__"The Arachshin are a mysterious spider-like species of humanoids, known for the strange ability to mimic the appearance of others. In the old kingdom of Demenore, the Arachshin were hunted and persecuted out of paranoia, fuelled by the fear of monstrous spiders disguised as humans, luring others to their death and devouring them alive. However, when the curse swept across the land, the Arachshin were one of the few species that remained unaffected. Now they might be the least monstrous thing in all of Demenore."__

Artwork for my new 5e TTRPG book I am working on. Here you see one of many new playable species: The Arachshin.

Hope I gather some interest in this project.

Enthralled, enslaved, and groomed to their master's wills-an unknown number of years pass under the darkness of the temple. A group of heroes came to defeat the monstrous lord. The vampire fled with a small number of his coven into parts unknown. Through freed from the vampire's control, its touch still lingered on Azreal like a cursed stain. Choosing to utilize his growing vampire traits he searches the world for his missing sister which has led him to the edges of Ravenloft. Despite his mask of apathy-the cracks are forming and a king of nightmares will take every advantage...

A sketch of my OC Hannele! She's underdeveloped compared to my vampire boys, but she's still cooking. At some point I played around with an AU where she got involved with witchcraft & survived to the current timeline via "fighting monsters requires monstrous tools"/magic life extension, and I liked it well enough that that's just canon now lol

She was born in 1670s/80s Finland along with Lucifer, and has similarly been through Some ****. She was a poet when she was younger and she continues that today with the writing she puts into her spells. She was Lucifer's first close friend & girlfriend before he was a vampire, and they meet again MUCH later through her being hired to take out his husband Roman, but it works out okay and they become friends again. She's drawn here with a protective barrier around her.

This was drawn in the iOS Notes app.

Here's some sketches of my oc/avatar and a little character lore!

Nysereus (Nye-sear-e-us), is a shadow entity and Queen of V̷̹͌͜I̸̛͙ͅO̸̲͖͊Ţ̷͐͘Ḣ̸̼̰̔H̵͇̪̚A̷͉̓̈́L̶̡͐̎N̴͖̜͋̈́N̷͖̠͐͝Ō̶͇S̷͓̈͛ where it and all flora and fauna are cloaked under deep purple shade and stars. While her dimension is lush with the darkness she loves, she has taken quite a liking to that of the human world and travels there often--donning the name 'Nocturnum/Nocturne' as well as animal hides/pelts.


She has a fascination for any animals she comes across (especially reptiles, bats, and bears). And while she loves to hunt and collect the pelts, scales, and bones, Nysereus only takes what she intends to use or eat. Her ever growing collection is well taken care of (she is proud to show it off!). One of her favorite being the bear skull on her head, adorned with violet leaves from her dimension.


Along with collecting, she takes up drawing in her spare time. Whether it be in the walls of one of her many temporary trees/caves across the world, back in her own dark sanctuary, or on a canvas, you can find her scrawling on something. She might even draw for you (if you're willing to pay the right price with some blood bones)!

Potion making is another of her many hobbies, as if botany in her own dimension wasn't enough, plants in the human world certainly strike her interest (despite her complaints about how small most are).

Human technology and games seems to pique her curiosity--nothing like the magic she's used to, but they seem fun!



Able to shapeshift her body as she chooses--her true monstrous form unknown to most. Nysereus seems to enjoy spooking random passerby in the dark, occasionally taking on the form of various animals or creatures (albeit with a more eerie look) or conjuring ghostly wisps.

While this is a harmless prank of hers, she saves the much meaner ones for those who don't respect nature. So be careful if you don't clean up your trash, she might shift the forest around on you (or worse..)!
Otherwise, while Nysereus looks mean/creepy, she's curious and friendly to most who happen upon her.

From the tar rooftops of the old world, to the gleaming arcologies of the Neotopians... from the C-beams glittering in the dark of Tannhauser gate, to the D-Rings clattering on the latest Stepford models.... from the glow of orgone cabarets in under-city moloka bars, to the crunch of little glass vials under-foot in the flesh-markets of necropoli ... the notorious "Gang of Four" espouse their high-minded virtues and engage in low-minded vices.

The dragon, Xinjinmeng, the transuranic uranian who burns her bridges with other socialites before she even crosses them. The tiger Doctor Banks, accredited physician whose calm exterior is cover for a dark and monstrous abyss. The bird Lieutenant Ypsilanti, a veteran of the French Gendarmerie who knows where many a body is buried. The tortoise Professor Grafenburg, who pushes the limits of her tenure out of a desperation to keep her nihilism at bay. Their appetites exceed their capacities, their intentions belie their expressions, and their reach exceeds their grasp.

I'm doing Froggyfall. Which is a frog themed daily prompt list for the month of October by Munespice (twitter). But I draw my axolotl characters.

I know this has probably been done before, but seeing a monstrous dakimakura sounded too fun to resist!

So, here's Kyrie! In her paralysing glory.

What would happen if the ugly duckling was loved by her family at the beginning.
In a serene, secluded glade nestled deep within a quiet forest, there was a tranquil lake. On its clear waters lived a family of swans, known for their elegance and beauty. Among them was a young swan who, by traditional swan standards, seemed different. Her feathers were not as pristine, and her neck was slightly shorter. Yet, her family didn't ostracize or mistreat her; they cherished her for the warm heart that lay beneath her unique exterior.

As the years passed, this young swan grew into a remarkable young woman, a human, through an inexplicable transformation she couldn't comprehend. Her family's acceptance and love only grew stronger as she navigated the complexities of her newfound humanity.

One fateful day, an ominous purple fog, thick and otherworldly, began to creep closer to their serene lake. This eerie mist carried with it a malevolent curse, one that twisted everything it touched into monstrous, deadly forms. The swan family, once a symbol of grace, became grotesque and vicious creatures under the curse's influence.

Helpless and heartbroken, the young woman watched her beloved family transform into monstrous beings, their once harmonious existence shattered by the malevolent fog. She knew she had to find a way to save them, even if it meant losing her newfound humanity.

With unwavering love in her heart, she embarked on a treacherous journey to uncover the source of the ominous purple fog. The path was fraught with peril, but she was determined to break the curse and save her family.

Deep within the heart of the forest, she discovered the malevolent force responsible for the curse. In a fierce battle, she fought for her family and for the chance to return to her swan form. The conflict was fierce, but her love gave her the strength to prevail.

In the end, she managed to break the curse. As the purple fog dissipated, her family slowly returned to their graceful swan forms. However, she found herself unable to revert to her own swan form. She was now trapped in her human body, forever changed by the curse.

As she mourned her own loss, she noticed that the world around her had changed as well. The forest, once serene and harmonious, had become a dark and menacing place. The creatures that had once inhabited it had turned into monstrous, deadly beings, shaped by the butterfly effect of her altered destiny.

Determined to protect her family and restore the forest's beauty, she accepted her role as the guardian of the lake. With courage and love, she fought the newly monstrous creatures and strived to bring back the peace and harmony that had once defined their world.

In the end, while she may have lost her swan form and watched the world around her become monstrous and deadly, her love and bravery prevailed. She stood as a symbol of selflessness and sacrifice, determined to protect the ones she loved and to mend the ripple in the fabric of their reality caused by the strange purple fog.

“ the fog is killing our world” the big bad wolf staring at his world falling apart with Tears in his eyes.
