So... I gave in and made my tav into a illithid 👉👈

A rogue bard that fell head over heels for his dreamy Guardian~

Pink basically runs in his veins and he somehow kept his body freckles as well as the bottom bitch eyelashes.

Original sketch~

"SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL."

This took so much longer than it should have 🫠

I did four customs in the span of 2-3 days I don't know what possessed me but here they are.

Customs were opened again for all of 5-10 minutes before friends snatched them up so here goes another dazed spree of custom work.

I made myself a pfp that i wanted to use on my discord account yay 👍 basically just turned my fursona illithid kinda. and used a cool pink sea slug (Hypselodoris flavomarginata) as inspiration.

Another illithid Bebe! I’m happy with how this one turned out UwU

This was supposed to be just a normal squid but then I forgot and added the brain and now I guess I just made a very well-fed Ulitharid =w=

“Who are you ?”

“I am… Awake.”

(First and probably last attempt at making what is supposed to be stained glass)

And thank you to @steampunk-sorcerer for helping find their/his official name !

wishing you all a very happy illithid new year guys!! thank you for all the support 🥺💙

Finally, I have gathered the courage to make another oc (that i hopefully will not abandon). This is Dralliss, a Mindflayer :>

She has quite a few funky features about her. As a human, she was born with a total of 12 toes and 12 fingers, so it translated into her current state in the form of extra tentacles, fingers, and toes. She also can not walk or lift heavy things due to how damaged her bones and muscles are.

Dralliss doesn’t really go out into the sun often. She prefers to stay inside the castle walls, as it is easier to spy and control the people inside 🥰 so the heavy clothes are there as a backup!

This is my first attempt at a mindflayer, so feel free to roast the shit out of me 😎

(please don't, or i will cry)

I can't think of any specific question so this is your free "ramble about any fic or idea or character you want" card now!!

Thank you so much for the free license! (...and sorry I've been so slow to respond. I'm about 1/8th of a person trying to get by in life LOL)

I'm gonna take this as an opportunity to talk about the worldbuilding I've done more or less within Toril, specifically in creating a number of related illithid colonies that behave rather differently than others in the Underdark. It... started as one and just got a bit out of hand, as worldbuilding tends to do, heh.

It began with a trio of illithid OCs in a throuple and the colony that gave rise to them, and then I began thinking about how their colony might have come about in the first place and that turned into a fanfic featuring madness, tragedy, and Ilsensine's meddling. I haven't updated it in a little while but it's far from forgotten, and I have plans to work on it as soon as I clear out a few smaller ideas that are pestering me.

The ultimate aim for this story is to create a setting that people will be welcome to use in their own games or writing, either the specific colony and NPCs I've come up with or other colonies founded by this one that they can tailor to their own wishes. (And all with thanks to @tcfactory for putting the idea of a "wine aunt Elder Brain" into my mind in the first place. The ulitharid that becomes this particular Elder Brain ends up being one of the main characters in this fic eventually.)

The main point of view character is an illithid who has begun dabbling in the arcane, but before they are caught and made to flee for their life madness seizes the colony. They manage to protect themself with a spell, and then (along with a few other survivors and the help of a visiting ulitharid) they begin putting their lives back together, albeit in a new order. The other survivors are the priests of Ilsensine, and the fic is written from each of their perspectives in the form of records left behind, inscribed in the absence of an Elder Brain to hold their knowledge.

If this sounds interesting and up your alley, feel free to check it out, though I certainly won't be offended if you'd rather wait for actual updates or until it's finished.

And thanks again for the lovely ask!

This is it, I'm done for. I finally made an Illithid OC, there is no more escape from the squid rabbit hole, I'm gone forever!

This picture will be an exception in that I'm releasing the HD version to everyone so they can have access to the correct colors and details of the character! No Photoshop file will be available though, I don't want to share this one's
