@yearningtobemeRequested:
Could I please get an illithid-kin (gnome ceremorph if you can, but not nessasary) moodboard with a goblincore twist? (Plz don’t add an image of an illithid however… thanks)

More toys for when you need something to match your 90s windbreaker.
I’ll be getting back to the Mud Sea soon, but drawing cute Dungeons and Dragons monsters in repose has been very soothing lately.

ALTDoodled up some expressions for Thalia! I like to think that illithids can change their coloration like cephalopods can and a lot of their facial expression syntax is based off of that and tentacle position.
She has some amount of control over her facial coloration, but it’s predominantly subconscious and if she forces an expression the coloration is somewhat static and has less of a gradient to it. When she’s making the expression naturally, there’s shifts of color and the gradient colors are more natural.
Thalia’s natural smile is of her tentacles wrapped around each other, but she has learned that when interacting with non-illithids, they don’t really understand that she’s smiling, so she curls her tentacles up to make it mimic a “regular” smile.
She can see through the nictating membrane, but it’s a one-way type of thing.
Traced over a JC Leyendecker painting for a socks ad with my girl Thalia and had a lot of fun doing like, painterly coloring!
Very very pleased with how it turned out, and I feel like it was a good way to practice shading and coloring. Definitely going to be using Leyendecker pieces as reference more in the future.
Figuring out Thalia’s clothing a bit just for fun!
Here’s an “official” reference sheet for Thalia featuring her in her elf disguise and mask.
She’s so much fun to draw…

Zanthos on his riding lizard.
Our Eberron party accidentally wandered into the Underdark - the way you do - and came across this intelligent gelatinous cube riding on top of a platform covered with slime and fungus, on the back of a large lizard. Zanthos warbled incoherently at us through different languages until it landed on Dwarven and could finally talk to us, and then bent our ears back asking about everything. Its best friend is an illithid, who gave Zanthos the lizard and platform, so Zanthos could move faster and accost even more people with questions.
In my mind, Zanthos is the color of orange Kool-aid. Inside, he has a set of tea cups for sharing with friends, and the bones of some unfortunate (although already dead!) bodies he cleans up in the Underdark caverns.

Something I’m working on…
One of my Twitter followers pitched the idea of creating a calendar called the Monster MANual, where it’s all D&D monsters redesigned as hunky guys, fireman-style.
I couldn’t not do it
