Description For those of you who don't know, I play tabletop games with my friends on Saturdays, and lately we've been playing D&D. One of my friends wanted me to draw her character and I owed her a favor so I drew this for her. Her character is an eladrin elf, and really the eyes should be solid green without a white but I didn't like that version I drew so Anyway she loved it. It took me longer than expected because I've been working on multiple things at once and not really uploading anything.

Anyway, I hope you like it! I also tried to get in some background practice here.

Ah, I can't remember them all. A few were homebrewed, a few I did a long time ago, here's the ones I remember:
D&D 3.5e, 4e, and 5e
Pathfinder
Scion
Shadowrun
Dungeon World
13th Age

And then there were quite a few homebrewed ones.

Never played Dungeon World - what's it like?

I have played a few homebrew, but to be honest, none of them were terribly succesful :-/

It's like a way more flexible and lax version of D&D. I feel like it's smoother and more fun, but I don't like rigid rules. The group I play with is split, two people like rigid rules, two people like flexible rules, one is in between although tends toward D&D because she enjoys watching Critical Role (or Roll, not sure, I don't watch it so I'm not sure which).

The homebrews I've played were played mostly for one offs. They were amusing but definitely wouldn't hold up under a serious campaign.

Also, I was silly and forgot to mention two more that I've played more recently:
Paranoia (honestly, I have no clue why I forgot this one as it's probably my favorite tabletop)
Dread (another pretty good one with a super neat mechanic of using Jenga instead of dice)

I've heard of Dread, but never played it.

...and I own a copy of paranoia, but have only played it once at a con, some years ago.

Paranoia is really fun if you know the group you're playing with and their nervous ticks and have a GM good at psyching you out.

Wow like OMG this has to be THEE most original & interesting dungeons & Dragons character frigg'n EVAR!!! So creative & unique, its like this is an entirely new class of character entirely on its own!Β 

Lolz, I'm just messing with you. To be honest I have always found it weird how you manage to get your brushwork so neat & orderly. Is there some kind of tool or technique you incorporate or do you just wing it? Its bloody awesome. Her head looks a tad bit oversize but I didn't really finish reading the description so this could just be a kid... wow I wonder why no-one ever thought of playing as a kid in skyrim... that's like, instant invulnerability.Β

Lawl XD so unique. much creative. wow.

I work on really low opacity and use the mixer brush a lot. I start with hard shading and then just blend down to smooth. As for the headsize, I think it's the way she's twisted partially making it look like that. But it's not like I was going for super realistic anyway.
