[LFA] Change of class
So I found this cool art of dragonborn that I want to use as reference picture for my new character. Problem is my character is caster and this one is obviously not. My request is can someone draw him to look more mage like wearing robes and capes, casting a spell and similar

[LFA] Fiametta, the Lioness - Underground Boxer turned Gang Leader [Repost]
Fiametta is a major antagonist that my players will inevitably face in my RWBY TTRPG that I am running.
Attached is some basic ideas of what she would look like, but nothing is finalized, so I welcome any potential improvements or adjustments to the design choices l've made. And below I'll add some further information about her.
--
Fiametta, also known in some circles as The Lioness, is a former underground boxer, from the desert kingdom of Vacuo. Her rise began with taking control of a gang known as The Hyenas, and she soon after set her sights on the more idyllic kingdom of Vale, with the goal of rising to the top of Vale's criminal underworld.
She is a prideful, yet skilled and powerful boxer that would give even seasoned huntsmen and huntresses a run for their money in a one on one fight. Her semblance allows her to absorb the heat in her immediate area to enhance, and even augment her strikes with red hot flames.
She is in her mid to late 20s, possessing a toned figure, fitting for a boxer that is quick on her feet and strikes her opponents hard. Because of her Vacuan origins, her skin is somewhat tanned.
The color scheme of her clothes is mainly a mix of black and crimson red, with gold highlights.
Her character alludes to Shenzi, one of the three hyenas in The Lion King. In the Lion King, Shenzi is often seen leading two other hyenas, Banzai and Ed.
She takes multiple character design inspirations, mainly from Dehya (Genshin Impact) as well as elements from Samira and Vi (League of Legends) Tifa Lockheart (Final Fantasy 7) and Yena Youngblood (Virtual YouTuber)
If you have read this far, thank you for your time :)

[LFA] Valerica The Fallen
(Only marked as NSFW due to some skin exposure and breast outlines in one of the images)
Valerica (29, 5'3", She/Her) is an Aasimar with Tiefling aspects that resemble bone, such as a skeletal black tail and horns that loop into another resembling a false halo. There are inlays of what appears to be gold in the joints of her tail and at the top of her horns. Her eyes are pure white, with a natural hint of gold found around her eyes and lips resembling makeup. Her hair is staunch bone bleach white with hints of what almost looks like morning rays of light that have lost their glow. Her astral wings sprout from her lower back in a gruesome display piercing her flesh with black, skeletal bone with the same golden inlays as her tail, her "feathers" appear more like an aura of black, gold, and red magic. (the wings aren't needed in the art piece but won't be frowned upon if you desire to do so) She wears a dark red bandage in place of clothes that typically hide a layer of scars on her body, some burns, cuts, and surgical scars.
Her armor is mostly aesthetical/ceremonial, Valerica is (currently) planned to be played as a Divine Soul Sorcerer, and she is a religious order member following a homebrew god in my table's homebrew world, the Goddess of Blood and Unity, typically a god revered for the vampirism origin in the world despite the blessing having been stolen making the more typical 5e curse more commonplace.
(If you have any questions or need clearer images, I can dm them if you'd like, compressing the images I have may lower their quality idk, never done this before :D )

Her backstory:she was a normal girl in her teens,one day,she and her "friends" went in the woods to investigate why people are missing when going there,they found a house made out of candy,her friends were excited and went to eat the house,but she warned them. Her fake friends did not listen and went there. Candy was afraid of being alone so she went with them,but she didn't eat the candy of the house. Later they went inside and Candy was forced by the others to go there too,when they went inside,a creepy witch appeared and everyone started panicking and tried to leave the house,everyone left except Candy,who was kicked by one of them and didn't make it,the witch turned out to be good and taught Candy how to use magic and the reason people went missing is not because of the witch,but because of the candy,whoever tries to eat it, disappears and later,Candy was the next sweet witch and owned the home.
