The last of the polished attacks I have planned! It’s Raze for @cosipurple.bsky.social 🪓 I loved her big purple braid and she looks so cool! Here she is ready to kick some arse! #artfight #artfight2026 #dnd #dwarf #teammystery #paladin

Raze is a female dwarf with purple hair. The bulk of her hair is gathered into one huge braid, with two smaller braids framing her face. A large bow is tied around her hair at the back. She wears scale mail armour and wields and axe in her hand. She is wiping blood off her face and nose while glaring forward, over her arm. Behind her, an open entranceway bathes her in light.

✦ Hi #PorfolioDay ✦ I’m Simon, an illustrator from the UK! I love to draw fantasy art and characters, particularly those from TTRPGs. My comms are open and you can find more info here: highestqualitypixels.carrd.co #ttrpg #fantasyart #illustration

A stone canal bridges over a small, but deep river. The canal is partially illuminated by magical lamps, though many are broken. Upon the river is a small boat, with a large, clay golem ferrying it. Golden, metal roots twist around its limbs. At its core is a cage of a similar metal and design, within which is a luminous glow. Its eyes glow too.

The ferry’s lone passenger is the Sun Knight, who leans over the side to look at the river below. His head flows a brilliant orange.

In the river below, another clay golems lays partially submerged, rendered an empty just after the passage of time. Golden metal roots twist out of the river’s high banks and the dead golem itself.

A man of Hispanic descent who wears the clothes of a reverend. A dark shirt and trousers, with a white cleric collar. Over this, he wears a short cloak that is trimmed and embroidered with gold thread. It bares skulls throughout the design. He has mid-length, wavy brown hair and brown eyes. A thin moustache grows on his upper lip. On his head is a wide brimmed hat that matches his attire. In his hand is a gold medallion baring a skull.

Group illustration featuring the past and present crew of the skyship — the Rokii. Left to right:

Rusty: Warforged Fighter recently awoken in the shattered world. He wields a glove and his armour is covered in rust. He looks curiously at a butterfly. Currently retired.

Sir Aloysius T. Loin: Porcine Summoner and recent addition to the crew, searching to make a name for himself. He is a small pig person wearing a trenchcoat and rides a hippogriff summon named Matthew.

Vex: Human Rogue and dashing thief. She is impulsive and wields a rapier alongside a parrying dagger.

Mako: Gaulbaro (Half-giant) Bard searching for proof of a mythic beast he saw flying as a child. Large in size and plays the shamisen.

Captain Hurley: Loxodon Artificer and Captain of the Rokii. He is on a pilgrimage from his ark shop to gather knowledge. A large elephant person wearing glasses and a green blazer.

Perry: Halfling Rogue and recurring guest character. A true southern gentleman and man of many words. He wears a green leather jacket and a katana.

Sez: Lepedaken (Lizardfolk) Cleric of the Sky Gods. A strange man who speaks in the third person. A white scaled lizard man with a religious shawl and a bloody flail dragging behind him. Currently on sabbatical.

Rokii: Avian Druid. A sweet druid trying to balance nature and unearth magics of the old world. Deceased.

Jamar: Aslan (Leonin) Barbarian. A vicious lion person who has a big love of food and was slowly warming to the idea of society. His heart had been replaced with a mechanic facsimile after he was left for dead. Recently deceased.

She is a woman with dark skin covered in luminous freckles. On her forehead is the symbol of the sun. She has glowing yellow eyes and big curly hair that fades from orange to red. Her tail is made of purple scales with veins of shimmering gold. Her fins are a vibrant orange and yellow. She is sitting on her knees with her back to viewer, looking over her shoulder. Her tail curls behind her.

Attack 4! ✨ This one is of Sister Rowena for Anyaskeart on Instagram! It was a lot of fun playing with the light and shadows! I have one more of these polished attacks planned, but I do need to tackle some revenges now. #artfight #artfight2026 #dnd #cleric #teammystery

Attack on Rowena for Anyaskeart on Instagram

She is a middle aged woman wearing the attire of a nun. Small curls of greying brown hair spill out from under their headband. Around her neck is a gold necklace depicting the sun. Her hands are out in front of her, surrounding a collection of radiant stars. She has a look of surprise and awe upon her face. Behind her, the sun filters in through a stained glass window.

Been sketching up a new Burn Bright illustration ✨ #WIP #sketch #darkfantasy #OC

Simon ☀️ Comms Open!@highqualitypixels· Jun 10

This years Birthday illustration! 🎂 Originally I had this as a new Meet the Artist, but scrapped that and just did a self-portrait scene ☀️ #selfportrait #art #pokemon #birthday

Self-portrait illustration. A man sits on a train, wearing a yellow shirt, navy chinos, and brown hi-tops. On the train alongside him are two Pokemon — a sleeping Cyndaquil and a Hoothoot — as well as a plush doll of my current D&D character, Mako. The sun is setting outside, bathing the carriage in a warm glow. Hidden throughout the drawing a small reference to things I enjoy, like Marvel, Hollow Knight, and D&D.

Simon ☀️ Comms Open!@highqualitypixels· Jun 10

Hello, hello ✨ Today is my Birthday! 🎂 I’d appreciate if you could take a look at and share my work! I’ve drawn a lot of pieces in the past year that I’m really proud of! ✨ #fantasy #dnd #OCart #OCsky

Wren is a young woman wearing dark leather armour. She holds a short sword with a white blade marred by soot stains. Her hair is white and cut into a messy bob. She has blue eyes and stern expression.

# Yasha Mighty Nein 2026

Illustration of Yasha from Critical Role: The Mighty Nein.

She strides towards the viewer with her massive greatsword over her shoulder and behind her neck. A tattered cloak billows behind her. She is a large muscular woman with one blue and one pink eye. Blood falls like rain around her.

Progression illustration of a D&D character from level 4 to level 15. Ragnar Gundersen began as a Champion Fighter, multiclassed into Monster Slayer Ranger, and finally switched to the Rune Knight fighter subclass.

Ragnar is an older man with thin, grey hair and tired blue eyes. He has a thick beard and a thin scar that cuts down his face and into the beard. He wears chainmail under blue cold weather clothing and leathers. In his hands are a long sword and wooden kite shield. A fluffy grey and black cat named Smudge walks beside him.

By level 9, Ragnar has upgraded his armour to a grey breastplate. Around his neck is a silver pentagram and a scratched, gold coin. In his hand he wields a hammer with a head of ice. Within that ice is a violent lightning storm that gives off a blue glow. On his shoulder, stand Smudge, who has been turned into a Tressym via a set of wings.

At level 15, Ragnar has geared up for war. He wears a set of full plate armour made from a white metal and adorned with a lightning design motif with blue trim. He is a full foot taller due to his Rune Knight subclass. His hammer is larger and glows green. In his other hand is a shield made of white dragon scales.
