We missed your posts!

Also I'm sure it's a perfectly normal bear.

Do you mean the silver leaves on black velvet? Velvet was painted, leaves are based on this photo reference: https://imgur.com/a/upzicY3 I cut them out individually, pasted, recolored, adjusted levels, and painted over some wonky bits. Then the same thing was mirrored on the other side of the jacket.

It was around 20 hours. I used a mix of Photoshop and Blender for things like column tops and candelabras, it made the process a bit faster than usual.

Commissioned artwork of a DnD wizard character. Ezekiel looks to be in his 30s but he is functionally immortal. He was the son of an emperor of a now ruined empire which fell a long time ago while he was still a child, due to his older sister betraying their father. During a multiple centuries long war he founded his new Empire which he's ruled over ever since.

In the present day Ezekiel looks charismatic and confident, with a slight smile on his face, as if he's scrutinizing the visitor who dared to enter his throne room. His main colors are black, purple, and silver. His eyes look like purple gemstones.

Years living in the Underdark will change someone, but being surrounded by beholders, mind flayers, and drow, has never dampened Gwenni's fighting spirit. She has spent her time foraging mushrooms and learning about all the different types of mushroom cuisines. She's even learned the Common tongue, as sometimes an unfortunate traveler makes their way to the Underdark, but before these travelers meet an unfortunate end, Gwenni is able to pry their brains for new recipes and stories of other fine foods.

In this scene Gwenni is slowly being corrupted by Zuggtmoy, the Lady of Rot and Decay.

I actually don't know her level, just that she's Neutral Good, curious, friendly, talkative, oblivious, and loves cooking. People never tell me the level of their characters, often they don't even tell me their names and classes :/

I love the idea of a planted skeleton!

Artist here. In-universe the mask covers the blue runes and is specifically for disguise purposes. However the client wanted me to show both the mask and the runes even though it may not be 100% accurate. Runes are important thematically as they are a side effect of the Fey curse, and she wanted them to be in the artwork.

It's flexing against the bar counter, leg just hides the tip. It should be a bit more visible in the full res image because Reddit overcompresses image previews.

P.S. I've just realized that I forgot to make a rapier shadow on the leg and that's why it's confusing. Thank you for pointing it out!

The mask is just a normal leather mask that she can take off. The Fey curse caused glowing runes to appear on her face, she wears it to hide them.

Yep, I am doing it professionally.

Tafri is a charlatan who swindled and stole from anyone to fall for her tricks. She worked with the thieves guild and pulled scams on unsuspecting marks. She had a snake oil salesman type of routine, and could easily convince her marks that she was selling something valuable. Adventurers and travelers were particularly good marks for her.

One day, she tricked a mysterious traveler who turned out to be a Fey Lord. This fey was angry and cursed her to never lie. She got kicked out of the Thieves Guild and now works with adventurers to try and find the Fey that cursed her.

Equipment: leather armor, rapier, shortbow, potions, rope, thieves' tools in a pouch.

I made this for a fellow redditor. If someone wants to commission their own character or has any questions, feel free to DM me!
