Dawn Bringer Crew - Kressara

Second in our wacky crew is Kressara, our Sailing Master (for those who don’t do boats, that means she’s in charge of the sails, essentially). She’s an air genasi barbarian, an orphan, and a hardcore badass! Her weapon of choice is usually a broadsword of some kind, but she’s extremely dangerous with anything in her hands. She has a bit of a temper when she’s in the thick of battle, but otherwise is cool, calm, and collected. She’s loyal to a fault, protective, and is always happy to join in on fun when certain other crew members start it (we’ll get to that later).

This face right here is her I’m-going-to-enjoy-smashing-you-into-a-thousand-pieces face.

That’s about all I know of her. She worked on the docks until something better came along, and now she’s with us. If I know more, you’ll know more.

Dawn Bringer Crew - Harley Hartford

As promised, time for DnD campaign numero dos: Adventures of the Dawn Bringer. Our crew of crazies started on another ship under a wonderful captain named Araveen Moonlight, but after helping her find her father (who’d been missing and presumed dead for a decade) they were gifted a ship of their own, The Dawn Bringer!

This guy here is our First Mate, Harley. He’s a human warlock, which you know means he made a deal with some shady creature from the deep, but he doesn’t exactly know who or how it works. He’s from a wealthy family, but rarely gets home because he’s not on super cool terms with them (no idea the details, hasn’t come up yet). He had been travelling home on another ship a while back, and when that ship was destroyed in a storm, he drowned. He miraculously woke on Moonlight’s ship with no recollection of how he got there or how he was still alive, and—oh yeah! He also suddenly had these fancy-smancy magic powers that came out of nowhere, with a special connection to some sort of tentacled monster that talks in his head from time to time.

Uh huh. Not ominous at all.

He also was “gifted” this little squid friend named Killi, again, with no recollection as to how that happened.

We’re still waiting for that other shoe to drop.

Just for funzies, I put them all together. Now you can see what I mean when I say Isolde and Hurr really stand out in a crowd.

Next group of hooligans will be from another campaign called Adventures of the Dawn Bringer. Coming soon…

[hikaru202]

The Ties that Bind - Isolde

And finally we have my character, Isolde. She was my very first foray into DnD so her concept is pretty typical, but I’m obsessed with her, so I don’t care. She’s a drow rogue with an enormous chip on her shoulder. And in case you couldn’t tell from her face, she’s got a bit of an attitude problem. The world assumed she was a thief because of her skin, so she said “fine, I’ll be a thief! I’ll be the best damn thief the world has ever seen!” And here we are. Safe to say she’s definitely the one that causes the most trouble in our campaign, at least when it comes to inter-party relationships.

Since she’s my character, you’ll probably be seeing her a lot, so I won’t give away too much of her backstory just yet. Especially since most of it is unknown in the game so far.

I love her. She’s such a jerk and I love her.

-Hika

PS- Her tattoos are a work in progress. I’m still trying to figure out the design.

The Ties that Bind - Hurr Icane

Yes, his name is Hurr. Yes, it was supposed to be a play on (or repurposing of) the word “hurricane”. And yes, I mentioned how much better a name “Cane” would have been, but I was too late to the game and now here we are. And honestly, it’s better this way. You would not believe the amount of hijinx this stupid name conjures.

“It was her!”

“No it wasn’t.”

“No, her! Over there!”

“No, I’m right here.”

“Not you, Hurr! HER!”

“I’m confused.”

You get the idea.

Anywho, Hurr is our water genasi barbarian. Not very bright, but point him in the direction of a fight and he’ll end it quickly. As barbarians are want to do. He’s also very loyal and a terrific sailor.

We like Hurr.

The Ties that Bind - Loch McKay

Don’t get me started on that eyebrow. *SIGH*

This guy is Loch, our resident cleric and really cool shapeshifter. His natural form is technically like a white ghost or martian looking thing, but this is his preferred form (most of the time). He’s absolutely the only reason any of us are still alive. He’s also very chill, go-with-the-flow, so he doesn’t tend to stir up trouble or mind when someone else does.

And that concludes the red-headed portion of our group! I never realized until I put us all together just how much the next two stand out. You’ll see what I mean…

The Ties that Bind - Freya Watson

This pretty lady is Freya, our human wizard with a PHD in ancient studies and a very active libido. She’s a newer addition to our group. She and our next fellow discovered the rest of the troupe on a expedition to explore an old historical site. Long story.

She’s super smart, super brainy, AND super hot. A little impulsive, but nothing the group can’t handle so far. She also studies (and is proficient in) magic, despite it being dangerous. In this world, magic was thought to be myth, and if real, dangerous. So no one openly uses it in certain parts of the world. And those that do tend to go missing…

I know the picture doesn’t really portray her personality, but I’m hoping to do a better version of her in the near future.

-Hika

The Ties that Bind - Naveah

Up next is in our crazy little caravan is Naveah. She’s a wood elf, also a Druid, and she’s got a bit of a temper. To be fair, she’s used to living alone in the trees, so she doesn’t try to set things on fire, she just doesn’t always remember to watch out for other people.

Her tattoos took me a while to design. Super proud of them though.

-Hika

(Definitely forgot to draw her elf ears sticking out of her hair, but just SHHH okay?)

The Ties that Bind- Amber Dinkle

I’m on this site enough now, I figure I may as well post here too. So here we go!

This is from my first ever DnD campaign that started about 5 years ago called The Ties that Bind. It involves a group of ragtag people who get caught up in the nefarious schemes of power hungry monster named Aeothax. But more on that later.

This here is one of my friend’s characters, Amber Dinkle. She’s a hill dwarf Druid from a mining community in the mountains. She’s sweet, friendly, but extremely dangerous when she needs to be. She’s kinda the mama bear of the group (sometimes quite literally). We love Amber.

More Sonya. I got a new tablet so I was playing around with it.

[hikaru202]

Made a mandala for my grandma last year for Christmas. Took 6 months and was totally worth it. Grandma’s my hero. <3

(Feel free to color it if you’d like, just make sure to link me so I can see your work!)

Dusk till Dawn ~A TMNT Poem~

As the daylight fades in orange and yellow

A figure appears, a curious fellow.

Whirling his nunchuck and twirling his legs,

He watches the people and silently begs

For a time that might come when he won’t give a fright

By walking amongst them when the sun is still bright.

With a heart as gold as the rays of the sun,

He leaps off with a smile to find some fun.

 A new figure appears as the skies turn red,

He’s hungry for battle, and yet to be fed.

Crossing the roof with sai in his hand,

He looks over the city, surveying the land.

This is his home, and with fists clenched tight,

He swore to protect it, no matter the fight.

With a glint in his eye and a smile oh so smug,

He jumps to an alley to have words with a thug.

 The heavens turn purple as stars appear,

And out walks a tall, bright engineer.

Twirling his bo in the late evening breeze,

He observes all around him and writes what he sees.

The people, the lights, the buildings, the brick,

New York City, his intellectual picnic.

But when one special red-head catches his eye,

He leaps off to watch her. Not talk… too shy.

 Once the sun sets to a night dark and blue,

One more figure arrives to breathe fresh air too.

Slashing his swords with practice and skill,

He guards the surface, now almost too still.

But it’s not just the city that makes worry bud,

But also his brothers, his teammates, his blood.

An eye on his siblings, in the shadows he stays,

Keeping to his mission: protect them. Always.

 But when the sun rises, the figures have fled,

Back to the sewers, to home, and to bed.

The city above roars with life and new light

Unaware of the dangers fended off in the night.

The heroes remain as they always have been

Silent protectors. Ninja. Unseen.

But their legacy stands a grand sight to see,

A world full of people, safe, guarded, and free.

This was a poem I wrote for a contest on DA. The artwork belongs to Myrling (found here:  https://myrling.deviantart.com ) She’s an amazing artist with a fantastic sense of humour. I highly encourage everyone to check out her stuff.

Hi. I’m new. I don’t know how to arts, so critiques are always welcome. 

Soooo... I’m a huge comic geek, and this was the first OC I ever created. You’ll be seeing a lot of her. Her name is Jordan. She’s highly uncooperative. You learn to live with it (or tolerate it). Sort of. Maybe.  Yeah.
