(A cosy-chaotic art warren run by one very determined kobold… and an even more determined illustrator.)
Who’s behind the ink?
Hello! I’m Sofia. A tea-fuelled illustrator, lifetime dice-roller and chief trouble-maker at The Kobold Guild. Picture a burrow stacked with parchment towers, dragon-shaped paperweights and ink splatters that almost certainly have hit-point values. That’s my studio, and from this slightly unhinged haven I hand-draw heroes, villains, frog armies and battle-maps for tabletop adventurers across the realms.
How the Guild hatched
- Long-time GM: I’ve been wrangling TTRPGs since pre-Covid, usually as the forever-GM with too many plot twists and not enough sleep.
- Born with a pencil: I was doodling dragons before I could tie my shoelaces. Knights, wyverns, kobolds, fantasy has always been my natural habitat.
- Shop opened Feb 2025: I saw the TTRPG feed filling with copy-paste AI artwork. Nothing wrong with speedy tools, but kobolds deserve shinier, unique hoards. So I grabbed my sketchbook, rolled for initiative, and launched a one-kobold studio where every scale, feather and quill-stroke is drawn by hand.
No algorithms. Just pencils, pixels and a lifelong love of storytelling.
What I make
- Character Portraits - for solo heroes, villains, familiar-wranglers ready to bring those stat blocks to life (and roast it on socials).
- Party Illustrations - For whole tables, podcast casts looking to immortalise inside jokes in full, glorious colour.
- Chibi Token Bundles - For flayers & GMs who crave cute die-cut silhouettes that actually look like they’re walking on the VTT grid.
- Maps, Monsters & Emotes - For t ime-poor GMs who want drop-and-play art for tonight’s session.
Whether you’re booking a bespoke commission or downloading a dragon pack at 3 a.m., the goal is the same: make your stories feel alive.
