    [LFA] My late cat Lily, as a tressym/angel cat (warning: cute cat pics :))

    I'm starting a new campaign soon and my character has a familiar, which my DM said I could make my own cat Lily in angel/tressym form. If anyone feels like drawing her, I'd appreciate it very much ^^

    I love these wings, but white

    Lily when she was little, about 1 year here

    A much older Lily she's nearly 10 here :)

    Enjoying the cool breeze!

    [LFA] Banshee-like animal companion for my player's Beast Master Ranger.

    Isis is a spirit from the Elemental Plane of Air that took a physical form in order to protect and accompany my player's ranger, who is a hunter and an explorer, so it only makes sense that her companion took a form fitted for such activities.As a spirit her form is influeced by the Elemental Plane, and so her scales are grey with blue lightning bolts decorating her body.Avatar's Banshees are a great starting point, but her head would be more like that of the little guy in the pictures, without the banshee appendages on top of the head, and a smarter expression.

    As you can see this is heavily homebrewed so we're having trouble finding references, but I just wanna give my player a full experience since it's her first time playing D&D and she chose this companion herself. Thank you so much in advance!

    Edit: Thought I added images but apparently I didn't, should be good now.

    Lightning bolts decorating her body

    Friendly looking reptilian head

    Possible pose, but get as creative as you want!

    [LFA] celestial animals for my stars druid summon spells!

    My Circle of Stars Druid knows Summon Beast and Conjure Animals. My DM has allowed me to flavor the summoned animals as starry animals similar to his familiar/star map who is a creature covered with stars and constellations, as if all of reality is a film held against the night sky and his form has been punched out of said film. My druid character with his familiar/star map can see seen here. I'm looking for animals with the same vibe as the creature on his shoulder. They don't have to be very big since they'll be for VTT tokens but I would like to have some nice looking art to show off.

    The creatures I'd like (but feel free to draw any animal you like) are:

    • wolf

    • giant dragonfly

    • rothé (an animal like a musk ox)

    • frog/toad

    • snake

    • crab
