Digital artwork on a plain light red background. The artwork consists of a character reference sheet showing four distinct characters of different genders. To the very most left is a male with pale skin, long black hair that is parted in the middle and bright red eyes. He is shown wearing a white shirt with bell sleeves underneath a light red vest, along with wearing black dress pants and dark brown dress shoes. To the right of the man is a short woman with dark brown skin and a plus-sized body type and dark brown wavy hair that is past shoulder length. The woman wears a yellow shoulder-less shirt, blue jeans and light orange platform sandals. To the right of the woman is a taller and lanky woman with ginger/red hair, and pale cream-colored skin. She is shown wearing an orange dress shirt, a navy blue denim skirt white socks and pink sneakers. To the very rightmost side is a slighter shorter Indian woman with light brown skin and black hair that is styled in a long ponytail. The muscular woman wears a tight dark green crop top that exposes her cleavage at the center with a triangle-shaped space in the center, as well as her chiseled abdomen, which has a visible six-pack. She also wears dark green leather pants and black combat boots. 

Above each character is text that reads as follows: "Turned in" followed by a specific date. The pale-skinned man on the left was turned in 1968, the woman next to him was turned in 1975, the red-haired woman after her was turned in 1994 and the muscle-bound woman to the right was turned in 2006. All of the characters except the pale man are shown to have elongated, pointy ears of various lengths, with the man having his obscured behind the bangs of his hair.

Digital artwork on a plain light red background. The artwork consists of a character reference sheet showing three distinct characters of different genders. To the very most left is a woman with dark reddish-brown skin and black hair who sports a pair of bright red eyes. She is wearing a purple dress that hugs her curvy figure. In the artwork it is shown that the woman does not have her right arm, which is obscured underneath the sleeves of her dress. In her left arm, the woman holds a wine glass that is filled with red blood, all while she is shown smiling at the viewer, exposing her fangs.

To the right of the woman is a dark-skinned man with black hair styled in a loose ponytail that then spreads out into multiple wavy dreadlocks that scatter across his shoulders and upper torso. He is shown wearing a loose light brown shirt underneath a black suit and tie, dark red dress pants and black dress shoes that are secured with a single buckle. The man appears standing up right with a grey cane to support him. 

To the right of the man is the third character, a woman with light brown, caramel-colored skin and slightly dark brown hair that reaches past her shoulders. She is shown wearing a reddish-brown sleeveless vest with a white shirt underneath, along with loose brown pants that are supported by both brownish suspenders and a black belt. She is also shown wearing dark brown thigh-high boots with light brown soles that elevate her height slightly. She is shown in a military pose, standing with her hands behind her back. Both the man and the woman to the right both have exposed ears that are elongated and pointy, while the woman to the left has both her eyes obscured behind her hair. 

Next to each character is text that reads as follows: "Turned in" followed by a date. The leftmost woman was turned in 1518, the man in the middle was turned in 1838, and the woman on the right was turned in 1848.

Vampires? In Spring?
In all seriousness, a bolt of inspiration came to me while in the shower, and now I *really* want to make a comic series about 100% "ethical" vampires.

These guys don't have names yet and will likely get redesigned later but here they are!

OMG they all look so fun, I love all of the designs!! Kinda concerning that “ethical” is in air quotes… wonder what that’s about 👀 lol

Yay, that means a lot to me, thank you!
Sometimes I actively go searching for a voice that I think sounds right (and that can be A Process, has been for most of the Sylvan Boyz) but sometimes a specific performance pops into my head as “this would fit for this character”, which happened with Sasha!

A multimedia painting of BurakkuHardt's OC Baby as a young teen, wearing a white hoodie with light blue sleeves and a blue hood that has rabbit ears on it. Baby has tan/golden brown skin and gold colored eyes. He has dark thick eyebrows that meet in the middle, and his hair is chopped short and colored a bright pink. He has gauze bandages on his face; covering the bridge of his nose, one under each eye, and one by the corner of his mouth. The one under his right eye is spotted with blood. There's big bubbling tears in his eyes, and a trail of multi-textured tears fall down one eye. Baby also has two golden dimple piercings and two golden hair clips clipped to his hood. Baby holds his 3-fingered hands up by his face, fingers loosely touching and nails painted a similar pink to his hair. His lips are flush and glossy, and his eyes have bright white shines in the center as if lit from the inside.

The background is multicolor paint strokes clipped from "Red Star" by Raymond Saunders
There are black ink flowers in the foreground, clipped from "Blue Passionflower" by Jim Dine
Letters have been clipped magazine letter style to spell out "saddest little baby in the room" overtop

Small bits of text are hidden throughout the piece, including a quote by Ijeoma Umebinyuo "so many broken children living in grown bodies mimicking adult lives"
A few hand written ones read "why didn't anyone help me?" "Why me?" And "what could you have seen in me except infancy"

The petals on the flower near Baby's face are numbered 1 to 6

Zeno Phantazmos and the ghostly spirit of his childhood best friend, Hank Serato.
Zeno is a tall, lanky half-elf man with tan skin, red hair with a white lock in the front, and a skull-like pattern on the upper half of his face (caused by a Warlock ability, “Form of Dread”). He stands with one foot in front of the other, his right (viewer’s left) hand holding his cane and his left (viewer’s right) hand held up in a finger-snapping motion. Around the snapping motion are glowing golden spirals of magic that glitter with tiny stars.
Hank is a glowing ghostly man with brown skin, curly/wavy blond half-shaven hair, and black eyes with white irises. His spectral form hovers behind Zeno, one clawed hand held low as if ready to use it to attack in Zeno’s defense. His body and hair are also glittering as if he’s covered in stars.

D&D ART!
We just had the final session of this campaign and I almost cried 😭 playing Zeno has been such a blast, I love this guy!
For the session I made this art of him summoning the spirit of his deceased best friend, Hank, to help in the climactic second-to-last battle

Sasha, an athletic young man with short wavy/curly black hair, yellow snake-like eyes, freckles, and scars on both cheeks. He's also wearing eye makeup that slightly drips down his cheek, mimicking the markings of a red spitting cobra.
He wears a black and white tuxedo without the jacket. In one hand he holds a cigarette in a long cigarette holder (think Cruella DeVille), the other arm rests crossed across his chest. He's smiling with a wink.

Sasha in his true, more snake-like form, inspired by a red spitting cobra. He has red and black scales across the upper half of his face, a row of horns instead of eyebrows, long venom-spitting fangs, a forked snake-like tongue. The scales on his neck are black, and the scales along his shoulders form a dark-red to orange gradient.
A doodle to the right side of his face shows how his eyes look while casting the spell "Suggestion", taking on a more hypnotic look with yellow and orange rings.

Left: labeled "first layer (includes self-heating vest)." Shows Sasha in a white collared shirt with puffy sleeves, a red tie, a slightly darker red vest (magical item that keeps him warm), dark brown pants and black shoes. On his human form, he wears a a pair of formal white gloves. His snake form has a tail with a spider-shaped structure on the end, reminiscent of a spider-tailed horned viper.
center: labeled "second layer (jacket)." Sasha wears a thick dark red _ jacket over the previous clothes. A brown belt with a silver buckle cinches in his waist. He wears thicker lambskin gloves in his human form.
Right: labeled "third layer (overcoat)." Sasha wears a large dark red overcoat with swirling patterns/designs and a dark grey fur trim around the collar over the previous layers of clothes.

It's my boy Sasha!
He's a Yuan-Ti Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer who acts like a ditzy socialite and uses a magical ring to appear (mostly) human!
Here's a bunch of art of him, there will be more as I get to play him

Below him are doodles of Art, Gordon, and Donna. holding various items covered in rainbow flag imagery (Art holds a flag, Gordon has a rainbow party blower, and Donna holds a cake with a rainbow heart on it. Behind them is a giant banner reading "GAY is OKAY!" and they are showered with rainbow confetti. Their expressions are horrified.

Black and white doodles of my OC Yazzin, an elven man with slicked-back hair dyed half black & half white and black eyes with white irises.
In the center of the image Yazzin stands as if he's leaning against something like a table, one arm propped against the invisible object while in the other hand he holds a rose. His face is in profile and he smiles mischeviously. He is wearing a tanktop and shorts.
In the left corner of the image is a bust doodle of Yazzin doing "puppy eyes" or generally looking sad with his long elven ears drooped.

A single comic panel from a larger work in progress. Depicts a shadowy figure of a man with short hair standing in an open doorway, opening the door with one hand, punctuated by a “CREEEAK” sound effect. Behind the figure are a set of houses, also shadowy but with bright lights in their windows. It is nighttime and the sky is a dark greenish color.

Me? Planning & drawing actual comic pages? Wow!
This is just one panel of my WIP “Mori Mori” project for now.
I Still have to figure out where I want to post these and a schedule to keep to, but that’s for later. I’m just excited that I got SOMETHING done!
