I drew meself as a DnD character! Half-elf, druid/paladin of Silvanus, god of wild nature. 82 layers of self indulgence

[trickerdoodle]

Didn’t draw as much as I would’ve like but hey, between field school and depression and grant writing and losing a dear friend and taking calculus and pursuing honors in a STEM program where do you even find the time?

New sticker on my Redbubble!

Whenever things get bad I think of the mountains and pray for sunrise.

I finally finished staining my Bee Pot today! It'll be fired for the last time this week, and then it's being entered into an art show! Some of the best 30 hours of my life. [Image description: Three images of a large, hand-crafted terra cotta pot. It has been stained in burnt umber. Its surface is carved with a honeycomb pattern, with bees scattered across it.]

Get out and perform your civic booty

(Image description: A digital drawing of a pair of booty shorts on a slightly chubby, light skinned butt. The shorts are red and white, and across the butt the word VOTE is written out. The background is a field of red white and blue stars.)

Some folks got old souls

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My talents include making poorly animated gifs and continuing to not write my Space Grant essay.

[Animation description: Animation is a simple gif of a circle with the words OLD SOULS written next to it. Inside the circle, stylized images of June and Angus fade in a fade out one at a time. June is a young girl with reddish brown skin and long, black braided ponytails. She is wearing beige boots and a yellow sundress. She’s smiling. Angus is a young boy with dark brown skin and short, curly black hair. He’s wearing a red bow tie with a collared shirt, shorts, and knee high socks, with black shoes. He has a large-lensed pair of glasses, and is smiling.]

I almost broke my laptop drawing this huge-ass disaster of a recruitment poster. For two and a half months.

Image description written by @keplercryptids , who is a kind and generous soul, and deserves the world.

[ Image description: A drawing of the IPRE crew, standing shoulder-to-shoulder in order of height, at a slight diagonal so that they're all visible. Davenport, a light-skinned gnome with short orange hair and a thick mustache, is first, followed by: Merle, a dwarf with white hair, light brown skin and a long beard; Lucretia, a dark-complexioned woman with short curly white hair; Barry, a pale-complexioned man with short brown hair and glasses; Lup and Taako, twin elves with dark brown skin and blond hair highlighted with pink and blue streaks, respectively; and Magnus, a light-skinned man with shaggy brown hair. They're all wearing red IPRE uniforms. In front of them, it says "Join IPRE Today." "IPRE" is written inside its logo: a blue circle with a semicircle of smaller circles along the top and bottom in a rainbow gradient. The background is dark and filled with staticky stripes that partially cover the crew and the words.]

Master post of all the character art I’ve done for a podcast I love dearly called ChasmQuest. It’s small, it’s good, it’s about fifteen episodes in, it’s funny and independently run.

[the-mewrderus-duck]

And this art tellephone is finally done! Thank you @pandafrick @rich-stitches and @daydreaminggalaxys for participating! 

[trickerdoodle]

Heck yeah check out all the talented folks I got to work with!!

[trickerdoodle]

Who run the world?

Competent women.

Killian’s design draws inspiration from the cosplay of her that I threw together (stained trousers, multiple belts, leather arm guards, etc.) and also some self projections (body type, hairstyle, unshaved legs, etc.) because she’s very important to me.

[Image description: Image of Killian from The Adventure Zone. She’d a stockily built orc woman with olive green skin and numerous scars. She has an undercut pulled into a bun. She’s grinning as she fist pumps with one hand and holds her large crossbow with the other.]

I have absolutely no canonical evidence of this but I like to think that after Carey starts training Magnus in roguely ways she starts showing off how sneaky she can be even under sub optimal circumstances, and starts wearing pretty, clattering beads and a frilly butt cape (it’s cute, dammit, and I’ve been in a pleats mood). These items have no lowering effect on her stealth. 

[Image description: Image of Carey Fangbattle from The Adventure Zone. She’s a thin, blue scaled dragonborn woman with small, light yellow horns. She’s grinning as she brandishes two knives, one in each hand.]

Don’t give up on your faith in the midst of suffering, because the pain will remain, but it will then be pointless.

[trickerdoodle]

A lot of these other people you lookin' at To you, you describe as perfect So you point a finger at God and tell him to do his job And fix ya' life up cause nothin' is workin'

[trickerdoodle]

Let’s just watch this together.

[Image description: An image of John and Merle sitting on a beach at the water’s edge. They are small and out of focus. John is looking out at the water while Merle looks at him. The sun is setting over the water and the scene is cast in orange hues. The background is a picture looking over a sand dune at Lake Michigan at sunset.]

[trickerdoodle]

I cannot BELIEVE I forgot to upload my boy!

This is Arran, the half-elf paladin of Helm. He got zippity zapped on the forehead by an angry spirit when he was young and he’s blind in his left eye.

His mothers are the queens of a minor elven kingdom (His father was the high queen’s ex husband. He died in a minor border skirmish when Arran was fourteen.) He’s always been looked up to in his kingdom simply because of the position of his birth, and he’s never cared for it, so he set out to try and earn a name for himself.

His blind eye glows green when he casts holy magic.

BIG! SWORD! SMALL! GNOME!

[Image description: Image is of Davenport, a gnomish man with light skin and long red hair pulled back in a braid and wearing a billowing red jacket, viewed from behind as he grips the rigging of a sailing ship. In his right hand he holds the Flaming Poison Raging Sword of Doom, which is at least as long as he is tall, possibly larger. Unnatural wisps of green flame float off the blade. Davenport is facing the sun as it sets over the ocean, and is preparing to fight the tentacles of the Kraken that have beset his ship. The image in the background is of an orange sunset over Lake Superior.]

[trickerdoodle]

I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to buy this design in particular.

And you can.

Right here.

[Image description: Image shows a black spiral bound notebook with the words “Draw me like one of your French curves” in fancy lettering in white. The words frame the white silhouette of a French curve drafting tool.]

[trickerdoodle]

Looks like I’m a tad too late for @keplercryptids ‘s Sunday Night Beach Year but I have an embarrassing number of sunset beach pictures on my phone so I decided might as well (this is Lake Superior, taken April of 2017)

{Image description: Image shows Lup from the back as she looks out at the sun setting over a large body of water. The sun has nearly gone below the horizon, and vibrant colours paint the sky in the growing dusk. Lup is a slight elf with medium brown skin and long golden hair with red streaks. She;s wearing a two piece swimsuit that has a skirt and is floral patterned. Lup is drawn digitally, while the background beach is a photo.}
