Well I definitely did NOT mean to finish this before Halloween, and also totally didn’t NOT finish it after and then completely forget to post it anywhere. That would be absurd. Anyway, here’s Gert, eating a little bit of some poor sod’s soul! Always good to have a little sneaky snack…

Grimm got himself a proper glow up! Rather literally, in fact. Remembered his other pair of wings, got a fancy new set of plate armor like a good paladin should… Really going places in the crumbling hellscape of a reality he inhabits!

[lessamickable]

So here’s a nerdy joke that spiraled way out of control and somehow became worth an actual post. To make a longer story short, Grimm’s a homebrew paladin subclass that has an aura where allies automatically succeed their concentration saving throws. My DM asked jokingly if that meant he’s actually just the lofi girl, then promptly requested I draw that. So, several weeks later, here we are.

He’s writing down all his current thoughts.

A little thank you gift for a friend of her BG3 cleric and Shadowheart! I alllllllllmost got it done in time to post on Valentine’s Day, but then I didn’t, and waited another half a week to post after I did finish. 😂 Anyway, enjoy some Gals Definitely Just Being Pals!

Forgot to post @sbrucart ‘s birthday present from the summer, oops! Vero, my forever love…

Exie’s best friend had a whole heroic ‘sacrifice herself to save her people moment’ last week and it left Exie a complete mess, so she asked her mom to paint a portrait of her. (Aka I finally test out my watercolor brushes 4 years after getting them)

[lessamickable]

Since Exie was originally inspired by classic pinup girls, I thought it would only be fitting to do some redraws of her in the style!

These are reffed from a piece by Gil Elvgren and a piece by George Petty!

Happy birthday @itsalola07 ! 💞

What do you call a downcast seraph who falls in love with a dead girl? ‘Cause I named mine Grimm.

He might look pensive and thoughtful here, but in reality he’s currently a delightfully cringe fail amnesiac who only just achieved 10 INT (aka he’s a paladin). Gertie the ghost is another PC!

How’s some surprise band!au nonsense as a late Monday pick-me-up after like a year of nothing? Mads is—as usual—Mads, and the chair is Seb, Pucker Up’s drummer.

[lessamickable]

I can’t believe I forgot to share this before now but Mads turned 10 this November so I drew her being unhappy! As usual.

A birthday gift for Zee! And even posted on time 😱

Cad’s campaign (tyranny of dragons) finished up a few months ago and even though I had just designed his armor, I decided it wasn’t good enough and redid it 😂.

A recent birthday gift for a friend!

Wow I truly haven’t posted anything to tumblr in ages. I also haven’t been drawing in ages, but slightly less of an age, so I’ll chuck some new art up to celebrate my homecoming, and bury some of my older stuff in the feed. Here’s a dump of my d&d designs I’ve picked at on and off of the two characters I’ve been actively playing the most! Excellence (Exie), my darling archfey patron bardlock tiefling menace (+ her sailor dilf who I never finished the tattoos of) and Cadric, who’s successfully graduated from Some Dude to a full grown, big boy paladin of Torm (+ a bonus of the rogue who thieved the heart right out of his chest).

The Twins 🌞🌛

More band!au work, coinciding with my biannual drawing of Cal, who never gets any love from me, despite having the same face as Mads. Also that is absolutely her jacket he’s wearing, that some poor stylist had to painstakingly remove all the pins and patches from so it could fit with his carefully crafted pop image. Mads, however, refused to flip her guitar strap for the shoot, and just pointed to it anytime someone suggested she might.

And here’s an alt color scheme that I liked but didn’t fit the vibe I was going for!

[mickeymooose]

Some band!au development sketches of Miss Mads and her body of tats! I’ll be doing some more from this au after I finish comm work bc I wuv it, but here’s some lore snippets for now!

~

Mads is a guitarist in Nat’s punk/hard rock band, Pucker Up 💋, a teenage runaway with a bad attitude but remarkable musical talent. Her father owns a a very rich record label and she’s got a chip on her shoulder because she and her brother were being groomed for stardom from a young age. About ten years down the line, Pucker Up splits up, and she just floats for a while, playing tour guitarist for a few bands, and doing some freelance work. She eventually gets healthy and clean, but she always keeps her disdain for fame and the Hollywood machine, and famously refuses to do any interviews or use any social media. She’ll ham it up for the crowds but is notoriously private off stage.

.

Callum, on the other hand, stuck to their father’s wishes and (with a clear advantage) soared to popularity as a Top Heartthrob Pop Singer tm, with a good voice but little to no control over his music, image or life. Half a decade into his career, he tracks down his wayward sister and they reconcile and record an album together, to an uproar of shock at the sibling revelation from both their fanbases.

.

Nat’s still a bitch in any universe, and is her usual backstabbing, self serving manipulative self, eventually leading to to break up of her own band. She’s the cause of a good chunk of Mads’ bad habits and coping mechanisms.

Felix is an immensely famous country rock legend who’s done very successful genre hopping crossovers. He’s less bothered about genre party lines and just likes making music, and frequently collaborates just to be a part of the process. He plays and owns a surprising number of instruments. He meets Mads backstage at a music festival when she’s still playing with Pucker Up and they have a jam/writing session and become fast, if unlikely and flirtatious friends. They eventually do an album together under the duo name ‘Crossroads’. It’s long debated and rumored whether they’re together or not (or less popularly, that they’re each other’s beards) but they never acknowledge it. One day John Felix starts wearing what people assume is a wedding band but he refuses to clarify whether it is or to whom he might be married. (He can’t help but smile when asked, though)
