I Continue My Exaltedposting. Here Is Hope For A Universal Summer, My Zenith Solar Lady. She's From Whitewall,

I continue my exaltedposting. Here is Hope for a Universal Summer, my Zenith Solar lady. She's from Whitewall, so I tried to include both asian and slavic elements in her design.

And something like Modern AU! Quartz, my Dusk Abyssal OC, whom you might've seen in my last, like, three posts. Only I have troubles designing modern characters in interesting ways, but oh well. I still like this pic :]

In wake of DnD 2024 I remembered about my DnD OCs.

I watched some videos on new species. I like changes to aasimar a lot (my faves), but I'm sad about drow's immense lore reduction (my second faves). I get why it was done and how it can improve the game, but I also feel like it makes some aspects of it more boring and doesn't help new dms and players with distinguishing all the elves. Mixed feelings on drow, in short. Nothing new, I guess :'D

About characters in the picture: these are Arcuvol (drow lady) and Garxia (tiefling gentleman). They are from an original setting, but general lore of their species here is pretty much the same as in classic 5e: one is a cruel matriarchy serving evil goddess and another consists of lone misfits who are generally not so well liked.

Arcuvol is a bit twisted take on Disney princesses (druid of circle of the shepherd) and Garxia is an assassin rogue who weirdly hasn't assassinated anyone. Yet. He was a warlock using his powers to protect some tiefling kids before his patron died, and now they are on their own again. They are managing, though. Arcuvol and her younger brother are helping a lot.

These guys are kinda secluded from outside world, vibing in some mountains and really hoping that a bunch if adventures won't come and disturb their peaceful life.

(The adventures would come. And these two will become antagonists for plot reasons. But yeah. On their own they are pretty chill. They bring me so much joy. You can't imagine.)

Another messy sketch under the cut

Oh, and here is Arcuvol's brother, Kullintel. I must warn you, both picture and design are pretty old by now :'D

This is my beloved girl, Evgeniya Kazarina aka "Three". Profecient in Mind Sphere, despite being only 19. One of the Hollow.

Tap on picture for better quality, as usual :]

The cipher on the right translates to "these swords still carry the warmth of your hands"

This picture was meant to be about touch starvation and trying to get softness where you can, even from things which harm you. To give your own meaning to things in order to feel just a little bit more loved, even if it doesn't make any sense in actuality. I don't feel like I did the idea justice. But whatever.

This is Quartz Crumbs of Wyrm's Teeth, my Abyssal Exalted OC, whom you might've seen in my previous posts. Of course I gave tragic backstory even to my aggressive and idiotic bastard (/affectionate). No character is safe from my desire to cry 😎

A bit of process and additional picture under the cut:

Process. I really like the lineart, especially my attempt at making Quartz's hands kinda relaxed and gentle in this piece. Nothing shows what I wanted to show better then gentleness to something that's killing you.

And additional picture. I don't know whose hand that is, by the way. I don't have an OC who would get this close to Quartz to show affection to him yet. I don't know if I ever will. I'm making myself sad thinking about it, mission accomplished, yay :'D

Quartz (my Dusk Abyssal OC) gets a watermelon because I like him. My silly evil son. Not a single thought behind those beautiful eyes...

(Quartz has actually bought the watermelon. With actual money. Terrifying everyone in the local village by appearing there and peacefully making the purchase. I mean, more like throwing money at some poor farmer who was ready to give Quartz anything for free in exchange for mercy for themselves and their family, but still. Quartz didn't want the unfortunate person or their family, he wanted a watermelon and decided to be somewhat nice about it. And afterwards Quartz just left without really harming anyone but still refusing to elaborate.)

(The money he gave to the farmer was probably thrown out the second Quartz left, and the farmer is probably now getting a lot of side-eye glances (at best), but oh well. It's their problems, not Quartz's.)
