Tell God I'm Here by choppedmint

a Cleric supplemental and minigame for Solo RPGs

Tell God I'm Here is a newly created RPG supplemental for DnD or DnD-like RPGs, focused around the role of clerics. It provides a new community-building mechanic to give something for your character to do, either as a major part of roleplay or just as a downtime activity.

The supplemental is easy to integrate into an existing game or one which can be used from the very beginning of your journaling journey.

My dear partner has made an amazing little solo supplement. Do check it out, my cleric friends!

Artfight? Artfight!

Artfight.

(I'm drawing lots of ponies this year. Also Victorian/Gothic scrunkles. Wanting to practice idle animations.)

[batsratscats]

Hello, that's me.

My Strahd's over there, too.

[silvisays]

i have been drawing this smug bastard for three days.

i like the canon design well enough, but i wanted something a little more... austere? old world nobility with some more "modern" flair. he looks cleaned up for hosting dinners AND can still get out in the field and torment some PCs <3 There's also just a LITTLE bit of tywin lannister in there somewhere i think.

also before you ask, my DM made him 6'5 (195 cm) U////U

feel free to use the design in your game if you want- just please tag me or comment because i'd LOVE to hear people's thoughts ^v^

Ref collection for the big bad evil guy. Featuring his humanoid self, wolf and bat form as well as a homebrew/RP-based dragon shape. ... tis 'Dungeons and Dragons' after all, yes? Anyhow, I am very normal about this man and have totally not made up an excessive amount of lore about my take on him or anything, no no

[xyanmajor]

I had the chance to draw @batsratscats ' Strahd and @choppedmint character Gregor in mermens version. I choose the moray eel for Strahd, as a predator and because batratscats design is so pointy and unique it was fintting perfectly. I replace some elements of the armor by a more marine version. Gregor's colours were absolutly a delight to use . Ty for lending me your chars for this Secret Strahd >w< ♥

[batsratscats]

The boys! The lads! Our stupid sons!

[kissingagrumpygiant]

Is the dark lord of barovia a feminist? Is the count a queer ally? Is Strahd Von Zarovich my friend?

[choppedmint]

Still stuck in this brainrot. I cannot be helped.

Right, time to dust off Tumblr again and post some of my artwork. Here's one fresh Malzeno in the moonlight; one of my favorite Monster Hunter monsters and generally creature designs of all time.

It's dragon. It's vampire. It's majestic. It's extra. It's fluffy.

[batsratscats]

Not CoS related, but vampire dragons might appeal over here, too.

Presently musing about giving Strahd a good ol' dragon form, too, because the whole Dungeons and Dragons thing, y'know?

[choppedmint]

Gregor Ref

Don't think I posted the updated ref yet?

[choppedmint]

The past wasn't so bright and he was a 'monster' back then too, wasn't he?

Or something.

[batsratscats]

Sick sad man and Tiefling friend(?)!

[batsratscats]

Little Strahd art dump until I manage to make a proper ref for my design for him (so I have something to link to for arting purposes mwahaha). Man's been greying early and that's been causing issues, heh. His vampire transformation also left him freakishly tall- 210cm or ~6.9''.

Also his present array of minis he's got for my games:

And then, of course, this monstrous musing:

[themistboundtable]

Piece I drew last night - wanted to work on some food art and decided to figure out what Strahd should be as an ice cream flavor.

Burnt honey (golden and beautiful, turned scorched and bitter), with blood orange curd (tart but passionate), with dark chocolate shards (self-explanatory).

[batsratscats]

The man, the menace, the flipcharm!

Charm design for myself and my players I made and recently ordered to be produced. The stained glass in the BG should hopefully come out transparent - very excited for the result to arrive.

[backyard-trinkets]

Played around with wigglypaint and did the main vamp man himself

[batsratscats]

And here he is, the man, the menace, my problematic favorite

Redraw of the classic Strahd-in-blue art piece of course!
