Tortle from D&D. Oddly enough, he is a sorcerer.
Painting was done to order.
Nature is the best source of inspiration!

I did a really rough sketch of my d&d party, we had our first session of the year today and well let's just say casting AOE spells NEXT TO YOUR PARTY MEMBERS is not as good of an idea as I thought. My character is the elf in the back, my drow sorcerer
A collection of characters from “The Thingamabobs”, A D&D campaign I ran that recently concluded.
In order:
Random Crimes (Teifling Inquisitive Rogue)
Clement Archibald (Tortle Way of Mercy Monk)
Mord (Goblin Warrior)
Lina (Abolec Hybrid Abberant Sorcerer)
Taras (Half-Elf Dragon Blood Sorcerer)
Zalvomireth (Young Silver Dragon, usually appears in the form if a cat)
The Great Hero Sam (Human Hero)
Volodymyr Palamachuk (Human Noble)
Serhij the Relentless (Human Tempest Cleric)
Star Saga objective item (the virus in a cool case), and a bag of gear that I think gives you an ammo reroll if you are lugging it around. These are two items that could easily have just been tokens, but I'm rather glad that they were physical objects because then it gave me something to paint and it's actually easier to keep track of a 3D object on the board, even though it can cause a little more clutter.
I am still working on my dry brush techniques, and in the picture there are two brushes; one of them is a professional dry brush that cost $7 and is starting to fall apart in the middle. The other was part of a makeup brush set from a dollar store and is not falling apart. They both work about the same, but if the cheap one breaks it's easier to replace. I found out about the dollar store makeup brushes by watching Tabletop Minions channel on YouTube where he has tons of great tips for miniature gaming and I highly recommend it.
The Tortle Sorcerer is trying to decide which brush deserves his wrath.
New minis available, including Yatl, the busty and beautiful Turtlekin beauty. There's also a lot of other new minis from this collection which are available as well. Check us out! 😉
Because I’m eyeing the books about to come out in August, and because I love me some space fantasy so much. So. Some character concepts:
An aasimar aberrant mind sorcerer who was conceived/altered when their parent’s vessel passed too close to the dreaming corpse of a dead god in the Astral Sea and whose crew only realised what they must have drifted near when they were born
A ‘space walk’ marine/salvage/pirate crew consisting of people who don’t need to breathe (warforged, autognomes, dhampir, reborn) or can hold their breath for a really long time (air genasi, tortles, plasmoids, possibly lizardfolk but that’s cutting it very tight), so they specialise in airless boarding and salvage manoeuvres
A dubiously sane outlander/hermit character who’s been stuck on a barely-habitable asteroid/shipwreck for decades and is alarmingly eager to see civilisation again (fun options: barbarian, artificer, warlock)
A space druid from a serenely drifting biodome/series of biodomes that are all that remains of the ecosphere of a destroyed world (any subclass, but spores might be very interesting for the whole ‘recycling’ aspect, and wildfire might be frowned on in an oxygenated biodome floating in an airless void – could be a good reason why you’re no longer on the dome, though)(hands up who also watched Silent Running)
A warforged/autognome who escaped the hellish cathedral ship of a master who sought to make a mindless/soulless automaton vessel with which to sail into the Far Realms and back (hands up who’s seen The Black Hole and/or Event Horizon)
A sage/scholar of the Astral Archive, a legendary celestial library floating in the Astral Sea, hollowed from a vast asteroid and barred by great golden doors, in which the lost works of a thousand worlds are salvaged and stored (possibly they were lost on their respective worlds because you stole them for said library, but you know how these things go)
A changeling, a space flim-flammer and confidence artist, who is running from their clan who just happen to be the origin of at least some of those stories of creatures stowing away on vessels in order to slowly kill and replace the crew one by one (there is at least one vessel flying out there where the clan literally did this, one or two more coming aboard at each stop and port until the whole ship had been taken over and the previous crew, except for one or two rumoured survivors, all dead and in the hold). Naturally you don’t tell anyone any of this. It’s a good way to get yourself stranded on an asteroid out of paranoia
And, following on from some of those, some location and adventure concepts for things you might find floating in wildspace/the Astral Sea:
The Astral Archive, a mythical celestial library floating in the Astral Sea
The Forged Grove, a druid grove and biodome containing the salvaged remnants of a lost ecosystem
The Telleril Conclave, a once-a-century gathering where all the biodomes and druid circles of the lost world of Telleril come together
The Swansong, a vast and eerily silent spelljamming vessel that, upon boarding, appears to be inhabited solely by grim and disinterested constructs … until one reaches the helm and the captain’s quarters, and the maddened master that inhabit them
Livyatan, the gargantuan, city-sized corpse of a dead whale god, floating frozen and calcified in the Astral Sea, rimed in ice and the dust of dreams, in whose flooded and hollowed innards strange waters flow and even stranger creatures dream
One Tree Island, an absolutely miniscule asteroid platform on which a single tree maintains just enough of an air envelope to support a tiny shack and one extremely lonely and mildly insane hermit
The Stargasst Eddy, a vast conglomeration of wrecked spelljammers and astral vessels that, according to various rumours, is either the remnants of some massive long ago battle, or a cursed eddy in the Astral Sea where a nearby portal to the Far Realm causes strange psychic storms to periodically wreck vessels in the vicinity. Widely considered haunted and extremely cursed, but also so very ripe for salvage …
And one last one just for me:
Panopticon, a partially destroyed beholder cityship, a hollowed metallic asteroid ruled over by the maddened Council of Five, the sole survivors (and possible instigators) of whatever event saw the death of every other beholder in the city, who pilot their maddened vessel onwards in search of something, picking up unwilling passengers and stowaways as they go

Spoilers about Queen's character and the events of episodes 109-110, specifically the ep 110 rolled below the cut
So, I'm listening to the Just Rolled With It about Riptide episode 110, and the detail about how Chip could potentially forget who he is (if he fails an intelligence saving throw badly enough) intrigued me: the boys asked if it was possible that Captain Widow's crew had forgotten who they were, and Grizzly said that it was possible.
Which got me thinking--Grizzly also said that not all of them had potentially forgotten, but that some of them had, and I realized immediately another character we've met that has a connection to Captain Widow and amnesia: Queen.
I don't think this is possible, but I feel like there's a very small chance that Queen was a part of Widow's crew and had their heart stolen, and then their undead body forgot who they were and that's why they have amnesia.
Captain Widow had seven hearts, and when she took Chip's, it was the eighth. Niklaus had Widow's heart in his hand, so I don't think her own heart was actually inside of her, which would make the original seven belong to Widow's crew. Widow has six crew members: the woman Gillion fought in the dungeons (1), the clockwork sorcerer (2), the minotaur (3), the gluttonous tortle (4), the violist (5), and the chain-angel (6).
That still leaves one heart, and I think the seventh heart belongs to Queen--who, notably, remembered something specific when fighting against the violist on Widow's crew.
Obviously, there are holes in this theory:
Queen does not have complete amnesia, and demonstrates the ability to recover memories of their backstory--also, Grizzly said the undead memory loss caused a person to forget everything about themselves, including their ability to talk, and Queen seems like they can speak perfectly fine (the "lalala-ing" is more of a quirk than anything else, I think). Grizzly hasn't said whether or not undead-amnesia can be recovered from, so it's entirely possible that Queen forgot themselves and is now only just starting to remember who they are/were.
Also, Gillion has done multiple divine senses around Queen and none of them have revealed that Queen was undead. This is the biggest hole in this theory, and really the only way I can think of to work around this is that maybe Queen managed to find a way back from being undead--maybe they found another heart, and so they're not undead anymore but Widow still has their original heart.
I think that's all I've got right now! I don't think I'm 100% right, but I think I'm definitely onto something, so let me know if you've got additional information, whether it helps to prove or disprove this :) There is a pretty good chance I will come back and add onto this later as more information is revealed, so stay tuned!
