yo I’m kessler! I do art but this account is mostly for funsies. Check out my insta or twitter for more art and less [gestures at everything]. I’m @ g0blinoids everywhere!
hello! my name is dorian, and I'm a 28 year old midwestern butch artist. I primarily draw my D&D characters and OCs, though you will occasionally see some fan art from me as well, typically Pokemon.

for your convenience, here is a quick reference guide for my most frequently drawn OCs under the cut below!
vvvvvvvvvvv
OTSOA "OTO" OXWELL (he/him): halfling draconic sorcerer from my group's Strixhaven campaign. once a young farmhand from the tiny Faerûn town of Barley, a wildfire sparked by the disturbance of a red dragon's remains destroyed his entire home and forced him into years of intensive recovery for the burns he received. as part of his physical therapy he was taught wizard's magic, but struggled to wield it properly. it wasn't until years later while adventuring with his friend Raven that he discovered that the wildfire left more than just the burns upon his body, and his sorcerous abilities awoke from dormancy. now he studies with his newfound friends to become a top Prismari student and uncover the true nature of his magic -- but with each stride he makes, his draconic impulses grow worse, and he is forced to reckon with what it is he truly desires out of his life. also I draw him pretty often with @g0blinoids wizard Kellin 🫶
JOHNNY CADAVER, aka DAISY SMITH (she/her): my Seeker playbook character for a Monster of the Week campaign set in the mid 90's. Daisy was a born rebel from a hippie San Diego family with a passion for making music and causing trouble. she lived her whole life in her twin sister Violet's shadow, until one night in their senior year Violet was kidnapped by a mysterious stranger. Daisy tried to come forward with what she saw, but nobody believed her -- so she stole a motorcycle, changed her name to Johnny, and left town with the promise not to return again without her sister. along her travels she encountered the ghost of a road kill deer, who she named Ford F-150, that guides her from one supernatural clue to the next. eventually he led her to the town of Fresno, Idaho where she and her new friends fight against strange monsters that creep in the shadows, all while Johnny secretly hunts for traces of her long lost sister.
AMARANTH (she/her): my blood hunter human originally made for a campaign that is now cancelled so she's kinda floating in the void for now until I find a new one for her. she's a stoic mercenary who travels alongside @g0blinoids ranger Echo; why they stick together is unknown, since the two seem to hate each other with a burning passion, but they both fight tooth and nail to keep the other alive. I unfortunately can't really say more about her since I don't want to risk any of our group seeing spoilers 😔
TANGO (she/her): once my primary dnd character of four years for a Curse of Strahd campaign, now recently liberated to be a stand alone OC. Tango was purchased as an egg by a wealthy collector of avian creatures known as the Baron of Rocmoore. she grew up in near total isolation, dreaming of the world beyond, until she was forced to flee after the Baron was killed by one of his own beasts. despite her rough start, she's extremely friendly and curious, though she uses the fact that people see her as a child in order to manipulate them.
(I have more OCs than these four they're just the ones in my main rotation currently. the rest are on my art fight profile!)
I can't be bothered to find the thread rn. But there were a bunch of people talking about it, and I agree, so I'm sharing the idea here:
We need a death of the audience; lots of media gets worse because authors are too worried about a hypothetical audience. As someone engaging with media, you need to understand that you simply might not understand all of it, and that's ok. But also I think more authors need to realize that it's ok if not everyone in the audience will fully understand everything they're doing.
pov the two lesbians at the party who nearly started a public fist fight over the last spinach puff are now talking shit about the other party goers like nothing happened

you get to feel all the despair you want in this moment. but tomorrow morning you have to get up and resume the work. pick any of the above options. come up with your own meaningful ways to connect with the people around you so you all have support, no matter what happens in the future. give yourself something good to work towards.
gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem
girls are contributing, too. the coquette aesthetic, the “i don’t want to girlboss i want a man to pay my bills”, girlmath girljob girlmoney. it’s a joke, it’s clothes, it’s whatever, i get it but it is driving a mentality of traditional gender roles and you know you’re joking but your boyfriend doesn’t. your kid brother doesn’t. you have to stop this shit it is a contributing factor
