A little sketch of the arch angel uriel! Drawing heads at an upwards angle like that was a new little experiment but I like how it turned out.

The Host and The Sin
Does anyone else remember being told that plain host (unlike protestant flavored host) was a practice of self control and restraint? Just me? Okay. The catholic church was weird.
For those two and a half of you uninitiated, this is my friend and I's dnd characters. Ba'al and Uriel formally, but Barak and Maxwell informally. Specifically we both just happened to choose the Lord of the East of Hell and the rejected arch angel as out OCs, and it was magical.

Bael and Asmodeus
Long story short they're gay and both demons but one of them (bael) is a fake ass bitch and won't commit to shit and sells out the other (asmodeus) to heaven to protect his wife (among others). Get it? Got it? Good.

Ba'al body study
Tumblr media
Me? Shading something? More likely than you think. Still need more anatomy practice bc some areas don't read, but I think I conveyed his body type pretty well! Did I mention he's technically a druid? It was the only way to encorporate the polymorphing of Bael (demon form).

Meet Ba'al
A Fertility and storm god, Ba'al used to be the premier diety of the bronze-age Levant. When the pantheon fell to monotheism, though, Ba'al found himself Synchronized away from his friends, families, and even enemies. Ba'al was Synchronized into Bael the Demon King of the East. Loosing all of his powers and strength, Bael has all but given up. And when his wife, Athena, is taken hostage, he agrees to work on the side of heaven to set up a puppet government in hell, controlled by Celestia. In doing this, he is agreeing to betray the other gods, and his new and closest friends in hell, just for the life of seemingly one god. But what the betrayed don't realize is that there are multiple hostages. One of them being Ba'al's brother, Adonai himself.
Inspiration for this design: I'd be lying if I said that I didn't take a lot of his design from artwork of his father, Dagan, mixed with artwork of Ba'al Hadad specifically. This design has gone through a lot of iterations and think I'm finally happy with it.

Meet Mot
(As from a dnd campaign)
Mot itself simply means death, and Mot has always lived his life assuming he was nothing but death incarnate. When the Canaanite region started to become the place of Adonai (God's) people, he realized he and many of his fellow gods, even his strong brother Yam, were all dying. Mot welcomed death, after thousands of seven year cycles of war. To his surprise, though, he woke up with a new title. Now he lives his life, no longer death itself but King of the Underworld. With life by his side, he finds himself at peace. That is until once more gods start dying, and Mot realizes he can't save them from Christianity alone.
Some notes on his design: he's actually inspired by this cute little deer I found lived in the levant region! Deer=death Ig? I didn't know how else to interpret the horns of the art work I found. That's the spots too. Like a little faun haha!

Meet Yam
(From a DND Campaign)
One of the big three, Yan represents the ocean. With his trusted sea serpent, Leviathan (Lotan) he represents chaos and unpredictability. When the Celestial starts to wage war on the infernal, Yam strikes a deal as to not have to get involved. How he found the collateral for such a deal when he's an unknown God from an ancient pantheon is unknown.
About this design: Yam is very much the inspiration for Gods like Neptune and Poseidon, so in my head he often masquerades as either when it suits him. Synchronization is a bitch. So in modern times, he looks much like any othe sea god, with strong features and oceanic motifs. The real tell for him is his trusted serpent that never leaves his side.

Meet Anat!
(As portrayed in our dnd campaign)
Anat is another war goddess, and sister to Ba'al. She struggles with anger, but the second She's calm she's an unstoppable force. She's incredibly protective of her friends and family, going so far as to murder death itself for killing her brother.
Notes on her design: I'll probably be replacing the red with purple! Because the Ba'al tablets specifically suggest her eyes have purple makeup on them. Specifically, that from a crushed seashell.

Meet Ishtar
(As portrayed in our dnd campaign)
Don't get it mixed up, Ishtar is a creator not a mother. She created all things, and personifies both love and war. Among today's humans it's rare for one to know her name, let alone know her. She thus has an illusion of mystery about her that she's used to travel earth for the past few years freely.
Notes on this design: so the crescent may stay or go, we shall see. It's a little hard to draw consistently the same size and dimension. Ishtar is Iraqui, Akkadian if you want to be specific. This design is likely to change a bit too before I land on something I actually like. We shall see! I chose the black almost blue Hair to contrast with the yellow star and moon motif.

Athena (wip)
(As designed for a dnd campaign)
Athena has always had her head in her books, no interest in suitors. How she ended up married to a Fertility god is a complete mystery. But the two just click? They can talk for hours about death and life, War and peace. He's never expected anything sexual from her, only the challenge of a brilliant mind. And she was more than willing to spar in the realm of dinner debates. That's when rumors start to fly of a war on the horizon. One of the current most powerful religion in the world, between heaven and hell. Terrified she will side with the infernal, and to control her husband, the newly appointed "God", Am, sends to have her captured. Her fate is currently a mystery, even to her husband.
Some stuff on the design and story inspiration: this design is likely to change up (along with Aphrodite tbh) they're both works in progress. Their races however will not change. This design is Greek and Semitic as a nod to this goddesses predecessor. In game she is NOT synchronized besides ofc roman synchronization. That's because I'm dodging around an issue that is common in ancient texts. If you're a history buff and know what I'm dodging pls don't bring it up 😅 I did keep the amber eyes of an owl though. Always likes that touch. But I'm thinking I might switch her design to blue and red, more colors of war.

Meet Aphrodite
"Barbarian" class
(As portrayed in our dnd campaign)
Once the mighty goddess Astarte, Aphrodite became Synchronized Greek. With the growing popularity of Christianity though, even her Greek position is slowly being corrupted. Now, seen as a personification of vanity instead of a war goddess of the fires of passion, she struggles to find respect among even her fellow gods and goddesses. Aphrodite works hard to fall into the role her humans want of her, but inside she still is mourning the loss of her children. Especially her favorite son, Attar the Morning Star.
A little bit about the influences for this character: so I wasn't actually inspired to race bend the usual portrayal of Aphrodite bc of anything old, rather a new art piece put up in a local museum of mine that featured aphrodite cast as a black woman in a piece inspired by "The Birth of Venus". After doing some research and finding that Astarte was commonly worshipped in parts of North Africa, I decided it was fitting. Besides, even in historical based dnd there should be a diverse cast of NPCs.
