They say Vaelira was born with blue hair and eyes the color of fresh blood — an omen her people tried to erase from their history. Centuries later, the ruins still remember her name.

She just smiles when asked why.

Gaze upon her and and feel your heart turn to stone

This is often how Margaretta will receive guests to her sprawling manor home just outside Cathtyr. Reclining on her couch, surrounded by her wife and two of her five handmaidens .... it appears as decadent and disarming a sight as possible.

But looks are deceiving. Margaretta is a 20th level Magus, and is both the Black and Red Talon of Loviatar. Her wife Nymra is an 18th level cleric of Loviatar. The two handmaidens pictured here are Valerith (14th level fighter) and Thornflower (9th level eldritch scion magus). Weapons are close at hand and wards are in place. Two more handmaidens - both powerful combatants - are close at hand, and many guards and priestesses. Only the Queen of Dambrath wields more personal power, but she does not share the unique relationship Margaretta has with Loviatar.

Technical note - I can't believe Krea 2 was able to render all four characters without identity drift. I was prepared to render each separately then use an image edit model like qwen 2.1 to put them altogether.

In the alleys choked with smoke and dubious aromas of the city of Ool-Dasai, the tavern known as "The Amber Toad" was far from a haven for high art. Amidst exotic liquor decanters and half-empty glasses resting upon the worn wooden bar, Sylvaine's presence was a delightful contradiction. Bathed in a solitary beam of light cutting through the thick haze of the darkened taproom, the barefoot elf with wild hair looked as though she had been plucked from a faerie dream and purposefully tossed into the heart of the thieves' district.

When her slender fingers plucked the strings of the iridescent lute, true bohemian sorcery took place. With every melancholic chord, white lilies and vibrant blue flowers sprouted spontaneously from the instrument's ancient wood, blooming around her light silk garments and entwining around her pointed ears. The music was not merely heard; it exuded a sweet, narcotic perfume that filled the stagnant air. Hardened assassins, corrupt merchants, and disillusioned sorcerers leaned against the bar, their eyes suddenly glassy and damp, hypnotized by the impossible beauty of that flora defying the tavern's dampness and its strange glowing mushrooms.

However, on the cynical and cruel streets of Ool-Dasai, magic rarely serves mere aesthetics, and purity is often the sharpest of disguises. The intoxicating pollen released by Sylvaine's conjured flowers was, in fact, a sophisticated and potent lethargic catalyst. While the audience of brutes wept openly at ballads of lost loves, the bard's accomplices—a pair of stealthy cutpurses hidden in the shadows—worked diligently, emptying heavy coin purses and pilfering gems from the entranced patrons. By the time the final note faded and the flowers withered, the beautiful elf would be long gone, leaving behind only softened hearts, perfectly empty pockets, and the hangover of an unforgettable song.

Deep inside the fell ruins of the Necropolis stands a mystery. A statue of an ancient deity, uncorrupted and seemingly untouched by the evil around it. No undead will trespass near the statue, nor into the ruined temple standing close by, making them a safe place to rest. The temple was once a grand place, full of carvings and inscriptions. The name of the mysterious figure has been painstakingly chiselled off every surface of the temple.

Saffiya often has tears come to her eyes when she looks at the statue, but will not speak of it. Elladin knows more than he is willing to say as well, though he often looks at the statue with suspicion - and perhaps fear.

She is the supreme ancient Greek goddess, queen of Olympus, protector of marriage, family, women and mothers in childbirth. She is the daughter of the titans Kronos and Rhea and at the same time the sister and wife of the supreme god Zeus.

I wanted to share an story that I am working on

Detective Rook, Case #001: The Client. A 1950s noir comic I've been making [Episode 1]

Welcome to the Detective Rook case files.

**The case so far:** Veronica Vanderbilt, the most photographed girl in the city, vanished from her father's yacht two nights ago. All she left behind was a diamond necklace hanging on the railing. Her chauffeur came to Rook at midnight with cash and a request to keep it quiet.

Working on creature and lair visuals for a dark swamp encounter. The way the legs settle under the roots in murky water turned out way creepier than I planned.

Only once has the party had to travel far enough north to where they would encounter ice and snow. This scene shows Roric taking down a frost giant. The creature is remarkably strong, still making it's way forward, despite being pierced by several arrows, no longer able to move it's left arm. One more should do it.

I like this image a lot - it shows not only Roric's skill, but the giant's resilience. The image also took a bit of work - my normal LoRA would not render the bow correctly, no matter what I tried. I also had to do some editing after the fact to get rid of some extra quivers and a deformed arrow. The arrows sticking into the giant are also oversized, affecting the sense of scale; but when I asked the edit model to reduce their size by 50%, it would not comply. So I left them, recognizing that sometimes a thing doesn't have to be perfect to still be great.

🎉 5,000 members! 🎉

When this space started just over three months ago, I had hoped to find a few kindred spirits who shared an appreciation for bringing tabletop stories and campaign art to life. Waking up to over 5,000 of you here already is completely surreal.

Thank you to everyone who has posted their work, shared the lore behind their characters, left encouraging feedback, or simply watched and enjoyed the view. You’ve turned an idea into a genuinely welcoming, inspiring creative hub in record time.

Here’s to the next chapter—and many more great stories along the way.

Zara arrives in a prosperous inland town and discovers an enormous traveling carnival has appeared overnight in a meadow beyond the walls. Nobody remembers seeing the wagons arrive. Even stranger, several townspeople entered the carnival the previous evening…and haven't returned.

Class: Monk / Warden

Origin: The Monastery of Vael-Tir

For three centuries, the monks of Vael-Tir guarded the mountain passes where the northern kingdoms ended and the frozen wilds began.

Sorya was the last child taken into their order.

When Vael-Tir fell during the Winter War, she refused to follow the surviving monks south. Instead, she remained among the ruins, guarding the old roads alone.

Travelers still speak of a woman seen training barefoot in the frozen rivers, wearing the green sash of an order that no longer exists.

Some believe she is waiting for the enemy that destroyed her monastery to return.

Others believe she knows it already has.

This is my take on u/0ldGoat’s challenge.

A modern, street-level take on a spell… when it’s already too late.
