#DnD: Journey

Day 29: IRIDESCENT

Don't mess with the messenger. They know all about you.

I've actually drawn most of my iridescent characters already so Journey ended up being the next best thing.

Journey - Tiefling Bard/Warlock

Head Advice #1: Everybody’s head is the same size.

Okay, not really, but basically. There’s a reason you don’t have to know your head circumference to find a sunhat. We all have pretty similar head sizes, especially from the visual distance we usually draw characters.

The only exception to this is babies or children under 10. Those guys definitely have smaller heads! (But did you know our skulls are already over 90% their full adult size by the age of 5?)

Different style choices demand different proportions, but in general, it’s good advice to pick a head size, and stick with it!

Head Advice #2: You can use head size to indicate a character’s size.

Big characters don’t look like average sized people scaled up. And you can’t just scale down to get a small person!

You can make a character look very big and tall or very very small — even if they are standing alone in a vast white nothingness — just by how how they are proportioned! The most important proportion (in my humble opinion) is their head size. Look me in the eyes and tell me you can’t tell which of these characters are big and which are small.

Head Advice #3: Don’t go shrinking anyone’s head.

The most common head sins I see happen when an artist is trying to indicate (body) size difference in a couple, and use their heads to do it. The result is an image that looks something like this:

If you don’t want your lovers to look like they belong in different animated tv shows, don’t go shrinking anyone’s head! Use their bodies (hands and feet and bellies and muscles) to show off their size differences.

Anyway, that’s all. Having fun giving head. I mean doing head. I mean drawing heads.

"Lord give me on more chance"

"Will this be the last one, I wonder?"

This drawing is based off a song and how qiang met guanyin

Yang Jian was about to kill qiang but then GuanYin showed up and saved him from death, but since qiang still needed to be punished got robbing, and attacking a celestial, and murdering another GuanYin assigned Yang Jian to give qiang a punishment other than death since qiang is important for DESTINY

So that's where the river comes in 👍😋

I have a really bad feeling that Moonpaw is the kid of Night and Sun. There are no pregnant she cats rn and the name would align the sky theme of their names. Not to mention the ENTIRE CHAPTER where Sun and Night just talked about having babies before Breezey-P told them to cut it out.

I don't really enjoy NightSun, but it's not something that I hate either. So I wouldn't mind if they had kits at some point. I'd prefer they didn't since Nightheart is so young and the Clan is SO bloated, but... meh.

Plus, Sun and Night having a kid named Moon is, admittedly, super cute lmao. I will be charitable if an idea makes me smile.

What would bug me more is that we're stuck in ThunderClan again. I'm so very tired of being forced to split the POV between the plot and ThunderClan's Contractually Obligated Screentime.

I know we already got our lucky break with an all female POV cast (so it seems) but MAYBE we can double up with our first arc without a ThunderClan perspective too.

Yearningly looking at the Warframe D&D Document bc Man I Wanna Play That

Which is really not as grave as ppl who go "I wish I had friends to play this with but alas :(" about TTRPG stuff in general bc 1) I have a group I play with! It's just Pathfinder 2e instead and 2) said group came together from the playtesters of the Warframe D&D Project. I Playtested For That Project. I Got To Play It Already

Unfortunately that also means that I have firsthand experience with how much it fucks and thus know exactly what I'm yearning for

Qiang throughout different eras of his life

Qiangs outfits for the lmk spinoff

Fun fact: qiang is based off a brown mantled tamarin so on the journey she's just now growing into the darker fur patterns

[untamedmetablogiguess]

the other thing about Fatal Journey is that it is an almost perfect example of my the-untamed-as-a-dnd-game thing. they are literally exploring a dungeon. it's set up with a bunch of smaller fights and also various puzzle rooms. it leads them to an ultimate boss fight. splitting the party is a bad idea. they take a few scenes to pause and have an intense emotional conversation. like!!!!!

Diablo the Outcast! My very goofy and silly little Dragonborn DnD Barbarian with a mildly troubled past

Finally got his ref sheet done, the line art took AGES (this is why I don‘t do it often god damn it). Don‘t judge the front profile too harshly, this is my first time seriously drawing a character with a snout like that

Lore drop coming on @dhs-in-distress soon hopefully…
