Happy Calibration @toxinfox !!!!

Nyria is such a fun and cute character. She feels like the type of gal who can rock a pair of overalls so I drew her in those while still retaining her color palette.

The duck was non-negotiable of course but I would’ve drawn that little fellow regardless 🦆

It’s been wonderful seeing everybody’s lovely art for the Exalted Secret Santa this year, I’m so happy I could participate!

I love Scion, and i love Trinity Continuum, and i love Chronicles of Darkness, and i love They came from..., and i love Exalted I fucking love Onyx Path, even if i am never capable of finding games. I shall write infinite homebrew.

My Exalted campaign players are dealing with many opposing characters and factions in their latest story arc. They are all of course nefarious women of varying duplicity, because this is my game and I can do what I want:

Cynis Myrto: A wizard rival who the party thought died a few arcs back. She’s got better somehow! And has turned a new leaf and busses tables at a bar now.

Sesshi Broken-Hand & the Rodimus League: A group of exigent bounty hunters with divine prosthetics, they’re snooping around in the party’s business to fulfill their bounty contracts.

Blood-Dimmed Deep & the Luthan Remnants: Beastfolk soldiers from the sunken city of Luthe, they’re searching for the heir to the throne of their departed king, the mighty Leviathan.

Lintha Muul Morrissey & Her Crew: A pirate captain from an infamous crime family of demon mutant fishmen. Her crew and the party have met in the past, and she’s very interested in their potential usefulness for her “surgical experiments”.

Golden Carp Surmounts the Dragon’s Gate: crime kingpin of Skullstone.

A Day-caste Abyssal and antagonist in my Exalted campaign.

Sarita if she were some kind of sexy bug Lunar. Two of her spider-limbs here are severed to represent her bad leg.

Sketches of the party (and two npc friends) in our new Exalted game. They’re a team of Sidereal exalts and they’re all totally normal and well-adjusted varieties of lesbians. The team (which all use She/her pronouns) includes:

Katram Lari (Journeys Caste) PC

Dutiful Crane (Serenities Caste) NPC

Prahma, Daughter of Ahlat (Battles Caste) PC

Sarita Ghoshal (Secrets Caste) my PC

Killing-in-Mercy-Cantata {“Killian”} (Endings Caste) NPC

They’re such disfunctional freaks.

A collection of various Sarita doodles from over the past few months:

These two are some of her Resplendent Destinies that she puts on to blend in on the job. The left one is a powerful business mogul under the starsign of The Captain, and the right one is a ferry driver that belongs to the city’s cult of boaters, this one’s sign is The Haywain.

Sarita in her pajamas, along with a knife that never strays far from under her pillow. I’m sure she has a Normal reason for that behavior. The right doodle is Sarita back in her 20’s, when she didn’t have to fake a smile. Again, a very Normal and well-adjusted woman.

And finally some little bits of her in the ol’ celestial office with her coworker Killian. They’ve got a really fun rapport.

I’m sure there’s no unspoken feelings between these two consummate professionals.

EXALTED SECRET SANTA 2024

Back at it again! For more reference pictures take a look at my character’s tags on my blog.

Entry 1: Sarita Ghoshal

Secrets-Caste Sidereal Exalt

Pronouns: She/her

Age: 42 (has been exalted for 2 years)

Ht: 5’7”

Description: A wily huckster from the streets of Champoor, the city of night. Sarita has very easily transitioned into her life with the Celestial Bureaucracy, it’s all just another big scam to her—and she’s great at selling scams. A schemer, a liar, and a relentless control freak, she’s always crafting elaborate plans for her party to enact. Deep down though she has a big heart, even if it’s hidden behind a million layers of lies and the fakest smile this side of the Blessed Isle. Her soft side is the most apparent whenever she interacts with her “henchmen”: a brass legionnaire bodyguard and a pattern spider secretary that are like daughters to her (though she’ll never admit it).

Anima: Sidereal animas are pretty subtle things, doubly so for someone as secretive as Sarita. When it manifests visibly, it appears as if she’s twisting and weaving near-invisible strands of fate, like a spider at the center of her web.

Anatomy Notes: Sarita is on the plumper side, so please don’t draw her skinny. She also has a significant limp in her right leg, and walks with the aid of her Starmetal cane, so keep that in mind if drawing a full-body. She wears green-tinted glasses, though I’ve provided a ref of what she looks like without them (her eye color is green and she wears heavy purple eye shadow). She usually has a very wide and kinda fake-looking smile on, very skeezy car-saleswoman vibes.

Motifs: Green and purple; disguises; loud colors and obnoxious patterns; 80’s office worker couture; masks; webs or string; puzzles; rubik’s cubes (but fantasy)

Entry 2: Tendaji Greenwich

Twilight Caste Solar Exalt (Bureaucracy Supernal)

Pronouns: She/Her, Xe/Xyr, or They/Them

Age: 23 (been an exalt for a year and a half)

Ht: 5'8"

Other References: see the links in last years Journal.

Description: My first ever exalted player character! Her game wrapped up a year ago, but she always. She went from being a nervous and timid little nerd to a confident and self-actualized little nerd. I couldn't be prouder of her. The outfit and hairdo in the first two photos are her current appearance, and you can use the general color scheme in the third drawing.

Anima: Instead of appearing on xer forehead, Tendaji's castemark is actually situated on xer left eye, which turned teal upon xer exaltation. They manifest the Sun's command over the cycles of night and day, which essentially means they have time-powers. Tennie doesn't just build things, they push forward the hands of time to a project's completion. They don't just move quickly, they skip through time in a series of glitchy leaps and teal after-images. The nature of their exaltation is a bit overwhelming, and the more they use their powers, the less control they seem to have over what they're doing, slipping into a trance-like state and babbling in First Age tongues.

Anatomy Notes: Tendaji lost xyr right arm in a battle against an Abyssal, and eventually got it replaced thanks to the help of a necrosurgeon and xyr Liminal boyfriend (who donated its arm for grafting). The references in the artwork above depict how it should look, however now the vitiligo patterns have now begun to spread to further parts of Tendaji's body. Another note that hasn't been included in the color refs is that a few of her locks have become stark white due to some mental trauma involving ghostly possession.

Motifs: Teal & Yellow; clocks, watches; hourglasses, sundials and other assorted time imagery; architecture and city layouts; sunflowers & honeybees; paperwork, pens, sketches, and blueprints; when they're having a bad time: glitchiness and intense shadows.
