D&d Oc Art - Blog Posts
D&D character for my school's game club!
Some visuals to go with my rpg horror story I posted on reddit.
I was trying to figure out why I got attached to this guy so much and I think It might have been his sense of perseverance. I always put a bit of myself into my characters and his struggles reminded me of my own when I was younger, when I was getting bullied by people I thought were my friends while dealing with the things my family put me through.
His core is the survival instinct people have despite even their own brains working against them and it's something that shaped me as a person as well.
Weirdly enough when I made this chart I was surprised that the art I make is influenced by my own emotions. Shocking I know. Like bruh the colour was literally sucked out of it! How did I not see it?
A Child of Wind and Stars - May 2023
The Rebirth - March 2023
This started as a vent art At this point in the campaign I was going through a depressive episode and what was supposed to be a turning point in my character's journey made things even worse and things didn't get better even after the story ended. So it was both a vent for me in my personal life and for him. He became a character through which I could explore my self image issues, but it kind of got ruined for me. ( However I was so attached to him at this point I found a different group and gave him a fresh start with a new name, and modified backstory. And so far it's going well. I didn’t want to end this rant on a negative note. )
Second attempt at Cirrus - November 2022
He got turned into a pretty boy yay! The previous design didn't match his personality at all. At this point he's still a sorcerer, but that changes later too.
Looking for art mutuals closer to my age
I'm Alice, neurodivergent, a relic of the late XIX, very ancient, almost 30 I mostly draw things I like which happen to be my OCs / D&D characters, they make me happy and tbh I don't often feel like drawing anything else. I used to draw fanart a lot but those works never felt like mine, it did help me hone my skills through. I stopped posting and deleted all my stuff years ago for mental health reason and I kinda want to come back to sharing my art with people.
My interests:
Dungeons and dragons
Character design
Favourite anime: Princess Tutu ( I don;t have the energy to keep up with new stuff and I'm tired of shounen/isekai)
Music taste: all over the place
Aesthetics: elves ( especially drow) , skeletons/undead, lolita fashion, romantic gothic

When the cleric goes wooosh, Febuary 2022
Older and cooler version of this little dude His switched from celestial warlock to cleric after some character development, as well as getting sick new tatts, which were a nightmare to draw and design.
Sketch vs Final, June 2021
My drow wizard / celestial warlock at the start of the campaign.
Here is him with the whole party during a boss battle
Another Dnd party art, this time from December 2021. I made it to commemorate the finale of a heavily homebrewed Curse of Strahd game. It was the first campaign I've ever finished and we had a successful sequel after.

Do you ever just design a new d&d character and go : wow that’s the most beautiful being I’ve ever created.
This is my D&D character Nyx (one on the left) with @bitter-goodbyes D&D character Florian! A little bit about Nyx is that she is a moon elf and the daughter of the nobles of Phlan. She is adopted, and she hates her adoptive parents as they are tyrants and abusive to her kind. The only reason they adopted her was to boost their PR with the elves in the country, and now they are absolute tyrants and oppressors. She is a sorceress and has a partner named Athen (they/them). She rebelled against her family and fought the army they sent to burn part of the village because they "corrupted" their daughter after they found out she and Athen were dating. Now she is an assassin working for the Collective, hates humans, and is very sassy and kind of a b word before you get to know her. If you want to know more about Florian ask @bitter-goodbyes, his backstory is very interesting and they deserve more love. BTW, no base this time and bonus points if you can tell me why my character's name is Nyx!
