This mini comic features Orion my tiefling bard, and Kahriq the half-elf cleric. Kahriq became a dragon after falling for Orion, and this is their hypothetical future, traveling around together and saving little adventurers.
If you liked this cute little comic you could pop me a tip on Ko-fi!

One of the best compliments I receive is when my DnD group forgets that I’m playing both characters in an exchange.
We’ve been playing with the same DM for years and have legacy characters that pop in sometimes but also in our last campaign I took over a really pivotal NPC in order to romance my wife harder. So I end up having a lot of talking to myself scenes because characters need to resolve their differences or bond.
I initially worried about having conversations with myself but my party is always excited about it and routinely forget that I’m both people. They view my characters as discrete entities and I think that’s just about the highest praise imaginable.
Today when discussing a book scene my beloved said, “I’m excited to put in Nastya yelling at Orion, we didn’t get that in game.” In game the party watched Nastya chewing out Orion and I described body language because the content of the argument was secret and because their accents are hard to switch between.
“Yeah, I didn’t have the fortitude for that one.”
My wife paused before going, “Oh yeahhhh, both of them are you. I forgot.”
Guiltily carving out some time for personal art of Orion today
Finally finished this because my beloved has been begging and pleading for a new lock screen so this is our DnD characters Orion and Kahriq snuggled up in dragon form.
It is so precious to me that it is in fact up in my Redbubble in case you need to dragon soulmates having a little cuddle after saving the world.
Some coping art with Orion and Kahriq utilizing some old timey references I had laying around that I just... tweaked a little.
Instead of doing something spooky I finished up an old WIP of Kahriq and Orion.
After Orion admitted to being a spy it took a while for Kahriq to trust them again, but when she did they took her for a beautiful sunrise swim among a coral reef.
One of my favorite DnD things is that my beloved and I have been playing with the same DM since 2017. We’ve had several campaigns within the same setting and our old characters often make appearances.
NPCs are consistent and it’s funny that one party might have a positive relationship with someone only for the next campaigns party to struggle with that person.
Our previous campaign was a party called The Storm Giants: my fighter centaur, my beloved’s drow monk, our cleric luxodon, and a rogue tiefling. But while playing in that setting the DM was also in talks with my beloved and I about our next characters.
See, he had already broached the idea of letting me play a secret dragon, a character who would join the party in their mortal form to spy on my beloveds upcoming character. I was only a little dragon for balance reasons, so I wasn’t OP. I was so excited to play Orion, a gender-fluid tiefling courtesan chock full of secrets.
Together the DM and I were plotting out my characters family and backstory while the current party was stumbling through their adventure. That meant that I got inside information on who we were interacting with who were also dragons in disguise.
My centaur was all for ambushing an NPC giving us trouble, when I secretly knew that we absolutely should not do that because he was in fact an ancient dragon. We also ended up passing a brothel and my centaur went to see a sex worker. The party joked it should be Orion as it was common knowledge my upcoming character was a sex worker. The DM and I made eye contact.
It would be incredibly fitting for Orion to be spying on the Storm Giants for their boss, and my centaur was a huge blabbermouth. So the joke ended up manifesting, Orion got an off screen cameo and the party was jumped shortly afterward for being a nuisance to the blue chroma and couldn’t figure out how the enemy knew so much about them.
But the best was that at one point the party was sailing through the region that the DM and I had established would be where Orion grew up, and where their moms, ancient blue and brass dragons, still lived. It was a beautiful tropical archipelago.
Our cleric, Joe, decided to go swimming. While deep underwater he came eye to eye with an ancient blue dragon who blinked then swam away.
The Storm Giants flipped the fuck out. Why was there an ancient dragon?? Were we supposed to go track down an ancient dragon? What had it been up to?!?!?
The DM gave me a tiny secret smile and I knew he was just foreshadowing Orion’s origin but the Storm Giants were pissing themselves over it. A year and a half later the party screamed when they realized what had happened.
Wanted to post a WIP of my beloved and I's characters having a little dragon cuddle. Not so many commissions to keep me busy so I make nerdy art just for me.
So here’s Orion and Kahriq cuddling before bed.
