character: Zeke!so amongst the many D&D characters I’ve had over the years, one of my favorites would have to be actually one of my NPCs! I’ve been thinking about him a lot since it’s not only autumn but also Halloween and oh boy would he love both of those!!! This tiefling here was an lore bard NPC (probably one of my favorite NPCs of all time) in one of my now ended campaigns. His name’s Zeke and he’s such a dear! He’s a university student in a modern fantasy setting who became a cult leader in exchange for the minor deity (the god of arrogance and pride who has quite the penchant for musical numbers, making his entire divine plan known to the party in a catchy little song when they first met) paying his tuition! His parents wanted him to be an adventurer like them; he wanted to be a philosophy major, so they cut him off. When one of his friends from his philosophy cohort suggested this cool Hip with the Kids™️ new deity who was willing to offer money in exchange for help ascending to higher godhood, he was like “where do I sign?”. He enjoyed living his little secret dark academia life for a while, with the cool evil robes and candles and meeting with his six evil little buddies in a cave system underneath the university created long ago by the goddess Mystra. Eventually, he kinda wanted out since the whole “hey promise this sketchy trickster god your mind and soul!” seemed
just a little bit concerning to him. He eventually ended up coming to one of my players who hated his guts and wanted him dead and asking for help on getting out. They bonded and eventually helped him escape the cult and defeat the evil god of arrogance. He is honestly a goofy little goober despite his intimidating spooky looks and glowing eyes and I love him so much. He sleeps hanging upside-down from his tail from the standard issue dormitory lofted bed frame, probably with a little plush Cthulhu in his arms while snoring away in some ancient incantations, which I find super cute for some reason! He also gets cold really easily (so he’s always wearing nice warm fluffy sweaters under those intimidating spooky robes) and falls in love super easily! (And yes, of course I’m cool with him being drawn! C: )
extras:@ Exitium— oh my GOSH Sarah looks amazing! I love the variety her gallery has (and Kayara art too!!! I love kayara’s style so so much!!! She KILLED it with that secret Santa scene she did of Sarah)!!! Pink and green palettes on characters are just peak vibes!
@ucanthandleme— System!!! I remember seeing them get approved but oh my gosh!!! Now I’ve gotta know a little more about their lore! I just love their limited palette and braid!!! The veil accessory is perfect on them! You seriously killed it when designing them!
@lopsycat— I can see why they’re your favorite Kalon! Those eyes and facial markings! Wow!! I’m such a fan of sclera edits and that yellow pops so well!!! The double fang too >:3c adorable!!
@fadeV—mmm as a former warriors addict, may I just say I will always be a fan of dappled cats with scars? Maybe I just watched one too many AMVs but I will forever think dappled cats are just the coolest!! And holy heck, Hollowspite is no exception!!!
@griff— Floofy eldritch baby!!!! I just love those eyes!!! >:3 so monsterous but also adorable omg!!! The little water halo too!!! This is a weird compliment but it looks as refreshing as the water when you wake up at 3am and are parched lol. AND a cartographer too? I’m in love!! Seriously an amazing critter for sure c:
