"What do we have here...A couple folk lost their way? This forest is no place for a wanderin' mortal like yourself - the veil between your world and the other is thin, and you're bound to wander into a fae of some sort... Why yes, I am fae! Only in part though ;). Now lets get you out of these woods before somethin' actually dangerous comes along, aye?"

I've once again superimposed Malotz into a new setting and that setting is @mernolan's Everking, which is very irish folklore vibes. You can read about it here on her neocities! In this setting we've decided that Malotz is half fae and serves as either a filí or seanchaí for his nomadic community, as his fae-blood gifts serve him well for those roles. He wants to venture out and find his fae mother, who left after he was born, but gifted him with a guardian, Scout, as a way for him to be looked after in her absence. His duties to his home keep him from leaving, but perhaps with the right catalyst he can have his chance at it....

Born to Explore! 

Malotz Arykethen - a cartographer with an itch for travel. He’s a lover of people and cultures, and believes that each map he makes is nothing short of a love letter to a place he’s visited. While in Agaras, he was forced to reconcile with his past when he found out his father was taken as a political prisoner, and eventually apologized for running away and completely disregarding his family. Malotz still doesn’t care for politics and makes a point to live off only what money is necessary, but the wounds associated with worrying his family were finally allowed to heal over.

( 210414 - Tried some new techniques, p happy with the result, but its time consuming. Going to have to think of ways to utilize those skills/processes in a more efficient manner.)

I don’t really upload WIPs very often, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt for once. Here’s some tarot card WIPs I’ve had kicking around for a while that I just tied down tonight! 

I had made a list of all the PCs and a bunch of NPCs to fill out all of the Major Arcana, but seeing as it’s been a year since I’ve picked this project up, I doubt ill have the energy for a whole deck. I did want to at least get the PCs + our DMs favorite NPC on the docket, though. I have ideas on how I want to render these out but for now they’ll exist as just these sketches. 

These characters specifically are from the Agaras campaign, in order - Malotz, Schmendrick, Gresh’am, Lyrshel, Alikeri, Cullpepper, and Cartwright.

In late 2020 through early 2021 I played Malotz in what I can only describe as an INCREDIBLY emotionally charged dungeons and dragons game. This sort of mini comic represented a turning point for me.

The earring is from an NPC Malotz had been in close contact with and... long story short, it was his fault that this big wolf creature got ahold of him and murdered him. Malotz fights with this guilt for the rest of the campaign. 

You’ll have to excuse the scribblyness of the end I didnt have the energy to really finish it haha. Big campaign moment tho!
