Strawbebe Arts

Art side blog! I'm trying to draw more, mostly character portraits. I like dnd/fantasy and cute things. I'm currently working on an original generation of New Zealand pokemon! I'm relatively new to the online art scene but I've been drawing for years. Find me at https://strawbebeart.carrd.co

Saw an art challenge elsewhere that said 'post boob' and realised I didn't actually have any boob to post! I've just been drawing boys kissing! I'm a terrible lesbian! So of course I drew my dnd character Seraph (had to censor for tumblr so sorry you don't get to see her cute boobs).

Snippets from the sketch page I did to go with my most recent and nasty wangxian fic. Hopefully this isn't too explicit for tumblr, because I've been punished a lot lately for posting too sexy art. I'm alive just hidden!

Cursed idea came to me as I lay in bed last night... Anyway here's everyone's favourite little wet guy! If this means anything to you... sorry about your back pain.

"I'm not trapped in here with you... You're trapped in here with me."

Occasionally I like to sketch out particularly awesome moments from our dnd sessions. We recently reached Epic tier and our gnome ardent became specifically geared to take down demons - the topaz in her forehead glows in their presence, kind of like Sting. Room full of demons 10x her size? She calls that Lunch.

Also I wanted to play with light and it was fun!

[strawbebearts]

Apparently it's Kiss Day! 💋 So obviously I drew wangxian because I'm Normal about them. I'm not getting any but at least they can!

You know the best thing about head shots? Can't screw up the proportion to the body 🥲🥲

It's coming up fast on Artfight season so I finally, finally finished this reference portrait of my oc of all time, Seraph! I've been playing Seraph for almost eight years and she's everything to me (if anyone draws her this year it'll be artfight made).

I started this drawing about a year ago but when I realised I wouldn't be able to play artfight because it was right in the middle of my moving period I got depressed and didn't finish it. There's something janky about the proportions but I'm so glad I've done it, this is the first proper art I've done of her since her transformation where she got her hair!

With their heads so close together, Lan Wangji's voice was right next to his ear, low and magnetic. Wei Wuxian's hand trembled slightly, and the book nearly slipped from his grip. With some difficulty, he collected himself and forced himself to tear his eyes away from Lan Wangji's long, fair, slender fingers.

This is one of my favourite scenes from the book, the first moment Wei Wuxian really gets flustered by Lan Zhan. It's so cute! I've wanted to draw it for ages.

I've still got a lot to work on - in particular, I always make the heads too big! But there are a lot of elements of this I really like. What do you think?

Wangxian WIP! Hopefully will be all coloured tomorrow! (shouldn't take long but it's 3.30am... oops...)

Oh my god, I'm so glad to finally share this with you all! Years ago I saw this beautiful piece of Critical Role art by Kamiareo of Vex and Vax's bedroom, and it became my favourite piece of fanart of anything, ever (although it might be official art?), and I immediately wanted to do a similar thing for my own dnd character. Last year I finally felt ready to tackle it, and I started creating a bedroom illustration for my character Seraph. Every detail in this drawing is either a reference to her personal story or the campaign we're playing in. It was so much fun! It's taken me over six months of on-and-off work, I have no idea what the hour count would be but it's by far the most ambitious single piece I've ever done. There were so many lines (and text boxes!) and the angles had to be absolutely perfect, omg! Seeing it come together has been so satisfying.

Finished commission of Yselyn Smokepetal!! She's a satyr sorceress with a talent for archery 🌸🏹🌿

I'm back with the final illustration to go with my MDZS gaming au longfic (smut warning)!!! We have a beautiful dragonji for your viewing pleasure (and I really am happy with this one... yay for me!). Winged and wingless versions since Chinese dragons don't have wings but the wings were an aesthetic choice for story reasons. The opaline scaling on his shoulders didn't work all that well, but I had fun with it - I do think it looks pretty good on his tail! The fully nude version is on my bluesky 🫣

I can finally post this piece I did for @moonlitguild , featuring Relent (my air genasi/eladrin druid/cleric) and Urion (my drow/earth genasi cleric)! This piece was REALLY hard and I spent approximately one william years on the lines, but I'm pretty pleased with the result. Sometimes you gotta be self-indulgent and enjoy two blorbos living their best post-campaign life!
