[LFA] Bard Winged Tiefling (based on Succubus)
Red skin. She's 6'0" tall and fairly athletic build. She has bat like wings, fangs, small ram horns and no tail. (Btw she's really bad with instruments so she usually dances for inspiration instead or says some words)

[LFA] Fae child and Human girl
I'm looking to see art of my two Little Alters playing together. They are best friends and get along famously.
The Fae child is Fox. They are genderless, and a shapeshifter (guess their favorite form). Their appearance is that of a 5 or 6 year old. They have orange layered hair, and orange foxlike eyes with pale skin. They often wear green tunics and leggings. They are an Official Captain of the Hug Patrol and take their job very seriously. They encapsulate what little of our childlike joy we seem to have left.
The human girl is Mandy. She is closer to 9 or 10 years old. She has straight blonde hair about to her waist. Her eyes are a blue-green color. She wears a purple overall dress with a white shirt underneath it. She is a little more quiet and reserved than Fox, but she has her moments, when she is talking about baking, or something she's excited about, and she lights up.

[LFA]Hoping to find art of my character, Bangnazia Eldritch
He is a rather slim/tall blue-skinned high elf. He is a scribes wizard and wears a long yellow robe with three flames symbols on his chest. His sleeves are slightly singed. He has a long belt, with three wands on his right, and a spell book on his left. He wears brown shorts, sandals. He also has a long, almost crude nose, and scars on the top of his bald head. He has no hair.

[LFA] Need help bringing my persona, Atlas to life!
So, I’ve had this idea for my own character for a few months now but, I have absolutely 0 artistic talent so can’t really draw him myself 😅 BUT, I know exactly how I’d like him to look in my head. I have some descriptors and some pictures I can provide to give a visual representation of how I’d want him to look. If anyone is willing to do this for me, please dm me! 🙏

[LFA] [Repost] Female dwarf from Snowy Region
Original text:
“I’m running a D&D game for some friends and haven’t been able to find anything remotely close to an NPC I would like to eventually introduce.
Her name is Sif, she comes from Valhalland, a snowy and dangerous country that produces the fiercest of warriors. Originally, in Romancing Saga:Minstrel Song, she is a human, but I have decided to make her, as well as her hometown, to be mountain dwarves inspired by the Norse/Viking aesthetic. I plan on having her be some kind of Ranger/Fighter that is willing to traverse with the group through the snowy terrain to get to her homeland. Super excited for her character, I have her planned to blood eagle a traitor which will really set the tone for her home as well as her personality.
She is bold, hard-headed, and fiercely loyal!”
