Hey guys, i have long hesitated into showing off my different drawings on photoshop. as i am not a master or anything. i merely am an amature and was drawing mostly for fun and games. A friend of mine started showing me her drawings. and i realised, those are basics just like mine, yet she do not hesitates in showing them to the world. shes even proud of them. but when she started her campaign of D&D and started drawing all of her characters and NPC for everyone to have a good idea of it all. I felt compelled to start doing it again myself. i used to do that when i was in school and i stopped because i was horrible at drawing stuff...
Here i am about 2 months later, still in her gaming group, still loving her drawings, but most importantly... heres what i drew for both my d&d groups. notice i already showed you guys one of the drawings in another thread. but here are them all with a short description of whats missing and whats gonne come as well. and i'm always willing to get help on more drawing techniques.
without further due... here they are...
starting with my most priceless piece...
starting with my most priceless piece...
Khazan Zepheran is my main character in a group led by my friend. you can see my talent in all its glory. it was my first buying a sketch book and i knew i would put them on PC then. but you can already see the big faults here... very very bad proportions. i mean he has two biceps ! i know hes strong but when your muscles doubles , you start having problems. I still have to put this one on PC and redo him on photoshop and i just want to do it, but alas i have other stuff first.
next up...
My Wednesday group, The names Malenka, hes a Jackal were. Though i'd like to have merits, i really do not, i took pictures off the internet from the official WotC monster manual and just traced the lines over. That said, the background and the clothing are mine. not to mention i was testing fur patches with a special brush i had made. so it wasn't all copied. This little guy is the person the players are looking up to when it comes to leadership, but men, do they wreck everything... their characters are supposed to be power ranger like charcaters that fght off evil and lizard invasions.... yet all they succeeded in doing in the few months we played... was to all fail lycanthropic desease rolls, getting cursed by an ice maiden for 2 months. Failing a simple go to point B from point A and deliver X item in Y time. and more recently, teleporting a whole city to the feywild with them in it by using an item designed to stop the previous ice maiden. also be transformed into stone by the final boss, because, hey hes alone and we dont care, so lets just walk into him without knowing a thing about him and his medusa like curse. be memory modified for a few days in the feywild by a mad tabaxi who just wanted friends and then failing all rolls leaving the feywild and ending up like 22 days after the original go, even though we all just left only 2 days ago. so basically... the whole war, the whole ordeal, has been literally stopped by my NPCs because the defenders of the realm were never there to begin with.
very fun game though, i ust love seeing them make mistakes after mistakes and then just laughing it up as they look like the worst power rangers you'll ever meet.
i could go on and on on this one... but let's go to the others...
Wheel of Magic... One of my players Power Ranger Gem is that of a powerfull mage that had much powers over pretty much anything. hers the wheel of magic he uses in his chambers to enchant and summon stuff. at the center we have his teleportation circle, 5 places, and in green his actual spelled runes with a hidden message that says the wizard of the group is stupid. internal gag between us because the guy who plays the wizard of the group just does things without caring and ended up using things he shouldn't. like using a defunct teleporter that has only 25% chances of bringing you to the right place and a whooping 10% chances of sending you to another plane. yet apparently he preffered to take the odds instead of becoming a were raven. Guess where he landed ? on my chart, 2nd layer of the nine hells. thanks to him we now have two level 12 devils tieflings following him around. and once one of those tiefling freed one of the rangers prisoners... that prisonners killed the wizard, and then reanimated him as a tiefling devil himself. so now the player just regret ever taking his decision to try the teleporter. the whole group goes up in flames because of his deecisions... but hey, how can we not like him... he's just that fun to look at when he makes that, i am confused look when he realises there is consequences to his plays.
In my world of Vesthea, there are a bunch of immortals, lesser gods really who protect the world from intermediate gods. basically they manage countries, regions and the likes and makes sure other gods do not interrupt their world. This one is called Anamausa, the queen of Furs. She is a psychic beast creature that is responsible of the lycanthrope region they are in. she has a horde of werehare at her service and she manage her hive with her hive mind ability. the players always thought she was a villain, but in reality she is not a villain she just want the region to prosper and the war between the lizards and the lycanthropes isn't helping. she took some of the characters under her telepathic hive mind, but all of it was for their own good and she releaseed them after she achieved what she wanted. now she knows those people have a lot to do, but looking at them and how badly they run their aventuring group, shes not sure of anything and she's breaking bridges with them at this point. if they aren't carefull they might just loose their biggest ally in the upcoming war with the ice maiden. and since the seed that was supposed to get rid of her was used int he big city as a diversion instead. they lost their big chance of having it easy.
I've gone a long way since my debut 2 months ago. this is the devil of the fourth layer called Mammumuh. she is known as the nine hell grand mother. she is also known as the sinner of gluttony. right now she is missing her trone on which is sitting, and the background is also missing. i have to make those to finish this piece. Shes not a beauty but i love how she looks. sorry if we see some boobs, but i have to say... she's a devil and not much dress fits her because she is that fat. this villain is also boss to one of the 12th level character that followed the wizard friend. and now the wizard friend has become a tiefling of mammumuh. and thus now serves this one. reflection on her sleeves are fine because.. leather you know... but reflection on her skin is due to her sweating a lot. though i have a problem with said sweat. it looks like she is made of wax or something... need to work on that one.
the famous tabaxi they met that played with their memories. funny story... the players met him after he turned them back to flesh from their stone prison in the feywild. he's an old character of mine that i just leveled to 20. he was toying with them. as his job was just to bring them to his boss, the archfey of the unseelie court. they didn't stay with him long and the wizard guy still not understanding when to shut up. decided to just insult the cat. Vine Leaf Humble Wood, didn't take the insults... during the night he dominated the guy with a upped level 7 dominate spell... then just used his time to cast modify memory and changing the fight between the players and the redcap the day before. now the wizard thought the cat had saved him where all of his friends just stood there again, telling him he should proove he was that strong... madea ton of saves, once they all left him... 12 days later, he was now so modified, that he had no recollection of his friends, familly, nor even his childhood. to him he was born in the feywild, in a flower. sent to the material world of vesthea to learn wizardry and then came back to the feywild to his friends. his boss the archfey of the unseelie court was pleased with his services... until that tiefling girl came about, stole Vine Leaf gate cube and then cast greater restoration on the poor wizard who suddently now remembers two lives. the fake one and the true one. his biggest mistake had came back to save his ass. but when it came time to leave the feywild to their banished friends. the tiefling girl killed him and rezzed him as an adept of her boss. and now the aasimar wizard has become lawful evil and lost all celestial lineage to become all infernal. he now has a new goal is he must find a way to fight the urges of evil he has and to find a person who can cast true ressurection or wish on him.
Anothe rdrawing that has not much god from me... the form is from me, but the clothing i took on the net. drew lines and all, but i have no merit there. same with background. but i did learn opacity to great effect and how to do some reflection in when creating ghost entities. This is an undead creature i created called the Astral Nightmare. it started as a simple get drunk evening for the players when they found a blue bottle of liquid from another plane. it had a centipede like form at the bottom. once they finished the bottle they did the unimaginable... they played rock paper scissor to see who would swallow the centipede create. unknown to them, the creature is a parasitic undead who grows the more you feed it. and it has unlimited appetite. as the character grow with the undead it gives them ghost like powers who served well the players. but if they go out of power, they die. if they go over the power, they die as well. 4 deaths later, they finally decideded it was not a good thing to swallow that parasitic entity. but worse then that... the parasite was stuck int eh bottle for a good reason. its the one creating the ethereal alcool. that bottle was auto-refiling itself as long as the creature was in it. so they didn't just lose their own body to that parasite, they also lost a great bottle of booze.
A Mask they found in a shamans room. it acts as a memory jar where the shaman used some weird magic to transforms the essence of an ennemy into a mask of their former self. this one was a large creature named Olmag. its a devil that worked for mammumuh long ago. the tiefling girl found him and since she knew of him by reputation, she kept the mask. during their feywild adventures. she placed the mask on a satyr she found. 3 days later the satyr was no more and Olmag was free again. Olmag is the one who killed the wizard and asked for his tranformation into a tiefling. this guy is the reason the wizard player still wonders why he ever gone into the nine hells. finally understood what i meant when i said he'd never leave hell. he still pays for that travel.
The dragon behind is from the MM. Silver Dragon for 5E.
But the rest of the image is entirely mine. this character is a PC i play in another game. he's a full support sorcerer cleric.
Forgot to paint the nails on his feet. aside from that not much to say about him... except people dont know if he is serious when he says he has lived over 2000 years and that he is a silver dragon. when asked to show his power, he can only breath a small ray of frost. you know the cantrip of the same name. but recently his breath has become better. as per the spell of the same name that is level 2. in draconic on his crest... "Alive" and on his dress still in draconic... "One must remember the past to live the future !"

What can i say about Sion the Blanket of Isolation...
Its a cloak that was stuck in the vault in hell for quite some times. when the players of my friday group, openned and defeated the monsters inside. the cloak finally could get out and snapped itself on a player. the cloak is cursed and alive at the same time. it plays pranks on other players, nothing serious though. it is free now, refuses to ever be in solitary confinement ever again. It also drinks the life force of creatures. otherwise it is lethargic and slow. because of its curse... the player is also getting slowed like the spell and sleepy if he doesn't drain the life of a creature at least once between rests. The cloak is made out of platinum and blue synapses like patterns. in the middle of the back, a word in runes. meaning Brain. The cloaks name is evident when one cast the mental prison spell that it can cast once per day.

Heres one of my master piece... Oomph the large mimic. a psychic mimic that is way too large to move on its own. it has domination powers through dreams of those it attunes to. it can attune to 5 people at once. dominating them during their sleeps and making them sleepwalkers under his control. It currently resides in a farmstead of one of my players in my friday group. he had just moved on and received this bed instead of the one he had called for. when he identified it and realised the bed had a name he wanted to deintegrate it. but the bed spoke and said, please dont. the mimic loves herbalism. because its old master was a chemist that made tons of potions. Oomph would try them all and became this huge mess of a creature. it also eventually gained psychic powers that works only weirdly by dreams states and telepathy. it transformed the bed room of its new master into a herbs paradise. in exchange it drinks only half the loot and produce random potions to its master. its also attuned to the butcher of the nearby city who comes and deliver live meat for the mimic to eat. and it is also attune to a level 1 wizard who thinks hell learn anything if he keeps working for the master. who knows the next 2 it will attune to... wheres the last attunement you ask ? well... its master loves to sleep on Oomph for unknown reasons !
That's about it for now, i am still drawing a few other characters and i am still enjoying my ride. still learning techniques and all and i think i'll soon be able to finally start my cartoon that i wanna do.
so tell me what you think and if there are things you know should be taken care of. tell me, i love learning more about drawing.
i also encourage people showing us their craft ! after all, 2D is also a craft right ?!!
