#kult divinity lost

Togarini and Jordà

Process and rambling under the cut (with music!)

I have been playing a new character in Kult, Divinity Lost for a few months and finally I've made a big ass core piece for him. A war photographer, a tattoo artist, a magician of free will. He is a violent crash between the reality of living in 1930 and cracking modernity, working through depictions of death, passing and grotesque imagery. Now, his breath has the smell of a just-started-decaying corpse, sweet and flowery, possessed by compulsion and passion. This artwork is not only reflective of the character's lore, but as well as the original Tarot Togarini card and the classical The Magician classical Tarot card.

Kult: The Disappearing Act

Art by @problemsynth

It all began when my dear friend, Cameron, asked if I'd like play in a 1-1 sandbox Kult game with him. I was interested but sluggish, unsure of what I really wanted in a character and long-term campaign. Then, a contemporary circus performance blew me away. It inspired me so much that I not only watched it a second time, I messaged Cameron, "So I have a vague concept maybe..." Cue us chipping away at a Google doc of bullet points, random notes, him sending me personal questions regarding René, like: "Who or what are you most passionate about? / Have you ever hurt another person? Do you feel bad about that?" and more. We fooled around with the Kult tarot, even getting @vampemoqueen involved in reading the spread that I had drawn. From there, we fleshed out a flawed character that I grew to love, discussed dramatic hooks, and built a world of weirdness and dreams set in modern day Montréal. This is the reason why I enjoy the PbtA system in Kult—player and GM create together and both of you are responsible for giving what you take.

Like what I had seen in the show, we wanted to explore the topic of liminal space, a waiting room, transitions and the passage of time in-between, going, going, gone. We are moved by the psyche, the surreal, and the sublime. What does it mean to be human in a Kult setting? How does creativity affect an artist? Does seeing patterns in the life and objects around us restrict or set us free? Oh, and a sprinkling of body horror and dysmorphia please.

René is a 28-year-old circus artist; a Sleeper who is unaware of his own divinity. The stage is where he has honed his craft, respected for his strength and skill. As a trans man, it is also where he feels the most vulnerable yet seen as how he wants to be seen. Co-founding a circus collective with his friends, they create strange little pieces that captivate and unsettle the audience. Certain sequences trigger entryways into places that should not be there. René is enamoured by the world around him. Sometimes he gets distracted by the patterns and shapes in things he cannot explain. Sometimes it overwhelms him. Will he eventually have the potential to manipulate time and space?

I'm excited to see where this journey takes us. We are on the cusp of creating something truly grotesque and beautiful.

Girlies, should I post art of my Ukrainian OCs from several (mostly Kult-adjacent) TTRPG campaigns? The medieval pagan rodnover sapphic Slavic folklore blorbos are living rent free in my head and I have no outlet

A comm I did for @porcelainseashore's Kult: Divinity Lost OC, René!

[rattenprince]

I have had the pleasure to try my hand at making a couple of Hunter: the Vigil and Kult | Divinity Lost themed dividers for @porcelainseashore ! They were a lot of fun to do, but I did get a little carried away, particularly with the Kult ones, so I've put them under the cut~

Here's the Lucifuge themed Hunter ones:

And here's some of the Kult ones:

I got very carried away with these ones and have like 40 with the symbols of I believe the Inferno and Archons? I'm not sure if I'll upload them, partly because I don't wanna spam too many of these but also because I'd prefer if I could upload them all together ;w;

But thank you again, porcelain, for commissioning me!
