weeeelcooooome to Barooooviaaaa- more npc art because I'm a sick and twisted dm who likes to reflavor, mix 'n mash CoS:Reloaded like I know what I'm doing. Only thing I know is me and my players are having fun and that's what matters 🗿 starring:
Dinu (Doru), crawling in the basement + portrait;
Tatyana "Tathy", not the Federovna one! She's a player's oc, I LOVE putting my player's characters in my games as npcs and cameos 10/10 recommend it for the reaction alone 😏;
Pickleplum (Parriwimple). She's a girl and a minotaur now, a hothead and the fakest idgafer in Barovia village;
Radamir (Rahadin), Strahd's bestie and Ravenloft's actual dilf
the wild beyond the witchlight is a criminally underrated 5e module nghghhhhh everytime I browse the tag it's all avantris and like. I LOVE legend of avantris but the module AS IS is also incredibly funny and charming and cool???? I literally love every single npc??? Talavan? Agdon? The hags??? THE CARNIVAL TROUPE?!? we need more Thaco The Happy Clown fanart in this world. The runaway kids oh gosh my son Wyll!!! (mid spoilers- he is an actual kid in our campaign) we need to start giving Prismeer the same love Barovia gets. I KNOWww the goth adventure has like 40 years of history behind it but pleaseee let's hype the campy fey module too aaaaa
also my girl Gilda because that's my current twbtw pc ^^ (and Neo but only because he shares "cool eyepatch" trait with Miska)
Some more npc portraits I made for my homebrew'd CoS campaign! My players just got to the village of Barovia and met a bunch of new faces- plus Churro the demon clown because I didn't post his portrait last time. Check out names and info on each pic's text description :9
Made a portrait of Barov von Zarovich II and Ravenovia van Roeyen for my CoS campaign :^) I might actually turn this full digital color, I love the result!
Her crown is based on the Pahlavi Crown of Persia (because Ravenovia is west asian in my campaign, born Rayhana and picked a western name after marriage) while Barov's is mostly copied from the Imperial Crown of Russia. Feel free to use in your private game! Do NOT feed to ai please
I am a very dangerous individual for my sleep schedule: a game master who can draw.
DEVIL'S SUNGLASSES, a unique artefact my players possess and have yet to check out! Yes they are, in fact, a devil's sunglasses. Message me in private if you want to know its magical properties, or make your own! Feel free to use this image in your own game if you somehow need an extremely kitsch pair of sunglasses. Not very fantasy-esque, but that's the aesthetic of the real owner in my game.
A little art I made for my homebrew'd CoS:Reloaded campaign! The result of Gustav Durst's first failed marriage, miss Ginevra Amakiir- and her beloved cat Gin, portrayed in a little oval frame.
For more info on Ginevra and the og painting, see belowww. Spoilers for the first chapter of CoS I suppose
Nowadays, they're a hag and her f- familiar :) my players know this since she's an old oc of mine, but their characters have NO IDEA what happened to that tiefling girl confined in her room. Rose and Thorn remember fondly their smart half-sister who secretly taught them cantrips- again, I'm mastering Dragnacarta's Reloaded CoS so they know cantrips- and her grumpy cat. She was way older than Rose, so when she turned 18 she packed her stuff and left the Durst house to go study magic outside of Barovia. She was a woman AND a tiefling living centuries ago, so you can imagine there were very few institutions willing to accept her despite her being rich. So yeah she left Barovia just a few years before Strahd ruined everything for everyone.
>Gin the cat: actually an imp Ginevra summoned herself at the age of 6. She was an academic prodigy, already casting simple cantrips at 4. Her mother Amelia cheerfully encouraged her studies, her loser of a father Gustav... not so much. "The practice of the arcane arts is an improper activity for a lady" he would say. Gosh I love making my players hate an npc so much.
>How did she get to Barovia in the first place? Her mother, Amelia Amakiir, was an officer during a great war of my homebrew setting. Ginevra was living in a girls' boarding school, in a completely different region, until that city came under siege. Amelia immediately had her daughter relocated to her father's house, in a safe valley in the north: Barovia. It was supposed to be a temporary solution, but unfortunately Amelia perished in battle soon after and Ginevra had nowhere else to go. Gustav was bound by the law to keep his daughter, and so he, and his new wife Elizabeth Wachter, resentfully did.
I was going through a bit of an ugly artblock when I wanted to make her portrait, so I literally googled Oval Portrait Girl With Cat and painted over one. It's okay, it's for a personal dnd game! I'm not even signing it. Here's full credit to the gorgeous original piece:
OIL ON CANVAS - American 1850s Portrait of Little Girl in a White Chiffon Dress & Coral Necklace, holding her tabby cat with crossed arms. Unknown artist?

Did a little challenge with my friends in which we had to draw our most recent pulls in CR:K but as humans- one common, one rare and one epic (or higher rank). I'm very happy with the pose but I grew tired of polishing and rendering quickly hehe
