Happy calibration! Here's my Exalted Secret Santa art for @woolymonster of The Left Hand of Hell! All the options were great, but as a fellow appreciator of big meathead exalts with about as much subtlety as a brick to the head, I immediately knew who I had to sketch up!
Bang your heads, for the glory of Hell!
Happy Calibration! Here’s my contribution to this years exchange, for @butch-king-frankenstein
I had a lot of fun choices to pick from, but this guy and his giant hammer were calling to me, and I had to answer “Yes Sir”
Exalted Secret Santa Journal
1.) The Centurion, called the Hellsayer or the Left Hand(as in, Left Hand of Hell) is an Infernal of the Slayer Caste, who knows nothing of subtlety. He made his debut in Creation by sacking an Immaculate temple city with an army of demons and mutants and beastpeople, all of whom had sworn fealty to the Centurion and made into Creatures of Darkness. When the Immaculates tried to retake the city with an army, he shattered it and left their bones to surround the city as a warning to future invaders. His bracers are bronze, heavy and set in the style if coiling snakes with green gems for eyes, and set into each snake’s forehead. His necklace is made of Yasal Crystals, each one holding a bound demon. If he needs to, he can crack it open with his bare hands. His belt is made of behemoth hide and lined with blood ape fur, studded with huge horns. It can be used to hold things with straps or handles, or to gore an opponent in a grapple! Also, the star shapes on the kilt-y thing he’s wearing are green stars. Like I said, dude has no subtlety. His weapon is a ridiculously proportioned combination of guitar/axe/wailing angel-thing with no arms. The strings glow red, and impale the angel through the back and come out beneath the ribs, so the angel kinda looks like he’s scrunching over in agony in order to keep the strings taut. It has 6 wings and is made of golden orichalcum with more of a satin finish that bright ‘n shiny, with pink gems set in the wings. If you want to skip this, I wouldn’t blame you. If you ONLY wanted to draw the weapon, that would be cool too!
2.) The Black Metal Martyr, Moonshadow Caste Abyssal. Mostly named as such because his face is permanently wearing a black-and-white mask of corpse paint and tangled long blond hair. I also have a photo included of the corpse paint, just in case you are unfamiliar! He never sleeps, and he has a haunted, tired look to his face. His armor is greyish-blue-to-black, rimed with frost even when he is indoors. He almost never removes it, as he lives a life of wandering the frozen wastelands of the North, fighting for justice for the dead as well as the living. His sword is old and brittle, and when it takes lives it begins to exude a red mist like steam. It s just as indestructible as any artifact, but it really doesn’t look like it. His shield is a massive tower shield made of bronze and orichalcum, and should look as old as the sword, though not nearly so fragile. Big sun symbol in the middle, lighter than the rest.
3.)The Mercy of Faith was once a small man, living a humble life in the shadow of the temple of the Immaculates. They took from his village whatever they desired, and when it became too much to bear the people of the village went to the temple to beseech restraint from the monks who lorded over them. In response, the monks murdered those who had gone with him, and he himself was mutilated and sent back to his people as a warning that the monks called mercy. But rather than make his people bear the burden of his failure, he wandered into the Wastes, seeking to commune with the devils that resided there. They gave him sympathy, and offered him power and vengeance. He returned to the temple, and he repayed the monks for their mercy. Now, he wanders the Burning Sands, moving from temple to monastery to sacred shrine, seeking to punish the abuse and negligence of monk, priest, and god alike, freeing the oppressed from the shackles of devotion. In doing so he has ironically built a steadily growing cult of followers who trail behind his path of destruction, eager to help those caught in the middle to find new purpose in their liberation.
The Mercy of Faith keeps his head roughly shorn, and bears deep scars all across his body. He arms were cut off above the elbow, and he wears as little as possible without being naked, that others may look upon him and see the injuries that made him. Upon his waist he wears a belt with a devilish face with glowing runes and a tattered train. He is stocky and muscular, and in the center of his chest a glowing eye is set, rimmed with thick veins of gold and occasionally blinking. He makes extensive use of Mind Hand Manipulation, using it both to create invisible phantom arms to replace the ones the lost, and to fling scythes of infernal essence as ranged weapons. When he transforms into his devil body incarnation, the phantom arms become visible, though still translucent, and the scars glow with an intense energy, radiating his inner fire.
Exalted Secret Santa, 15th Edition
Hello friends!
It's that time again; time to come together over the winter season to make some art of each other's amazing Exalted characters. If you're an artist in the Exalted fandom, here's what you'll need to participate:
1) A working tumblr account. RSVP to me in an ask, message, reply to this post, confirmation in the reblog tags, etc. so I will know to add you to the list. If you submit under a new handle but have participated before, or if your tumblr name has changed, please note the name of the account you will be posting with for the exchange. I like to make sure repeat participants get different assignments and gifts every year; if you have changed names please just remind me a little, so I can ensure you don't get paired with the same person twice.
2) Post a journal to tumblr by December 10th with the descriptions of the character you would like drawn. Include two or three if you have them to give the person drawing for you more options. Please provide all the physical and relevant details needed to draw the character, and provide a reference picture if at all possible. (A piece of your own art, a commission, a play-by picture, etc.)
Also, if you have any strong aversions or phobias that might be important for a stranger drawing your character, please note that in the journal. (For example: “Silent Vortex of the Storm’s left eye is brilliant white-blue like her anima, but her right eye is lost and that side of her face scarred badly. She always wears her eyepatch and a close-fitting hood. (I’d prefer not to see any graphic eye trauma.)”
Just try to make it as easy as possible for your gifter to draw your character!
Tag your journal with #exalted or #exalted secret santa so I can find it (or message me with a link). Once all the journals are up, I’ll make a post compiling the links to them all so they’re easy to find. I will also send you a message through asks or messages with the name of the person you are assigned to draw for. Please try to get your journal up by the 10th so your gifter will have plenty of time to draw for you.
2) Check your messages or ask box for your assignment. I will have this to you on December 11th if at all possible. Let me know if you’re planning to be unavailable for any major length of time just in case I need to get ahold of you for further details. If you have an emergency and cannot finish the trade in time (for example, your tablet or scanner breaks), let me know asap so I can arrange a replacement. Thank you!
3) Submit a piece of finished artwork by January 14th. Please tag your submission with the secret santa tag and your giftee’s name if you wish, or I can notify them once it’s up. When all the gifts are posted, I’ll compile them into a single post so we can all get a good look at them.
Let me know by December 10th and I will have your assignments to you within 24 hours if at all possible. Feel free to message me at any time with any questions.
Sorry, I do not accept writing or mechanics submissions for this Secret Santa (though you are welcome to accompany your picture with some text, and of course welcome to host a writing exchange of your own!)
Happy Calibration,
-Path.

The Vigilant Eye, Soulsteel Caste Alchemical. Tasked with leading the first wave of the invasion that will become known as the Locust Crusade. Not pictured here, but he also wears a floor-length leather poncho and a floppy black hat, for the purposes of disguise while moving around in Creation. Have fun!!

A bit late to the party(sincerest apologies!), but here is my submission for this years Exalted Secret Santa! This is @maribunart `s Karal Lei-Xin, a former Lookshyan Twilight Solar.
I saw "Twilight" and immediately thought of Sorcery, and wanted to make a magical display using the colors of the sunset, and the gathering of sorcerous essence. I realized half way through that she might not be a Sorcerer, but it was too late to turn back!
There is more that I want to do with it, like adding a phantom cake and maybe a few dancing cupcakes. I’ll let you know as soon as that happens. Until then, Happy Calibration Maribunart!
i haven't done the assignments yet, so you can still get on board for secret santa if you want :)
I would love to! I look forward to it every year.

@caprichista The Unjustly Widowed Heart Embalmed in Vengeance draws her acursed weapon from the void, preparing to strike at the heart of her foe!
I had a lot of fun with this. I wanted to make a dynamic pose and play around with foreshortening, and so I decided to have her reaching for her bow as she draws it from the Void. Spooky stuff!
Happy Secret Satan 2021! Looking forward to the next year with all of you!

The Lich summons his minions!
The past several months have not been kind to my mental health. I haven't drawn in months. I've gained a bunch of weight. I barely post anything at all because depression likes to remind me that I have nothing interesting to say. I know that's not entirely true, I just stop talking when it hits me hard. I'm so good at just fading away into the ether. I haven't drawn in months.
Sorry for the complain. I just needed to express myself somewhere other than Facebook, because if there is one thing I don't need right now it's my family judging me for feeling down.
