hey what if I posted some of my other art.

and by that I mean here's some of my non-aurora art

My friend and my characters in Spore War, a Pathfinder 2e Adventure Path about the demons in elven lands!

Ashvelor Kest'ahl ["Asher"] (left, he/him) is an elven bard, and Kirivette No'ahl ["Kiri"] (right, she/her ish) is an aiuvarin [half-elf] magus! They are half-siblings, Asher has a cat familiar named Puck :)

Bonus: their outfit/character design sketches are below the cut!

Maybe next post will be the gala outfits I made of us all based on how each player described them during that part of the AP >:3c

"how do you play a warlock in Pathfinder 2e" - fortunately, and unfortunately, the answer is perhaps fivefold I'd argue, depending on WHAT precisely about the warlock you find appealing: witch, thaumaturge, magus, psychic or oracle.

The PF2E witch is a full spellcaster using intelligence - but they rely on a patron who gives them their spells via a special familiar. Definitely Pact of the Chain warlock vibes. However, way more powerful spellcasting then a 5e warlock, more equivalent to a wizard.

The thaumaturge has strong occult vibes, focused on "esoterica" - magical scraps and relics that empower special abilities. No patron, technically not spellcasting, but a Charisma-based occult magic user that looks sick as hell. Does seem a bit Hexbladey though, given armor and weapon proficiencies and capacity for melee combat.

The magus similarly is a strong melee combatant, with limited spellcasting much more akin to how the warlock pact slots work in 5e (though Intelligence based). They can use spells to empower their weapon strikes, and they can only cast at their highest two spell levels available (though unlike the warlock, these levels go all the way to 9)

If the thing you like most about the warlock is being able to build a mass murderer around a cantrip, the psychic might be right for you. One of their cool base class features is additional psychic-only cantrips, which you can then "amp" for more power and utility.

The oracle, like the thaumaturge, shares more flavor than mechanics with the warlock, and is probably the weakest case for equivalency in this post. They're charisma casters with divine spells, but unlike clerics their power isn't from a god, but rather a "mystery". One of their key features is a curse, which as it's strengthened provides both power and drawbacks. The curse mechanics feel very eldritch.

ANYWAY at first glance I was like "wtf no warlock, that seems like a missed opportunity" but no, Paizo was like "how do you like your warlock?" and served you up a buffet.

I got to play Caedrinn for a oneshot! It's nice to get to play him outside Wrath, and in a setting where he's a "totally normal Human™️" since that's a thing about him that usually has to get dropped because it's just not a thing in most settings.

I gave him spell blending so he could use gravity bow and he landed a crit with scorching ray during the oneshot so that was rad as hell <3

actual art!!!!!!! doing some character concepts for my pathfinder Magus, Thibault Avov... Dobravek?

going for a fusion of high class and dirty adventurer type with an injection of 12-14th century Rus armor and classic fantasy magic runes. I think I'm doing a fine job of it so far but we've only just begun.

I also need to add his 14 other books he keeps strapped up with.

here's his inspirational/reference board. full of good stuff

flowers for his backstory lore. in-game, he's been forsaken by his family for standing up for his sibling, who was caught up in an arranged marriage they did not want to be in. Thibault, at the expense of it all, stepped in, and denied the marriage in front of the gods, and it earned him permanent stigmatization. he's been wandering for some time now.

hoping to work his flower visualization, which is based off of 1860's victorian flower language, into his textiles for his comfortwear.

Since I finally chose my mythic path in Wrath of the Righteous I finally threw together some art of my character Caedrinn! I can't wait to see how my chaotic good Cayden Cailean worshipper reckons with being chosen to be an aeon.

I gotta get back to playing, I'm perpetually walking this line of either drawing as much as I want but not playing enough Wrath, or doing vice versa.

I've been having ideas for a future campaign, and reasons to have Caesar show up as an NPC (or at least his significantly more unhinged clone since the party failed to capture his original), so I wanted to doodle him up a proper full body reference for it!

This is also weirdly enough the first time I've drawn a fullbody in his main outfit, alongside his rapier, which he only ever used once during the original campaign.

As always, timelapse under the cut, and feel free to terrorize me in the tags with ur thoughts on this baddie <3

Killian got to use his flying blade to swing down into combat :3 It's my first non-sparring match combat with him so I'm looking forward to seeing how it shakes out ^^

It's also his first non-training or arena combat but nobody knows that so it's FINE right?????
