  You can follow my Tumblr here, but I'll mostly be posting the same stuff here as well.
  
  I make an effort to have something to post here every week around Tuesday. Do look forward to them!

  Friend from our D&D Campaign asked me to draw his Tiefling Wizard, Myranda, although what he described and pointed out to me while I was drawing makes me question if he actually knows what a Tiefling looks like. Ahh well.
  
  Expect more of this character; She normally covers her face in a niqab and her hair in a hijab(How she manages to fit all that hair into a veil is beyond me). She even has a pet cacodemon! [S]Which means I have to draw that too whoopie[/S]

  [/SPOILER]
  Revised Myranda’s jaw structure from before. She looks a lot less "Slavic", so I quote from my DM.

  My trend of playing non-human D&D Characters continues(who needs that extra feat anyway?) This time, I rolled a Poisondusk Lizardfolk Cleric/Bone Knight, who goes by the name of Lorrach. He wears a full suit of bone armor that gives him a butt load of immunities to anything except for death! He can cast all divine spells, and when buffed up, decimates enemies with his archery on top of a skeletal warpony. If his poison-tipped arrows or bolas don’t debilitate you, he’ll switch to his illusion magic, or blast you with all manner of bolts and AoE spells at his disposal. There’s no escaping this small spell-slinging knight of death.
  
  Oh, and he can heal just as well as any other Cleric.

  Wow I drew an Aman sue me
  
  I went back to TERA for a bit the past few weeks, leveling my priest up and then I stopped again at like level 39. Will I ever reach level 65? Probably not. I still try to log in every day for that Ostrich mount though.
  
  I remembered why I stopped drawing these guys; they take too damn long with their horns. Stop having such intricate horns gosh

  Here’s another D&D character RPed by my friend! He’s a Wood Elf, and his name is Faendal(I’m sure that wasn’t intentional at all). His class is a bit of a homebrew one; he specializes in using his psionic powers to teleport short distances and get the “jump” on enemies unaware(Harharhar). Other than that, he can also transport people and things through portals and carries a very big two-handed sword to hack people apart.
  
  … I honestly have no idea how to draw an Elf. But uhhhhh pointy ears check pointy nose check WE’RE GOOD TO GO YEAH

  Oh wow a post that isn’t a week or months apart from the next! I surprise myself sometimes.
  
  You know what I’ve noticed with nearly all my sketches? They all have this smug/neutral face to them. I guess I draw so infrequently that I’d have to do something simple just to get back into it. Then get back out of it by proceeding to not draw for days.
  
  BUT NOT THIS TIME so have a shocked/surprised 4th/5th Edition Dragonborn from D&D. He probably read up how Dragonborn were “made” in 3.5, which involves people getting into eggs and worshiping Bahamut to get scales. Weirdos.

  Hell I’ve drawn two I might as well draw three to complete the trio. [S]I'll draw an Elin sometime soon I promise[/S]
  
  Starting to wonder why I don't go join some TERA forum now. Too many Mabinogi attachments. :cryno:

  Oops, forgot to draw. Spring Break was friend-busy.
  
  My friend bugged me to get Persona Q so I ended up getting it even though I haven’t touched the Persona series(Only Devil Survivor and Shin Megami Tenseis), and I like it. Maybe I’ll try a few Etrian Odyssey games after I beat it since I do like the dungeon crawling system.
  
  Insta-liked Naoto Shirogane’s super cool detective attitude, so I guess here’s some fan-not-so-fan-art of her? Persona fanbase be gentle I’ve never touched any actual games of the series ;~;
  
  I used another color for the hat yay

  WIP for a project that I needed an easy base of i.e. why the drawing+pose looks similar to the sprite
  
  At the level of output I post anyway
  
  Since Tumblr tags don't work here, it's a Tau from DFO.

  When in trouble with figuring out how people do shading and color comps, always go back to TERA
  
  I don’t even play the game anymore yet I still feel the urge to draw stuff from it; it’s an Elin too wow now I feel like I’m actually drawing something that exists in that game

  Drawing late at night results in some funky color ideas. Oh well.

  How to color and more importantly how do you color efficiently because this took way longer than it should have.

  WIP TO THE LIMIT BABY
  
  Coloring/shading’s getting less convoluted so that’s a plus. I may have drawn in a smaller resolution than I should oops
