“In the tower above the earth, there is a view that reaches far, where we see the universe, I see the fire, I see the end.”

—The Seers Tower, Sufjan Stevens

Restarted our Auld Reekie VtM Campaign after a three year torpor, which means bringing Hollis the Malkavian detective (my first ever VtM OC) back to (un)life. Revisiting their design with the iconic Disco Elysium art style felt appropriate, as this “Omen of Doom” clocks back in for business.

Painted on Procreate with the Scallop Oil Brush, no AI — any oddities or inconsistencies are entirely of my own making.

An astral map I designed for a west marches style DnD (2e) campaign I’m in, set in The Ultraviolet Grasslands, encircled by The Feathered Serpent. Constellations based off @perseiis cleric’s beautiful descriptions of The Fast Stars.

🎨 Made using Procreate.

A couple of wee goblins that I dug out of an old sketchbook for the spooky season. They came about from playing around with the idea of ghouls as eaters of carrion.

⚔️ Pencilling by Suddenly Shouting, and digital inking by me -Kill Six Billion Demons was a major source of inspiration for us both in our approach to designing this!

A selection of Nosferatu from various VtM campaigns.

[suddenlyshouting]

Continuing the collaboration with @versatilemess meet Alex’s character: Desdemona (Dizzy) Springflower | Circle of Shepherd Druid, Battlemaster Fighter and Warlock of the Raven Queen | She/Her

Desdemona Springflower is the chosen of the Raven Queen, and last of her family after her sister Madeline’s siding with, and death by the hands of, Kalrel.

Her duty to the Raven Queen, and her training as an old ways mage, mean she is focused on finally ridding the world of The Ghost Lord — an ancient lich of much power — as well as continuing to develop her understanding of the old ways so as to use them in the fight against the God of Creation and Destruction.

The Coterie from the Roman Republic VtDA game, currently set during the Second Punic War.

Lepidus - A wandering Salubri and former Legionary, returned to his home city. He's just met his beast and the form it took was the eternal hunger of Empire wearing his own face, and it's troubling him. Played by @versatilemess.

Cydimus of Eryx - The Caitiff consort of Lady Nausicaä. He's doing great actually. Played by @perseiis.

Thinking about Dune again, so here's a couple of Guild Navigators.

[suddenlyshouting]

Our Constantinople VTDA coterie and their former Domitor Vanya. From left to right:

Ophelia, a former prostitute, accomplished business woman and court favourite from the Byzantine Empire (Toreador). Born in Thessaloniki sometime in the mid 9th century, embraced in Constantinople 917. Played and created by @versatilemess.

Zselyke, a Táltos of the pre-migration Hungarian Tribes (Tzimisce). Born sometime in the early 9th century, embraced in Constantinople 917. Played by me @suddenlyshouting.

[suddenlyshouting]

Another of my wife @perseiis's Vampire the Dark Ages characters: Cydimus of Eryx.

An unclaimed caitiff, Cydimus is a former mural painter, current prostitute, a one time thief, the present consort of the Lady Nausicaä of Sicily, and above all; an avid devotee of Venus Astarte. He is perhaps the most popular little man in all the Roman Republic.

[suddenlyshouting]

A Kikimora and Domovoi: two little Slavic deities of the hearth. The Kikimora is often troublesome (especially if the house is not kept in order). The Domovoi is protective of the family and household, especially the children and animals, unless angered or insulted. They are often said to be married to one another.

[suddenlyshouting]

Continuing the collab with @versatilemess for our DnD Campaign’s 5th birthday:

My wife @perseiis’ character Amaranth Nerath | College of Swords Bard & Divination Wizard | She/Her

Amaranth Nerath is a Bard of skill to rival her father (Hywel), and Arcanist to rival her mother (The Wizard Treona). She has been near fatally blessed by a lost and forgotten God of Storms, and has resurrected an ancient forbidden school of magic; Vicissitude.

Her current plans are to kill her former tutor (the Hag Larysa), to acquire the fabled Harp of the White Duke, and to accrue the power and arcana necessary to kill the God of Creation and Destruction.

As always, pencilling by me and inking by @versatilemess!

Image one: A young woman is drawn face on, holding her eyes confidently on the viewer. Her skin is light brown, with a lightening scar cresting across her right shoulder and up along her face. Her bright blue eyes are framed by long lashes, and eyeliner, with little dots of silver makeup at various points across her face. She has dark brunette hair which curls around it like a cloud, dotted with pearls. She is wearing a cloak, with loose blouse and a sash belt in various shades of rich purple. The cloak is covered in stars, and various necklaces rest against the low cut blouse. Framing the piece as a whole is a very wide brimmed wizard's hat, in bluish purples, with a small tassel hanging in front.
