[ID copied from alt text: A digital icon drawing of my OC Fitz (they/he/it), set against a striped two toned green background with pale swirls patterning the stripes. Fitz, who is shown in three quarters profile facing to the left, is a young, dark orange Eladrin with short yellow hair that is shaved on the side, green swirling tattoos covering the shaved side. It has dark freckles across its cheeks, heterochromia which is expressed as one green and one gold eye, and a split tongue that is sticking out of its mouth mischievously. It has several piercings including a green plug in its earlobe, a nose ring, two studs on the upper bridge of their nose, and a stud eyebrow piercing.

The same image as the first, except the background is blank and transparent. End description.]

I think I've really settled on this image of Fitzy (I've been calling them that in my head a bit lol) so I decided to make an icon for them! I was thinking about images for like roll20 and such, even though this campaign is still at least a full human year away lol. What can I say? I'm excited! Can't wait til I can introduce this fucker to its party 💚💛

[Image description: A full body digital drawing of my OC FItz (they/he/it) set against a mottled orange and green background. Fitz is a young, thin, dark orange Eladrin with a short yellow mohawk, the shaved sides covered with swirling green tattoos, a scruffy chin beard, green and gold eyes, and dark freckles across their face, arms, and chest. They also have a set of scale like green tattoos across both shoulders and biceps. They are shirtless, showing off top surgery scars and a belly button piercing, but have on dark green shorts and white bandage like wraps on both hands. They are suspended from a hanging hoop with their legs supporting their body, which is hanging upside down. One hand is behind their head while the other is held out in a peace sign. They are sticking their tongue out in a cheeky manner, showing off a split tongue and stuf piercing. End description.]

Can't wait to get to play this weird little dude, I'm having a ball just drawing them atm tho

[Image description: A full body digital drawing of my OC Fitz (they/he/it), set against a green and gold brick patterned background. Fitz is a young, thin, dark orange Eladrin with a short yellow mullet with shaved sides, one of the sides covered with a green ink swirling design tattoo, and heterochromic green and yellow eyes. It also has a scarification style tattoo of a star pattern covering its entire left (viewer's right) forearm. It is wearing a long sage green hooded jacket, a black crop turtleneck with a triangle cutout at the chest, brown pants, and green ballet style shoes with fabric that wraps around and goes up its shin. They also have several piercings including a nose piercing, a bridge piercing, an eyebrow piercing, a belly button piercing, an upper lobe piercing and a tunnel gage, as well as several other piece of gold jewelry. Their right (viewer's left) had is covered in gold jewelry that gives the appearance that they have sharpened claws, but their left hand is bare, showing that they do actually have claws. They are hanging from a royal blue aerial silk with their legs wrapped up in the silk. They are looking off to the left with a smirk on their face. End description.]

Redesigned Fitz! There is no guarantee that I won't redesign them again in a few month, but I do really like this! I think their clothes are often a confusing mix of very skintight/wrapped clothes and flowy, baggy clothes. Like they'll mix a bodycon tube top with harem pants sorta shit. Anyway, here is my dragon-y boi! The claws thing may or may not stick, I just had an idea about them not being able to control how their ki (which is derived from a relationship with some sort of dragon) affects their body. So the claws might be temporary, who knows? I certainly won't for at least two years lol

[Image Description: A screenshot of a digital bust drawing of my D&D character, Fitz (they/he/it), set against a muted magenta background. Fitz is a young dark orange Eladrin with yellow streaked orange hair in a small topknot, heterochromic gold and green eyes, dark freckles on their cheeks and nose, and swirled green ink tattoo on the shaved sides of their head. It has several green metal piercings including a septum ring, an eyebrow piercing and tunnels in its earlobes. It is looking towards the viewer and smirking with an eyebrow cocked. End description.]

Idk what it is about Fitz, but I really really like drawing them. A WIP of a fun fashion-y piece I'm working on 💚🧡💚🧡

(Plz don't reblog)

I'm just remembering I made this blog to info dump about my PCs without worrying about spoiling shit for my party members, and somehow I have yet to talk about the one secret I've been holding onto for the longest.

The idea for this thing has changed a bit over time, bit since the very first game over 2 years ago, Saube has had Celestial blood/heritage. On their character sheet, they are listed as half tiefling/half aasimar for the purposes of stats and shit, but the aasimar/celestial stuff is a little further buried than that. I definitely know that my party members have suspected stuff at least a little bit, esp after a fairly recent game where Saube began to question this herself (she doesn't know), but we have yet to get "official" confirmation. It's gonna be so tasty when that finally gets revealed.

I've made a few hints to it over time bc it's something I'm excited about but I also don't want it to just come out. It's gonna be so much more satisfying in game. What I think would be really interesting would be if we fought a creature that does radiant damage. Outwardly, she only looks like a tiefling, so fire resistance is to be expected, but not radiant resistance. However it ends up coming out, it'll be real fun.

You ever have an OC that you can't help but pile angst on to?

For me, it's my satyr boy, Leandre. I haven't played him in months but he lives in my head rent free, suffering. I had a new idea for him yesterday involving his barbarian path. He hasn't reached level 3 yet but I was originally planning on making him a Totem Warrior. Instead, I'm now thinking about Ancestral Guardian. The absolute angst that would come from him raging for the first time after leveling up, seeing the ghosts of his warrior heritage... including his father, who died when he was a kid.

I'm sorry, Lean, I do love you, but sometimes brain is an angst machine
