Been a long time since I actually posted stuff, so here's one of the two things I've done in the last few weeks.

Yes this guy again

"Ew, for you? Twenty percent more. And make it quick It's cold out here."

I forgot I hadn't posted this here yet! Geoffrey's early adulthood was rough. As the firstborn male of the current Rosenthal generation, he was on set to become the family's monk. How quickly your world can be destroyed...

Really like FUNGER so I drew my characters in the first game's style of lineup, NOW IN COLOR!

Quick bios on our "Heroes"

Adolf Hainzart: He had once intended to live peacefully as a carpenter, but undead aggression saw his home village in ruin. The last man of his clan, the last tender of Frederick's Grove. He intends to continue the line of tradesmen in his ancestral homeland.

He is xenophobic to the point where even other nations of the Congregatio Fidelium are viewed with suspicion.

Christopher De Rochard: The hidden son of House Rochard, forced into knighthood and bloodied from the wars with heretic men of the north. Christopher holds himself to high standards of honour and nobility. Regretting being associated with peasantry and rabble such as Adolf. He is quite willing to compromise, being the one to forgive filthy Rashtalites if they choose to help the crusade.

Geoffrey Rosenthal: An old and skillful monk. He possesses skills of larceny, acrobatics, and key knowledge of how to truly hurt a human without killing them. He has an extensive education on mathematics, theology and alchemy. Though active and nimble, his puny stature and advanced age make him a fragile and weak combatant.

Afflicted with an overactive sex drive, he must take drugs to suppress it or struggle mentally to contain his urges.

Elizabeth Dorset: Concerned deeply over the state of mortal souls, Elizabeth seeks to gain control over her very own from the Gods. Cursed with knowledge forbidden in even Rashtalite doctrine, morality and ethics are just speedbumps on the path to true freedom.

She disdains most authority, but has an unhealthy love for her former professor...

So here they are, as far present (forward?) in time for this necromancer world as my blog has gotten.

Giant Goth Barbarian and the Manlet Geoffrey in his prostitution days. With a bodyhair-less alt!

I love a good contrast. Geoffrey is 4'11" and the Barb is 6'7" or somewhere around there. (I actually lost that info when I cropped my art doc)

Trying something new! More to come.

I think it's a funny concept, Geoffrey helping my crusaders disguise to sneak into a Volghazi settlement or smth.

Adolf refuses to don the monk robes so he's just a well-groomed dreg. He's also not too happy about being clean shaven but it'll grow back.

Christopher is excited to see a culture that doesn't vilify homosexuality from the inside.

And Geoffrey is frustrated just trying to educate these savages on how to behave.

@turquoisegoat Challenged people to draw OCs at 1 HP. Here are mine!

Here's another one of young Geoffrey.

Obviously he didn't do it but it's never good having those thoughts.

I don't really know what to say. I've always felt it condescending and sickening when people would say "You are loved" and "We are here for you!" and all that shit. Maybe some people want to hear that from strangers, but when I think someone barely knows me, I suspect ulterior motives behind compassion.

It's easy to get caught in a trap of accountability. Where some things out of your control, or things you were destined to fail at some point, become the justification to why you should kill yourself.

One day I'll expound upon why Geoffrey ever has or ever might feel that way again. For now, enjoy the nadir of his life.
