Art Collection: Exalted Art Challenge 2020

After much contemplation, I’ve decided to go ahead and mark the Exalted Art Challenge as ‘complete’!  I’ve been working on it since October of 2020, so it was time to end this not-so-short break from the Birthstone Goddesses, despite the fact I didn’t quite get to finish the final two topics of the Challenge due to life throwing some major challenges our way.  

My husband is thankfully home and healing very well from COVID!  We’ve both been resting after the sleepless nights and it seemed a good time to put this challenge to bed.  It’s time to recuperate my energy levels and embark on the next part of my artistic journey!

It’s been a really great ride with this Art Challenge and I’ve enjoyed the creative challenge of strange and new topics for a while.  Did you all also enjoy the diversion?  I’m curious to know how this crowd likes my TTRPG-inspired art!

I do eventually want to finish the comic for the “Favorite Stunt” topic during my free time.  When I do, you can catch the finished pages on my Exalted project’s social media accounts instead:

For now, enjoy a compilation of all the topics!  Be sure to click the links to the individual collections for more on each topic and its creative notes.

Nov 2018 Sketch Collection

I nearly forgot to share November’s sketches!  I did something a little unorthodox and combined two sketch requests together into one, which was a thing I hadn’t thought about, but that I enjoyed doing!

The Monk and the Druid

For the above sketch, Mei and Nansaidh are back kicking butt!  You can watch this sketch come to life at the recording of the livestream here.

Queen of Foxes

The next sketch in the batch was gift art for the talented Emybun, of her character, Irys.  The request was to draw her in queenly attire and I was more than happy to oblige with haute couture galore!

You can watch a stream of this sketch as it was made here.

I hope you enjoyed this little collection of what my Sketch Collectors have challenged me with.  I’m looking forward to seeing what December will bring!

D&D Portrait – Anko Xelkova

And now for something completely different!  I thought you all might enjoy seeing a character portrait I completed over Thanksgiving break.  With all of the craziness of this year, playing Dungeons & Dragons with my friends every other weekend has been an important escape for my husband and I!

My husband is the Dungeon Master of our merry little band, while I play this gal, a Tiefling Warlock of the Fiend.  Anko grew up in a Tiefling ghetto where many of her race consider it taboo to practice magic, as their mage ancestors once dabbled with fiends, resulting in their Tiefling ‘abomination’.  

That was never enough for Anko, who was always curious about how magic could improve the lives of her and her loved ones.  She also enjoys baking and helps her family with their small bakery to keep their poor neighborhood fed.  Her adventures with the party have helped her escape her fear of racism and gain confidence as a fledgling mage (now a level 20 through their epic world-saving adventures!).

Anko has been a delight to play as I’ve grown with her as she’s matured into a stronger person. It gives me hope I can do the same for myself in real life and bring happiness and comfort to others as well the way she does!

I drew the original sketch back in January and never got around to finishing it till now.

And here’s a detail shot so we can appreciate those freckles!

I know this isn’t like the other art I share here, but I figured you all might enjoy it anyways!  I’ve also shared more in-depth WIPs over on my Patreon Discord server, which all Patrons should have access to.

Everyone needs something that refreshes their creative well and tabletop RPG’s have been that therapy for me since I was a high school kid.

Do you guys play games?  Which ones?  What kind of character do you play?  If not, what’s your creative outlet?  Feel free to geek out with me!  I love to hear about this kind of stuff.

PS.

Are you a $5+ Patron?  Do you want a PSD file of this drawing to study?  Let me know in comments and I can share it for you guys, but only if there’s actually some demand for it.
