The underground empire of Mith-Sharorr is best known for its goddess, the Dame of Thorns. And her followers bear her symbols, clad in purple and burgundy, with roses and spines all over their attire. Areel was a fine example of Vyrthae's most devout inquisitors: He had even been blessed by her twisted roots, a mark of faith like none other.

So uhhh i finished this picture! Which I may have linearted in 2019 (fixed recently, then colored). I spent about 10 hours just to lineart that armor back then, only to never finish it. So uh, here's a very long term WIP dealt with. Areel (a drow paladin, oath of conquest) is an older character of mine, but I decided he deserved to be in this year's artfight!

The deadline was extended on @leidensygdom‘s dtiys challenge so I jumped on the opportunity to color this piece!

my part of an art trade with @leidensygdom. Areel! Rosey boye

The Rose Knight

Sketch of my drow paladin, Areel! I plan on finishing this one, but I honestly like it as a Sketch too. Linearting armor is always a bit of a burden! Anyways, it’s been a hot while since I drew him, but Areel is just a guy on a path to redemption currently. Started out as a baddie-of-sorts in my campaign, and now he’s trying his best to make up for, uh, his many years as an inquisitor of Vyrthae, the Lady of Thorns

FIRST ROUND [Sexyblorbo polls]: <br>Yxala Erant VS Areel Deneld

Yxala

Areel

Voting ended onFeb 8, 2023

Our first match brings two angsty paladins for you to choose from!

Yxala Erant is my current PC. She's been busy on a quest to save her two partners, one of which may be the current BBEG. Angsty, angry, and ready to kick God's ass for it.

Areel Deneld is a NPC in my campaign. He was a paladin of the Lady of Thorns, and has this whole rose motif to him. He had the mission to get his revolutionary brother to his side- However, he eneded up joining him in the end. Oops!

Vote your favourite, vote the sexiest, vote the funniest- Whatever. Reblog if you want to get more eyes into this poll! You can check more art of them in my blog by searching for their names~

throwback to this beefy drow dude pic which happened to be one of my most important pics in 2019

You asked for questions about your characters! I've recently returned to tumblr after a couple of years retirement from the ChaosTM and i remember back in the day you had a drow boy who had some kind of magical disease that was causing his body to decay? How's he doing? Always liked that guy.

Ohhh that's my guy Areel! I love him dearly, but he hasn't seen as much use in the current DnD campaign (he's there tho, on baby bro sitting duty). In my campaign (Gharmyra, the crystal-themed one), he kinda got unwillingly adopted by Yden. He came from Mith-Sharorr, the city up north (which has a lot of beef with the place he is currently living in), was supposed to find his brother and bring him back there, but it all backfired and he's now gotten adopted instead

His home city is a Lawful Evil sort of mess with a very nasty goddess obsessed with hierarchy and order, so he's kind of been getting therapy for what was a cult-like experience. At least, she stopped talking to him few years ago, which has been certainly convenient!

(Thank you for the ask! It makes me so happy when people remember characters that haven't been around for a while)

I don't have much art drive of late, so here's a throwback to a 2019 reference sheet that I kinda didn't finish! It's Areel's. The armor was hellish to design, but it's possibly the one I'm proudest of
