My argument is FLAWLESS and my logic is sound. This is WHY I made Izen a drider. It was so he could be big and intimating and carry his homies around…

So ready to get this found family simulator GOING

Do you get together with your friends once a week to imagine best friends you made up holding and getting held in desperation and terror as one of them rapidly turns to stone, the other flooding her with his literal life force, which manifests as a visceral compulsion to survive, in the hopes that it will somehow help her resist, offering “the closest thing to a prayer he has” as he begs his warlock patron to do anything at all, telling said patron “you don’t know her, but she’s everything” and pleading for her to live while watching her literal actual light gradually extinguish as the petrification overtakes her, all the while she is using what little mobility she still has to hurl lasers at the monsters attacking their friends who are defending them so he can focus his energy on saving her. Or are you normal

@justabitscrewy used every single one of her turns in a session-long combat to hold Phaela and RP her guts out and like. My word. I have to lay down. Let them hug. They’re goin thru it

ID and slightly more context below the cut

Image 1: a roughly sketched digital drawing of two D&D characters. Izen, a drider, is shown in his form of dread, a defensive state designed to frighten off attackers. In this form his face is bare skull, with four pairs of hollow eye sockets and purple mandibles on either side of his jaw. Tears run down the stark bone of his face. He is wearing the bracers that Phaela decorated for him by wrapping them in ribbon. With both hands, he holds Phaela’s face. She is a tiefling woman who looks up at him with wide eyes. Izen’s prized possession, a talisman secured by a ring of straps, is wrapped around her shoulders. Her chin is tilted up as if the stone spreading up her body is a rising tide she is trying to stay afloat in. She is petrified up to her neck with only her head and extended left arm free. Both are suffused by a starry blue glow, which is no longer present in the dull stone overtaking her. She holds starlight in her free hand that she has been trying to defend them with. Her expression is a mixture of desperation, determination, fear, and guilt.

Images 2 and 3: a roughly sketched comic. 1) Izen faces us. Phaela wraps her arms around him with her back to us, her head pressed into his chest and shoulders hunched. His hands rest on her back. 2) Izen bends down to hug Phaela properly, wrapping his arms around her and resting his head on her shoulder. His pedipalps also wrap around her for extra huggage. 3) Izen straightens and lifts Phaela up off the ground, his pedipalps forming a sort of platform that she sits on. 4) Phaela curls into Izen like a child, tail hanging limply down. One of his hands securely circles her back, the other rests on the back of her neck. He rests his head on her shoulder and one of his spider legs comes forward to hold her as well. Maximizing points of contact here. 5) Phaela wildshapes into a cat just to get super extra held. She is nestled in his arms, tucked under his chin, being gently stroked. Her face is still not visible.

Finally, some Engine of Epic banner art to kick off my (several months late) 2024 Art Blitz!

It was my new years resolution to do a couple things: Draw every day, post (to insta) once a week, and finish a project by the end of the year. I have kept up with those first two so far...

Of course, I hate keeping promises, so instead of finishing one project by the end of the year, I plan to start maybe half a dozen or so over the next few months. Of course, I have more ideas for projects than actual time (all characters represented here all have a story attached, and there are many more where these came from); That's where you (hopefully) come in!

How I proceed with these potential projects largely depends on the response on each of them. If something takes off, I might drop everything else to work on it— but that seems unlikely to happen considering I have a whopping double digit followerbase of a community (yes, across platforms lol). I will be polling you lucky few on what ya'd like to see first, since that only seems fair! When IF that inevitably gets no interaction (because, let's face it, I haven't really given a reason for people to a give a damn yet), I will consult my backup plan instead.

Here's to a happy blitzing. Cheers.
