Rahadin

"Rahadin, the dusk elf chamberlain of Castle Ravenloft, has served Strahd's family faithfully for nearly five hundred years. He is Strahd's eternal servant, a longtime comrade-in-arms, and a ruthless warrior who has killed thousands in his lifetime."

A monster through-and-through, Strahd's second-in-command. I wanted to play around with the portrait included in the module, atayi...

Khazan's Signet Ring

A platinum ring showing the wear of centuries, bearing a strange sigil on its face. The first image I made for Dragnacarta's Curse of Strahd: ReReloaded

Victor Vallakovich

In Dragnacarta's Cruse of Strahd ReReloaded, the Baron's son (and accomplished mage) Victor Vallakovich is a little less the sociopathic monster he is in the rules-as-written module. I tried to make him look young, rather well-to-do, scholarly, and incredibly tired.

Lady Fiona Wachter and Majesto

Lady Fiona Wachter and her familiar, the imp Majesto (currently in the shape of a crow). A little different than the way the module describes her (and how Dragnacarta imagines her), but I quite like it.

POLL #1 A Minsc and Boo-themed Inktober project?

I'm considering doing a fun Baldur's Gate 3-adjacent Inktober project next month, and I wanted to get your input on it, since it's likely to affect my Patreon output. I'm considering a large "Where's Waldo"-style image with the old characters of Minsc and Boo (a bald barbarian and his hamster companion) going through Castle Ravenloft. Of course, I'd still be sharing images on here ahead of the social media crowd, and my normal projects would continue in November. What do you think?

The Blue Water Inn

"Damp cloaks hang from pegs in the entrance portico. The tavern is packed with tables and chairs, with narrow paths meandering between them. A bar stretches along one wall, under a balcony that can be reached by a wooden staircase that hugs the north wall. Another balcony overhangs an entrance to the east. All the windows are fitted with thick shutters and crossbars. Lanterns hanging above the bar and resting on the tables bathe the room in dull orange light and cast shadows upon the wall...

Izek Strazni

The most feared man in Vallaki - part man, part something else? Had a blast illustrating this guy.

More than a bard! More than a teller of tales, he is... RICTAVIO!

Top-Down VTT Tokens v.2

Added some additional details in my (slowly) growing assortment of tokens. These are for my own group, but more are coming. In this group: a Dragonborn Blood Hunter, A Tiefling Wizard, a High-Elven Shield Paladin, a Kobold Druid, and a Half-Elven Cleric of Arawai (from Eberron).

Color and texture assortments coming soon! As always, leave requests and suggestions below!

Volenta Popofsky

Strahd’s second-youngest consort, ready for trouble! Added some notes to the MANY iterations she went though, but I’m pretty happy with it overall.

Ba’al Verzi Dagger

A design for something deep in Ravenloft lore, the Ba’al Verzi were a sect of assassins with infernalist tendencies, promising that their victims would be consigned to the Pits of Baator with no chance to resurrection. Legend has it that Leo Disilnya was one of their number, and, on the fateful morning of the wedding between Tatyana and Sergei von Zarovich, Leo attempted to avenge his mother by assassinating Strahd. Would that he had succeeded - the attempt failed, Leo fled to gather aid fr...

BONUS ART #1: Curse of Strahd - the JRPG

Was playing with proportions by drawing Strahd and the rest just got out of hand…

Top-Down VTT token samples

Some virtual tabletop token examples - I plan on doing a bunch of these in my watercolor style, particularly for people who sign up for Silver or higher - modular ones, ones for popular NPCs.

Volenta Popofsky Process sketches

A batch of sketches of Volenta Popofsky, one of Strahd von Zarovich’s brides known in the module as “the one with the mask”. She’s only really known for the digitally colored sketch Richard Whittiers did of her and the treasure you can loot off her (a mask and 10 platinum rings), so I employed a little creative liberty in interpreting her outfit. I hope you all enjoy this peek at what’s to come.

Special thanks to the ever-amazing Claire Hummel for letting me bounce my ideas o...

Greater Strix

Final (hi-res) art for my Curse of Strahd: ReReloaded beastie. 

Enjoy, and let me know what you think in the comments!

Greater Strix sketches, Curse of Strahd: ReReloaded

A flying scarecrow, meant to resemble a large, lion-sized owl, and equipped with silver barbs. Perfect for dispatching wereravens! 

Final art to come.

Sketch Post #1

Some watercolor sketches of the Martikov family, from Curse of Strahd. I thought the in-game art made them look a bit too much like gentry instead of hard-working innkeepers, so I gave them a glow-down. What do you think?
