BAM! I'm starting a personal goal to create some Curse of Strahd NPC portraits for my future table at January <3 Starting off with Ismark, Ireena, Rahadin and the man himself, Strahd!

As usual, anyone is allowed to use this for their own CoS table with appropriate credits consider buying me a ko-fi <3

Some Curse of Strahd NPC art I've been hoarding!

[aitze]

We wanted our own token for Ireena so I made one :>

[luckyblackcatxiii]

SO IT TOOK FOREVER but the CoS merch pre-orders are finally out! Which means I can share this as well: A thank you for the overwhelming support and orders (as well as all of you who simply stop by for the art, it's been a wonderful year of CoS and then some 💕)

{!!Short angel in two of the pictures is a man and uses He/Him, curly haired vamp in third pic uses She/Her!!} I was briefly in a Curse of Strahd. . . Thing, it wasn't really a campaign, my partner just wanted to see if she could handle running a module and doing text based stuff, it was really more of a test run for a potential polycule campaign than anything else, and when I actually liked Strahd instead of hating him, she was not prepared to progress, since the options were either homebrew a lot of stuff or say 'Bad ending, you go in the basement forever', but I drew all of this while we were playing. The second to last one is the first attempt I made at drawing Strahd and I do not like it, but I'm throwing it in the pile anyway. The curly haired vampire on the purple background is "Doru". You see, my secondary character, Michael, has been a fully-fledged vampire for about a thousand years, so when we found her in her father's basement, instead of killing her, Michael fully turned her so she could have autonomy, and then Michael helped her figure out her gender and she stayed with the party. The other character that isn't Strahd is, of course, Eddie, who took an immediate liking to the count, particularly because Strahd has a very similar demeanor to a plush wolf with ruby eyes that Eddie treasures and that already had a backstory before I knew anything about CoS and so Strahd, wolf boy that he is, decided to start trying to lure Eddie away from the party by invading his dreams wearing a wolf mask and encouraging the association. I have devoured every Ravenloft book that features Strahd since this happened, and I am going sort of crazy now that I am out of them, especially since I was really enjoying where this campaign was going and I seriously doubt I will ever have a chance to play the module again with a DM who is even slightly compassionate towards me or my stance that the blurb at the beginning of the module that serves as a vague-post about Stephanie Myer is cringe and that Mormons in general {Strahd's original creator is a Mormon just like Myer} have bad takes on vampires and that actually it is deeply bigoted that her opinion is that sympathetic vampires are entirely antithetical to the original morals behind vampires {I think it's great when a monster portrayed as representing 'the other', usually the queer or racialized other, is allowed to be portrayed as cool, fun, romantic, sexy, or at the very least, complex and worthy of being empathized with}, and so I shall have to content myself with daydreaming and being filled with melancholy until the special interest passes, just as the mists themselves would have wanted. Oh well. Maybe I'll have the energy to run it eventually and I'll make Strahd the most deliciously problematic trans and bisexual representation ever and then let all of the PCs kiss him, because that's what we all deserve. Good God I love problematic bisexual vampires

Some casual clothes for the crew

Day 18 - Vampire

(Prop list is from @crowholtz )

[calebisdrawing]

A sympathetic take on the village priest’s unfortunate son, Doru. He was transformed into a vampire spawn to punish his father and neighbors for daring to bear arms against the Count.

Here, use my art for your home games for free.

Support me. Thank you!

[silvisays]

idk what other parties do with their Doru, but ours got a bath and also adopted.

i for real have a lot of Doru feelings. he's just ... so sad and little. i wanna tuck him into bed and make him some soup.

[trucbiduleschouettes]

Before the tragedy

I keep wondering what their life was like.

Doru and Donavich, side by side in the temple

—

Doru suggesting ideas for his father’s sermon,

their dinners quiet, calm, filled with the warmth of routine.

And now all that’s left is silence. Well … I think silence will be better it’s only the screaming and crying from inside the house

God, it hurts how my brain rots over these cursed, tragic souls.

[inkycapomen]

Doru

I'm running COS for another group, which means new art! One for when they meet Doru, and one for after he's had a bath and changed into clean clothes.

I changed Doru quite a bit from my last two runs, but that didn't change the PCs decision to spare him. I have never had a group actually fight him.

This party has also decided to bring Doru along with them in hopes of meeting the miracle healer in Krezk. Maybe vampirism can be cured, and Doru's soul saved.
