Now available as a replay! Watch me draw an orc wizard, talk up Patreon, and have a chat with surprise guest, Seeing Him co-creator Kia!
This episode does run for about 2 and a half hours. It ran extra long because a) I wanted to keep drawing, and b)…
There’s no livestream next week.
I’m getting ready to move to my new apartment June 1. So no livestream on May 30. Streams should resume on June 6. If that changes, I will make posts here and on social media to let you know.
This is a replay of a livestream I did earlier today.
I livestream every Saturday from 1 pm to 3 pm EST on YouTube. Every Saturday I share what I’m drawing, pro tips on being a better artist, and slices of my life. What do I draw? Every week it’s a different theme. This week’s stream theme? Monsters! MONSTERS EVERYWHERE!
Also in this stream/replay? A GIVEAWAY.
If this replay gets 40 likes on YouTube between now and the next stream, NeverEnding, Inc will give away a FREE health potion vial to a lucky viewer!
Which is fitting, because these monsters are being drawn for NeverEnding, Inc.
So be sure to give the replay a like on YouTube, yo.
King Luxon IV was a good king. Many in his land would say he was the best leader their kingdom had ever known.
However, one day, King Luxon welcomed a stranger into his palace. This stranger revealed himself to be a vampire – and the vampire killed everyone in the palace.
Almost everyone.
A loyal advisor to the king led Luxon out through the secret tunnels, allowing Luxon to escape. Luxon attempted to return to the palace, but discovered too late that the vampire had taken over the kingdom completely. The vampire’s legion of monsters overran everything in less than a day.
So Luxon wandered through the countryside, lost, confused…and hurt. Until he came to a graveyard. There, he saw her:
The Raven Queen.
The Raven Queen watched over the souls of the living, ensuring that their transition into the afterlife was peaceful. Luxon soon learned that the Raven Queen hated the undead, and those who would raise the undead, as they are a violation of nature.
So Luxon swore his loyalty to the Raven Queen. She gave him the power he sought to fight the undead – and now he fights to reclaim his lost kingdom.
The origin for the idea of this character is a long story, but it boils down to this: ultimately I asked myself, “What if an actor, who’s known for playing melodramatic characters, created a character of his own for a Dungeons & Dragons campaign?”
I was surprised that Luxon IV came out. Because I normally don’t play dramatic D&D characters. And I ESPECIALLY don’t play magic users.
Luxon is actually the first warlock I’ve designed.
If you’re curious, I’m using the Unearthed Arcana version of Warlock, specifically the pact with The Raven Queen. This particular subclass gives you benefits that the usual Warlock doesn’t get, and acts a bit more like a cleric with a vengeance.
However, unlike cleric, this is a Charisma-based build (because it’s not like we have a lot of charisma-based magic users in D&D, BWAHAHAHA). This makes sense for his power to be based on charisma, given his background.
As far as the sketch? I’ll polish it up a bit more eventually, but I wanted to share it as-is. I’ll post again when I ink (and maybe even color) this bad boy.
Thank you for reading!
You. Are. Awesome.
