Good morning! (Or whatever timezone! lol)
I was just cast last minute in an AP and I’m looking for some simple character art. I would be happy to tag the artist when I post to socials!
My character is a squadron leader. Stern, law abiding, believes she is doing the right thing, although can sometimes feel a bit hesitant. She wants to give off this like cool, calm, collected vibe. Like she’s above the drama and little things.
Character: Aasimar Paladin
Age: early 30’s
Pronouns: She/Her
Skin Tone: Olive skinned
Grecian features
Hair color: Lilac, pulled back into a bun. Maybe one or two strands fallen out
Eye Color: A hazelish-greenish mix
Wings: Angel-esque. Gold.
Clothing: Muted Teal Athenian style robes under silver armor.
Expression: Stern and calm. Like she’s about to lead her squad into a battle and is confident they will win.
Weapons: Probably has a longsword in her holster, but I’m not too concerned with accessories for this project if you can’t get to it!
Thank you so much 🫶

[LFA] My war domain cleric is getting a new full plate armour, so I’d be happy to see him in it!
Helmet on tho :D Alright, here is a quick rundown of his backstory:
Grayson was born in a small village named Birhomten and had quite the average life as a teenager, although it quickly went downhill as his home was raided by undead warriors that were controlled by a necromancer.
Traumatised teen was then forcefully recruited into the church of Talona, where he lived until he failed to complete one of the tests the priest had given him. As a punishment he was set on fire near the canyon, and when followers of Talona thought he was dead they threw him into the said canyon.
Surprisingly, Grayson survived. His unconscious body was found by rivals his past religion, the church of Torm ensured he would survive and when he woke up again they adopted him into their ranks, several years after he was a well respected cleric who swore to seek vengeance on the church of Talona.
Aaaaaand he’s in Barovia right now…..

[LFA] Rhulitar and Fachtna
So these are two characters I made in preperarion for an upcoming game, and I'd like to have some art for at least one character. If I am lucly enough to have someome select my post to do, please don't feel the need to do both. I'll be more than happy with just one. Apologiea for the lack of refrence images. If you need any details clarified, leave a comment and I'll reapond
Rhulitar Artyss: Bronze Dragonborn (Male) Glowing Blue Eyes. Bronze Scales. Spikey Tail similair to Has 4 major horns on head. Two on the top of his heard go up and slightly back. Two on the top of his head towards the sized curve backwards/downwards then point forward(think almost like a rams horns, but the don't make a full circle or loop). Smaller several spikes on the top/back of his head in place of hair, similair to how sonic looks, but a little smaller. Jaw/chin has a row of larger scales that almost look like spikes(like a bearded dragon.) Scales on wrists, ankles, lower shins, feet, and claws should be mud-stained. Clothes: Wears a brown, unbuttoned duster coat and a brown vest to match, a light tan button up shirt, a mahogany colored bandana around his neck, blue pants. Barefoot. Large staff worn on back. Entire outfit is stained with mud, and looks beaten up. (Think a cowboy outfit, but is an actual rancher and not a gunslinger)
Fachtna Ricmond (I promose this isn't an edgelord character despite the overly gothic edgelord design) Dhampir (Half Human Half Vampire. Male) Pale skinned, but not sickly looking. Black, slick backed hair. Saber toothed smile. Sectoral Heterochromia(Each iris is half one color and half another, instead of the whole iris being ome color and the other iris being a different whole color) of purple and brown. Purple Pants and double breasted greatcoat(buttoned up) with golden accents/highlights and buttons. Cuffed sleeve with wrist ruffles sticking out. White shirt revealed at the collar with a tie. Shoulder-length cape with the chain going underneath the coat collar. Tall, cuffed boots. Black leather gloves. Fiddle and bow(not the weapon) strung on his back. Khopesh sword on hip.
