#art: Phaela

[couchtaro]

Phaela

Fourth in my portrait series is my own girl, Phaela Murphy, tiefling soup twilight cleric and circle of stars druid. DM is @bacoj8.

Flowers

Huckleberry (Vaccinium parvifolium) : simple leisure, faith. Phaela's patron god, Thelona, is the god of simple pleasures.

Cineraria: always delighted

Queen Anne’s lace/Wild carrot (Daucus carota): sanctuary, home

Celery (Apium graveolens): Feasting, festivity

Stephanotis: desire to travel, friendship. Phaela and her best friend Izen live together in her truck, traveling from town to town in search of work and sights to see.

Bloodroot/Sweet slumber (Sanguinaria canadensis): protective love

Purple hyacinth (Hyacinthus): Benevolence, rashness, impulsivity, play, grief, please forgive me. Phaela's virtue name is Temerity, which suits her well-meaning but somewhat impulsive need to help others. She is playful and kind, but carries a deep grief as well.

Bluebonnet (Lupinus subcarnosus): self sacrifice, survival

Meadow cress (Cardamine pratensis): ardor, devotion, enthusiasm. According to folk belief, this flower brings bad luck if brought into the home. It is not included in May Day wreaths and garlands because some believed that wearing it would offend the fae, who would drag you underground into another world. Phaela was separated from her home forever when, in order to ditch a deal with a hag, she trapped herself in the Shadowfell.

Night Convolvulus (Convolvulus): night, repose, rebirth, affection, embrace

Sunflower (Helianthus): warmth, nourishment, devotion. This flower is redundant, I just wanted it as a treat. Yellow :)

Forget me not (Myosotis): Clinging to the past, do not forget me, faithful love, memories. Ough.

Check out the rest of the Pringles Party!

Theseus | Izen | Yancy | “Red”

My argument is FLAWLESS and my logic is sound. This is WHY I made Izen a drider. It was so he could be big and intimating and carry his homies around…

So ready to get this found family simulator GOING

My fellow players figured out Phaela’s backstory secret last week :) which is that before she sealed herself in magical resin for decades to escape a hag deal, she had a husband and young son

Do you get together with your friends once a week to imagine best friends you made up holding and getting held in desperation and terror as one of them rapidly turns to stone, the other flooding her with his literal life force, which manifests as a visceral compulsion to survive, in the hopes that it will somehow help her resist, offering “the closest thing to a prayer he has” as he begs his warlock patron to do anything at all, telling said patron “you don’t know her, but she’s everything” and pleading for her to live while watching her literal actual light gradually extinguish as the petrification overtakes her, all the while she is using what little mobility she still has to hurl lasers at the monsters attacking their friends who are defending them so he can focus his energy on saving her. Or are you normal

@justabitscrewy used every single one of her turns in a session-long combat to hold Phaela and RP her guts out and like. My word. I have to lay down. Let them hug. They’re goin thru it

ID and slightly more context below the cut

Image 1: a roughly sketched digital drawing of two D&D characters. Izen, a drider, is shown in his form of dread, a defensive state designed to frighten off attackers. In this form his face is bare skull, with four pairs of hollow eye sockets and purple mandibles on either side of his jaw. Tears run down the stark bone of his face. He is wearing the bracers that Phaela decorated for him by wrapping them in ribbon. With both hands, he holds Phaela’s face. She is a tiefling woman who looks up at him with wide eyes. Izen’s prized possession, a talisman secured by a ring of straps, is wrapped around her shoulders. Her chin is tilted up as if the stone spreading up her body is a rising tide she is trying to stay afloat in. She is petrified up to her neck with only her head and extended left arm free. Both are suffused by a starry blue glow, which is no longer present in the dull stone overtaking her. She holds starlight in her free hand that she has been trying to defend them with. Her expression is a mixture of desperation, determination, fear, and guilt.

Images 2 and 3: a roughly sketched comic. 1) Izen faces us. Phaela wraps her arms around him with her back to us, her head pressed into his chest and shoulders hunched. His hands rest on her back. 2) Izen bends down to hug Phaela properly, wrapping his arms around her and resting his head on her shoulder. His pedipalps also wrap around her for extra huggage. 3) Izen straightens and lifts Phaela up off the ground, his pedipalps forming a sort of platform that she sits on. 4) Phaela curls into Izen like a child, tail hanging limply down. One of his hands securely circles her back, the other rests on the back of her neck. He rests his head on her shoulder and one of his spider legs comes forward to hold her as well. Maximizing points of contact here. 5) Phaela wildshapes into a cat just to get super extra held. She is nestled in his arms, tucked under his chin, being gently stroked. Her face is still not visible.

End image ID.

Druid/Cleric is such an excellent combination, especially when your god is the god of simple pleasures and thus is just your cosmic bro/grandma (OC)

[couchtaro]

Some explorations of Phaela, my stars druid/twilight cleric! She became a druid on a plane where the stars are actually pods of luminescent sky whales. Her god is the god of soup (simple pleasures) :)

A little scene from soon after Izen and Phaela met. Sharp teeth aren’t so bad :}

[couchtaro]

Just have to say I am slowly finding your D&D OC art and all I can say is Phaela is so neat, she's so cool. A star druid / cleric?! And stars are pods of bioluminescent whales?!?! And her god is a god of simple pleasures?!!! I am in love, she is a stellar character, I am delighted.

Your art is fantastic, thank you for sharing her and your art!

Ghfhfhhfhd!! Fhfhd!! Ah!! (“Stellar” ha, nice one)

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you like her! As you can likely tell I forget to post here often oops. for your kind words, please accept some Images!

This is Phaela’s starry form (archer)! Those spectral whales fill with light and can be fired like lasers

Her old Shadowfell outfit, which she has resumed wearing now that they’re doing an arctic exploration quest!

Recently she was almost entirely turned to stone, starting with her hand, which no longer glows like the rest of her does oops! 💦💦 It’s fine though! Haha nothing to worry about nope we’re all better and fixed and any permanent scarring is like, nonimportant and doesn’t mean anything actually

#fr thank you what a sweet message! #just a statement just putting it out there to my followers that expressing interest in my OCs at all will reward you with Content #I am very easily persuaded to talk about them dohdhdh #Phaela #art: Phaela #planar pringles #Nona can we get this girl some soup. some comforts.

When one of your party members is a fox-god turned mortal, some quotes just hit different

An old comic I made at the end of last year in anticipation for our beloved found family corn field simulator D&D campaign, affectionately referred to as Planar Pringles. Ties and bonds are a colossal theme in this one, and I’m very unwell about it in the best way

A smattering of unposted Pringle Party doodles!

1) tfw you get trapped in a coffin or something for 500 years and none of your family seems to have cared and then your grandma shows up and she’s the biggest fluffiest love-u-est bear anyone has ever seen

2) we had a spa day! It’s possible that Phaela, who lives in a truck, hadn’t seen her back since getting stuck in some untested shadow ocean sludge and did not know that she looks like a whale shark now

3) also during the spa day we took a lot of silly pictures and snuck a dog into the hotel room and Yancy was an absolute delight

4) Phaela in everyone’s outfits

5) what if Phaela had dimples and we ignored all the very concerning visual development cropped out of the rest of the page

6) Thing I drew while listening to Theseus’s playlist. Self explanatory he is everything to me he activates my affection aggression

O frick wait tags. @bacoj8 is DM @lorebreaker is RedFennec Bastard Man Hesrude of Pringles @coffeecakecafe is Yancy, @justabitscrewy is Izen (who is here in spirit and in clothing), and @eaudecrow is Theseus

Have you twirled your paladin today?

@eaudecrow ‘s Theseus is the world’ strongest 50lb hay boy which puts him in the ideal intersection of “professional at blasting monsters into smithereens” and “holdable”

#planar pringles #dnd sketch #dnd doodle #my art #yes I KNOW what I said. I don’t care about any other 50lb hay boys. #Theseus is stronger from the weight of exploding once a day and carrying on as normal #Theseus #Phaela #Pringles #I accidentally put a poll at the bottom of this poll and couldn’t get it off. almost left it there #the options would have been ‘like to slap his bald head’ and ‘reblog to slap his bald head’ #art: phaela
