It's the year of the Fools! I'm joining art fight for the first time this year and I'm so hyped for the themes 🎭artfight.net/~ValerianDreams✨ [ #artfight2026 #ArtFight #TeamComedy ]

My Art Fight card! It shows the name of my personal art account: Valerian dreams. I'll attack clowns and anything that catches my eye. I will do friendly fire and revenge, and might do mass attack but I'm not planning on it as of yet. I have human characters, monsters, a clown, and fey.

D&D party gathering at the Trollskull Taverna 💀🍻 [ #commission #TTRPG #art ]

An eclectic D&D party boast cheerfully inside a warm tavern made of wood, toasting each other with tankards of ale. To the left sits their discarded gear leaning against a spare table and chairs. The bartender smiles amicably at the group from behind the bar. The tavern is decorated with paintings gathered during their adventures.

A moment of respite between Rook and Lucanis among the flowers 💙🌺 [ #commission #dragonage #veilgaurd #art]

A soft illustration in blue and purple, the character Lucanis lounges in Rook’s lap among a field of blue flowers. He plays with her long red hair and she places a flower behind his ear. They are sitting beneath a small tree with white petals.

I lost the battle with my adhd and binged #Hades2 all weekend, so I did a lil doodle of Melinoë to try and get back into the art groove today as a compromise with myself lol

Another #commission from a few months back. Got this one in the middle of winter while playing a lot of Skyrim, which I think was a wonderful coincidence ❄️

A halfling woman with her hair in two long braids, wearing a thick fur cloak reaches out her hand for a tiny owl familiar to land on. She stands amid a snow covered forest landscape.

Vanessa Dambach@vandambach· Mar 14

This was so fun to paint, I love bards! Everyone, commission me to draw your bards pls and thank you 🙏💖 #art #TTRPG

A woman with golden blonde hair in a loose braid swings from a pink hoop trapeze, smiling brightly. She wears a glittery blue ring master jacket and a red cravat. She holds a cane in one hand with a large heart shaped amethyst in the center, and the other hand holds on to the hoop. She is highlighted by a strong round stage light against a red curtain and there is colorful confetti in the air.

Something of a somewhat different flavour than usual. This commission kicked my ass, but I learned a bunch of new techniques and my client was happy so it was all worth it in the end #dndart #eldritchhorror

An eyeless man in a crisp white suit offers you a jade token with 3 unsettling eyes. Reality seems to shatter around the idol, and the man tilts his head at you, smiling widely. There is a writhing darkness behind him.
