Luci's Gift A friend commissioned me to draw this lovely present for a DnD site's owner. I pretty much had free reign designing this bard-like adventurer for this character art.

DnD Inktober Day 21 - Drain . "A wraith is malice incarnate, concentrated into an incorporeal form that seeks to quench all life. The creature is suffused with negative energy, and its mere passage through the world leaves nearby plants blackened and withered. Animals flee from its presence. Even small fires can be extinguished by the sucking oblivion of the wraith's horrifying existence." .

DnD Inktober Day 16 - Angular . The bone devil is the first monster that came to mind for this topic. They have a lot of spikes and interesting angles to their design.

DnD Inktober Day 10 - Flowing🌅⛲🌧️🌊💧 . I wanted to draw a water elemental for this🌊💧, with a bit more shape to her than just a blob of water, or a furious wave.⛲🌅 A friend pointed out the result feels more like an ondine, which is pretty interesting imo. .

DnD Inktober Day 7 - Exhausted . "The hydra is a reptilian horror with a crocodilian body and multiple heads on long, serpentine necks. Although its heads can be severed, the hydra magically regrows them in short order. A typical specimen has five heads." Also, hydras always sleep with one head keeping watch.
