SOOO i'm aware that at 8:32 i rolled a 19 instead of 16, it was just a mistake 😭 and since it matters so much to some people, i'm aware that i roll my d100 "weird". i treat the 0 on the d10 as a 10 always. and 00 on the percentile as my zero always. yes, some people don't do this way, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter because i'm just having fun! you roll your d100s the way you want and i roll it the way i want
EDIT: thought it over a bit, personally vouching this still leaves a list of possible numbers going 1-100, not that my opinion matters to any of you, now please read past me's dumb comment below. not attacking, but if i'm not mistaken, using the dice that way is tantamount to excluding ten percent of any chart you use them for, yea?
@@jester333 does it even matter? they did this art for fun. what does it matter that they didn't roll the dice a certain way? If you want to do it your way, do your own art challenge that way. its not that deep, bro TwT
Replacing the bones with the plushies is such a heartbreaking and heartwarming representation of their character growth. Also, having a character who lost their parents and thus struggles with grieving and perhaps also with letting people get close, love plushies is so perfect and again heartbreaking.
I can already imagine she stuff her plushies with magical totems to use them as a tiny soldiers :D send them into the sewers or tiny cracks at the walls to open passages or throw them at her enemies to suffocate them with tiny plushie hugs :D "Plushie Master Barbarian" :D oh oh and maybe those totems made with dead animal bones to reanimate them as once they are alive. Like use bird bones on bird plushie to reanimate dead bird . plushies have a purpose as a flesh for them.
omg i didnt even think about using them as improvised weapons! if i played them in a campaign i could customize the wild magic table to include the plushies coming to life and helping 🔥
I like the idea of Ren finding a dead creature in the woods and out of pity putting them in the plushies she buys (or perhaps making her own?), as you said to serve as flesh. It's just a little bit of necromancy. Maybe their goal is to resurrect their parents in a similar fashion?
Loved the video! If you’re still confused about what an Archfey is, it’s basically just a really powerful fey. In terms of power, they have near god-like power in usual DnD lore-so they’re basically demigods. Some people in a certain popular live play show have even used an Archfey as their patron deity for their cleric character.
The timing of me finally planning a campaign with people and then I SEE THESE VIDEOS IT'S A SIGN!!!!! A SIGN FROM THE HEAVENS!!!!!!!!! I WAS MEANT FOR THIS DnD LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really love the transformation of Ren throughout the video, just learning more about the character as she's being created was so awesome to see, and the artwork is great, I love how everything comes together at the end and how the character turned out. (I struggle a bit when it comes to creating characters that feel "natural" to me, but I think rolling dice is one of the best ways to randomize and flesh out characters, especially in a fantasy setting.
Something I would be interested in learning a bit more about is Rens relationship with her parents. Did she grow up with a good relationship to her parents or were they strict and imposed values in her that made her feel familial obligation to find an antidote for them? If it was the case that she loved her parents but they did not necessarily have the best relationship, her plushie obsession could also indicate a lack of warmth in her relationships with her parents that she seeks in plushies (or if she had a good relationship to her parents it could be a way for her to cling to her childhood and past, reminding her of warm memories of closeness to them). I think looking a little deeper into that can bring even more complexity to her character! Great video, I’m so excited to watch more of your dnd based content I’m loving it ☺️
still watching but big fan of the first traits being short, very short, followed by another short LOL but using dice for designing is so clever! ive been having trouble with designing characters recently and watching you (and your dice) brainstorming with the different concepts has been really inspiring/refreshing! awesome work !!! :)
i have no idea about the dnd logistics but creating a character out of dice rolling sounds so fun!!! Ren Ta'ar's story progression has been so interesting and i love the color choice in their design 🥰
You could use the d10 for masculine-feminine as a scale next time. So a 1 is hyperfeminine, a 3 is femme, but not extremely so, 5 is androgynous with a trend towards femme and so on! Love the videooooo
Little percentile dice tip, you read the 0 of the d10 as a 0 unlike when you use it as a solo d10. Example is rolling 40 0 is just 40 and not 50. 00 0 is 100 just because you cant roll a 0. I know it seems backwards, but these dice are always the hardest to read. If you use the solo d10 rule then you roll 100 with 90 0 and that's not how this works. Hope this helps when rolling in the future 😊
im too used to treating the 0 as a 10 always. idk how much it affects the chances of doing it my way where 0 = ten and 00 = zero, but it's worked for me so far! i think its not that big of a deal when i'm alone but i'm still capable of doing it the "correct" way if i were with a group and rolling d100s
Honestly this video was so much fun, I think people would absolutely eat up if you made a series of this video idea. Making a new character each episode with this process. Art and the commentary was so fun
This is awesome The name had me in bits of giggle bc ren-taar sounds like "rentar" the spanish translation for "renting" i think is clever and cute haha❤❤
Nice video. Story time with art is fun. The character looks more like a grumpy elf than a hobgoblin. I'm goingvto go with the whole 'anything gies' idea since its your character and channel.
yeah its my take on a hobgoblin that matches my artstyle. i think it might be more obvious if i drew a different angle but they have a flatter hooked nose and not a deep nose bridge
Ive seen a similar video idea used by thestarfishface, its so cool how 2 artist tackle the same video topic and how the videos vibe come out so differently! This video is like you use the dice like a custom magic 8 ball meenwhile star uses it as a spring board of basic things and she messes around with the concept until she has a character she is happy with- both really cool formats!❤
6:26 😭 you only asked a yes/no question to if they’d be a barbarian. I thought there’d be a number table for class like for race. Amazing still none the less, the character looks super cool 🎉
New video 😢 ✨️ yay I love D&D, but I don't really know how to play 😅 happy to see a new video 🤍 I'm Eagerly Waiting for another episode of D&D. 😭✨️ I know I change the subject every second but I don't know how to express.... There is so much I want to say.🙂
Great video and cool character!! I feel like I learned a lot watching you design, not to mention the injection of inspiration! Thanks and keep up the awesome work!
I just loved how they turned out!! The plushies belt just made everything more unique and interesting!! This has to become a series! And watching you drawing is soooo satisfaying, I was so happy the whole video bcz most things that I wish you drew, you did! Like the moles on their face and the detail on their lips! (srry if there is any grammar mistakes, i'm a brazillian fan who is really lazy to check it on google translator :p)
You're art is so filipino if that makes sense cuz of the warm colors u use:3 im filipino and i kept hearing abt dnd but Idk how it works and yr the first person who made me interested in learning the game!!
a cool tip when it comes to making decisions on, well, anything, but especially in art, is just flip a coin. if you're happy with the result, then you can go on ahead! if you feel somewhat disappointed, then now you know you prefer the other option, and can go ahead with that instead.
I was thinking of an evil version of Ren, like what if the fey that found them was evil and wanted to use them? So maybe their parents still passed as soon as the antidote was found, and Ren blames the richer class for her situation, but the fey promised Ren a way to resurrect them. Since Ren is still angry at them the fey kind of uses the grief/wrath they have and Ren continues to hurt those people and steal something- blood, money, bones, etc. that the fey needs to make the resurrection potion. And so there's Ren's motive for hurting all these richer people that come with their carriages or whatever down the path in the forest she's in. tldr: What If Ren became evil when the fey decided to use her to collect blood/bones/some other resource from the rich people (that she resents for her parent's death) in return for a resurrection potion Ren believes can bring back her parents :)
They yassified my goblins. I can't have shit in detriot. Honestly, it's really cute design, but you could have told me this one, a very short elf, and i would have belived you.
yassified yes, just another version of a hobgoblin 🙂 we all have our take and i wanted mine to be this. in the future i can always draw a more monstrous looking hobbo

@ AGDHDJAJTAGSF NO WAY I JUST BINGED UR ENTIRE MISTWIND SERIES IM SO EXCITED FOR WHATS NEXT 🫶🫶🫶🫶

Just like a DnD OC: soul crushing backstory involving parents and crime.
😅😅 its always dead parents dead family

"dirty, bizzare, and powerful" the dice have decided youre making a jojos character
Omg real af
At 8:40 when you said “Let’s get a noun” I got an ad and the first word was “taxes” in a very serious voice 😭
loved the dice cam ontop of the speedpaint 🤩

obsessed with their haircut and outfit! you're amazing at designing characters waow.. kinda reminds me of lilia vanrouge

Love your vids and art!! I'm so ready for this video :3
Edit: I really like the format of this, may use it to make a character of my own!
Really impressed by how everything wove together in the end 😄 very well done!
They are so cute! I’ve never been into dnd or anything so the dice rolling and everything for a draw with me was super cool 💕
watching you draw is addicting. Your pen control is incredible and I love this design so much. I think I might try it later too!
im so obsessed with the design and their plushie collection omg
Such a cool barbarian design! I love how you made them unique (and a little heartbreaking)
the way you just drew the eyes absolutely blew my mind i’m so amazed

I loooooved this! It’s a really cool way of doing character design! I could watch a thousand more of these!!,
Hobgoblin Barbarian who collects plushies is such a fun concept, Ren looks awesome.
6:26 😭 you only asked a yes/no question to if they’d be a barbarian. I thought there’d be a number table for class like for race.
Amazing still none the less, the character looks super cool 🎉
there are tables but sometimes i ask on expectations and yes or no is easier for that 😅
This is so entertaining and satisfying!! thank you!!
New video 😢 ✨️ yay I love D&D, but I don't really know how to play 😅 happy to see a new video 🤍
I'm Eagerly Waiting for another episode of D&D. 😭✨️
I know I change the subject every second but I don't know how to express.... There is so much I want to say.🙂
I absolutely ADORE their design and backstory! And the plushies are such a cool idea. I'll definitely be trying this exercise myself!
Great video and cool character!! I feel like I learned a lot watching you design, not to mention the injection of inspiration! Thanks and keep up the awesome work!
Love it. I had an elf named Taar, I think it's elvish for fox so you chose the right plushie :)
:O
I just loved how they turned out!! The plushies belt just made everything more unique and interesting!! This has to become a series!

You're art is so filipino if that makes sense cuz of the warm colors u use:3 im filipino and i kept hearing abt dnd but Idk how it works and yr the first person who made me interested in learning the game!!
My name's Ren and I'm a Filipino D&D player and occasional DM and this video is so weird to watch for me 😂 This is very cool, though!
i love these types of vids
a cool tip when it comes to making decisions on, well, anything, but especially in art, is just flip a coin.
if you're happy with the result, then you can go on ahead!
if you feel somewhat disappointed, then now you know you prefer the other option, and can go ahead with that instead.
dude, ur videos r awesome for people that are stoned and have adhd
I love this!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO PLS DO MOREE!!!
This a dope idea imma try this out with random generators online
LETS GOOOO
PRETTY ART
In 14:55 the cloth in the middle is called a loincloth I’m pretty sure😭
the dice sure knew how to cook up some soul crushing trauma 😭❤❤
This is so cool!!!
Ta'ar means "something sharp" in Hebrew btw
And when the Archfey that gave Ren their powers tells them about a really exclusive set of plushies only found in Mistwind... 👀
i fear that ren is mewing. you drew them mewing. they mewed.
It didn’t take too long for me to create my D&D OC, but drawing her actual armor took AGES.
stealing that eye technique. thanks o/
a hoggoblin, wildmagic barbarian with a criminal backround… sounds familliar doesn‘t it?
Yes I want more
I love D&D❤
wanted these brushs so badd
Ren Ta'ar is your local anik-anik Hobgoblin
Definitely arch fay
"...I'm Filipino" ok yup subscribed
