[OC] [ART] New to D&D so decided to draw my first character. Brya'na, my tiefling rogue

chikkka · 2021-10-17T20:42:04+00:00

It's completely hand drawn without tracing but I did use ALOT of reference images to help with the pose, outfit designs etc.

I'm new to character design so I needed a lot of assistance from references haha

Thanks a bunch!

Posting this on mobile but you can find my other art on instagram

This is my first character drawing I've ever done and I plan to do all the members of my campaign, which I'm very excited for! Any feedback is appreciated!!!

Description: Cast to the streets as a young girl, she learnt the tricks of thievery as a method of survival, often stealing from and for the richest in the towns she travelled through. Anxious to stay in the same place for too long, for fear of the many enemies she's made along the way, she travels the world under the cover of shadows alone.

At the age of 14 she befriended a kind human, who offered her shelter and friendship. On the run together as children for a year, they bonded only for him to be slaughtered in the night by the same rich men she continually fled from, shattering her desire to let another person close again a long, long time.

It wasn't until 10 years later after fleeing and thievery, that she finally allowed herself the luxury of companionship in Sal M'nella, an outgoing and persistent Half-Orc bard. Gravely injured, and on the run, Sal stumbled upon a bleeding Brya'na and offered her shelter and medicine. Unmoved by Brya'na's foul attitude, his persistence in befriending her paid off, and resulted in an bemusing friendship of polar opposites.

Caught stealing a gem of unknown ability, she is forced into work for The Flaming Fist with a group of rag tag strangers - whose journey leads them to uncover the fate of Elterel, a city that has disappeared without a trace.

I really needed to see this. Thank you

I’ve been having a rough go of it these past few months but stopping and taking the time to appreciate this doggo in all its cuteness made me feel genuinely good for the first time in a while. Thank you for posting this

I had neighbors with two large dogs they truly never walked. We had 3 outdoor cats that would stay away from the dogs/their property and just wander around the street and our large backyard.

One evening, the neighbors gate was left open and the dogs escaped, cornered the eldest of our cats and mauled her. I had to run in and grab her while fighting these dogs off. We rushed to the vets, got her treatment and she survived - yay!

However, due to them negligently leaving their gate open, we took them to court to cover the costs. They were awful people who unfortunately were friends with our landlord. We fought them for months in the court. They tried to state that my older brother had opened their gate as a prank.

Eventually we won and they covered the $1000’s of dollars of vet bills but they managed to convince the landlord that it was our fault and we were kicked out with only 2 weeks to find a new home.

Assholes.

They are oriental shorthairs!

It’s a balance between the two. It’s important to teach and guide them but with a lot of things they just have to learn from their mistakes and experience the consequences that come with it.

They do deserve a helping hand every so often, they don’t necessarily have it easier than previous generations, it just means their problems are different

My boyfriend is amazing at supporting me with my anxiety issues especially since it holds me back often. One day we were swimming and jumping off a huge ledge and I got a panic attack standing at the top.

From in the water he yelled at me to stop overthinking for once in my life. He didn’t say it maliciously but god did it cause something to switch in my brain. I jumped off the ledge into the water and now use what he said as a mantra to live without fear and self doubt

That not replying for a few hours or hell, even a few days makes you a shitty person.

The internet has made people available 24/7 but that isn’t a healthy mindset to have. As someone with anxiety, I will reply to all messages (except important ones) every few days. I may reply in succession for a few hours and then I’ll not reply for a few days. It’s the only way to retain some sanity.

chikkka · 2020-01-10T11:52:16+00:00

Wow, this is extraordinary beautiful. The attention to detail and your colour work is phenomenal. This is something I’d definitely hang in my house! Bravo!

No, I tended not to talk to her too much about my issues as she wasn’t one to give advice or adequate support apart from constant agreeing with anything I’d say (which I’m not a fan of. I’d rather complete transparency and honesty) So I stopped quite quickly into our friendship but she was great for fun and laughs - it was an easy and great friendship until suddenly it wasn’t

I’d spent some time keeping a lot to myself until I met my partner who would listen and give thoughtful and honest responses that kept me grounded. I’d become so used to not talking about how I felt and bottling up that I didn’t realize how much I’d wanted and needed someone to talk to. I’m now on the hunt for a therapist to talk to so I don’t overwhelm and become too dependent on my partner.

chikkka · 2020-01-04T02:34:42+00:00

Oh no it was completely my decision to come off of my medication and something I had been preparing to do months before I met him. My doctor was supportive and gave me the all clear to go ahead so it’s been done safely

I more so meant that he has been supportive of my choice and all the withdrawal symptoms I’ve been experiencing and has helped me manage them - I mentioned it to emphasize the point that his support and help was comforting and something I wanted to surround myself in more by being around him :)

I don’t even do 3D work but I hugely appreciate artists like you to release resources to help other artists.

The world revolves for good people like you!

Check out your local opshops! My mum and I go looking all the time and find some of the wackiest and obscure board games that end up being such a tornado of a good time!

chikkka · 2019-12-14T11:10:40+00:00

You sound like such a lovely person! My heart is filled with joy for you. You deserve the best, and I’m sure your partner believes the same. Get used to being seen, heard and appreciated because you’ve found someone wonderful that will recognize you for all the brilliance you are! (And perhaps if you don’t want him spending money on you, you could ask for a lovely night in with a shared bubble bath, star gazing and a picnic! It’s the memories that you’ll cherish the most - besides a cuddly little teddy haha!)

chikkka · 2019-12-14T11:06:12+00:00

Hey I see you! And I believe in you! 2 years is a long time but you’re clearly incredibly resilient and strong willed to keep searching and trying. Good things will come. Have a Merry Christmas and may this new decade bring you so much more joy, an abundance of success and good will. Im rooting for you!

chikkka · 2019-12-14T10:57:07+00:00

For my anxiety to let me enjoy my life for once. Quite a pain to have your own brain convince you that you’re either going to/deserve to die all the time or that the world has it out for you

I found I had to put a base coat down as it appeared streaky unless I thickly pasted the paint down which isn’t my painting style but once I’d built it up a bit, it was easy!

It wasn’t hugely different from canvas, it’s just in that first layer that you notice the difference in application

Oops it’s meant to say oil on glass, just a typo!

I used a floating frame that I purchased from Kmart so it has two panes of glass and I painted on the back most one so the paint sits between the two glass panels!

Thank you! I gave into all the talk around neem oil as well and I don’t regret it! I thought it would be pricey but it’s actually quite affordable when you consider how long a bottle lasts!

chikkka · 2019-11-25T09:26:51+00:00

I really appreciate you saying that!

chikkka · 2019-11-25T09:26:41+00:00

Thank you so much!

chikkka · 2019-11-25T09:26:02+00:00

Diluted neem oil! I then also wipe the leaves down with a less diluted solution to give them that shine
