SBCV Secret Santa CommissionI had to abbreviate the title, because otherwise, it would have been too long. 
Anyway, this is a commission piece for anqel on Discord! These are the characters from our D&D group: Shadows Beneath the Crystal Veil. We are a very large group as you can see. 
The story of the campaign is that a High Sorceress named Morgana was murdered by an unknown demon one day. She was the protector of the Crystal Heart, which kept Arcadia safe from the demon realm. However, it has been stolen. The king calls forth a group of adventurers to have them venture Hell in search of the artifact. These are the chosen ones.
Honestly, the story is both dark as hell yet hilarious (like every D&D story
) because man, do we get caught up in the weirdest situations...
I shall list the characters from left to right— then front right to front left— and give a short description of them, because everyone is so awesome, I swear.
Aurelius: A young Cambion (half-devil, half-human) ambassador and future Lord of the Pride District. He's both a warlock and a sorcerer. He is sarcastic, a diva, and unusually charismatic. Generally the one who gets us out of trouble. He also is a bit of a debauchee. He likes to give people nicknames for some reason.
"Robin" (D&D Lilyana): She is my character. Like in the original universe, she is a Human lady and a singer. In our D&D campaign, Lilyana is a healer (sorceress) and forcibly engaged with a Celestial named Amadeus (he's different from OG Amadeus). She's a sweetheart, maybe a little too good for herself and a horrible liar. Fun fact: Robin is a nickname Aurelius gave to her. "A lovely name for a lovely songstress."
Seharis "Ris": an Eladrin Elf who works as an assassin. She is an enigma, but she was once a consort of Grazt'z, the Demon Prince of Pleasure and one of the main antagonists of this campaign (Amadeus is becoming a close second). Their relationship is... very complicated. I honestly love her, but she can be shifty. >_>
Bohdi: A human fighter and former guardian of Morgana. He carries guilt over his failure to protect Morgana. He now guards the newly appointed sorceress, Emma. He's... not the sharpest tool in the shed, but it's extremely important that you know that he's shiny and very good with crows XD
Heron: A Cambion paladin, former gladiator, and Hound of Horus, the Duke of Wrath. He's very passionate about fighting (he's in a contract to kill 10,000 people, he has claimed 6,000.) But he's quite jovial and a man with strong family values. He has a sister and a mother who he adores. He also has a panda named Chicken Nugget. So he's friendly, nothing too bad.
Eillenae: An Eladrin Elf druid with a very mysterious past. She's bubbly and sassy to a degree, but when it comes to questioning, she becomes dodgy, more so than Ris. Her appearance changes with the seasons or moods (right now, this is her autumn form). She's also crazy powerful and has a scary but adorable rabbit named Mr. Waffles.
"Pouncing Dagger" Praxis: A Tabaxi ranger who is on a search for their brother, Arrow. Their past is also a bit of a mystery and they are in constant survival mode. Fortunately, they do find their brother and embark on a different adventure (the player left for scheduling reasons, but I wanted to include them because they were an integral part of the team). They also happen to be a bartender. A very good one at that.
Mamsey: A warlock Plasmoid (slime) who works as a chef. They belong to well... @Mamsey They used to be a human man, but a very sickly one. They made a pact with an unknown entity (who later turns out to be the Duchess of Gluttony) in order to give them another body. Now they're a slime and very happy about it. They are goofy, chaotic, but can be serious when the occasion calls for it. Honestly the comic relief of this campaign. They also left, but I wanted to include them with the muffin they heavily promote because... Yes. 
They HAVE to be in.
I actually have a scenario written when I finished it, which I will share with you all~
___
Aurelius: Everyone, gather around so we can get this over with.
Bohdi: What's that?
Aurelius: It's a camera. An apparatus meant to capture us in real time.
Bohdi: A what?
Eillenae: Ohhh, you mean like a painting?!
Aurelius: A—
Lilyana: That sounds wonderful! I wonder if it can capture magic.
Aurelius: Just stand over here and make a pose.
Ris: Well don't mind me, I will just stand here with a mistletoe.
Heron: I'm taking this spot! Holds both Bohdi and Eillenae Is this the part where we say "cheese?"
Bohdi: Why cheese?
Mamsey: Cheese? Who said cheese?
Everyone except Ris: Mamsey!
Aurelius: Mamsey, get out of the camera and stand behind us!
Mamsey: Oh, is this like a promotional material?
Eillenae: I think so?
Aurelius: No it's—
Mamsey: Oh, in that case, I can show my muffin! Pops it up
Lilyana: Fox, does it have a timer?
Aurelius: Yes, and if you don't hurry up, it'll—
Praxis shows up
Aurelius: Praxis, not you too!
Praxis: It has an eye.
Aurelius: Get out of the—
Ris: Darling, can it hurry up? My face is starting to hurt.
Lilyana: I know! I'll do this trick since it's Christmas!
Heron and Eillenae: Cheeeeeeseee!!
Bohdi: Why do we have to say cheese?
Aurelius: Will you all just shut up?!
Mamsey: "Mamsey's Marvelous Muffins, coming to a restaurant near you!"
Aurelius: MAMSEY!

If you read this far, thank you so much! ;-;
This took me a long time to finish, but I loved every second of it. I tell you, it looks better and smoother in real life. Colored pencils for some reason look weird on the scanner. But regardless, I'm happy. Jan 28, 2026

This looks absolutely amazing!! Adding so many characters to the same illustration without making it look overcrowded is very impressive. Love how you can see all of their personalities shine through and that they each have something that makes them stand out!

•"Do you know the muffin slime?"
"The muffin slime?"
"The muffin slime!"
Also, I love that the dude who's bodied 6000 people and has 4000 more on his ledger is the "nice" guy.
You had to have put in a ton of time on this, and it shows. What a great job!
