Oh no, it was sealed from the inside by the witch. Anyone could enter, and were drawn to it by the smell of the most delicious food they had ever smelled. But once you're in, you can't leave, and are under a curse of constant hunger without true satiation. His problem was he couldn't get to her.

Just a nice portrait of Dr. Caimus Layne. I think he looks pretty good in brown. #dnd #characterdesign #oc #drow
Just a portrait of Fen and his Sovereign. I like it. #comics #webcomics #thevessel #fenlackman #sovereignmaeralai
04.20.2026 updated for The Vessel is now live! Fen receives a shock to his system, as he realizes a strange transformation has occurred. #comics #webcomics #update #fantasy #thevessel
Ragraque, a respected Hobgoblin artificer and part-time instructor at the University of the Greater Arcane. When not teaching, he keeps his various delicate reality-reading devices in a cabin far from society, where hopefully nothing will throw them off. #dnd #npc #characterdesign #hobgoblin
The ruler of a small colony of Vegepygmies, which despite their name, apparently come from a species of mold. He thinks he's in a bitter rivalry with the King Myconid I posted a while back, but the latter is perfectly fine with his diminutive neighbors. #dnd #npc #characterdesign
A request I did for a friend for a portrait art asset for a college game project. She asked for an accident-scarred fallen-from grace alchemist who through the course of the game not only recovers from his injuries, but becomes a warmer, more personable man. I think I did good! #characterdesign
Tiffany! The Cosmic Understudy. I made her up as a fill-in character when a player was absent. She used their character sheet, and dressed like them, but was almost entirely mute and didn't make any big decisions. Mostly helped in combat. I love her. #dnd #npc #understudy #cosmic #meta
Exactly! The party expected to bring him back and for her to be grateful, but instead she's crushed, and feeling almost guilty for being mad at her only family before he found that fate, gives the information in a far more melancholy fashion, in the hopes the party can stop the boss. Good scene.
04.13.2026 update for The Vessel is now live! Fen awakes from the strange dream of encountering his goddess, only to find that maybe that dream was realer than he thought. #comics #webcomics #thevessel #update #fantasy
Yup! That's pretty close to how I used her when I did my campaign. She had some info that the party needed in order to figure out where in a massive cave system the boss was, and did ask them to find and drag back her son. Shame said son was already petrified by said boss.
Griandia Spadeshift, an older Duergar lady who mines glowing crystals and lives with her layabout son. I liked drawing her grumpy, distrustful expression. #characterdesign #dnd #npc #duergar
This is Chuckle Buck, the gnomish clown, with his Shenanigan Stick! That stick is basically prank-themed wild magic chaos, as a clown's implement should be. #characterdesign #npc #dnd #clown

An old commission for my brother I still like. When we played Pokémon Scarlet and Violet together, we challenged ourselves to beat it as "Gym Leaders." Only one type allowed in our team other than one Ace Pokémon. It was fun! Dark types, my beloved. #pokemon #fanart #pokemonscarletandviolet
King Myconid! This giant, chill shroom was very fun to draw. I liked making his big psychedelic eye and fungus shelf mustache. Non-humanoid characters are always fun. #dnd #characterdesign #npc #myconid #mushroom
Say hello to Den'niss. A rather lazy Beholder captured by a powerful dreamwalking mindflayer. Said mindflayer put those tentacles on him, and keeps him in dreams in an attempt to make more beholders. Den'niss is not fond of either of these. #beholder #characterdesign #dnd #npc
Games I have beaten this year: Shadows Over Loathing! I beat West of Loathing earlier this year, so I of course had to play this one. I had a very good, very silly time with this, and yes. Heavily upgraded fish is best weapon. Fight me. #Shadowsoverloathing #indiegames #fanart #stickfigures
03.30.2026 update for The Vessel is now live over on thevesselcomic.com! Things escalate quite quickly. So many vines. #comics #webcomics #update #fantasy
A more standard sort of design this time: Dwarf fighter Torvok Ironshot. A pretty formidable warrior sent into a sealed agricultural district to try and free them from a witch. Never figured out how to get to her, and suffers under her hungering curse as well. #dnd #npc #characterdesign
a Golden Guardbot, the enforcers of the Bureaubots. Like their lankier bretheren, they run on the stolen traits of debtors. But, because they need to be the enforcers, those traits tend to be things like physical strength, endurance, and resilience. #characterdesign #npc #dnd #robot
Games I've beaten this year: Spookware! A silly little adventure game sprinkled with horror-themed, Warioware-style microgames. I had a fun time with it, and it did neat things story and gameplay wise. It's a shame the game is unfinished due to money issues. #indiegames #fanart #spookware
Ooh! I love how bumpy he is! Nice texturing!
So fluffy! I want to rub his tummy, but as someone with a cat, I know that is dangerous.
Also I want to eat this one. You did very good on making that cube look like a fruit jelly, the texturing is nice!
Aww how cute! It looks like an anxious little thing. Like I would want to pat it and tell it things are okay. But, I also see that aura around it and would probably get some form of shock for it, lol.
Very nice! Purple and green are such a pleasing color combo, and I like the differing angles of the plants!
I'm always super impressed with people who can make sick art with very simple art programs like Miiverse and Hatena back in the day. Cool art can be made with anything!
Very cool! What kind of pen were you using? The thicker lines are giving some form of brush pen?
Very cool! I like the scratchy ink pen look of the lineart!
