wanted to be (@jesuisfinni really wanted to hammer in the tragic backstory and that's these two I guess)
Sketch Book Art Dump!! 🎨🖊
I've been wanting to post some of the stuff I've done in my personal sketchbook for quite some time now but suffered from the same old ✨️"artist's perfectionism"✨️ and never thought any of them were good enough to post. So here I am, doing this now to remind myself that it doesn't matter if the drawing looks a mess and if people don't like it as much as I do, if I am proud enough that I want to showcase it then I should just do it, even if I end up the only one who thinks it looks cool 😌🙏💜
All of these were done with ballpoint pens and pastel highlighters that I take with me everywhere lolol
Characters are mostly from the DnD Campaign (Ezra the Bard, Garren the Paladin, Lia the Wizard) with a sneaky little glimpse of Junior (derpy dog boi) from the comic I'm creating 🤭
Dnd Art: Sleep Pile 💤
A sketch of the party at current all coming together for a nap cause life is tiring and sleepy cuddle times can help one cope with that struggle (I would know I'm a ✨️professional ✨️ napper 😌👌)
(New Characters:-
Harengon - Luuki 🐇
Aasimar - Lia 👼)
DnD Campaign Arc Art!!
So as a DM, I will sometimes give myself extra work by creating Arc Arts or "Book Covers" (the campaign is split into books cause it a bit long whoops). Most times I did it on a whiteboard but here is one I started and never finished on my computer (I gave up colouring as you can clearly see 😅💅✨️)
This is actually from quite some time ago (like Book 5 and the campaign is now on Book 7) and it was when the party were navigating through a supposedly haunted manor in the middle of some snowy mountains that they didn't know until later was home to a family of Yetis (Yetis that were out hunting for food for their baby, who was still within the Manor while the party was there 👀💧).
Date Night Outfits!!
So after what felt like yearssssss (but was like a couple months in-game time) of these two pining for each other, they finally went on a date!! 🥳🎊
It was a short but sweet date filled with berries, wine, hugs, kisses and dog puke 🥰🤮 But hey, at least Garren got to have a good first date with Ezra before having to go on literally the worst date of his life (due to contractual reasons) with one of the most evil NPC's I've made this campaign 🥲🤌
Quick DnD Modern!!AU Sketch
So my player @jesuisfinni approached me with a concept of what the party might do in a more modern setting and how their character might look in that setting and I just had to draw something from it because it's has been living in my mind rent free for weeeeeeeeeks.
So here is a very 💕cute 💕 and very gay look at Modern!!AU versions of Garren and Ezra 🥰🙌✨️✨️✨️
