hi welcome to my blog. i draw characters and also [checks watch] apparently I do linocut now. so that's cool

here's a quick roster of my ocs in case anyone's curious. feel free to send an ask if you'd like to learn more about em :)

Kithri Threadburn / Mr. Goose

he/she halfling bard from a Curse of Strahd campaign that got cancelled. She has a "good ending" AU in a pocket dimension hanging out with her good buddy Carpenter. My blorbo supreme.

Carpenter

he/him tabaxi bard/rogue multiclass from a Baldur's Gate campaign that got cancelled. Emotional support animal for the aforementioned Kithri Threadburn. Health problems include alcoholism, a bad leg, anger issues, and a really cool blood curse

Sideways Teeth Coyote

he/him coyote with sideways teeth. came to me in a dream. vast lore on this one.

Gar

he/him Trophy Dark oneshot character who crawled into my brain and never left. Full time space miner part time ecoterrorist

714223 "Tiazze"

she/her Lancer PC who satisfies her gambling addiction by building increasingly dangerous nuclear reactors. For fun :)

Benjamin "Benji" Adrill

he/him paladin from a thoroughly Calvinballed version of DND 5e. Benji and his large insect adopted brother Sunshine are on the run from a bug cult.

Kelthazynir

AKA Kel or sometimes Zenith. any pronouns Outsider (Masks TTRPG) from a civilization of shape-shifting hiveminded/technopathic eels called the Paedryx. Kel was once shot in the chest by a police officer and is now a hated character on the in-universe Fox News. I draw a lot of characters from that game, including the PCs: Helix, Miracle, Crucible, Shrike, and Hercules, as well as one particular NPC by the name of Earthman.

Promise of Dreamless Sleep / Nola Selden

she/her Endings Sidereal (Exalted 3e TTRPG) who is more well-adjusted than I will ever draw her. Promise is a competent warrior who spends most of her free time finding more work to do or mourning the loss of her wife, who is not actually dead. Those familiar with Exalted 3e will understand what happened here.

Storosz

he/him satyr bard from the DND game I DM. One of three powerful ringleaders who answer directly to the BBEG. Storosz is the most charismatic of the three, even after the PCs melted half of his face. I fully believe he's got the chops to be a tumblr sexyman.

Forgot to post this! It's Tiazze in her Tokugawa. Ignoring all the pretty warning lights as always.

[happidragon]

they make such a subtle and cautious team

[happidragonsart]

oh this went up on the wrong blog. oops. well i cant be bothered to fix it

[happidragonsart]

Printed these a while back. The thing in its hand started as an orb, but then i decided it would be funnier if it was holding a CD instead.

[happidragonsart]

12x8in scrap patches for my various arts and crafts! I only made three this time instead of my usual 7 or 8 because of how ginormous these were

[happidragonsart]

got a nice big laugh out of the GM for this one

and then Kel started forgetting Selina's face while staring directly at her. we keep it real here at Masks

oh and also evil-Shrike ALMOST ripped out our Shrike's heart. that was cool

[plumknodel]

no more catboys. catmen . 28 yr old washed up depressed catman downing his 5th whiskey glass and his cat ears twitch depressedly

[lekosis]

And then he pushes the empty glass forlornly off the counter

[happidragonsart]

i'm experiencing tomodachi life vicariously through a friend who's putting all of our ttrpg characters in it. here are some of the highlights

[happidragonsart]

testing out a simplified design of goose's most complicated outfit. i think i like where this ended up. much closer to his original. sort of sausage shaped

[happidragonsart]

Lino patch tests with very very mixed results. Here's the good, the bad, and the blotchy.

A debt paid..... .... . .. ... .. .

[happidragonsart]

Linocut block commission for @fandom-and-stuff, based on an original design by @cadere-art! This was tricky to carve but a lot of fun :)

[happidragonsart]

behold. the bug! this is a design I adopted from @trebhum a while back, very pleased to bring it into the physical world with me :)

also tested some new ink colors but they were not nearly as clean and crisp as the black, I've hid those below the cut L O L

if you squint at the one on the right above you might be able to see that I tried my hand at a gradient......

[happidragonsart]

what do you mean I can't achieve growth solely through self flagellation. why not

[happidragonsart]

I did not expect to like linocut this much. oops!

[happidragonsart]

i linocut now :)
