Drawing I did while I was away of Teimahr (he/him), my Great Old One warlock (with a level in bard)!
Teimahr is a Deva - a variant of Aasimar that looks cooler and lives through many reincarnations - of indeterminate age. He is an amnesiac because when I first made him I couldn't think of a proper backstory and woke up one day in a shepherd's hut or something on the outskirts of a town of people who feared him with a pact with the Great Old One and no idea what happened. Not really sure what to do, he became something of a travelling scholar, unofficially speaking, wandering around and studying in libraries and picking up the basics of crafts from people he encounters.
Ultimately, he wants to learn more about his own origins, because he only remembers snippets of past lives and nothing about this one before he woke up that one day, but he genuinely adores gathering information about anything. For all his book smarts, though, he has very low wisdom and is a bit socially inept. Being intimidating - both due to his celestial heritage and being 6'7" (usually closer to 7' in his heels) - and pretty help him out a lot on that specific front, but he tends to be a bit too trusting and prone to unintentionally breaking social taboos.
The party he's with now found him in sitting in a pond in a cave where he'd been checking out the local cave flora, and he has since begun a career in amateur theatre.
The tentacle on his hand is a side effect of a gift from his patron he received in the campaign I'm playing him in currently. Once a day, he can attempt to access forbidden knowledge from an eldritch library (or, as we usually describe it, he can use Google). If he fails, however, he takes psychic damage and becomes blind for a bit. The little plushie octopus is a representation of his patron as imagined by Teimahr and contains his arcane focus, which is incomprehensible to most people: the plushie makes it perceivable, although most people would struggle to hold it even encased like that.
This image has been put through Glaze, hence the weird visual effect on it. I recommend using it if you post art - the idea is that it makes it harder for AI image generators to use your work effectively if it gets scraped. I post all of my unGlazed art on Ko-Fi for subscribers and donators, if you are particularly dedicated to seeing my drawings un-wibbled!
