A group of D&D characters all together in one image. Featuring a Uruk - half orc, Venali - human, Calliope - tiefling, Klink the kobold and his son Gizmo, Yvraine - water genasi, Eigyr - Aasimar/Aarakocra, Alta - Aasimar. Looking over all of them is their DM Dom with a tome.

I had the pleasure of doing a group commission for my dear friend @j-kenny.bsky.social and his D&D group of their 'Tyrants Bane' campaign. It is my first time working on such a large project with so many characters! This was a really big learning opportunity for me, I had so much fun. ❀️

A sketch done with a rainbow pencil of a cute fat cat laying down and doodling. Around the cat are stars, squiggles, and other doodles, as well as the words: β€œwhy would I use AI when I can just not.”

I baked a tiramisu cake todayβ˜•

Textures and flavour were far from perfect, so it looks like I'll have to make a redemption tiramisu cake later on!

Thread and aida delivery day means I'm now all set for starting my next cross stitch project. However looking at all the colours here and the black aida, I'm a little intimidated πŸ˜…

Had a lovely interaction today with a small biz craft store owner, she recommended me the correct size needles and helped me find threads for me next cross-stitch project. She was so lovely and even asked me what I was working on. Bless her beautiful soul <3

A scanned bookmark shaped black and white ink illustration. It is watermarked with the artist's Emily Jane Art mushroom shaped logo. At the top is the word enchant. A smiling ghost sits on a tree stump. A bird has landed on its hand and another swoops down towards it. A rabbit peers up at the ghost, resting its front paws on the tree stump. A squirrel sits on a branch above it. In the background, there are silver birch trees. In the foreground, the viewer looks over the shoulder of a wolf who is watching the scene.

Black and white graphite drawing with a white border. Text under the drawing reads "Melissa Sue Stanley   -  Magic will find you" 
The drawing is of a Baba Yaga chicken-legged hut in the woods with an eyeball in the front where a dormer window would be. It's looking up at a butterfly-winged fairy that's glowing a bit in the upper left corner.

Forgot about posting my WIPs here! Sorry for the bad lighting. I'd enjoy this piece more if the yellows weren't so painful to use πŸ˜… They keep getting twisted even when I try my best with it. Other colours are fine.
