Meta Rule Clarification

75 Upvotes

Good day characterdrawing !

There has been an influx of reports for off-topic posts and suspicions of AI use in RF's. There's a few things us mods want to clarify.

OFF-TOPIC:

Your post is off-topic when it doesn't relate to a ttrpg system. If you're looking for art for a book you're writing or a podcast you're running this is not the place. LFA's are free work for ttrpg enthusiasts however that also means that the artist keeps the rights to the work. If you need the art for a project that will be public and you will need the rights you will need to pay for the art. To keep this from becoming a commission focused sub, posts like that are not allowed as we cannot moderate which passion project will remain private and which are for the broader public.

And no, exposure is not valid payment.

AI SUSPICIONS:

This sub is firmly anti-AI. We are also anti-witch hunt. If you see a post that makes you think the artist is using AI please report it and include *why* you think it's AI. If you want to discuss your suspicions please use mod mail and we'll get back to you. Do not call the person in question out in the comments.

We know it's getting harder to spot the difference these days but we want to prevent unnecessary witch hunts and losing real artists because of them.

Meta [ANNOUNCEMENT] New year, new OC Monday!

Post image
33 Upvotes

Hey y'all! You better get Sir Donut Steel ready to for showtime, because the OC floodgates are about to open!

It took a bit longer to set up than expected, but thanks to the holiday break we've now got OC Mondays working, to kick off the new year! Starting this Monday and every Monday your original art and characters have a new place to show off!

How it works:

  • OC here means your own original work, don't repost stuff you found on twitter
  • "Monday" starts at midnight UTC (GMT-0) and lasts for 24 hours
  • Posts with the OC Monday tag will be allowed during this time
    • Make sure to include the [OC] text tag as well
    • We do this so users can search and filter by topic
  • There's no limit to how many OC posts you can make, but please be considerate
    • If you have a lot to share that week, please use a gallery post instead of multiple single posts
  • OC reposts are not allowed, no matter how long it's been. The 7 day rule is only for LFA posts.
  • Rules about advertising still apply
    • Keep the titles and content focused on the art and characters
    • You can link to your socials in the comments, but again, no advertising
      • Yes, a price sheet or YCH is an ad, even if it has a character on it
    • If folks ask about hiring you, you're of course free to respond and take it to DMs

Request [LFA] Kalisse, Archangel of Heironeous

Post image
• Upvotes

A stoic-faced judge of Greyhawk's LG god of War and Justice. Judiciously appearing for speaking roles as a woman with auburn hair, bronze skin, usual feathery wings, and a dress seemingly made of the summer sky, she takes a different appearance in battle to better reflect unbound holy might. Grossly incandescent and clad in pearlescent armor, her cirrus wings flurry and her hair blazes in a trailing rainbow of icy wisps refracting flame as she brandishes a holy bronze-hafted battle-axe, with a war pick in the shape of Heironeous' lightning bolt holy symbol, all while bolts-from-the-blue crackle behind her restraining eyes.

Planning to have her take part in a combat or two once my party actually quests to her, or maybe just one if they randomly decide they want to test their pride. Regardless, would be blessed to see what you do with the description and my MSPaint photobash.

Request [LFA] Jin'lath Lokruin, the Fire Giant Goliath. The Armored Celestial Warlock and Fitness Influencer to the Gods!

• Upvotes

Jin'lath is a fire giant goliath, and like many goliaths she's quite tall and imposing. She stands 7'7" and has grey skin and big messy firey red hair. Some kept in braids some just wild. Many say she's the spitting image of Sune the Goddess of Love and Beauty, if the Lady Firehair was a giant that is.

Maybe this prompted her to become a Paladin of Sune, but thats personal, so we didn't ask. It didn't take long for her to get noticed by a Planetar of Lady Sune, Ashaya. With religion and worship down in Faerun, the planetar Ashaya forged a pact with Jin'lath to help spread the word. Now Jin'lath is a celestial warlock in service of Sune. She promptly became a Vitality Celebrant (Fitness Influencer) for the gods. Her hair changed color that day, at least half of it did and became perfectly pure white.

She now travels the world spreading beauty the only way she knows how, being strong! She uses her rough and ready battle worn beauty and natural muscular physique as an ice breaker before speaking about Sune and sharing her love. "She's yoked!" they cry out. "She's so charming and kind" they say. "She's positively radiant!" they swoon. She always tells the people that Sune demands perfection, and she wont stop until she's the fittest!


Fluff aside...

  • Jin'lath is about 30 years old
  • Her skin is light grey bordering on blue
  • Her hair is red/white messy and big, very Norse/viking style, braids and messy (on purpose of course). Left side is red, right side is white.
  • She has glowing fire yellow eyes
  • She's 7'7"
  • She's very muscular and strong
  • She's vibrant and brilliant and bubbly. She can be a bit dense, but she takes her work, her fitness, and her friends very seriously. She doesn't sweat the small stuff.
  • She wears heavy armor into battle, but doesn't shy from showing off her physique, that's her job after all!
  • She's always trendy, Beauty is Sune's decree, even in armor and in battle she looks good.
  • She usually wields a pike, sometimes a big two handed hammer.
  • She likes layers and accessories and trinkets and pouches and jewelry and so on. Always accessorize!
  • She's a "medieval fantasy" equivalent of a fittness influencer. I envision her recording "videos" on sending stones or stones she distributes that play videos and stuff. She's a performer, a cosplayer (disguise kit), a charismatic goofball, always willing to speak with her fans and speak about Sune.
  • The sign of her pact, beyond the white hair, is a halo, but the halo can become a collar too. The job isn't perfect she is pacted, by immortal beings who don't know what it might be like to be mortal after all.

Just ask away if you have questions!

Thanks in advance for any considerations!

For u/AzuraHatesScamps - Original Post

I usually give my files names, so with your creative freedom, she is named Penthea. A twist off the Greek word for mourning; Penthos. This was a fun one to do, for a Strahd campaign I imagined her in a basement/underground chamber with a pool of blood. Enjoy! :)

Hey there,

I'm going to play in a monsterhearts campaign quite soon and I'd love to have my boy drawn in his wolf form. Feel free to give him an interesting stance. Some blood around the muzzle and claws is also not a problem for me

I'm somewhat slow at drawing (or over-working many spots) so I tried to challenge myself into completing this one in 1.5 hours. It was truly a challenge and how much I'd love to just change a couple spots but oh well :P I did add the shadow and the mist after the 1.5 hours, I'm a cheat like that :D

His whole schtick is he'll hire himself out to take over the more boring parts of your life that you dont really want to do in exchange for MONEEEY (or in the case of richer clients, the chance to live a luxurious life for a bit)

Request Filled [RF] Scra Ritari, Tiefling Paladin under the Raven Queen

Post image
263 Upvotes

A very purple drawing! The colour palette was surprisingly challenging as it was almost monotone but not quite, but I feel like I found a good balance in the end! I tried to make their scythe have a vague bird-ish profile as a nod to the Raven Queen. I didn't want to go too over the board on the jewelry as the design was already feeling quite busy, so the belt, rings and the bracelet felt like a good amount. I also found it fun that the name of this holy knight, Ritari, literally translates to "a knight" in my native tongue, so how could I refuse :P

Request [LFA] any shark enthusiasts wanna help me picture a sharkfolk based off the thresher shark?

I have a character in mind i wanna make thats a sharkfolk based off my favorite shark, the thresher shark. But whenever i picture sharkfolk, i envision big scary guy with muscles and mass, like king shark. Even google shows me the same kind of sharkfolk, tons of muscle, thick necks, look like they wrestled in college. Thresher sharks don't look like they have a lot of mass. Yeah they are strong enough to stun fish with a swish of their tail so i can see my guy having some muscle but i can't help but picture a sharkfolk with less mass than an 18 wheeler. Can someone help me just envision what im looking for?

Hello again, me and my group are gonna be running the Neon Odyessy game some time and I was wondering if anyone here can help remix my OC to be a cyber, Tron inspired, robot girl Paladin. The first image is her og art and the other 3 are references for how I imagine a character like that would look. Some of the art is screenshots from the Neon Odyessy handbook as well as art I found online of a cute robot girl. I want the intent of her design to be that like a cyber JRPG character so a little over the top but have fun with it. So if anyone has any questions then please let me know, thank you so much for looking and considering

Request [LFA] Rex Bot-Tum for star-finder

Post image
40 Upvotes

Hello! I am Playing a mini campaign and would like an image of my character! The picture above is a decent representation but not exactly right!

I am Rex Bot-Tum a criminal Vesk! Vesk are lizard people. Very tall and typically very thick! Rex is tall and athletically built. His life has been stealing, running from the law, and more commonly bar fights!

He’s a plated Vesk which means on vital parts of his body (arms, face, etc) his scales are much thicker and act as armor. On top of his natural green scales (the plated scales are darker) he only wears dark brown cargo pants and a half jacket with some fur around the collar. His eyes are lizard like and yellow. His teeth are carnivorous and sharp! Clawed feet and hands.

He’s a solarian so he does not have standard weapons. He essentially creates his weapons through energy in the universe. He always manifests a dagger in his left hand and an axe in his right and I would like to think they are like magenta or purple energy!

Also just for creative inspiration he’s a criminal. Known for mostly bar fights but he also steals and hops from planet to planet after his crimes get too noticed. He’s a jokester by nature and takes nothing seriously. Even his name is something he made for himself as he never had a family. Very crude and rash and dangerous! In session zero our party was on a ship crashing onto a planet and he told a member of the party “hey we’ve been crashing for like 5 minutes now. We have time to take some free upgrades on the way down. Not like these people will need it here after this is over”. He also told another member while they were cleaning a weapon “it looks like you have a lot of experience polishing a long barrel”. He’s just a jerk!

If anybody could draw this man for me I’d be so thankful!
