Can I offer you some nice goo in this trying time?

Aaaaand we finally revealed that not only am I playing a character in our Oops! All Simic campaign, but they are the villain 💙💚

Meet Dr Zvedavy, former master vedalken biomancer and high-level transmutation wizard, who turned themself into an ooze to escape arrest for the charges of unethical human experimentation and obstruction of justice 2 years ago. 3 weeks ago, they formed a warlock pact with a water genasi named Loch: let me live in your body, and I’ll provide you with magical power. What happened in those intervening 2 years? Well. That’s still part of the mystery.

This horrible fish wizard bewitched me so I have lots of doodles and sketches I’ll be posting over the course of the week. 💙💚

Ok. I don’t actually have any excuses for stupid sexy Zvedavy aside from “oh that dress with the open sides would work with their manta ray arms”. Sorry.

Bonus stupid sexy Zvedavy below the cut 😅

An earlier, slightly less polished drawing of Dr Zvedavy. The cape embroidery went through some iterations after this, haha.

I originally drew them holding a pen for taking notes, but after running the scene where Subject Z introduces themself to their new host, scalpels became more relevant 😊

So mad that I somehow perfectly recreated the “no bitches” meme image and I super did not mean to 😆

One of the things I had fun with was trying to figure out what kind of clothes someone with manta ray arms can even wear. I finally settled on 5 articles of clothing:

- simple pants

- close-toed work boots

- a sheet-like robe, not connected at the sides for freedom of arm and tentacle movement; it has a button closure over both shoulders

- an apron, tied around the waist, to cinch closed the under layer

- an ornate cloak, fastened in front and with attachment points at the wrists

For lab safety purposes, Dr Zvedavy would of course wear all layers while working. 😌 these were just for me.

“Would you like to be my assistant*?”

* research partner and test subject, offer subject to terms and conditions, body guaranteed to be Perfected by the end of your term (complete and accurate memories not included. Original body also not included)

Dr Zvedavy liked to select from the dregs of society for their work. Those with less to lose had more to gain, and some of them had very interesting and diverse gene pools that took the research in fascinating new directions. What a shame the Boros integrity division caught a whiff of it, setting back Progress by decades 😔
