Tiza's Journal

[tiza-journal]

Days 2-5 are finally finished!

((Yes it took me 10 days to finish 4 days, I don't know how people do one a day. Mostly likely through witchcraft.))

Here's each day by themselves:

So I'm trying out an art challenge for the month of Nov! I'll be following orangebunnit's Charatober prompt (yes I know it November, I was busy in October, shush.)

The first prompt was Character Bio, and I took this as an opportunity to redesign Tiza a bit to be a bit spooky. The wording is written below for easier reading.

Tiza of the Feywild: Daughter of Baba Talaga

Tiza is a hexblood born from a deal made by her parents and an ancient hag, Baba Talaga. Due to this, Tiza's soul is cursed to always return to 'Mother' something she likes to reminds her and her 'sister' of often. Having no desire to join the coven, Tiza escape from Mother's lair and the Feywild. She stumbles across a group of women and travels with them, hoping to find some way to break the pact keeping her trapped.

Likes: Fruit pastries, flowers, being outside, shiny trinkets

Dislikes: Shoes, tight spaces w/ no exits, most meat

Fears: Winged Beasts (i.e. birds, bats)

Worst habit: Not selling the pretty stuff they loot

Dark Secret: That she is the daughter of an Ancient Hag

One of my friends, Happy who plays Granny Mildred, drew our party! Say hello to the Bevy of Broads.

((Also, there's a Steam game she helped make called Rusted Moss. Its a cute looking platform game with similar vibes to Metroidvania.

She didn't ask to promote the game or anything, just wanted to share.

Marpenoth 1st

First official Journal entry!! And boy is it a dozy, 17 pages and covering the first 3 sessions. Might need to find a better way to split these up.

Please feel free to provide any feedback, I'm not really writer so I'm open to anything, so long as it's polite.

Some random sketches of Tiza, featuring Cinders the cat and George Balduran the bullfrog (on top of Tiza's head)

Also fun fact about Hexbloods: If they cut off their hair it will grow back to its longer length.

The start of a journal. These are only semi-canon and are more of a writing practice to find Tiza's 'voice'.
