Swordtember Day 10 - Painting

First, I would like to say that this weapon that I love the most so far. The mechanic is inspired by Circle of Mutation Druid created by Ghostfire Gaming in their Grim Hollow book, and I would love to use this type of 'point buy' mechanic again for items or perhaps class/subclass in the future~

This year, I want to try making the stats for some of them, not all, but hopefully, a decent number of ...

I'm playing as the grandmother and matriarch of the family, Esmeralda Idr...

Hi everyone~

For this month's Patron Creation, we're gonna meet characters by Archivist Suprluigibro, A leonin Armorer Artificer, security and escort personnel, and volunteer worker, Seaz Embermane.

It took quite some time to understand the lion face and find a balance between 'humanoid' and 'lion' face since I don't want just to use a lion head as-is, so I modified it a bit so that I can easily portray human-like emotion while keeping the proportion pretty rea...
