In the Water

Raine in his element. I was trying to make a little Valentine’s day thirst trap sketch, but this boy always looks melancholic. 

And yes we’ve decided his hair color is getting darker because of the things he’s dealing with.

Christopher

René’s sire (a sabbat Malkavian elder), mediating in the ‘mind void’. 

Him and René have a psychic connection through auspex and in a particular scene René finally met the personality in Christopher (the poet) who chose to embrace René. He was one buried deep and René had never spoken to before. 


It was an emotional scene and I had to sketch him.

Radiant Damage (Early Access)

A painting of my paladin Raine in decorative armor. This took me a while to finish because there was so much rendering. 

I put Tyr’s symbol on the breastplate.

René (cw blood)

"I am living at the center of a wound still fresh."

Passing a humanity check brings a lot of pain. So René shot his father (a horrible man who deserved it), something he was adamant would help him... Would fix him.

However, he didn't feel any better after... in fact he started crying

Announcement

I have plans to start offering even more benefits soon, stay tuned!

Exhaustion

After meeting Pyr again (who was taken away by guards before Raine could fully question him) and resurfacing old memories Raine hasn’t been able to sleep. (Going into points of exhaustion next session probably), and I decided to write a little something to attach to the art about his state of mind.

You have to sleep

The sun is up, or at least whatever equivalent to the sun that seems to fill this place with light. It’s up and he hasn’t slept all t...

Harper’s Tattoos

Sketch to show my vampire hunter Harper‘s tattoos (she’s a tattoo artist). She has a few on her legs but I was too lazy to draw those. (These tats were mostly researched, I’m not good at coming up with that stuff). 

The tattoo with the name ‘Enrico’ she got after she met her vampire ‘master‘, Enrico. Back in the days when she was his ghoul. She has yet to cover it up 👀

A memory (WIP)

Oof drawing Raine grinning was harder than I thought, he just doesn’t have the face for it haha 

Anyway, this is part of a memory from a happier time, with him and Pyr. Raine is a good few years younger here (He didn’t used to wear all black back then).

Elf King (ealy access)

Possibly the last art for this year! Hope you like it.

EDIT: Fixed the ears a little

Sad Raine

Just a little sketch. Headcanon that Raine's hair only looks bad when he's really sad. 

edit: To explain, this sort of heartbreak is very rare to witness from him. I’m picturing this during the time he decided to go after Pyr and kill him for what he did. Pyr is like family to him, Raine loved him dearly, so this is a true heartbreak.

Video Q&A’s for next month?

I was thinking it could be fun to start filming the responses to Q&A’s instead of answering in text. Idk if I’ll get enough questions for that, but I’ll give it a try and see.

Secret Alter 🤫

My Malkavian René as his new alter, his name is Nathaniel. He's still currently a secret in our game and will be for a while, so I'm only sharing this with you.

Edit: Also we will time skip into the late 60’s early 70’s in our game, and that’s when he’ll appear.

Beginner Tutorial

This is a simplified tutorial for my process. It is not smoothly rendered or detailed but can be helpful for beginners.

Q&A

This month has been busier than usual, and I will likely be making the exclusive post around the end of it

BUT! In the meantime let’s do some Q&A! Ask away! Art related, character related, general questions about life that I’ll try to answer to the best of my abilities.

Antoine process gif

Trying to make the conscious choice of not drawing everything on one layer so I can share these more often.

Antoine

So my VTM Malkavian René has DID, and his alter’s name is Antoine. Last session we went into a mind palace with René‘s sire where everyone could be seen as how they imagine themselves, and they got to see what Antoine really looks like… and I had to draw it.

Nero from VTM (Early Access)

This was supposed to be a sketch but I got in the zone. Nero (AKA Tamoszius) is an NPC from the VTM books, and a significant NPC in our game. This is how he looks in our story, and I love him.
He’s a toreador musician, and him and René started a band.

Oath of Vengeance

Raine has officially taken his oath last night, and it prompted me to finish this piece.

He unsheathed his sword, knelt on one knee, and placed the sword on the floor in front of him. With one gauntleted hand on the sword, the other on the symbol on his chest he spoke. 

From this day forward, I will fight and live to exact Tyr’s divine justice. For the innocent who were wronged by evil and its wicked ways, as one of his dark knights. I swear to uphold this oath and all ...
