Sometimes as a Tzimisce you need to make a pike out of a guy... for demonstration purposes.

Ishtar Reference Sheet

Well, wait, okay. It's not 100% done. I fully intend to go in and shade her skin eventuallyTM. But! Wow, look at the contrast between this and Samira's sheet, eh? This is my lovely monster Ishtar. A Tzimisce vampire on the Path of Power and the Inner Voice. Sire to my horrible gremlin Allani, whose reference sheet I will make eventually.

Like anything I've drawn, lots I can improve on. Quite pleased with how far I've come in the last year or so of doodling.

She thinks she is the deity Ishtar (ancient Mesopotamian goddess), or at least she allows most others to believe that she believes it. Symbols are 8 pointed stars, hook-shaped knot of reeds, lions, and doves. I have not really drawn much anthro stuff ever, so this was a big learning experience. Braided hair is new to me and tricky as well. We love a good learning experience, or something.

Bit of a random ask, but I thought it might be a fun idea to bat around; if you could create a school for the path of metamorphosis what would it be and how would you go about fulfilling the path? Alternatively, what schools of metamorphosism do you think would exist? I honestly love that metamorphosists have different schools of thought about their path and that they even had conferences (the black churches) to discuss the path. It's a lovely little detail that just seems so very Tzimisce; trying to change the minds of others and mold them into their own way of interpretation of the path, and that teaching this interpretation contradicts it as well. Also the idea of a bunch of Tzimisce getting together to have a conference about the path is just funny to me.

Ohh, huh! The main problem I see is that while conferences are entirely consistent, an entire school would be tricky. Conferences are people at a similar level discussing their ideas with others at around the same level, whereas a school implies hierarchy and a correct way of doing things, which goes against the intensely individualistic vibe of Metamorphosis and is literally a sin. 8 and 7 on the hierarchy of sins are:

8. Asking another for knowledge. The lessons of Metamorphosis are secrets that must be uncovered, not copied.

7. Sharing knowledge with another. Knowledge must be learned, not simply illustrated.

A school sort of goes against the whole ethos of Metamorphosis. Again, conferences, yeah. It's a discussion of peers. But sharing knowledge freely, or asking another to share their knowledge? That shit ain't kosher.

when will they make a VTM game that lets me play my beloved Salubri, Ry lmao

[context]

You know what. You know what we need.

Game where the playable clans are Tzimisce (for me, 0/14 games), Salubri (for you, 0/14 games), Hecata (for @nevertrustanoracle, 1/14 games), Ravnos (for @nightingaletrash, 2/14 games), Gangrel (also for me, 3/14 games), and Lasombra (for @robotslenderman, 5/14 games) and that's it.

Extra bonus points if there's not a single Ventrue in the entire thing. They're just not there, nor Toreador, nor Brujah. No one even comments on it. Of course they wouldn't be there, why would they be there? There are no Ventrue and no one thinks twice. Maybe there's a token mention of someone who might be from a clan who considers themselves natural rulers and are a dab hand with Dominate and you think maybe, maybe, but in the end they're just another Lasombra. Oh well. Who'd have a clan like Ventrue in a game?
