Rycin’s father Castor Ponderosa. After Rycin came home after losing their mum, he blamed them for her death. Hair is very symbolic for them and he cut off Rycin’s—it symbolizes longevity and their belief in the earth, so cutting off their hair was Castor saying that Rycin was dead to him.
He did not cope well with the grief of losing his wife, falling into alcohol and abuse, primarily towards Rycin. Rycin left home after an incident where they got caught sneaking out of the house and making friends, transitioning and pretending to be some cousin coming to stay with them instead. By the time the campaign started, they had mostly left home to do odd jobs for the Golgari. When they came back to visit, Castor lashed out at them, revealing that he knew it was them, and Rycin’s best friend killed him to protect them. They’re healing… for now.
Since hair is a running metaphor for Rycin, they will never tie their hair up because it makes them look too much like Castor.

Chanterelle’s younger older sister Chanterelle’s original design. We ended up changing the birth order because it worked better in the story.

Rycin’s older sister Chanterelle (left) and younger sister Reishi (right). They both still live at home and work on the family’s rot farm. Although… things in the story have definitely taken a turn.

My girl from a completed campaign: Yáng Shì. Yáng’s named after the Pirate Queen Zhang Yi Sao and she started the campaign as the first mate of The Oracle and girlfriend of Captain Delphi Czestech and Quartermaster Kāne Kekoa.
After events and shenanigans, she is now girlfriend-less and the Captain of The Oracle.

And maybe if I’d been a little bit braver
Maybe if I stayed behind to fight
But maybe doesn’t let me go back and save her
Maybe doesn’t make it all right

Sometime after, they found their mother’s statue and made a garden for her. They sat in that garden a lot over the years.

…Tracing his face…
Rycin’s Season 2 design!! This was about 6 months after we first started the campaign and my art, as well as my character design, really changed a lot during that first year at art school. Pro tip: if you need to practice drawing more, start a DND campaign!! This is the most consistently I’ve drawn, ever.
This was after the masquerade and after they cut their hair short again, this time of their own accord. They still have their mother’s petrified finger (it broke off of her statue over the years), they turned 120, and they hung out and bonded with their sister Chanterelles and Nitrogen, an Azorius arrester/aspiring therapist they befriended when he was a teenager and sort of pseudo-adopted. Things are really looking up for them. Surely, nothing will go wrong, right?

Time is…
The first design of my dnd character Rycin from our Ravnica campaign, back when I made them over a year ago. They’ve come a long way since. Also ended up deciding they’re pan, they just don’t have great people skills.
Their hair is important to note through these designs. Their dad was not a great person and chopped their hair off so in this first design, they grew it out because they’re starting to go out on their own and be their own person.

Rycin found teenage Hamlin beat up in an alley after his first day as an Azorius Arrester and helped him out. They ended up having a Puss in Boots and Perrito type of friendship until Rycin eventually warmed up to him. Nitrogen is a nickname they gave him because he was such an “airhead,” and then it kind of stuck. Now in his 30s, their friendship has sort of evolved into more of a pseudo-parent and child. Nitrogen is a ball of absolute sunshine around Rycin, but he can be intimidating as an arrester. Whenever Rycin has a job cleaning up a body in a harder-to-access area of District 10, they invite Nitrogen and they make a day out of it. Nitrogen scares off anyone questioning what Rycin is doing there and Rycin treats them both to lunch/dinner afterwards.
Although he’s decently good at his job, Nitrogen’s goal in life is to be a therapist and help people. He struggled a lot when he first started out as an arrester because he always tried to talk people through their problems (and then got beat up because who brought a therapist to stop a robbery?). Last we saw him in-campaign, he finally finished submitting all the forms to be certified as an Azorius Psychologist and finally started Rycin “mom.”
Also here’s a doodle of Rycin and Nitrogen (ft. Yáng because we were doodling on a Magma board):


Secret Santa Art Exchange gift for @pidgeoneon!! Their characters are Yks’di and Patchwork (The Ghost of Christmas Patch) from our Explorer’s Guide DND Campaign Ɛ:
And because flower language is really fun, each of the plants in the border have different meanings relating to the characters too: Arbor vitae: unchanging friendship Milkweed: hope in misery Mountain ash: i watch over you Zinnia: lasting affection, daily remembrance, and good memories

Rycin’s most recent design: the Undercity. The outfit was lifted off of a Golgari noble so I added more detailing like embroidery and decorations that Rycin’s outfits usually wouldn’t be able to afford.
The shaved hair draws more emphasis to the stone half of their face, which they’re starting to embrace more after finally telling the party about what happened and being in an enchanting and new place.
And the gills are a long story involving a boat chase (they fell overboard).

when your dnd session gives you the perfect excuse to go on a rlly long ramble about your hyperfixation

context: they can listen to people through the mushrooms (hence why Arc wants them gone but Rycin wants him to keep them without letting him know)

We did an in-character drag show for our Alternian Mayhem campaign so here’s Adonis as Princess Venus!! Very French rococo inspired, and included colours to represent the entire hemospectrum too. The rocket ship hair is inspired by that one hairstyle with a model ship on their head, except a rocket ship cuz that’s how the crew travelled there in the first place (:
(no sunglasses version under the cut Ɛ:)


adonis art i did for class <3m
My girl Yáng became the new Captain of The Oracle after Delphi left so I (finally) gave her a new design!!

Very loosely inspired by Qing dynasty clothing since she’s based on Zheng Yi Sao. I had so much fun coming up with the embroidery but oh boy was it hard to apply
