[26 | they/them] Welcome to my blog! I go by Sygdom. This is my art blog. I do a lot of TTRPG / Dungeons and Dragons related art, featuring plenty of drow, dark elves and tieflings. I also have a general interest in fantasy and cyberpunk. My ask and DMs are open, so feel free to ask me anything you'd like to know! {My twitter handle is also @leidensygdom, and my instagram one is @sygdom} https://linktr.ee/sygdom

Here's something a bit different for today- In the form of a Sea Slug dragon! Animated token and all (And also a leafy seadragon... dragon. Leafy seadragon^2, perhaps?)

I've been having a dragon itch of late so these were really fun to do! The animation is made by @/mr.vaank (on Instagram), and these were made for The Dungeon Archive's Underwater Battleground battlemap, which you can actually fetch for free in here!

Hello ! I'm calling it a close for the Potluck Secret Satan 2026. We had 240 participants this round (making it the biggest event so far), who turned in over 300 pictures, not counting the Quests, which are also available in the sheet! Because some people did draw for every single person in it! . We did also have like 14 or 15 surrogates, which is also a record, but it was bound to happen with a bigger event!

Here's the fully filled sheet: Click

We will be pausing main Secret Satan events up until after Artfight, but we're running a mini-event before AF starts: the Design Me A Blorbo (DMAB!) It's an event for designing characters for others based on moodboards and vague prompts. Open from now until 28 of June, with it included! This one is being held in the server, so if you'd like a link, please DM me! (Not posting it publicly to avoid bots)

I must thank everyone for their participation in this event. It has been quite the change- We had new mods for it (huge thanks to @meadow-cryptid , @dragonbackvoyager , @axes-archive as new mods, and of course @eaglewind13 and Lambeth, who isn't here). I also must thank people for the Sygrrogates, it means so much to me! Maybe I'm a tad more emotional since this is the 20th edition of the event, but I'm really happy with how the server and the events are going, and I must thank y'all for making this space as nice as it is.

And here's the usual shameless tip jar mention (click here) , which has a one tip donation and all. And a merch shop if you'd rather get a sticker!

Thank you all so much for participating once again, and see you in the next one!

I got in a very sudden and unexpected rampage to have something to share today- And that's Vyxander (my tiefling/drow) wearing, uh, one of my irl fits! As part of a weekly challenge in the Secret Satan discord~ (I did simplify the patterns on that poncho though!). Not sure how to feel about the fact this edgelord shares fashion sense with me-

Surrogate piece for @lightningandflames , featuring sir character, a fetchling Cavalier!! They have a love for glassworking so I thought a glassy flower would be a fun thing to give her~~ (Working on wrapping up the surries for the Potluck secret satan!)

Hello-hello! The Potluck Secret Satan 2026 is finally here: fourth potluck edition, and twentieth overall. This is the anything-goes edition: Any sort of TTRPG or RP character works, instead of being thematically limited to a specific ancestry or race!

The Secret Satan is an art trading event that follows the Secret Santa model, focused on TTRPG characters. It is focused on visual art. Most people do illustrations (either digital or traditional), but we do also allow 3D and other mediums.

You can enter the event by filling up this form. You can find all the rules in it too. The inscriptions are open from today, 21 of April, up until 28 of April, with it included. We will send mails on the 30 of April. You will need to submit your piece on the 29 of May.

Reach of late has been a bit of a nightmare, so reblogs are much appreciated, there's always folk who find out about the event the day after it closes!

I think they were meant to do normal mad scientist activities such as plotting their next death ray or concocting a mysterious green glowing goo, but it is probably drawing round birds instead-

This one was a warm up that got out of hand, and I did something a bit experimental with the colors! I really wanted to let Karrah be a bit more casual in this one~ I hope y'all enjoy the experimenting here!!

Hello! I'm very excited to show the new token pack I cooked- The familiar token pack! This one comes with 14 unique tokens and a total of 99 color variants for them! Which makes it the biggest token pack released by far~ You can get it for 4€ on my Shop, or through becoming a Patron for just 3€, which also will give you access to all the previous packs I've released!

There's also a freebie for folk in here with the little dragon token~

Anyways, go give it a look, this pack took kind of a ridiculous amount of work to get ready and I'm quite proud of the result!

"Go in there" "In the flesh pit?" "Go in the flesh pit"

Heeello! I have another battlemap that I worked on for The Dungeon Archive, featuring the Flesh Gorge! I put a lot of love rendering all these teeth just so you can have an unwise adventure in some meaty depths!

You can nab the map for free in the Patreon, and we have a gridless version/variants for members too~

Here's another battlemap (and animated token) that I worked on for The Dungeon Archive. I made the base art for that nice crystal bug there, and the most of the assets for the caves (and overpainted the crystal flowers there too). @/mr.vaank on instagram was in charge of the animation and put together the map proper~

You can get the map itself for free in here, and we offer gridless versions to patrons. Go give it a look!!

What's this? A finished Siegmund reference? More likely than you think! I had this one flatcolored since 2022, but I just finally got around and rendered it (after changing some things around. It feels a bit strange, but- I may be playing this nerd at long last! (He's a tiefling/earth genasi artificer/wizard in dnd5e, but i gotta make him now in pathfinder/starfinder2e, and I may switch him to Talos/Nephilim Technomancer? Perhaps? >:3c). I had so much fun with the titanium quartz spikes. And the orb familiars, of course

We're done with the Planetouched Secret Satan 2025! We had 200 people this time, and almost 250 turned in pictures, so it was quite sizeable!

Here's the fully filled sheet: Click

We have not yet decided when will we run the next event. Maybe we'll try to make use of the holidays to host the Potluck Secret Satan 202…5? 2026? If we have time for it, but it all depends on mod energy and timing. After that, we will try to resume the new regular seasonal schedule. Potluck is the "everything-goes" edition, with no theme restriction!

And if you did enjoy the event, consider helping us run it again with a lil tip! As always, @plaguecleric and @eaglewind13 help out running it a lot, so check them out! On my side, I do have a Patreon, where I also have a shop where you can get some TTRPG thingies for four bucks or so, so consider giving it a gander if you wanna help making these events possible!

Thank you all so much for participating once again, and see you in the next one!

I thought I could take the lead from @zephyrbug and show a collection of the pieces I've done for previous Secret Satan events, including some surrogates~ We currently have inscriptions open for the Planetouched Secret Satan, an art trading event that includes tieflings, aasimar, genasi and far more!! Go check the information in here!

Here’s the Planetouched Secret Satan 2025, first of its kind, and nineteenth edition overall! We have been revamping the themes as of late, and we decided to combine the old Tiefling event with the Aasimar and Genasi one into a catch-all event. (We're pretty loose on what counts as a planetouched. A Kalashtar? Go put them in. I love kalashtar-) And this isn't just for DnD ancestries, there's far more included (for the Pathfinder2e folk, here’s now the time to get your weirder characters in! I wanna see Aphorites! Duskwalkers!)

The PTSS2025 is an art trading event that follows the Secret Santa model, focused on TTRPG characters. This edition is all about characters that have extraplanar influence, and it doesn't need to be DnD/Pf2e specific. You've got angels? Demons? Elementals? You're all set! The event is focused on visual art (mainly 2D, but 3D is also allowed!).

You can enter the event by filling up this form. You can find all the rules in it too. The inscriptions are open from today, 17 of October, up until 24 of October, with it included. We will send mails on the 25 of October. You will need to submit your piece on the 21 of November!

And with that said, go come on in to the event!! We're hoping it's gonna be really fun for folk! Go reblog this post so we can reach people!!

Hey hello! I wanted to show something very different today! I started to work as the artist for The Dungeon Archive, where I have been doing battlemaps and enemy tokens. This one was from a couple of months ago, where we did a basalt themed dungeon with few demonic/fire elemental things in it. These were a lot of fun to do >:3 The map was made for an One Page dungeon challenge, which you can check on the second picture

You can check the full information on this map in The Dungeon Archive's patreon! You can get the gridless version of the map there, alongside the transparent tokens to throw into your VTT of choice~
