Ask Mal Fama

Ask the Dungeon and Dragon group characters about their adventures and the artists and players will answer them in their own creative ways!

Doodles sent to Morgan, 5-20 through 5-26

Did a little Mal Fama themed week! (Apologies to Ari that she had to be paired up with Keni lol)

[askmalfama]

Last one for the day, lol. this is just the two of them playing their instruments together after Ari had her hair cut and dyed so she would be less recognizable as the princess. It’s just a doodle but I love the feeling it has.They both are hopeless.

[askmalfama]

Have some more shameless Oland x Ari AU fluff. Here we see Ari and Orland twirling about dancing, him nearly dying and then of course some smooches. Just gonna post this and run. Lol.

Doodles of one of Orland’s older half-sisters, Dahlia! She’s a highwaywoman in the Climbing Rose and she’s way too cool to be related to Orland. Her real name is Mimsy, but she hates it lol… so she sticks with her codename

She rides full-size horses and uses a hand crossbow with poison darts she’s the coolest ever… She would have her hands full keeping her idiot kid brother alive lol

In order to steal a rare sapphire, Ari had to dress up for a masquerade ball where it was going to be shown. Unfortunately Orland, AKA Sunflower, had the same job to do for HIS crew... And he’s as flirtatious and fancy as always even when he’s working for a bunch of dirty assassins and thieves.

Tyreanna had a character design update! This is just a page from a sketchbook, exploring designs again. It’s nice to draw these two again. Thought I ought to post it to the actual MalFama page.

Hahaha, when you have a curiosity of “What if”, lots of crazy things can happen... like “What if” Ari and Orland had met a different way... before they had met their ACTUAL cannon sweethearts. They both were parts of shady guilds, rival teams, so it definitely creates a lot of drama! Pluuuuss...Both of them have terribly powerful enemies. It’s amazing they’ve survived this long. (This is before they both dyed their hair and Ari cut hers.)

[askmalfama]

Orland had to reluctantly dye his hair to avoid sticking out so much with his rare blond hair... not that he doesn’t stick out anyways with how flamboyant he is! Haha, and Princess Ari literally has her hands full with him. The other halfling is his half sister, Mimsy! She keeps them from being stupid... poor fools. Without her this group would be completely hopeless.

Here is my favorite duo on an adventure right now! Orland, the halfling bard, and Ari, the rogue princess elf. In the beginning Ari could hardly bare Orland’s shenanigans, but they both have to work together in order to save their families (Orland is married and had like, eleven kids, and Ari is just married and just had her first kid). I love them. #sketchbook #sketches #characterdesign #dnd #dndcharacter https://www.instagram.com/p/BucP3hZlpQw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1shj04hzvsz0p

Been awhile huh guys? XD

[askmalfama]

Two new DND characters who will be joining Ona and Orland on a new adventure! The red head is Ari's daughter Bree and then the black haired girl is Celi. (We call her Celery)

In honor of Father's Day, How does Orland's family treat him on this day?

HOBBIT BABY PILE

(orland voice) i made too many

[askmalfama]

Static: *cheering from behind a rock* YO! KEEP WRECKIN' IT UP AGAINST ALL THAT EVIL! I BELIEVE IN Y'ALL! 'SPECIALLY YOU ONA BBY!

What is Orland's relationship to the other party members?

I would be thrilled to answer this…..

Ona: best friend! Ona is the only party member that has been consistently respectful towards orland (even when he knew he was being really dumb) and always has his back… orland rides on his shoulder all the time and they’re super tight

Ari: other, meaner best friend! She snarks at him all the time and has occasionally broken his lute or shot an arrow into his gut but she also threw herself in front of a sword for him once so it all evens out. She’s been super invested in his baby lately so he’s very cool with her hahaha

Keni: orland is still desperately clinging to the idea that they are friends even though keni has done nothing but do terrible things to him through the whole campaign. Orland thinks he just needs to get a girlfriend (he’s trying to secretly set him up with ari… a terrible idea)

The Wanderer: orland loves this guy…. the only one who has shown his music significant respect. He looks past the fact that the wanderer thinks he’s a little boy (no matter how many times he corrects him) because he thinks he’s super cool and mysterious and he taught him all about cows. Hilariously, orland is the only one in the party the wanderer listens to a lot of the time

Tyreanna: the tall purple daughter with horns and a tail he’s never had… upon realizing she was about his oldest son’s age, he quickly dropped the flirting and took on a more paternal role (which still weirds her out unfortunately). She’s kept him alive a whole ton, which he appreciates a lot, so he has her back in combat

And he hasn’t quite built up a relationship with the other two new party members yet… so that remains to be seen hahaha

[askmalfama]

Ari: We've had some heart to hearts! Give me some credit I'm not all that mean! And will be even less mean now as I try and be a saint to combat the inner vampire demon thing so I don't end up evil and massacring you all!

[askmalfama]

How much is Mal Famaberg currently developed as a town?

Ari: I GOT IT! I get to answer it!*ahem* (pushed Orland aside)Malfamaburg was originally an abandoned kingdom and then we became its lords and ladies since we were re only ones there exiting from the castle when a whole bunch of refugees came in and assumed we are its leaders and-wait...that wasn't the question was it?Whoops...Anyways just imagine as developed a town can be in just a month since that's all our Dungeon Master has given us. It could be pretty far with all of us working together! Especially with magic users and big beefy meat shield men like Roger doing the heavy lifting! I'm also the one delegating and making sure things run smoothly in town too so we can be the most productive and ready if something bad happens. Looks like being an ex-princess comes in handy after all. ;) Gotta have someone who actually knows how to run a city.

[askmalfama]

To anyone: What does Mal Fama stand for?

Mal Fama stands for "Bad News" or "Trouble" Orland came up with it, it's from some different language... Maybe Latin? ~Tyreanna

A practice Ona doodle.

This is the handmade library card Tyreanna made as a gift for Ari. She thinks she’s really nice and probably the smartest one in the group. So Tyreanna thought she deserved to get the first library card. She left it on Ari’s bed for her to find... Since she was too shy to present it to her...
