Figuring out a tortle’s head.
Based on the Alligator Snapping Turtle.
Casually drops new AU
Bot but he has an organic body
He looks so silly I love it
I started playing DnD with my friends. I’m a noob, but I’m a noob that can draw, so of course I made character cards for our entire party. Because friendship.
For the cards, I took inspiration from different cultures for how I would stylize each one 😁
for more info/dev commentary on Umran (because he’s my character) keep reading if you want I guess.
For Umran, my character, I wanted to do an asian inspired take on a Paladin. Not a monk, because I wanted him to still be armoured. So I took the idea of a religious warrior, and tried to make the base religion different from catholicism, and add a focus on spirituality. Which is why I made him a Kalashtar (Secret Identity background so I guess in game no one really knows he’s a Kalashtar or that Umran is technically not even his real name). Although his origins are a secret, it’s fairly obvious that he’s foreign so he doesn’t hide that he’s foreign and his design leans into that. In fact he takes advantage of how other’s perceive him a the “exotic foreigner” and hides his true identity in plain sight. Umran was really about putting different spins on a Paladin. Different base religion, more DPS leaning, not lawful, a rogue-ish-like personality, etc.
Ok, so you've been isekai'd to the dnd world and may or may not die due to the class you've been assigned. Better question. Are you human? (spinner wheel of all dnd5e species)
Dnd has a lot of Anthro animal races like Dragonborn, Lizardfolk, Aarakocra, Kenku, Tabaxi, Tortle, etc. And it made me wonder... would furries be cultural appreciation?? What would be the consensus on humans, elves, etc, wearing a fursuit? Do they have fursuits, or would furries just be druids? Are druids just magical furries?
