Polka-dot tentacles give the best hugs, and this octopus is clearly ready to make friends. (Yes, I know that toothy mouth should really be a beak underneath… let the cartoon cephalopod cuteness override logical anatomy, plz!)
Here’s my sped-up octopus painting video:
Close-up view of that sweet face:
Anubis would be a good idea! A were-jackal in Egyptian style. His neck wrap is styled from the jackal statues in King Tut’s tomb.
See my werejackal painting video:
Here’s a close-up view of his face:
Ah, Stanley in his bowler hat! He is an audience-loved NPC/monster from our Scarlet Sisterhood D&D games at Nerdarchy on YouTube, currently streaming every Tuesday night at 7 pm Eastern.
I shouldn’t use the real monster name, so let’s call him an Overlooker.
We rescued him from his long-term solitary confinement… this may have been a very bad idea. Oh well!
Remember, don’t mix your dragons and your Plane of Shadow, folks! Nothing good comes of it.

Behold, a blue barbarian berserker! He’s got an axe to grind, into your skull.

This is the older, hopefully wiser version of my original Mage. Locals call him Old Man Wizard.
Whoooo has seen a blue and green owl before? Yooooou have.
It’s just the sweetest, happiest, shiniest burrowing preying murder-mantis you’ve ever met.
Oil-slick dark scales and a huge smile, who else would you prefer to meet in a dismal swamp?
Whether it’s a giant deer or just a normal-sized one, this elk is plainly happy to see you.
Watch my sped-up painting video for the elk:
This huge beetle is so cute, are you sure you really want to kill it? It could be your new mount with heated seats!
Check out my speed painting video for the firebeetle:
Sure, she may be an undead murderer out to get you and your friends, but at least she’s got style… plus her complexion literally glows.

When it comes to this evil spirit, do you stand a ghost of a chance? Har har har! … sorry, sorry….
Take a look at my undead spectre painting video:
When I run my D&D games in Roll20’s virtual tabletop, I put my room descriptions, trap info, or secret doors in hidden notes on the token layer — not the GM layer. Only I can see them. That way, I can double click on the note token and read my notes when the players get there, and it’s a nice visual reminder for exact trap locations.
Now, Roll20 does offer a GM layer, which is one place to park monster tokens and you could also put your notes there instead. But when running the game, why switch layers if you don’t have to? This approach gives me the options I want right where I want them: the token layer.
First you set up your master note token using these steps. Thankfully you only have to do this part once. Continue reading
He’s a sweet little choir boy… of EVIL. Pretty sure he’s in some horrible cult. Also, that’s a black Slayer t-shirt for sure, and the incense is poison gas.
Check out my acolyte speed painting video:
There’s something fishy about this fellow, like gill do something really crazy. I’d imagine he’s smelt better, too, on a scale from one to fin.
Check out the painting video for the fishman:
I don’t usually post session summaries, but people on Twitter seemed amused by the commentary, so here you go…. the heavy-rotation anachronism starts after breakfast. Heh, heh, heh. I love DMing this game!

That vest is dapper enough, but I hear these deep gnomes are not to be trifled with… especially those willing to work as a spy or assassin. Look out!
With an evilly cold breath weapon and a frosty attitude to match, maybe you don’t want to mess with this huge winter wolf. But… maybe she’s friendly? Maybe? If you’re Princess Mononoke.
Check out my winter wolf painting video:
Lotta wolves in D&D, so this could be a regular wolf or a dire wolf, who knows?
