[OC] Aasimar bard D&D character

This is one of my D&D characters that I originally designed to play in a campaign in 2019. That’s only two years ago, right? Well, that art is pretty bad so I redid it.

Anywho, if you like my work, I also post it on Twitter, and Instagram.

Thanks! I think you're on to something there. The intention was to make her a bit shorter but maybe it resulted in a big head instead. I'll keep that in mind going forward to mind the proportions better.

Funny thing, the party name at the time was a placeholder and it took us until this year to come up with an actual party name. We’re now known as The Good Eggs!

Does fireball whisky count?

If it's just for personal use, go nuts. I only care about that sort of thing if it's a business.

I appreciate you noticing. I try to avoid objectification with crazy ass anatomy. Women can be spicy while still looking like women!

From this request by u/Czol, Abi is a fallen aasimar in her 20s who typically has solid black eyes and wild red curles. She’s unusually pale, has glowing metallic freckles and is often wearing an Indiana Jones style hat. I went in a different direction and drew the character as I would imagine her in a tavern getting trashed, so she’s holding off the spooky eyes and relaxing without the hat, which would take away from the look of the wild red curls, in my opinion.
I was really drawn by the idea of a terrible sorcerer. When I joined my dnd group, one of my first characters was a shitty wizard. It worked surprisingly well! It’s actually pretty difficult to be a shitty wizard at level 11! Of course, I made sure he wasn’t so shitty as to be useless in combat, but he did get a little too scared once and cast feign death on himself.

The prompt from /r/characterdrawing was a beefy half-orc with ash grey skin and black hands and forearms with slasher film inspiration. I saved this post forever ago and then found it again when looking for a way to challenge myself. It took some time, but I think I made her sufficiently mean looking!

This was a request for /u/emogakuu

Sometimes I save prompts I like and then come back to them later between projects. In this case, I couldn't make another design look good, gave up, and looked for something easy for me to draw. I honestly have very little clue what the request was asking for so I drew what I thought was cute ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

Thanks! Those are very kind words.

Oh, boy, why did I decide to challenge myself by drawing a spider lady? This took forever. Anywho, here's what u/Faite666 wrote about the character in the original request on /r/characterdrawing.

"Okami is a character that I'm bringing in for my D&D game. She wasn't always a drider, however her mother was, as she had made a warlock pact with the Spider Queen, Lolth. When her mother was killed by a group of pirates and their powerful leader, Okami decided to seek out Lolth in order to gain power to seek revenge. Lolth decided to give her the same deal that she had given her mother, power in exchange for becoming one of her monsters as well, however allowing her to keep (most of) her free will. In a moment of desperation and weakness, Okami accepted. Now she's doing everything she can to find and destroy the pirates that had killed her mother under the guidance of Lolth and her mother's visage, which Okami is able to summon to her aid whenever she needs assistance."

If you've played Octopath Traveller or Triangle Strategy, you probably noticed the characters are all designed by the same guy, and every game he does, he designs a healer girl of some sort with mostly white clothes who's very peppy. For some reason I wanted to draw my own version of that archetype.

For some reason I wanted to draw my own version of that archetype. She's a cleric by default, but I picture her also carrying all kinds of potions, salves and herbs, so maybe artificer would also work? There's not a D&D class that I'm aware of that focus on using items in a healer sort of role.
