Been a while. Here are some rough sketches.

Portraits of my party in the campaign I’m currently in. This group has been great.

Illustrations for the magic item in my previous post

The first item I created for D&D 5E. Below is a little bit of lore, but feel free to apply your own lore to the item, it’s just an ice and water sword. In times long past, Marid ruled over all of the great aquatic civilizations from massive sprawling castles which gleamed amongst the waves and shores. At the height of the Marid empire, the great water genies captured, coerced, and commissioned arcane artisans from the farthest reaches of the world to craft ornate weapons as a testament to the glory of Aquan society. The crafting of these magical weapons required some of the rarest materials in the world, and scholars have speculated that lesser water elementals may have been sacrificed in the process. 

Great Marid lords awarded these magical weapons to servants and warriors who achieved great feats in service to the Aquan kingdoms. Now, owning one of these powerful weapons is a mark of pride amongst explorers, acolytes, or thieves who are fortunate enough to stumble upon one of them.

First piece I’ve finished in a while. This is a friend's dnd character: Bantz Bramblefoot, Lapine Monk.

Bantz Bramblefoot, shaded. I’ll probably add a background and filters later.

Did some redraws of old robot characters. Happy with how these designs turned out, and I plan on drawing them in some more poses. Still don’t know what to call the robot w/dark hair.

These are some sketches I did on stream with some friends. Its helped me get a little faster at drawing and I think I’m gonna keep doing it.

Frigid Grasp: A spell for D&D 5E.

This one is basically just Sub-Zero’s ice projectile from Mortal Kombat. Feel free to use these spells for your own campaign and/or give me any feedback you may have.

Ice Devil Spear: a spell for D&D 5E.

There’s a major lack of iconic ice abilities in dnd. This series of spells was meant to give players the mechanics and flavor to build Elsa, Sub-Zero, Iceman, etc. Feel free to use these spells for your own campaign and/or give me any feedback you may have.
