Oh lordy, I haven’t posted here in a while D: So sorry! I’ve been distracted by some big life changes and haven’t kept up much with my tumblr or with my own arts in general :P Most of my art time is spent on commissioner art (which I very much enjoy), and what’s left has been split between doodling and working on a project that will feature more on my naughty blog (it’s a project featuring silicone).
But I do have SOME art to show. We recently switched from Mage: The Ascension over to some Vampire: The Dark Ages for our weekly RPG night, so that means NEW CHARACTERS! This is just a small sample with hopefully more to come soon. I’ll put the descriptions under a cut to save space.
Top left is my character Gavril. They’re a Tzimisce living in the general Transylvania area. In the drawing they’re presenting masculine, but they’re technically agender. Actually, genderfluid may be a better word for them. Their physical presentation shifts between masculine and feminine, but their gender is generally neutral. Being a body crafter, this allows for many arrangements of their self. This is just a starting point. I’m excited to explore other body situations for them :D They serve their sire as an envoy (she’s a powerful Tzimisce noble) and are currently traveling to nearby princedoms to meet the rulers and establish good relations.
Top right is my husband’s character Iskar. He’s a Salubri fighter from Viking territory who has spent a lot of time as a mercenary in the Byzantine empire. He and his cadre of mercenary troops are currently working for Gavril’s sire. They are traveling with them to keep them safe. He’s surly, but a damn good fighter.
Bottom pics are of my character’s sire, Adrianna. She’s a powerful Tzimisce noble who has taken good care to train her childe in the ways of diplomacy. We haven’t interacted much yet, but I like her so far. Left is her resting state, right is her ANGRY FACE!
Okay, that’s it for now. I should have more vampires along eventually. Fun times!
So last Friday I doodled up this fishy monster during game night. Everyone’s been posting lovely drawings of the Zora prince from the new Zelda and it made me wanna draw a fishy beast. So here’s some highlighter and pen doodles! That lower right one has a withered left hand, poor thing. This was a fun little design that I intend to use for a different project eventually...
Ooooooh dang! Looks like my main gaming group is about to shift from Mage: The Ascension to...Vampire: Dark Ages!! AW YEAH! We’ve got a few Mage games left before the switch, so I’m spending some time working up a character. Worry not, this doesn’t mean the Mage game is over forever. We’ll rotate back to it before too long. We tend to switch between 2 storytellers to give both guys some time to play.
Anyways, we’re working on making up new characters, so I did some doodling today. I thiiiink I’m gonna stick with this for my character’s design for now. Gavril is a young Tzimise just starting on their road to greatness. They’re currently masculine presenting, but are truly gender neutral. Though they might end up more genderfluid? We’ll see. I know they’re not overly freakish looking in the Tzimisce manner, but they’re just getting started. I wanted to start fairly tame and let them grow as the game progresses. Their design is a call back to an ooooold vampire NPC that showed up in some Mage games I ran many many years ago. Hopefully I’ll be able to get this character going somewhere fun :)
The Tzimisce are my fave clan and I’m super excited to finally get a chance to play one! I know a lot of Vampire lore, but I’ve never actually ended up playing. I tried running a Dark Ages game for my husband years ago, but I never did more than a couple of sessions that were...not super great. So I’m SO EXCITED to finally get to play some Vampire!! And I happen to think the Dark Ages setting is the most appealing for Vampire.
So yeah, I guess there will be more vampire doodles soon. Cuz I’m gonna have a LOT of new bloodsuckers to illustrate in short order ;D
Today is me and my husband @dyslexicoedr‘s 9th wedding anniversary. We were married on February 2nd, 2008, but we’ve been together as a couple for much longer. Since we met in high school back in 2001 (February 5th), actually. We’ve been together the whole time and he’s still my absolute favorite person in this whole wide world. This is a little doodle of our original RPG couple from the very first game we ever played together (Mage: The Ascension, of course). I haven’t drawn these two in a long time and it was a nice little exercise to do today :) For our anniversary he took a couple days off work, so we’re gonna spend time avoiding the internet, eating awesome food, and just enjoying each other’s company.

She sounds like an amazing teacher. :)

This gives me life. And it makes me want to kiss Miss Sellers.
She was the solid best!

Such a good story! I had an equally obsessive love of prehistoric critters in my youth! Have you been to the Texas Memorial Museum here in town to see all the dinosaurs? If not, i'd be happy to go with you sometime! It's on the UT campus and it's GREAT (if a bit small)!
Would you believe that in the almost 7 years I’ve lived here I have been to zero museums, save for going to the Bullock for its IMAX? We should go!
Shit’s real bad out there, guys. My nerves can barely handle all this shitty news going around. In an attempt to distract myself from real life I did some doodling.
This is more art for my little Trans-Dimensional Sorceress project thing. Lydia (demon sorceress), her apprentice Derrick (confused human), and her familiar Tyv (shapeshifting chimera) are stocking items in her shop. Derrick was not expecting the contents of his vials to be so...gross. This project skews NSFW, so you can just sort of assume there’s something strange in that vial. I’m trying to do more with this little project because it’s fun and I enjoy it :3
I was way too lazy to draw the background, so I borrowed a photo from here: http://www.theapothecarycardiff.com/
I slapped a little color on a doodle from this weekend. Lydia is a demon sorceress from a little side project I work on from time to time. It’s an adult art project, so it shows up on my dirty tumblr, not here. That little project is sort of an AU for some of my Mage characters.
