So, the absolutely amazing and talented @coffeeandtoastforbreakfast designed two characters for me! I wanted to pay for a commission, but they aren’t ready to do that, so I’ll be writing for them from a prompt to “pay” for this awesomeness. They also are working on Yogg’s messed up, Lovecraftian body horror form, so that’s super exciting and I know how well they can do it from their AFO horror sketches!
I was talking to them about my story and they are such a great listener and loved it enough to do this for me. It means so much to me!
This is a character sheet they made for Yogg’s human form. He’s the Big Bad of my story proper, but this is how he shows up in flashbacks leading to the reveal of who he really is. In a nutshell: he and the main character, Ember, had a relationship in the past that spanned decades. Unbeknownst to him, they ended up having a child together before Ember, finding out who he really is and him going cuckoo, pushed him back into the Kingdom of the Dead. Their daughter’s name is Cambria, but she doesn’t know her parentage until later.
Cambria has a Bearded Dragon named Butters(after my own Beardie) that seems to be sentient…it could have to do with her inate powers and she’s subconsiously making it reality….
Yogg’s name is a direct reference to Yog Sothoth from Lovecraft as he is my favorite Old One. He tells Ember his name is Al when they meet and pretends he’s just a regular everyday Shadow Ancient. She doesn’t like the other Ancients and barely knows anything about them so decides to play along with his weird name.
Yogg is a BIG GUY. He’s overweight and took the form of an Italian-American due to where he first formed when coming to Earth. His weight is a direct correlation to him being the God of Death, Devourer of Souls.
ANYWAY, enjoy this awesome character sheet and a lovely sketch they did of Cambria!
Want to know more about this story and it’s mythos?
I am working on releasing a separate blog featuring a writing experiment I am doing. It is written in the first-person of a character name Tas, a scholar trying to catalogue the knowledge of The Ancients. Within his tome, he explains the history of the Universe and how The Ancients came to be and how they operate. I’ll be sharing that as soon as it gets going. I have a wonderful artist @2000dragonarmy working on a commission to go along with these blog posts, so look out for it when I share!!!
