Vampires who used to be blood dolls are everything to me. You were a part of this world before you were truly allowed into it. Maybe you didn't know exactly what was going on? Or maybe you did, but it just felt too good to stop?
You always hear how addictive the Kiss can be, but what if it was different in your case? What if you were THEIR addiction? So sweet, so wanted and sought after?
And then there's so many ways you can take the Embrace. Were you told this is what they wanted and given a choice? Was there an accident, your other half getting lost in the bliss and killing you without meaning to, making them Embrace you out of remorse?
Or did you not even know you were someone's little treat, because they made sure you could not remember it afterwards? But they still kept coming back, and you were always happy when they did?
this is probably the cutest she has ever looked.. i havent finished her face, thats usually the very last thing i work ^_^ i messed around with the shaders a bit
also if anyone is interested, this is how i get the pixelated look in a compositor:
I still haven't figured out what set to add these highlighters to, so I decided to give them as a little freebie. I love them, and it would be a shame not to post them. Although I still hope to develop them into full-fledged highlighters for the entire face π
everything is HQ compatible, previews were done with HQ mod
I love VTM but I think my least favorite thing about the way they do the embrace is that the banes and all the bad things are supposed to take hold immediately. These are vampires. Theyre immortal. Let it take time, and it will be so much more horrifying.
Let the new Nosferatu scratch their head two nights in and a chunk of hair falls out. They look in the mirror three nights later and realize how much thinner their skin has gotten, and they touch their jaw carefully, and a strip of skin peels away to reveal the jaw underneath.
Let the new Malkavian be so so so paranoid because they KNOW whats coming, but by a month in, nothing seems to have happened. And theyre so worried, but theyre hoping against the universe that please, maybe they'll be the exception. Maybe they wont fall to the voices. And then they get home and talk to their friend about their worries, and after a little while, they feel relieved. The friend helps, so they keep talking to them. A few months go by and they are happy that they were worried over nothing, and they never even realize theyve been talking to the walls this whole time.
Let the new Ventrue have to figure out their blood limitation themselves. Their first few nights or weeks, they can drink whatever, but slowly the curse sets in. They drink some blood and immediately puke it up. They drink another type and break out in hives. Another sends them into torpor. But they HAVE to keep going. They have to find what they CAN drink, because until they do, they'll feel nothing but hunger and pain and rage and suffering. And the longer it takes to find it, the worse the wrong ones will be
Let the banes take time to take hold! I think thats significantly more interesting than everything just happening all at once all in one night, especially since these are immortal beings we're talking about. The horror of the vampire is supposed to be that all of the suffering is eternal. Let this take some time too.
