Our D&D campaign is on its last couple sessions, and after some discussion, or DM told us to maybe start thinking about new characters for the next one. It’s tough, because I’ve been playing Alexus for a long time now, and while the interlude with Zmija was wildly successful and I’m very fond of my time with her, she would not be an appropriate character to pick back up. Also, our group composition will be changing, which will give me a chance to be less “jack of all trades”-y cos the other three will maybe be picking up some of that slack.

Anyway our barbarian is going to be playing a ranged rogue, and our warlock is probably playing another caster, which means that between Kattii and I, one of us will be playing a healer, and one of us will be doing our best to tank. She and I have both not really decided on which of us will be filling which role, though, so I’ve been developing two characters simultaneously, in the hopes of either one of us discovering a preference, haha.

Solaris Amahelan is a fire genasi artificer who believes that all things have spirit(s) that can be shaped and molded to be better, and also that you have to keep your things happy or they’ll abandon you when you need them most. She’s peppy, direct, pretty short (5′2-3″ish, a relic of an earlier iteration where she was a gnome, based on one of my WoW alts), and her hair is super light and has a bit of a wave to it so even though it isn’t on fire, it’s always moving in the slightest breeze and very much looks like it could be. Her last name is supposed to sound elvish but in theory it means “sunflower” because there’s a certain other character I only just realized as I was trying to come up with a last name for this post that she draws a lot of inspiration from (though now that I’ve got words for “sun” in both names I’m wondering if I should swap from Solaris to Ember for her first name. Hmmm. We’ll see, I dunno. I’m not super attached to Amahelan yet anyway, maybe something better will come up).

Ceridwyn Rieve, by contrast, is a (scourge) aasimar who at one point when she was younger was sold to a false cult of Ilmater and became very jaded by her time with them and essentially broke ties with her celestial guide or whatever (or at any rate, she ignores the heck out of them). She still had a penchant for healing so she went into military/mercenary work as a medic, and when that gig ended, became a bit of a wandering physician before joining the party. She’s got a big front of “I’m doing this only because it benefits me” that’s mostly designed out of spite (I was told that my party couldn’t see me playing a character that wasn’t nice or happy, lmao). Rieve is the name of a physician in one of the audiobooks I listen to pretty frequently (though I’m probably spelling it incorrectly). She’s also like, somewhere between 6′4″ and 6′6″ which is pretty tall for a lady human but my brain was like “yes. Ceri big. Big Ceri, big good.” lmao

Anyway that was a lot of typing and all to say that one of these characters will eventually go on the trash heap!* but since I had some downtime between the end of bash art stuff and the beginning of money art stuff, I figured I’d get ahead on things and do their character portraits and roll20 tabletop tokens, in case doing so helped me figure out which I wanted to play more (it didn’t, by the way.)

(* and by “trash heap” I mean “kept in reserve and/or just not played” but y’know.)

@paon-de-jour's Arthis and Ceridwyn can finally enjoy a moment of peace and calm (after all she put them through !!)

Small lights are so fun to draw ! (not) At least I had faceclaims this time, but have you tried drawing Mads Mikkelsen ??

But at least they are cute ♥♥

[image ID : Ceridwyn and Arthis are sitting cross-legged on a bed with red blankets. Ceridwyn, a tall white man dressed in white, is ready a large leather bound book, lit by a high metal lantern. Arthis, a smaller man dressed in black, with long brown hair tied back and brown eyes, is braiding Ceri's long white hair. There's a tray with a silver teapot and two cups on it. The bed is large, made of carved wood with ivy around the canopy, red curtains, and a winged hourglass carved on the headboard. The lantern is the only source of light. Both men are smiling. end ID]
