Islander

September 20, 2018.Reading time 3 minutes.

And so you continue in this world where you are the only moving, changing thing. The sky stretches blue-on-blue, the stormclouds paralyzed the moment before bursting, patches of sky all the more vivid for the contrast. Trees are frozen jerked to one side by the wind, and the cars on the street have been empty […]

[Frankenstein] – Regaining Composure

August 6, 2018.Reading time 18 minutes.

Things at the house were in disarray after Victor’s meltdown. Father made plans to send him on a health retreat to a summer home in Marseilles, Justine and Ernest and William panicked. Henry took it upon himself to visit Victor every day to suss out the cause of his collapse. Everyone asked Lily what had […]

Yours To Keep – current project WIP!

July 12, 2018.Reading time 1 minute.

Addie; cell-shaded and ready to go! Lots of outfits. The golden standard.

Aiden; he’ll have a t-shirt outfit as well.

Louis; his planned outfits are tiny shorts, casual, and business suit. I’ve been using him to check the proportions of other portraits.

Lily; different shirts if needed, but she dresses pretty plainly. Lily is actually my second favorite NPC!

Sid; he can also have alternate shirts. I based him off the Rock!

Will; he took almost no time at all because of his tiny face.

Chadra; somehow this portrait ended up being one of my favorites.

Madoc; a dark horse, he ended up being one of my favorite NPCs. The shirt around his waist will be plaid.

Lord Tierson; someone please help this irresponsible man.

Joshua; Not To Be Dramatic But I Would Die For Joshie.

I’ve been working on a massive project: character portraits (with expressions!!! and with different outfits for major characters!) for all the important characters in the upcoming second part of Yours To Keep, a Changeling the Dreaming liveplay done by Duets with Dice. That’s a lot of art! Honestly, I’m not even halfway done… only Adelaide, […]

A Bullet With My Name On It

July 9, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

I was given a bullet with my name on it by the man who killed my father, a year to the day he was executed. There was no powder in it, of course, because the commander was not the sort of man to give away a tool that could be used to kill him. My […]

You Gotta Watch Them Alpine Lakes

June 28, 2018.Reading time 6 minutes.

Sunlight glared off the only boat in the mountain lake. A few yards away was the island that might have saved the passengers, maybe even the captain if they were especially quick and steel-nerved. As it was, the boaters who’d been brash enough to dare the water thirty minutes ago huddled on deck, unable to […]

Graveyard Hills and Stillborn Grass

June 26, 2018.Reading time 8 minutes.

Years and specifics blurred together for him. It was a symptom of location, the flat scrubland punctuated only by oil pumps and their entourage of rangy cattle. Grass that grew up dead and yellow, snapped like matchsticks under the boots of the people who lived here. Why any sane human being, let along a few […]

Hungry Stupidity

June 13, 2018.Reading time 6 minutes.

I came up behind him on silent feet. Or maybe not? I wasn’t listening to my own footsteps, it was too far gone for that, too deep, all I could really hear was the beating heart. Awash in raw, unfiltered sensation like a sea of boiling glass. Grating on my skin and fire in my […]

‘Yours To Keep’ Season 1 Final Episode art.

June 11, 2018.Reading time less than 1 minute.

It’s here! Like the title said, the final episode of ‘Yours To Keep’ season 1 is available for your listening pleasure. Here’s the art for it! Since it was the final episode I did something special for it. I put a lot of thought into it, and I could tell it was a good piece […]

Aethal Blumenkronz

June 8, 2018.Reading time 2 minutes.

Told you I was working on a big piece. The player character for the Vampire the Masquerade Dark Ages game, as promised in the previous post. Clan Ventrue, early Transylvanian Saxon (not that she calls herself that), and absolutely relentless seducer of comely maids. How to refer to Aethal in-game and in my out-of-game materials […]

[sketch] V20: Dark Ages/Transylvania Chronicles NPCs

May 31, 2018.Reading time 2 minutes.

“Well, I should do some art for the Vampire the Masquerade game me and Mo from ‘Duets With Dice‘ are doing together. I wonder who I should do? The main character? Their sire? What should I draw to best establish the chronicle, its tone, its mood?” “Oh, I know! Supporting NPCs!” The unassuming Lady Bogdana […]
