The Rhinemaidens by Gaston Bussière
Recently recovered from a cold AND been having a really busy period at school/artist alleys, so doodling something Zamonia (aka: Hel worldbuilding) related again after a while :D
ANYWAYS the Temple of Ohora gang having a chill good after-work time, because goodness knows they have NOT been having it in the latest chapters of An Igneous Echo
For giganiche OC lore, we got:
- human Wellgunde and helling Belshunnu, priestess of Ohora (Hel's love goddess), doing the erotic Knife Dance of the Sixth Epoch
- part-bookling homunculus Krakoni spitting those bardcore tunes with her lute
- npcs Aorta Parlor employees, including vulphead Nara who also does lower-branch accounting for Lady Pandravis. Cuz yanno. Vulpheads and math. She is another of Pan's Favorites(TM) but also puts pennies into her own pockets without Pan noticing
- human Woglinde chilling with her helling soldier bf Saquwa :]
Koloman Moser - Woglinde (name of one of the Rhinemaidens), Calendar Page from Ver Sacrum No.1, circa 1901.
Koloman Moser Woglinde (from ‘Ver Sacrum') 1901
i always get the worst(TM) doodle ideas in the evening. anyways Hel gang, feat. ocs from Igneous Echo
when you got ocs whose backstories entirely boil down to "going through it 24/7" you gotta meme it out a little so writing them won't feel too heavy SKJDSKJDSJK
anyways some of the side characters that appear in An Igneous Echo!! :''D
Wellgunde and Woglinde, knife-throwing twins who were originally sellsword thieves in Zamonia. Nowadays they're star gladiators of the Theatre of Beautiful Death, and Pandravis' personal bodyguards/prostitutes at the Xhangd. (through their characters I also explore the way that humans are treated in Zamonia...and how, ironically, in Hel they live more luxurious lives than they ever did on the Overworld) Woglinde in particular has a role in AIE's plot, because she was the lover of Saquwa, and OH BOI does she want to avenge him!! I sure hope nothing disastrous happens from that, during Gornab's birthday festival :))
Saquwa, a promising young Helling soldier who did the mistake of allying himself with the wrong people.
Krakoni, the Homunculus bard owned by Pandravis' establishment. A cheerful aspiring wordwright who dreams of making it one day as a singer in a place that is not as anti-music as Hel. She smiles to mask the pain, and due to her nature as a Homunculus created from Zamonians, she years ago used to be the subject of cruel lab tests in the hands of Hellian court alchemists who were developing cosmetics. She's best friends with Wellgunde and Woglinde and they all rotate a blunt during off-work hours
Siegfried and the Rhinemaidens by Hans Zatzka
Its OC musing hours again teehee (with pondering Hellian worldbuilding hcs about how Hellings view humans, cuz yknow everything always comes back to that regarding my Zam stuff LOL). Spoilers for Igneous Echo chapters obviously!!
