If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.
extremely bad time for an astronaut to find out he's a werewolf
Thank you!! 💖💖💖
Artists! QRP with sketch vs final!
Samesies, I need to be better about it. I forget as often as I remember and tax time hits like a truck sometimes 🥲
A drawing of a centipede, two millipedes, and three isopods surrounded in sparkles. They share the colors of the trans, bigender and genderfluid flags.
Shout-out to the homies ✨✨
Critical Role fanart inspired by richly decorative antique book covers. A falcon flying, framed by a banner that reads "I can stil hear the Falcon's Cry" and miniatures featuring Azune, Thimble, Kattigan, Teor and other characters and items connected to their plots in the campaign.
An illustration re-interpreting the painting “Call to Arms” by Leighton. Jester and Fjord are leaving an elegant building after getting married, followed by Caleb, Essek, Beau, Yasha, Caduceus and Veth, as Kingsley stops them on the steps, seemingly telling them about something important and pointing to the side. He’s asking them to join on a new adventure or maybe fight an incoming danger. All of the Mighty Nein are dressed in very fancy clothing, Jester has a beautiful white gown with pink embroidery. Every’s face is either shocked or excited. In the background, we see various buildings, one showing the “Lavish Chateau” sign. Many NPC, guest characters and easter eggs are hidden in the image.
Illustration of a blue-skinned horned character mid-spell, in a room with pillars and bookshelves, at night.
Promotional banner for Eren's ArtVenturing Guild Patreon, showcasing the previews of 6 different and unique character portraits.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility!🏳️⚧️✨
I'm Eren (they/them), trans non-binary fantasy artist (I also colour comics!).
I'm a big Critical Role fan (I also did official art for them), I love D&D/TTRPGs and I have a Patreon full of TTRPG portraits you can use in your games:

Complex digital illustration depicting the End of the Empire of Netheril, dating -339 DR, the event known as Karsus's Folly. At the center of the composition, Arcanist Zeno - my dnd oc - rides his loyal wyvern Dethorth with a thunderstruck expression on his face, his body limp and his cape flying in the wind. In the background the Eileanar Enclave (Karsus' enclave) plummets to the ground as Lord Karsus, the greatest Netherese archmage to ever live, casts his infamous Avatar spell to try to harness the power of Mystryl, goddess of magic at that time, and of the Weave itself. To stop his disastroust attempt, Mystryl sacrifices herself by Wishing herself out of existence, using Zeno, one of her Chosen, as a conduit to do so, draining a massive portion of his life energy to achieve the feat. Dethorth's reins are broken, a metaphor for Zeno losing his will as he's being used by the Goddess. The white/blue beacon coming from the city is Karsus' Palace, the Karsus's Avatar spell being the source of the light, and a little bit to the right, a huge explosion havocs the city as the two mythallars keeping the city afloat detonate.
Sort of Character Sheet of my original dungeons and dragons (2024) character, Naj'all Armgo, from house Barrison Del'Armgo. At the end of our game "The Wounds Once Made", he was punished by Lolth with the most dreadful of curses for a drow, to be turned into a Drider. Naj'all is a tall drow elf man, with long disheveled white hair, red eyes with black scleras and an ugly scar on his face. His jaw splits into two separate parts. His torso is attached to the bodyof a black-purplish spider with 8 spiky legs. In the top left of the image a portrait of his face, scowling at the viewer with an impassive expression. In the top right there are two Sava pieces he himself cut from onix stones. The Mother has toppled the Warrior. In the corner, a broken brooch from his former house from Menzoberranzan, Barrison Del'Armgo.
Bust illustration of Strahd von Zarovich, infamous Count of Barovia. He's walking on a battlefield, clad in green flames, a smug expression on his face. Strahd appears as a 40-something man, but is in fact a vampire, with pale skin and dark hair. He wear a rich vest with armor and fur.
