From the 6th of October to 6th of December I will be hosting an open casual art/writing event inspired by one of the more popular the Sabbat auctoritas ritae - Palla Grande.
As voted by my followers and friends, I've chosen to go with the theme 'Danse Macabre for how our ocs would dress for the Palla Grande event. Inspired by the met gala and some sabbat headcanons
'In true high-society fashion, many vampires also compete with each other for the most elaborate costumes. Often the most spectacular and unusual displays are by one or two elder Tzimisce skilled in the art of Fleshcraft, but it is not unheard of for a Toreador antitribu to exchange favors with a talented Tzimisce "artist" to create a finely fleshcrafted face or costume for the party.
How this works; From now until the 6th of December if you want to join in all you have to do is draw/write your interpretation with your Sabbat (or Sabbat friendly) character's costume within the theme. Not unlike a Met gala. There is no 'set' look, I very much want to see what you come up with based on the keywords!!
To participate; make a creation of your preferred medium, use the tag #Palla Grande Danse Macabre or tag me directly anytime between 6th of October to 6th of December. (No AI works please) SABBAT CHARACTERS PREFERRED BUT IF YOU HAVE NONE, CONSIDER A SCENARIO WHERE YOUR OC MIGHT HAVE BEEN INVITED!

The Danse Macabre , also called the Dance of Death, is an artistic genre of allegory from the Late Middle Ages on the universality of death.
The Danse Macabre consists of the dead, or a personification of death, summoning representatives from all walks of life to dance along to the grave, typically with a pope, emperor, king, child, and labourer. The effect is both frivolous and terrifying, beseeching its audience to react emotionally. It was produced as memento mori, to remind people of the fragility of their lives and the vanity of earthly glory.[1]
This theme is special as a tradition towards this very thing exists within the black hand.
Sabbat and Camarilla are natural enemies. Like Sabbat and heretics. Or Sabbat and Infernaists. Or Sabbat and other Sabbat. Damned Sabbat! They ruined the Sabbat!
