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 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.

It's actually pretty close to Hebrew with sharper lines and a bunch of added dots and flourishes
