I draw unapologetic self indulgence. Join me. 🌻
Currently working on: Zealoscope,
a comic I've been trying to start for ages
Zealoscope now has its own blog! : https://www.tumblr.com/settings/blog/zealoscopeofficial
Also, got myself a bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/jesuisfinni.bsky.social
Oh my GOD it's been almost a year, how y'all doing?
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! Not a huge post but I finally have art to share again, so there's that :D
p.s, might wanna turn the brightness down for this one, went a little nuts with the saturation
Updated Casey's design and wanted to actually make him look happy and whimsical for once. I don't know how to make the resolution better for the thumbnail but I promise it should look better full screen :')
So the party's in the final stretch of the campaign, and in the middle of yet another warzone. Ezra's face is permanently disfigured at this point and Garren hasn't seen them since the fighting started, so here's a very 'dramatic book cover-esque' rendition of how I think the reunion might go.
Can you tell I can't draw dragons for shit?
Anyway enjoy the art, trying out some more painting stuff with this one, still need to work on it but not entirely disappointed with the outcome 😌🤌
Probably should've done this one first since he's the MC but oh well.
This is the second last character sheet I want to get done before highgearing it into chapter 1 again, just need Ariana done but they're not turning out right and I can't for the life of me figure out why 🥲
Gabriel lore under cut
Gabriel set out on a self imposed mission; bring justice to those who pillaged his city. Separated from his people he seeks to find and end the ones responsible for the monsters that tore through the streets and left its citizens scarce, swearing to continue his journey as long as it takes.
His only problem is he has no clue what he's doing, but he's heard rumours of a Hunter that may be able to help him out.
Thanks for getting to the end! I don't know if anyone actually reads all of these but if you do I hope you enjoy them :)
A small glimpse on my take of dwarves, I picture them more like a burrowing species with large hands and rough pads for grip, they still like metals and gems though.
Character stuff below :D
Ainrune runs a tavern and inn with her parter Ariana called "The Titan's Chalice". She deals with most of the cooking and general upkeep of rooms but also supplies potions and medicine to travelers and hunters, sometimes trading for supplies that are harder to come by locally. Typically she doesn't like to get violent and her hammer is usually enough to intimidate the rowdier patrons into stepping down, but her hammer isn't just for show, her lack of scars is only proof of her skill and may the Gods have mercy on anyone who truly wishes to test it.
Keeping on track with comic work! Will maybe make a seperate blog for it all so the DnD stuff doesn't get too mixed in.
Hope you're enjoying these guys cuz there's definately more to come lol
I never noticed how bad the quality of my posts were until I started using desktop, I do apologise.
Miss Mask is a character from the same universe as Casey and Gabriel, and a couple of others I've posted about before. I'm hoping to start actually making progress in their whole story, so please hound me about it if you're interested, it'll remind me to actually do stuff :)
Character stuff below as always.
Less lore than normal on this one, purely because a lot of early stuff about her is spoiler-y though I'm sure it's fairly obvious if you've seen my other OC posts.
Miss Mask is a strange, mute monster hunter said to be the only one who knows the true origin of the ghastly beasts and other deadly creatures that have begun to emerge over the past decade. Little is known about her other than she is rarely seen without her scout bird Raven and that despite the fearsome tales of her kills she's surprisingly pleasant company, when she actually sticks around of course.
Loved designing her and Raven, hope you all enjoy the content!
Saw a bunch of pictures of people taking naps with cows and wanted to draw younger Ez with their family's ox Tiramisu (it was the only name they could all agree on because they all hate the actual desert).
Backstory shenanigans under the cut.
Despite initially only having her to get from one place to another, Tiramisu (Tira) quickly became a well loved member of Ezra's family. His dad would wild shape into a number of other animals to keep her company when she was feeling down and his mum would ensure she was always warm, well rested and healthy, treating her much like she would Ezra whenever cold weather or curfew came about.
Ezra very quickly got attached to Tira, they always loved animals but having a constant companion after years of moving around allowed a much stronger bond to form and despite not being able to wild shape like their dad, Ez and Tira had their own ways of communicating and often went off on their own adventures when the caravan was staying put for a while, almost always coming back needing a good wash.
A lot of the family's summer days were spent simply enjoying eachothers company before having to prepare to make for the cities during Autumn, and this is often how Ez and Tira could be found in the shade of trees or the nook of a hill.
That ramble went on way longer than intended lol, much thanks if you read it all 🙏
Reference used:
Clearly I don't draw animals enough, can never get them right 🙄
Wanted to do a bit of a study, ended up barely using references other than my own hand though so don't know if this counts lol
Ezra lost a finger last session and when Garren saw their hand for the first time he took it so softly and couldn't look away for a moment. This image immediately burned itself into my brain and I had to draw it 😌🤌
There should be more armour and blood in this one but I really wanted to keep it kind of tender and actually get a chance to draw all the nicks and scars Garren's hands have accumulated over the campaign. Might do a second, more accurate, version at some point as an actual scene or something but for now I choose the sawft.
Meet Rúnar/Elian, my genderfluid wild magic changeling!
Please ignore how flat this one looks I couldn't be bothered adding lighting at the time and it was just supposed to be a quick ref.
Rúnar is his main name but answers to either from his party.
More below as always if you're interested.
During the first meeting he was in disguise as the half-elf bard Elian. This charade was kept up for a while as another party member made it known that he was hunting a changeling right off the bat, and Rúnar very much wanted to live so she didn't really feel like exposing herself. Over the next few adventures the party got much closer and it was becoming harder for Rúnar to hide his true nature while maintaining the trust he and his friends now had, so he revealed himself to them and showed them the same trust they had shown him as Elian.
Thankfully everyone managed to survive the absolute gut wrench that was the arc finale, and now we're all off on a hopefully much happier pirate adventure for the next few sessions, y'know as a treat 🏴☠️
As per usual if you read the whole thing thank you so much for taking an interest in the chucklefucks I call my characters :)
Individual bits of character info under the cut for those interested!
Garren got some new non-combat clothes, hooray! Haven't drawn his new armour yet but I'll get there. And yes, the bandages are in fact there because he was shanked in the gut during his time as a Shadow Theives prisoner;
(Also, Ruby is one of the heads of the underground rebel group helping the teiflings, she gave everyone new clothes after they were rescued if they needed them)
Ezra went through a multiclass into Sorcerer, unknowingly due to a gold dragon ancestor on his dad's side. He also got some new clothes from his adoptive sister after she threw up on his old ones, definitely not the worst wake up they've had if you ignore the corpse of Thorin they slept next to but let's not get into that but unpleasant all the same;
(Ezra's is the only one that's a proper drawing cuz I was starting to forget how to do anything other than the 'doodle style' mockups lol)
The sister in question, Annabell! Most people just call her Bell though, she's a huge part of Ezra's story pre-campaign and I love her so much, she just the right amount of absolute bitch and hopelessly clingy, to the point where she's currently going a bit crazy with how much shit is going on and how little she feels she has control over, she may or may not also be the reason behind her and her brother waking up next to their fathers dead body. She just wants her family back together and to stay together man;
(And yes I drew this literally ages ago but only coloured it like a week ago so I figured I'd finally post it)
And finally we have Thorin... oh boy Thorin... he's been done so dirty since the party made it back to Crimmor. He's been left to rot for months, briefly rescued and reunited with his kids (Bell and Ezra) only to be brutally murdered in front of them while trying to help people escape a raid of their underground safe house, a short lived part in the campaign but pivotal to say the least;
(I already miss him so much, I am distraught over and over whenever I think about him, hope your happy DM 🥲🤌)
Thanks for taking the time to read through all my rambling lol, if you're curious about anything else to do with the characters or campaign ask away, I love talking about them and don't shut up about it irl.
Definitely not my usual style but something possessed me to draw something cute today I guess. So enjoy some happy, wholesome content as I can assure you this is so far from where the bois are at in the campaign rn. Pray for them 🥲
When your tiefling bard volunteers to babysit in the underground encampment of tiefling hideaways 🤙
I swear he's constantly on the verge of realising he wants kids. Love using his subconscious wanting to adopt as a way to annoy my DM and keep NPCs around way longer than planned, it's happened at least 3 times now.
Bit of plot and uncoloured version under the cut.
The party finally made it back to Crimmor, where they've been trying to get back to the whole 4 months they've been travelling, only to all instantly get separated. During their times apart Ezra and two of the others stumbled upon an underground rebel group which, among other things, are trying to help tieflings escape from the city and it's harsh treatment of them, which has gotten worse lately due to other events.
Amongst these hideaways were some kids who were trying to stay positive and play around, Ezra decided to join in and ended up with most of the group sitting around them, or on them, and listening to some of the dramatised tales of their adventures to get home.
Moved the text around and managed to paint out the book spine, couldn't do much about the messed up placement and proportions tho. 🥲
Temporarily back from the dead to bring you more gay content.
Ez and Garren taking a nice breather the night after a big dragon fight where Garren almost died.
More context below if u want it 😌🤌
After finally getting Tarson the dragon child home we had to face Mama Tiza (Teizapirath), Queen of the Storm. She was driven mad after her son was taken and so we set about trying to cure her madness while also staying alive. We managed to do so with the help of some sprites, who unfortunately are mostly dead now, and a fucking ki'rin who works for Garren's God Torm.
Garren ended up losing most of his right leg but thankfully survived in the end, along with the rest of the party thanks to some of his divine intervention, think I genuinely might've cried if anyone actually went down 🥲.
As it turns out, when she's not driven by madness induced vengeance, Tarson's mum is actually really sweet and she very quickly showed her grief about what she had become in her son's absence. Most of the party were just happy she and Tarson had eachother back and Luuki insisted Ezra summon the door to Mordekainen's Mansion so we could have a well deserved feast.
Eventually everyone retired for the night one way or another and Ez and Garren were more than happy to do nothing but cosy up and hold eachother, being mindful of Garren's very-much-aching leg of course.
There's definitely more to tell about this whole encounter but maybe that's for later lol
@0-0kappacino0-0 and I have been working on some projects and decided to make a blog to keep them all in one place, check it out if you want to but be warned; updates will most likely be far between until we find our real flow 😅
