Tána of the Onyx Seers

Another finished artwork and another NPC of my Pathfinder campaign, this is Tána, the dead(?) necromancer lover of @parttime-creative's current PC Atánasya. She showed up in the last session dissecting a devil's corpse 🥰

If you're still accepting prompts: Sabil and Nadya, they ran away together and became pirates AU pls?

Nadya's finger tips lightly caressed the cut on Sabil's cheek, that closed as light poured from her fingers without leaving so much as a scar. When the light subsided Nadya's hand didn't leave, but cupped her cheek tenderly. Without hesitation, their lips met, the kiss tasting of salt, freedom and dreams.

Excuse me darling I think you meant to say that you had the most brilliant thought

I had a stupid thought and it turned out better than expected 😂

It's Nadya (White fox) and her alter ego Riya (red fox) the character of @flowercrown-bard from our pathfinder campaign run by @dhwty-writes

It's dumb, but I am loving it 😂

My Kira now finally has her girlfriend in her pockets 😂

Durrab, the Shadow Thief.

I am really struggling with color sometimes, but I befriended some very nice art students who were willing to give me some pointers and this is my practice piece.

Alternate version from before fucking with the color settings under the cut.

New arc, new art!

I have had the absolute pleasure of drawing my awesome girlfriend @flowercrown-bard's character she is playing in my Pathfinder campaign for the new arc we are kicking off.

For more infos/close-ups look under the cut!

For a bit of context: this character's name is Nadya and she is an oracle on the run from her duties to her home country. While over the course of the last few months she has come to accept her oracular powers, she is now at odds with a lot of the gods that send her dreams. Mainly because they did not intervene as her crush (@parttime-creative's character) died in front of her. Instead she has chose to embrace four of her Banished Deities that are widely regarded as evil. So, a while ago I asked flower if she tought that warranted a costume change and this is what we cooked up as we are about to head into the Shadow Plane.

One thought that I had was that every one of the Banished Gods should be reflected in the outfit somehow. The first is the Prince of Chains with the chain pattern on the bodysuit. The second is the Iron Maiden, represented by the sword earring and the chain connecting it to the cuff. Thirdly, the corset represents the Flowerbringer with the black thorns and orange (burning) and blue (frozen) roses. Last is Fools' Mirror with little pieces of mirror on the jacket as well as the button in the form of an owl's head.

I also tried to show each of her magic items. The staff is the Staff of Radiance (very useful in the Shadow Plane). The two necklaces are an Amulet of Natural Armor (the scaly one) and a Necklace of Fireballs with one charge left. Lastly, the green shawl is a Shawl of Lifekeeping, courtesy of partttime-creative's late character Kira. The only items missing are rings you wouldn't see as well as gloves I was too lazy to draw.

Tesuthu, the Skywarden

I did something that I normally don't do and that was paint!

This is Tesuthu, another of the Gods of my Pathfinder World Bacreia. He is the god of the sun, surprises and time, but also a god of agriculture, healing, and the creator of halflings. He is known to be the defender of the horizon. He's a,so morphed I to some kind if surfer dude.

I had a bunch of fun drawing him, it was completely different than what I normally do and also than the gory drawings I did lately. Maybe I'll get around to drawing more Gods, but we'll see!

i just finished running kind of a crazy thing: a while back one of my players' characters (Kira, @parttime-creative's character) died and we had the plan to bring her back as a valkyrie. We finally did the session where that happened and they ran through a gauntlet of 5 different challenges they had to overcome to ascend. The twist: this was a game with 5 GMs and one player. To prevent my players from getting bored I had each of them (plus a friend) hop into the hot seat and run our sole player through it. It took six and a half hours but we did it and next session we're finally gonna have our full party again!

The Lady Fear, Goddess of Gods.

My players are currently exploring an ancient devils' abbey that is, among others, dedicated to this goddess who may or may not be more ancient and powerful than all the other gods.

I had a blast thinking about how to include all of her subdomains (fur, moon, caves, smoke, ash, greed, ice).

Below the cut are lineart, closeups, and a poem by @flowercrown-bard that inspired me to try and draw her in the first place.

Who is she, that lady fair, Sweet company in my dispair? How can i give a name to her, who we all know so well? Whose absence isn't heaven, but whose presence nothing but hell.

I cannot speak the name of her, who takes away my voice. In mercy she's who takes my choice and guides me when my body fails When i am naught but moans and wails When trembles put my hands in shackles And all my hackles rise Then she is there, controlling me Leading me through demise.

No, no name i have for her, Yet words i have to spare

She is the changing of the moon, That light withdrawn slow at first, then all too soon Gone.

She is the cave of ribs and flesh In which your breath is caught The echo of your racing heart Escape would be for Naught

She is the smoke that herolds all Destruction yet to come The growing dread that starts so small Till it's blaze can't be undone

She is the ash that's left behind When you have pushed away The ones you burned so brightly for Now shr is all that Stays

She is the greed, the wanting all The joy you need to live. And in return, so mercyfull, More pain is what she gives

She is the blood that turns to ice Inside your body now Would it be better if you thawed or cracked in terror's Maw?

You might have guess the name of her, My cruel lady fair, And recognized her sweet embrace As your own latest fear.

The difference of two and a half years

Out of all of the characters in my campaign I've had the pleasure of drawing @flowercrown-bard's character Nadya/Riya/Idhimakya the most. I really enjoy seeing how this character evolved over the course of the campaign as well as in what ways she has stayed the same. It also shows how my art style has changed in the same time.

Welkirak Zarâtkirak

Another NPC of my Pathfinder campaign, an ancient valkyrie and the ancestor of @parttime-creative PC Kira. I've been sitting on her for just about 3 years and tomorrow we finally get to meet her in person.

Since Kira died a while ago, we can finally set about bringing her back - so for tomorrow I'm looking forward to a session with 5 GMs and 1 player as we shepherd Kira on her way to becoming a valkyrie herself

His reverend brilliance, Selvik of Nüthel, the Second Oracle of Veja, Oracle of Time.

Another finished drawing and another NPC of my Pathfinder campaign. He hasn't even appeared yet, but I've written a bunch of lore about him. He's part of a legendary group of oracles that freed their home peninsula from different imperialist rules.

I think we might come close to meeting him soon and I am very much looking forward to it!

Doodle from last night's Pathfinder session. Our paladin INSISTED on sleeping outside of the 2 readily available tents in full plate armor while it was actively snowing

[dhwty-writes]

tfw your players speedrun a dungeon and are now missing vital information for the plot

[dhwty-writes]

After a couple of afternoons by myself building the most complicated dungeon I've ever made I just finished up a 5 hour discord call with a friend who helped me figure out all my puzzles. I can officially say that the first draft is done and I am incredibly excited!

[dhwty-writes]

I light of our in-person pathfinder game tomorrow I printed out the maps, but they're not to scale and I don't have any fancy minis anyways. What I DO have is a bunch of sewing supplies, so my players will just have to use their imagination

[dhwty-writes]

I feel like this post is in dire need of an update, so let's pick up where we left off. As with all of my things, most of these are WIPs because I am chronically unable of finishing what I start

I mentioned yesterday that my art style/techniques changes a bit since starting this picture, so here’s an assortment of art pieces I’ve done in the past 1 year. From the literal 2nd digital drawing I ever did to the WIP I am currently proudest of.
