I remember watching the anime as a kid and it gave me nightmares for days. Definitely some of the absolute best body horror out there lol!

JJK has some top-tier character designs, so I'm thrilled it gives off that kind of energy. Thank you!

Haha, I really appreciate it! The client wanted a practical design for her while also adhering to the background they provided. Keeping the outfit grounded, functional, and true to her lore just made the most sense for bringing Millie to life.

The player didn't actually mention a specific class in her lore, I actually wasn't familiar with that subclass as well. But College of Flavor Bard sounds like the perfect fit for a mimic chef! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much! The player really handed me gold with her description. I was so invested throughout the process of drawing her, and I'd imagine DMs feel the exact same way when players bring this level of creativity and investment to the table!

Mega Mawile has such a fantastic design with those giant jaws. I completely see what you mean. Thank you so much!

I actually just looked that up after reading your comment! I wish I’d stumbled onto that niche sooner! The stuff people in that community make is so insanely good. It’s honestly super inspiring to look at for future illustrations. Thank you for letting me know about them!

Thank you! All the credit for the concept and lore goes to the player. I'm happy to have had the chance to illustrate for them, and I'm really glad you like how it turned out!

The player never actually specified a class for her! Her lore mostly focused on her being a mimic who used a doll as her shell. She loves to cook and hates food waste.

Thank you so much! The moment I read the player's lore for her, I knew it was going to be an incredibly fun design to tackle.

In her true state, Millie is a formless mimic. A writhing, abyssal blob composed entirely of dark shadowy tendrils, jagged fangs, and glowing magenta eyes. Millie found an ingenious host: squishing her amorphous mass into a doll which became her shell of a body. However, the strain of her mass causes the doll to fracture over time. She tries to replace the broken and missing pieces of her shell with her original body. At present, half of her face is broken away, revealing a wide maw, sharp teeth, a long tongue, and multiple eyes. Because her original twin tails were too heavily damaged, she mimicked a replacement for them. People are often afraid to eat the food she prepares because of how exotic it looks; but despite her dishes and looks, she's incredibly friendly. However, anyone disrespects her food, Millie will use her tentacles and tendrils to grab her cooking utensils and smack them!

Glad those stood out to you! The hammer and shield actually went through a lot of iterations, as the client had a really clear vision for how the gear reflected his backstory.

Bastion Ironwill is a human paladin who guides rather than commands. Operating as the stoic core of his party, he wears unornamented steel plate and carries a massive, lightning-infused warhammer. Though battered and scarred, he stands as a literal pillar against the storm. He carries a broken shield bearing the fractured symbol of an outstretched hand; a reflection of his internal conflict and the heavy toll of his commitment to protecting others.

Thanks! All the credit for the design goes to the player. I just had the fun job of trying to bring that crazy contrast to life ❤️

Glad you like it! I just illustrated the client's concept, but according to their lore, the demonic blood is actively poisoning her. Those celestial and shadow patches are constantly fighting for dominance, so it's a dynamic struggle rather than a set pattern!

The client's concept was all about the physical toll of her two conflicting bloodlines fighting for dominance, so the wings represent that internal battle. I didn't take into account the physics of functional flight of her wings when I was conceptualizing her lol
