It was rough at first, but once I got into the swing of things, I almost couldn’t stop. I threatened creating an actual character with a curse like this for a whole campaign.

A festive piece of paper that reads “You can only speak in the melody of the song Joy to the World whether in character or out of character. Otherwise, you drop to 0 HP. You also do not know why this is happening.”

My DM is a cruel master

My Monk from Legion Remix

Hank, a blonde human clad in green leather and padded armour, kneels before a priest. He's wearing a crown, and have a blue embroidered cloak with fur collar trim. Behind him in the cathedral is some guards, and the rest of his party members. Rose petals are falling down in celebration of his coronation.

Karlach, a red skinned tiefling clad in leathers, is sitting on the ground with her hand clasping the hand of her sparring partner. He's a tanned human man, dressed in a short leather jacket, and purple shirt. Karlach's wood training sword lies down in the right corner. On the level above them, Shadowheart is dropping a few gold coins in into a smirking Astarion's hand, having lost the bet on the sparring match.

Ayy, got to paint best girl Karlach for D&D's new Forgotten Realms Adventure Guide. :D Painting the coronation scene was such a fun challenge as well.

Good morning! Here is the full uncropped poster that I did for @realgdt.bsky.social for Frankenstein

The Envoy (player character) in Soulframe standing on a patch of long grass. Their back is turned as they gaze toward the fortress in the sky as clouds billow around it. The sparrow lands on their outstretched hand.

The skybox has me in a chokehold so I had to do a quick painting

Thank you so much!

Day 8 of Tennotober: Scholar

This one is based on Paul Gavarni's "Old Man in a White Coat"

#Tennotober #Tennotober2025

Thank you!

Oh! I’ve never done a comic cover before

Earlier this year, my friend Ben Zweifel and I did a style exercise where we imagined a pretend #BuffytheVampireSlayer game. I created the character illustrations and text box and Ben created the environment. It was a fun experiment and allowed us to work outside our usual styles.

Here's day three of Tennotober: Round Table

I'm a day late and will totally not be able to hit all the days with my workload, but I'm going to try to get enough in!

Here's day one of Tennotober: Concert

I’m posting here for no reason at all. None whatsoever. 😏

Basically mirage, haha

Thank you so much!

thank you!

A humanoid version of Lace from Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Oh ho ho ho! My idea for a more humanoid version of Lace
#silksong

Wizard, based on something like dunamancy from the D&D/Critical Role crossover materials. That would give them some time manipulation flavor that I feel is representative of the Drifter’s power.

Thank you so much!!!

Yeah, I feel you on the falling out of touch thing, but I am so glad to get to reconnect to you like this! Got a big ol' smile on my face.

I was watching the Tennocon stream for the first time this year and I literally yelled to my husband (who was also at the CR show) "Omg, is that Sedona?! IT'S SEDONA!" and I fangirled a bit!

Hi, Sedona! It’s been ages! The CR art show feels like a century ago.

Also, thank you!

Thank you so much!

I'm so glad that was recognizable! Thank you!

Thank you so much!

I’d be thrilled to make that happen! (dming you)

I can’t believe you’ve seen this! This was so unexpected. THANK YOU! I am so glad you like it!

Thank you!
