digital painting of a tabaxi, lying on her back on the railing of a flying ship and petting her pet archaeopteryx, which is sitting on her stomach. the tabaxi has humanoid facial features with a feline-like leathery nose tip, bright yellow eyes with slit pupils, lynx ears with tufts sitting atop of her head and a striped tail curling off the edge of the railing. she has tan skin and long messy black hair. she is dressed in simple clothing—beige rolled-up pants, a black form-fitting top and a red jacket over it. her pose is relaxed, with one arm under her head and the other scratching her pet's head with long nails. a thunderstorm is raging around them, with lightning illuminating the tabaxi and her pet from behind; in the distance, there is a silhouette of a flying crow. the painting is done in shades of brown, blue, purple and cool red.ALT

commission for @music2muse, her tabaxi character Ororo with her pet archaeopteryx Peaches and crow Myth! thank you so much for commissioning me 💜

you guys might remember that one rather racy painting i did a while back of Caleb helping Essek into a fancy outfit. you might also remember that it inspired @luddlestons to write an even racier fic, which prompted me to illustrate it.

guess what, the fancy wizards saga is not over! me and ludd ended up collaborating on some after-party wizard shenanigans, and you can read their wonderful fic Unlaced, Undone over on ao3, and see the full illustration i did on my nsfw bluesky! please enjoy 😎

tip jar!

digital sketch of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role, based on a screenshot from episode 103 of campaign 3. he is a young-looking drow with slightly messy shoulder-length wavy hair and small pointed ears, wearing a robe and a large knitted scarf around his neck. he has a scared expression on his face, with wide eyes and a slightly open mouth, and his hands are up and curled against his chest in a defensive gesture.ALT
that one viral blurry screenshot of a scared hamster backing into the wall of its cage.ALT

i’ve had this expression of Essek’s rotating in my mind ever since i finished watching the latest ep, so i had to sketch something about that

a hips-up digital portrait of a person extending his hand to the viewer as if to help them up, with a sympathetic smile on his face. he looks relatively young but tired, has light blue skin, yellow eyes lined with dark kohl, gills on his neck, ears that resemble fish fins, fins running along his forearms, and webs of skin between his fingers, pierced to allow for multiple rings of mixed metals, gems, and designs. his dark blue hair is short and messy, and there is a crown of shark teeth embedded in his forehead, the blood permanently staining it; he has similar bloodstains on his palms. his facial hair is very well groomed and consists of a thin and soft handlebar mustache and a short beard shaved to look like waves. he is wearing various earrings and multiple necklaces, including a raven skull pendant, over a slightly open white shirt, with ruffles in the front and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. the shirt is cinched at the waist with a black and white underbust corset, and his pants are dark and roomy.

the painting is done in soft, pearlescent colors, with the light source shining from above and giving the character a saintly appearance, as well as a subtle halo behind his head.ALT

commission for @hi-imthe-riverbutch, their triton grave domain cleric Princess Andy! i am absolutely in love with his design, and it was super fun to work on the lighting here. thank you for commissioning me! 💜

a waist-up digital painting of a half-orc playing cards. they are muscular and thick, have grayish-green skin, pointed ears and a bit of chin scruff. their dark brown hair with streaks of gray in it is swept back into a long braid, which is thrown over their shoulder and resting on their chest. the side shave exposes a black tattoo in the form of a simple curl, with a circle closer to their pierced eyebrow. they are smiling a sunny grin, their long tusks exposed and eyes crinkling at the corners. they're dressed in a simple blue jacket, the sleeves rolled up and showing the thick hair on their forearms, as well as a white shirt, with their cleavage visible in the low neckline. they have one elbow on the table in front of them, the hand holding a fan of five cards with a simplified image of a phoenix on the backs, while the other forearm is resting fully on the table. there is an ace of diamonds between the index and middle fingers, facing their opponent.

the painting is done with wide brushstrokes and employs a peach background and soft orange lighting.ALT

commission for @smuclge, their half-orc paladin/barbarian Muurthak! i absolutely fell in love with them while working on this portrait 💜 thank you for commissioning me!
