If you want to read the whole thing in one go, it’s easiest on my site.
(These are “newest first”, so start at the end and work backwards.)

Throughout October, I’ll be drawing a piece of Konsi art every day as a Drawtober challenge. Here’s the prompts I’ll be using.

You can find the art on Mastodon, Tumblr, Bsky, or Twitter. First two are best.


Over the years, DnD sources have offered many different scripts for the celestial alphabet. I’m using a pretty old one here, largely because I like how it looks.

The glyphs translate to “ZETEMA” - which will be of no use to anyone trying to figure out what spell she just cast.

      I copied Konsi’s first two poses from professional baseball photographs. I love how exaggerated baseball throws are.

      OK that’s really funny, I didn’t understand why it resembles Hebrew and this is very very close (letter names are even the same).

      Ignoring the table and reading it in Yiddish (which uses the same letters as in Hebrew with different pronunciation) this read closely to “oh my god“ (“omeged” but close enough)

      Edit: reading right to left, of course.

      Zetema?

      Edit: I realize that E, I and O are the same, so it could be zitoma or something

      Edit 2: Yo I got it right!

      I thought it looked a lot like Hebrew. You did write it backwards though. And it’s out of order in this picture too, ז is the 7th letter in the Hebrew alphabet but here it’s listed as the last

        I believe this “celestial alphabet” was based loosely on hebrew yes. They’ve more recently replaced it with their own glyphs, but also not officially published them all so… (shrug) - I just liked the shapes.
