A place to draw characters for each other, and check out cool character art. This sub focuses on requests for D&D or other TTRPG characters, and the artists who draw them.

This subreddit is for fans of role playing games to submit request to get their characters drawn and for artists who want to draw characters from ttrpgs. This is purely pro bono work, meaning it is done voluntarily out of good will. Please read the rules before posting, they can be found below the sidebar picture.

[Lfa] Rori the 3ft time wizard with a tragic backstory... But he's so cute you'd never know.

You'd also never expect the fireball (not furball) he's gonna cast before you get a turn because he has +16 to initiative.

"the boy under the umbrella; okinm romancia oathil

16 years old, has a umbrella and gun (don't question the latter)

is NOT originally a dnd character; despite his involvement in one (insert isekai joke here)

[LFA] Calixte, the charming Malkavian peacemaker.

Proprietor of the Le Pétale Écarlate, a club in New Orleans, Calixte is a mysterious figure. Using the rarity of her official appearances, as well as couching herself in vodou mysticism, she keeps people guessing. Is she a voodoo witch? A sea hag? Some sort of devilish menace? Underneath all of the rumours, Calixte is an old and powerful vampire of the eighth generation. Embraced in 1764 by the owner of the plantation she lived on, he was somehow surprised when she turned on him a year later, even when he himself admitted that he chose her for ambition and cruelty. She managed to get the drop on both him and his own sire, one Gouverneur Jean-Jacques Blaise d'Abbadie, performing the Diablerie; in which a vampire consumes another vampire, blood, soul, and all to rise in Generation and, therefore, power.

The years have softened her, though she would be loath to admit it. All told she is happy to run her club, in actuality a masquerade Elysium (as Kine, or humans, frequent the establishment) as well as her own Haven, and do her best to duck the madness that is kindred politicking and manoeuvring. The Jyhad is a dangerous bore in her mind, where vampires dance at the whims of their betters. She would rather gather quiet power and use it to forge alliances between the Kindred of the city and other supernatural beings, as New Orleans has a history for being a place of cooperation between those what go bump in the night.

As with all Children of Malkav, Calixte is afflicted with a derangement. Her treatment at the hands of slavers left deep scars on her mind, and sometimes she still sees their visages flash onto the faces of kine authority figures like the police, an institution that itself grew out of the old “slave patrol.” The Camarilla is usually willing to look the other way, as this allows them to shore the waning police numbers with their own informants, as well as ensure that there is a constant influx of “pigs blood” into the mouths of the New Orleans kindred.

[LFA] Muriel the deer centaur druid

The spawn of a devious satyr and a doe, Muriel is a unique specimen. With the antlers, ears and lower body of a deer and the upper body of a human. She's mischievous and a little clumsy but will fight to the death for those she loves.

She does not carry a bow, after being shot by one as a child when mistaken for a normal deer by a hunter and she wears no leather out distaste for the use of her kinds hides being used for it. Instead she carries a staff with a mace like top that helps with walking around when you have an anatomy that doesn't make much sense, as well as a weapon and focus for spells.

Her hair is often messy with plenty of fly aways and strands that get caught in her antlers. She also likes to wear little tiny flowers in her hair.

Her tattoos are runes and geometric shapes. Before big battles and special moon cycles she covers her face and human torso in paint patterns.

Hello hello! I am obviously not an artist lol but I desperately want art of my harengon rogue who is crushing on her party member who was a half elf who has been cursed and is slowly turning into a dragon. What I drew above is essentially what I’m looking for but better and more refined.
