Just something completely different. I wanted to practice some atmospheric painting style in photoshop and I directly used this beautiful dark watercolour picture of Katherine Lam as inspiration. Please check out their work. Its amazing!

These are “scenes” from Doctor Salomé’s (super secret) backstory, when he was a lot younger and living in Rexxentrum (the capital of the Dwendalian Empire).

This Wildemount Campaign is run by Maren.

Tinker Doctor Soldier Traitor…

My (Aasimar) Alchemist: Doctor Wistan Étienne Salomé for the Wildemount Campaign, run by Maren. This character is partly based on Stephen Maturin from the Aubrey/Maturin series. (Features are obviously based on Oscar Isaac, ‘cause he is very handsome)

As usual I started with just a couple of outfits for my dear doctor, but I have different stuff lined up. So maybe I have time soonish to post more (for now I’ll crawl back into my lair)

Introducing: Galápogo Oannes Salif, my Triton Blood Hunter character for an Icewind Dale campaign. They are one very grumpy fishperson with a great dislike for landwalkers.

(Abe Sapien from the Hellboy/B.P.R.D. comics has always been a fav character of mine, so I feel very lucky that I get to play my own creature of black lagoon this time :3)

Should have just posted these a long time ago…

Various portraits of players (myself included) in two different campaigns (Khorvaire & Wildemount). Some faces are based on actors/models and some are just made up. In Order: Rhinwed, Molik, Talti, Ibis, Callum, Efi, Talavar & Wistan.

I’ll post some more later!

The Duke of Im Figaro: Endeavour Yves, here to take back the Island with The Seekers in style

I wanted to draw my favorite Blood Hunter/Smoke Genasi character again but at LVL13 and in their Noble garb. They have the Shadow-touched Vestige: Condemner (Tal’Dorei Campaign book) and they recently received an ancient Claret Order scimitar. I am very lucky with my amazing Dm

Two D&D characters of mine. Sketches of outfits and their portraits.

First one is Anuket Kruidnagel, whom I play in the Waterdeep: Dragon Heist campaign. They are a Tiefling and a “Noble” Bard (College of Whispers). Anuket just likes to create mayhem, drink wine and occasionally solve crimes. 

The other is Ibis Clothaire, whom I play in an Eberron campaign. He is a Drow and Paladin (Oath of the Ancients). Ibis is a 200-year old hippy who lived through a horrible war. He plays the Qanûn with passion and just wants to bring the band back together.  

Both campaigns are hosted by the amazing Charredlore

^Images above are from the new series Undone, on Amazon Prime. You can view the trailer here. I don’t normally promote other projects I worked on, but I loved working on this beautiful surrealistic series. A lot of amazing illustrators, animators, and oil painters contributed to Undone. Go watch and enjoy the ride!

Introducing in an orderly fashion: WW, Fergus Rumblefoot and Flux

WW is the antagonist, although he thinks himself to be a good guy. Do NOT make a deal with this shifty bugger. Fergus is a Halfling Bard of the College of Swords (sneakily preparing to fling his hidden dagger at the enemy). Flux is a badass Ice Giant Barbarian.

Characters were commisioned by Noah! Thank you for letting me draw your awesome characters. It was a blast :)

Something in between commissions. A bunch of portraits I sketched for our Tal’dorei D&D group (Also known as Moree & the Genasi band). Drawing faces relaxes me….I will add more in the future.

In order: Arnuel and Raudraith, the snooty elven brothers before they turned into an air and fire Genasi. They were a bunch of a-holes.

- Our dear cleric Moree and my Blood hunter Yves, a reverse AU. Where Moree is a plant Genasi this time and Yves a plain ol’ noble human (quarter elf). 

-Two NPC’s played wonderfully by our DM Niko: Captain Thiasli and the very holy dwarven Lady Anatoli

-And then the two dads of Yves, Maturin (Halfling rogue) and Aubrey(Dwarf captain) -yes that’s a reference- and the mysterious Nelsora (human fighter).

Meet the wonderful Eila, a wood Elf and wild Druid of Fungi. 

Eila is awkward, nervous, but very kind and protective of her friends. She lived most of her life in the wilderness, with only animals and a giant spider as her friends. The focus of her abilities is keeping the balance of life and death through decomposition and decay magic.

Commisioned by Noah, for one of his fellow adventurers.

“This is my boyfriend Arnuel, and this is Arnuel’s girlfriend Moree, and that is her boyfriend Yves, and that is their boyfriend Raudraith and that back there is Rau’s GOOD BIRD Lady Chandrahas.”

^The Dm’s Dwarven merchant NPC: Anatoli explaining the result of a late night discord conversation, where the Roll20 group decided to marry each other. 

I’m not procrastinating! You are!
