I have lost track of time and don't even know what month it is, much less what day lmao. Anyway, here's a dumb idea.
Tiefling (or some other race, just has to have horns!) with horns based on bones in the human body. I.e horns modeled after finger bones, etc. Oh, hey! That works really well for a "crown of horns" look. Maybe a bone plate forming off the back of the skull that branches out into radial horns (kinda like a large hand on the back of their head, but, ya know, more horn and less hand). OOOH wait! That works super well for spawn of smexy demon man Graz'zt tieflings, cuz, ya know, his whole calling card is the six-fingered hand, and canon already states that tieflings (or cambions!) with this heritage possess a "crown" of six, small, nub like horns in a semi-circle atop their heads, identical (or as identical as they can get) to his in size and position. With a little tweaking, you could prolly up the creep factor to like a thousand if you made, like, solid bone finger horns. Plus thinking about the evolution and science-y stuff about that is cool, but maybe that's just cuz I'm a huge nerd. Anyway, I'm rambling now lol. It's nearly 11:00 PM and I've only eaten once so my blood sugar is like -1 billion and I'm tired a fumk. I really hope this makes sense to someone else other than me (and to me when I wake up lmao). Anyway, my main point here is demon man sexy hands are creepy (and cool! I mean seriously, like, it's so crazy what the body can do and come up with. Opposable thumbs are wild, man.), and they're creepier (cooler!) in places they're not supposed to be, even if they aren't really hands.
Peace out, LOTM (or LoM. Or ya know, just anything. Names are weird lol)

I like to imagine this Tiefling just with a hand coming out of his crown, but like, palming his crown... and then he scratches his bald head because it"s itchy, but he doesn't need to use his arms. Just scritch scritch scritch.

Oml I love that- I kinda want to steal that idea now-
Can I have your permission to use the forward-facing hand horns thing (I can't English right now lmao) as a quick sketch in my folder of alternative, uh, what's the word, looks? Features? Things. Just like, it's a big collection of "hey what are some other ways vampire teefs might look" or "oh hey fish fin designs". Just stuff I'll probably never use but want to have on hand to reference anyway and chose from when making characters.

Yoo thanks! I'll get on that as soon as I scrounge up 500 bucks for a new drawing tablet :p
My other one kicked the bucket after a surprisingly long life of (mostly) faithful service, despite being constantly beaten, bent, thrown, and used as an improvised weapon on more occasions than I can count. RIP my trusty, if glitchy, companion.

The tiefling now has little rectangular glasses. Something happens and he lifts them up onto his head (like most people), but the hand grabs them and just holds them in place.
Or when he gets miffed, all of the fingers lay down on his head except for one.
Or else he's bored and leaning on one hand with a pencil idoly twirling in his horn fingers.
He sees a friend and the fingers all stiffen except for the middle two, resembling the sign language for "love".
Or they're being sarcasric and say something with jazz hands / spirit fingers, all the more supported by horn fingers.
Y'know, horn fingers can be REALLY expressive. I love your idea!

If anyone gets the wizard + artificer joke I'll... uh... do something. Idk. Tell you you're cool, I guess, cuz you are :p
Harry Dresden! What are you doing IN the game of D&D! You're supposed to be playing... with Butters.
Another quick moment. He's in disguise with a wig covering his horns, and a cape covering his everything else. Then when it's time to reveal, he uses his arm hand to throw off the cape, and his horn hand to throw off the wig.
Haha, you thought I was disguise, but it was really Dio! I mean Atteus!
Updoot: I'm giving Atteus a BFF cuz he needs friends to remind him to sleep lmao.
How does a drow sorcerer sound? Atteus is (jokingly, and only mildly) miffed that they didn't have to study for their magic, and will heckle them about it, though all in good fun. They return in kind by joking about how he always has his nose in a book and referring to him sarcastically as "professor" even though he holds no such title, much to both of their amusement (though Atteus vehemently proclaims he finds such things silly and juvenile to anyone, save his friend, who asks).
I'm condensing everything about Atteus and his friend into this one post to save room lol
Post 1: Right, I got the basics! Atteus Tavon, lv.1 tiefling wizard who tries his best to be all "serious" and "wizardly" but really his spellbook is 90% bored doodles that he doesn't even realize he's drawn until five hours later. Not really an "ooh shiny" kinda guy but he does have an affinity for rings, for obvious reasons. Wants to wear cool wizard robes but he has to leave the hood down or risk getting his spidery horns caught (which is pretty much a universal problem for tieflings lmao) and he's pretty salty about that but otherwise cool. Will 100% hyperfocus on something for like 15 hours straight and forget to eat (who are you accusing of self inserting?! I would never do such a thing! :P) and be all sheepish about it later. He had like one plant ages ago but it died cuz he's crap at taking care of himself, and by extension literally anything else.
Post 2: Disadvantage on perception checks regarding sight unless he has his glasses. He can and WILL b***h about this at any given opportunity. Salty boi.
Post 3: All wizards are depressed dumbasses and you can't convince me otherwise. He's running on, like, 500 cups of coffee and will absolutely cut a b***h if they try to talk to him before he's had at least two. Won't drink alcohol cuz he's 90% sure that if he does his body will finally be like "lmao nope" and just stop working.
Post 4: Also, 100% thinks artificers are cool af but if he tries to get anywhere near anything mechanical he inevitably breaks it somehow because he has the absolute worst luck. "I didn't even touch it and it exploded!"
Post 5 (In response to comment No. #13): Ayyyyyy! You're cool! Also lmao I love that idea- And pfft, I have to expand on the Dio joke by saying he's sometimes so distracted that he forgets his own name. He's a dumba$$ bebby boi and I love him lol
Post 6 (*In response to comment No. #14) (*Technically not referencing Atteus but it's in the same deleted comment so I'm posting it here): Right, well, I'm stealing that horn design too- There are so many freaking cool designs and variants thereof I'm never gonna be able to draw them all lol
Post 7: Updoot: I'm giving Atteus a BFF cuz he needs friends to remind him to sleep lmao. How does a drow sorcerer sound?

Post 8: Another updoot: They both have keys to each other's houses but only the friend (who I really need a name for lmao) (I'm thinking of making them a dude too solely for the inherent homoeroticism of reminding your friend to "put down the book and f**king eat, goddammit! I made you soup, get your a$$ down here and take care of yourself!" because I am h*lla gay and this is the gay agenda lmao. I don't make the rules XD) really uses theirs, both to drop off groceries for Atteus when he's too engrossed in research to remember he actually has to eat something and to subtly mess up his stuff in a way that he won't notice until about a week later with a disappointed sigh, a smile of amusement, and plans for revenge that he never actually carries out because he gets distracted in 0.5 seconds.
Post 9: I wrote some notes too! They aren't beta-ed yet and it's only the first 'lil snippet so it probably sucks, but hey, it's something!
Hailing from Waterdeep, Atteus is a rather curious person, though sweet and playful if one is to gain his trust. Outwardly, he does his best to seem serious, but he holds onto an almost childlike curiosity and can't help but react gleefully when he gets his hands on a new book or spell, only to immediately scurry off for the next several hours to thoroughly study it, inevitably ending up with him passed out at his desk and drooling a puddle onto whatever papers are unfortunate enough to be beneath him when his body's demand for sleep finally crashes over him too forcefully for even his desire to stay up all night and read to hold back. Luckily for him, these documents are more often than not saved from ruin by his closest friend, (PLACEHOLDER), right before said friend tapes a piece of paper to his forehead with some stupid phrase that they know Atteus won't notice until someone else points it out, or he notices it in a mirror. Even if the latter occurs, he's more likely than not to leave it on, though, just to make (PLACEHOLDER) laugh.
Post 10: K I've named his friend Salval Claed and together he and Atteus have one (1) shared brain cell that they pass between each other.

I love it!

Here's a link to
Atteus' character sheet(link broken, removed. See below) so far! It's not done, but it's getting there!Edit: Original link is broken, apparently. I checked the settings and everything looks alright? Maybe this one will work.
