Started on this one a few months back, and after redrawing it about a million times I finally got it essentially how I first imagined it.

We celebrated Eunice's birthday in game just before I started this image, and Younz's best friend in the party made her a stained glass pear window (I rolled a Nat 20 on what Eunice thought of pears when we first got them in our wholesale ration shopping, and it's been a thing since, lol). It was decided Eunice would get it installed in her room at the party's tower, above the special order xxlarge bed, and I just thought of her being happy and content in space made for her. And bein able to share it with her feller once all this Ordining mess is settled would just be a little dream. And this scene just popped in my head and I had to try and capture it. (this is going to fall into the void... but gonna post this one here as well out of sheer stubbornness.)

Have some more saccharine fluff.

Trying to just doodle whatever I'm feeling, not stress about perfection, and just freaking post. Traditional pencil with quick color on phone.

We finished some downtime in Waterdeep last session, and Eunice found her self a man. She ain't never had one of those before. And this one's perfect. No notes.

He's a Goliath named Nauvek Stagleader Thulavi, and he was scouted to play professional Buzkashi. Instead of a horse he rides a large Elk named Macy.

Sketch of Stagleader I did in my sketchbook during lightbakes today. Tossed some color on on my phone during ride home.

Ref sheet for Stagleader, Eunice's long distance boyfriend; they have a sending stone set... so they can talk a total of 50 words a day to each other. Ah, the romance. (They did also get to spend about 2 months of downtime and Midsummer together too.)

He's a side NPC so not a lot of development, but he is a professional Buzkashi player(my DM, who spent a few years in Mongolia overlaid it onto my mentioning this randomly rolled up romance option could be a Goat Ball player). Instead of riding a horse in the game, his steed is a elk doe named Macy. He likes to use big words, and paces often. He's a big ol' sweetheart and, of course, a hunk.

Tiedown for a WIP. Sometimes you gotta take a break from rendering badass blorbos and instead draw blorbos kissing.

I keep trying to put clothes on this boy and it keeps just looking wrong. Like some sin against nature.
