Howdy!

I'm Whiskey; artist, writer, wrangler. ❤️💜💙

My main focuses are #DnD character design and gamedev illustration for visual novels.

I'm pretty quiet on bsky, but I'm making an effort to post more. #PortfolioDay feels like a good opportunity to put myself back out there.

The cover image for "A Chance Encounter," featuring a ginger half-elf with tanned skin, orange eyes, and gold and lapis earrings looking at the viewer and smiling a little smugly. He has a metal shackle-like collar locked around his neck.

⛓️‍💥 Want to b̶u̶l̶l̶y̶ help out a charming-if-pathetic rogue? Good news!

"A Chance Encounter" is out ✨now✨ as part of #O2A2, and I'm very grateful to have lent my face-noises to the elf himself—Chance!

Many thanks to the @fiendishfiction.bsky.social crew for having me!

medieval-inspired white unicorn rearing on a red background

A unicorn I drew earlier this year for a short story I'll probably never publish. Still love this image though... bedroom eyes and all.

The strongest argument I have that the universe is fundamentally unfair is that Sir Terry Pratchett is gone and JK Rowling is still running her fucking mouth :(

adobe advertising their text to image bullshit, showing how you can just type what you want and it'll generate images (using stolen data)

like buying a fleshlight and instead of using it you press a button that fills it with other peoples cum

oh my gosh I love this, haha!!! Thanks again... he lives on my dresser, now. :)

A watercolor painting of a purple-skinned individual with long hair and fancy clothing.

Recently commissioned to paint @whiskeyworks.bsky.social's Tarvish! I knew from one glance that I was going to have a great time; some character designs don't speak to to you so much as holler. XD

Yes, if you use generative ai in any creative field, I am actually better than you.
There’s no debate

YOUR first draft doesn’t need to be perfect. but mine does

Once again I'm here pleading people who play indie games to rate them/recommend them if they enjoyed them 🙏

Too many times I've experienced people telling me they liked my games (either in a comment, DM or during a stream/gameplay) but then don't rate them.

Reasons to exist: OC romance

Game studio announcements be like, “We laid off all your favourite devs! But don’t worry, all the people actually responsible for the horrible decision-making that led to this massive failure are staying on :) and they will still be driving their new Porsches :) all is well!!!!!”

Aasimar Oathbreaker Paladin Ezra Von Ehre -- the epitome of speak softly and carry a big stick. #DnD

icon vs artist~

Thanks, Nick! I've already got my annual pass, but I'd love to sign up more friends.

ugh

Black Tiefling sorcerer decked in gold finery, casting blue magic.

Another old DnD boy... Ofier Ossiri, Tiefling sorcerer. Ofier saw a lot of great play before the campaign died down, and he remains one of my favourites.

Yes, he does bachelorette parties.

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance.

Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

Cowboy-themed appaloosa centaur holding a rifle.

Save a horse, ride a... centaur?

"Buck Francis, better known as 'Gun-Amok' Buck! Best rifle shot in the west... an' no, ma'am, I ain't blonde... I'm strawberry roan!"

Another oldie but goodie. I'd love to revive him, either in a new pathfinder or dnd game someday. He was a ton of fun!

Thank you!!! I hope I get to use him someday-- he was a lot of fun to come up with and draw.

Humanoid rabbit design featuring a western aesthetic.

Let's kick up the dust and raise some Cain!

Dusty McCain is an unused harengon artificer for a DND campaign that never got off the ground. Shame, as I love his character design and think he'd be a lot of fun to play. Maybe someday! #dndart

If you see this, QRP a character with long hair.

I have plenty of characters with long hair, but it's hard to beat Tarvish's long flowing locks! #dnd #drow #bard

he is definitely pretty 👀

Two sailors (a human and a dark-elf) up in the rigging of a ship.

Rough start to 2025--at this point I'm just trying to keep my head above water.

Here's an older, storyboard-style illustration of my dnd boy Fualkes and his now-husband, Diirn.

The world might be falling apart--and so might I, but reminiscing on good things still brings joy.

oh, no doubt... each dumber than the last.

Throwback to The Strahd Squad's final march on Ravenloft.

Eat the rich, don't let the rich eat you. (Lookin' at you, @strahdvonz.bsky.social...)

Thank you so much!! Yes, I loved drawing her background... any excuse for plants, haha

More Occult Mingle art! We're hoping to push this visual novel/dating sim by mid-2025, so keep your eyes open. Oh yeah, and thanks for bearing with me as I adjust to this new platform. Cheers! #gamedev
