Nate Nouveau

There’s a nude version of this on my furaffinity account, but I was really pleased with the overall design, and wanted to be able to post it elsewhere. Solution? Tell her to put on some clothes, I guess! We compromised on underwear.

Recently played through Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (an oldie but a GOODIE, OH BOY) with my fiance. This was his joke, but after I laughed about it daily for a week, I figured I was obligated to share it with the world.

Bonus: my absolute fav response:

[natenouveau]

Replaying through Fire Emblem Awakening and remembering why I love Lissa and Lon'qu so much. The perfect meeting of Unstoppable Intensity and Unswayable Silliness, wrapped up in that good good Princess And Her Guard romance.

Plus if you can honestly look at Owain and NOT think Lon’qu is his father, you have a far more flexible imagination than I do, my friend!

Our players went to a fancy party in Elden’s capitol, populated by the grown children of the High Families, Elden’s highest nobility. I’ve posted a few others, but here we have:

Kovail and Osett. Kovail, the youngest attendee, was mostly just excited to be out of his house and able to socialize for the evening. Osett deigned to attend this particular gathering for [redacted] reasons, but the chaos our players brought and encountered was amusing enough to be worth it.

My fiance and I designed these two (Dawn, and Dusk, two spirits sharing one body), so that we could trade off which of us is DMing vs which of us is playing. Ultimately we concluded that co-DMing works better, with us both planning and playing NPCs, but him doing the actual DM talking and mechanics, and me in charge of art. This meant my character (Dawn) was in control more often. EXCEPT!! In true DnD fashion, things veered WILDLY off the trail we expected, and now they've been separated out into two bodies again! 

So I had to update their art for individual roll20 tokens (and give Dawn a haircut).

Hien, we really need to talk about this misplaced guilt you’re projecting onto everybody else’s problems

So it turns out rarepairs motivate me to make fan content? I’m still baffled that these two are a rarepair after Shadowbringers. It’s not like they’re raising a teenager together or anything 

I imagine Urianger pining a little bit, before offering an “arrangement” or sorts-- but he thinks he’s gonna get shot down, and is a little overwhelmed when Thancred kisses him.

Bonus, once his brain catches up:

More NPCs for the fancy party our players went to. 

Here we have Lifaiyu (who just came to relax and did not get to relax) and Numar (who came to flirt and did not get to flirt). It was a tough night all around.

We threw a beholder at our DnD party this past week (edited to be more monkey-like, to fit with the setting of our homebrew world). I tried to give it some vine-like qualities to the stalks as well, but I ran out of time and can’t tell if it worked, or just looks veiny. I do love how the face came out, though!

And the fight itself was ridiculously intense!

I’ve been wanting to draw some art nouveau style character designs for a while, and finally remembered to while actually sitting in front of my computer. I love how this one came out!

Cigarettes freak me out but I love the aesthetic of long cigarette holders, so she’s using one to smoke weed instead.

((It seems like tumblr has borked up it’s image sizing again, and 540 pixel width only appears sharp if you post the image in a text post. So I guess we’re doing that now!))

Here we have:

Raikken, the Kken’s eldest son, and the current Regent of Elden. He enjoys entertaining company and the theater, and can often be found in the palace’s kitchens, indulging in his cooking hobby.

((Last time I posted these they were blurry so I’m reposting and trying something else to see if it’ll fix the problem.))

Here we have: 

Leiukken, the Kken’s second son, younger twin brother to the Regent of Elden. He can be found around the city of Arkais during the day and at extravagant parties for the grown children of nobility all night.

This was our players’ first glimpse of “the Isles” in our homebrew DnD game, located within a perpetual storm. The abandoned city on the central isle appears eternally embraced by the arms of an ancient temple to the Cloaked One. 

Our players nearly shipwrecked here, in their search for survivors of a previous shipwreck. I love DnD.

I was practicing drawing character portraits faster than usual, and I liked how this one came out!

Orikala, owner of a high end Bed and Breakfast type establishment in the city of Arkais.

Nentaath, eldest child and heir of the Taaths

Redesigned his outfit, and fixed his posture from the last time I drew him. I finally really love how he came out.
