Double DnD character bday gift pic for @dernooks.bsky.social and @thebeardlyben.art - they're ready for our battles in the nine hells

Hi folks! With the dollar exchange rate and the way things are, I have had to raise my commission prices. I kept it as small of an increment as seemed fair to the buyer, and my shipping remains the same for now. Please have a look if you are interested! ko-fi.com/danellemalan...

Gift pic for @dernooks.bsky.social - his croc character is demonstrating some Berlin vibes

A gift pic for @lupusdei.bsky.social with his character Kane as a chef. Kobold cuisine is an acquired taste.

I ended up colouring this in Clip Studio! #werebear #DnD #indianajones

Here is my part of our DnD groups secret santa for @thebeardlyben.art

Our DnD group does a secret santa art exchange each year. I drew this adventurous were-bear named Professor Switchwilder in the classic Indiana Jones whip pose from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Ben helped me with the rough layout. Thanks, Ben!

Happy holidays!

A 'secret santa' gift for @dernooks.bsky.social - the last time I drew these two DnD characters together (around 10 months ago) they were best mates, now they're married! 🐦‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Professor Switch Wilder (they/her): adventuring shifter (bear) with a fear of birds ('cept chickens). Teaches at a Toril adventuring academy, and rather than stealing artifacts to put in a museum they rescue them to give back to the people they came from. Co-created with @robynhazekamp.bsky.social

This was a lot of fun - my DnD character started a museum on the group's homebase (asteroid town called Hawk's Rest), where he showcases items, relics & stories from their adventures. Something about it reminded me of the Gravity Falls intro, so absolutely had to draw his museum in that style.

Burjack took Khadhi on a date? Also held her hand?? AND HE'S CAPABLE OF SMILING??? Who knew. A cute moment from our Spelljammer campaign :D Khadhi is played by @dwuff.com #dnd #dndcharacters #digitalart #illustration #Bugbear #leonin #shrimps

🐈‍⬛ 🖤🐦‍⬛

Art by yours truly :) Also, the music in our game slaps. Go check it out!

For 'Secret Santa in July' with my DnD group, I got @thebeardlyben.art to draw a thing for. Decided to do a recent scene of his bugbear Burjack going out on a date with @dwuff.com's Khadhi. This depiction isn't canon though, Burjack actually has a lovely smile - he's even managed to use it twice.

Been a while since I drew Syyia! Was inspired when realising our current DnD campaign has a tabaxi rogue (companion of @dernooks.bsky.social), another party member @dwuff.com had a tabaxi rogue previously and in my case Syyia was also a rogue but outfit didn't quite fit the traditional aesthetic...

When the bard drops that one right beat 🕺🕺

DnD portrait shot for a friend, of their Kobold Artificer, who makes the best of scrap metal & whatever random bits 'n bobs they can find.

When you've just gone through an incredibly tense battle with an elder god wielding psychic damage, of course the first thing that needs sorting is the party's adopted stoat son (who got too close to the action)

Happy Pride 🌈 -- [ #furry #furryart ]

band mates 🎶

Created a harengon wild magic sorcerer for a one-shot a friend of mine is running - his name is Buckworthy Longleap and he likes to find and sell weird things (like a talking hand mirror that is trying to get him to break it to release a demon)

Headshots of @dwuff.com's long suffering druid - why won't people just stay hydrated.

Khadhi looking a bit affronted 😾 Don't walk away from her while she's trying to have a serious conversation with you, that's rude! (Fortunately I rolled well enough to make the NPC come back lol)

A birthday croc for @dernooks.bsky.social 🐊 (If you ever find yourself in Tokyo, can highly recommend this bar called Bar Ghetto in Shimokitazawa, which itself is a cool area for 2nd hand clothes, bars and jazz music)

Birthday 🎈🐊

A burly bard for @thebeardlyben.art 's birthday - it's his DnD character, the gnoll with soul, Abott!

Trade with @gibbo-za.bsky.social Artemus giving some psychic damage to Miranda with his boring stories 😆

Art trade with @dernooks.bsky.social! We agreed to do a 2 character thing, and I figured his DnD character Karra and in-game best mate Zephyr grabbing a species-appropriate snack would be a fun approach.

Oh hello there.... 🚪🐊

More headshots! This time it's @dernooks.bsky.social's sometimes sad crow-lad Karra

Karra and Zephyr sneaking up the clocktower 🐦‍⬛😺

Some headshots of @thebeardlyben.art 's angry Aussie eastern dragon-style dragonborn Kermet

Karra and the first manifestation of his echo. He needed a friend back then. 🐦‍⬛

I got to do a little personal work for once hehe. Our Spelljammer party is dealing with devils right now, so I thought it would be only fitting drawing it like that iconic Jamie Hewlett Gorillaz album cover. #digitalart #illustration #dnd #dragonborn #bugbear #kobold #leonin #kenku

A birthday pic for @lupusdei.bsky.social of his DnD kobold Kane enjoying what would normally be a smallish cupcake (but not when you're a kobold) 🧁

Late to the game - but here's my part of our DnD campaign's secret santa. It's @thebeardlyben.art s Kermet and Harry :'D

One of the last commissions I finished in 2024. This is one for @RobynHazekamp.bsky.social after @dwuff.com myself played an Orc Borg one-shot GM'ed by @kharrak.bsky.social. Needless to say Robyn's character had a dramatic but hilarious sendoff at the end of the session. Thanks! #art #digitalart

Our DnD Spelljammer crew has a benefactor & occasional questgiver by the name of Adrik, a devil who conducted some rituals to retain a degree of humanity. We discussed that he looks sorta like Mads Mikkelsen so used some Mads photos for inspiration. Character created by: @robynhazekamp.bsky.social

Our DnD group had a wonderful sharing of art & writing in the form of secret santa, for the holiday season - I had @dwuff.com for mine, and after getting an idea for a comic, I couldn't resist drawing her Circle of the Land Druid Khadhi bringing a special gift to our resident stoat lad Kickstand.

Our Spelljammer group had a secret santa this year where we did art/writing for one another and this was mine for @gibbo-za.bsky.social's dragonborn twilight cleric Magnus!

And finally the last two ko-fi holiday doodles for @optix2020.bsky.social, who bought the last one for me so I drew my bugbear fighter Burjack. Thanks!

Some wild pirates appear! This one's themed as Magnus (rocking some sideburns) with pirate NPC's relating to his time before meeting the party - aside from Magnus, all the characters were created by @robynhazekamp.bsky.social

DnD beach day! As is typical with our wonderful DM it was no ordinary day - giant crabs, pirates, nudist surfing, & egg-laying giant turtles! Featuring: Burjack (@thebeardlyben.bsky.social), Khadhi (@dwuff.bsky.social), Magnus (me), Karra (@dernooks.bsky.social) & Kane (@lupusdei.bsky.social)

Guardian ~2

With Kickstand the stoat-lad successfully rescued, one of his first questions (in response to a comment by Magnus) was to ask "what's a pirate?" - this led to Magnus regaling him with tales of piratey adventures

Nice, top ten! (percent)

This wee lad is Kickstand (the stoat) - an NPC our DM introduced that has been helping our party out. We will rescue him from his life of servitude (and imminent sacrifice by cultists)... and maybe get him a newspaper-boy job back at our home base

Different expressions of our kobold party member (owned by @lupusdei.bsky.social) just being a 'lil guy
