REPEAT, RELAPSE.
Those unexpected moments when your characters trauma comes up when he’s not anticipating it and ends up lashing out in anger to hide the fear and panic. Anyway I decided to take my time with some practice to draw the details of his expression as he works through that panic.
It’s a fun experiment in rendering since I don’t do it a lot but lord do I remember why that is, it’s a test of patience...
TIME MARCHES EVER ONWARD
Dagul right now side by side with the versions of him through the game until our current look for him! Man he has come a LONG WAY... and he sure looks different too. It’s really jarring to look back on where he started.
PRINCE OF THE PACT
Dagul got a bit of a power upgrade in the game. Namely that he’s been named as the prince of the second layer of hell, and holds dominion over a piece of the pact primeval, letting him break or force contracts. This gives him the ability to summon the ruby rod of Asmodeus, and has officially marked him fully as a fiend.
I’m super hype about it, Dagul is trying to live up to the power he’s been given. Oh and, on top of all of that, his actual height is officially 13ft and his wings are permanent unless unsummoned. It’s fucking awesome, I’m so excited
DREAMING
Based loosely on a dream Dagul had and the events going on in game as of late. There’s a lot happening and OH BOY is it ever... painful. Poor Dagul’s heart is going through the wringer right now but he’s also full of conviction. So we’ll see where this leads us... Hopefully it’s to a happy ending, but I’m not crossing my fingers. Tragedy seems to follow Dagul wherever he goes.
I spent way too long working on this and I apologise for how long this is but uhhh oops? Too late for take backs now!
Everything went to hell in a hand basket in our DND campaign last session and we’re all still processing everything but I figured now would be a good time to post this soft art I did a little while back of Dagul and his pregnant wife.
They’re expecting twins and it’s one of the big things keeping Dagul hopeful for the future right now. Gotta remind him what he’s fighting for out there.
UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCE.
DND session ended pretty heavy. We thought we had killed the big bad of this fight, I put my axe through his head and he stopped moving, so we were quickly trying to stabilise NPC’s and heal wounds. I’m usually the last to get healed up as the zealot barb of the party. Which was fine, but I turned my back on the big bad and uh... he wasn’t fully dead yet. Turns out we needed to burn his body.
Well he wasn’t very happy with me. And I was at less then a quarter of my health. He absolutely demolished me, as my DM put it:
“He gets you in the back with a slash of his scythe before that blade comes through your body and out the front, and he wrenches that thing upwards, cutting you straight up through the heart”
So uh... hm. Yeah that was fun. Through some VERY VERY LUCKY rolls on my part and both of our teams medical experts they managed to BARELY save my life. But we had to end the session there because my DM very realistically told me that “the medical repercussions of having your heart cut in half and the extent of damage Dagul took in this fight is something I’m going to have to think about because it’s going to be pretty severe”
SO THAT’S EXTRA FUN. We’ll have to see what that means next week... But I decided to make it a little more dramatic by adding something that he said to his wife before leaving to go to this fight at the bottom for that extra painful flare.
WELCOME TO TALES OF INTRIGUE SEASON 3!!
The Shards of Tomorrow are back with a vacation gone awry and serving some new looks. With new poster and portraits, they’ve got a lot ahead of them. A wedding, a tournament to the death, a court trial and who knows what else.
I can’t wait to see what these idiots get up to now.
A lot of really emotional game changing stuff went down last session and I've been trying to capture Dagul's feelings about it but I can't quite get it right...
But this one looked nice enough for me to clean up a bit and keep so, here you go, a treat.
Trying to sum up and visualise a myriad of really deep running feelings is really tough, I’m on what’s gotta be draft like 12 by now of trying to get this right and nothing’s coming through properly
