Recently finished “Tier-2 style” commission for Skylark celebrating this year’s anniversary with their partner! Their DnD characters – Atticus in the back, a solider; Osiris up front, a sorcerer; and Pontos – Atticus’ trusty griffon!
Here the trio fly high above the skies, Osiris slightly hesitant at first, as he isn’t used to flight as Atticus and Pontos are!

Sketch of my in-progress male tiefling DnD character design
A friend is interested in doing a practice run of her own DnD campaign, and asked if I wanted to join. I haven’t done something like that before, but I said sure! She said think about which character and class I wanted to play as. I said I’ll get back to you!
After paging through the very long play handbook she said to use as a guide (I believe it’s the “2014 5e” version), I suspect it’s the hipster class, but I decided Tiefling looked the most fun visually to me. I’m still undecided on class, and tried sketching him to see if it might help me decided. Though the fireball there is mainly to signify that I think I want him to be a spellcaster, and not necessarily a fire-wielder. He’s also very loosely based on one of my existing characters, though I don’t think I have a post of him here on the sketchblog.
Anyway, for his DnD version, I’m leaning toward either Wizard (maybe “Enchanter,” “Illusionist,” or “Necromancer”) or Warlock (“Fiend” patron), and to a lesser extent, Sorcerer (though I don’t think I like the randomness of this class, from what my friend told me about it).
My being still undecided on class is why my tiefling there is still without an outfit – though I guess I could have put him in some type of cloth garb since I know I want him to be a light-armor/magic class. Well, I also won’t say no to practicing drawing male anatomy, haha.
