❗cw: blood (a little bit)❗
My Dusk Caste Abyssal from Exalted ttrpg
His title is Quartz Crumbs of Wyrm's Teeth. Or Quartz for short. Or, if you're a meanie and a hater, Crumbs. Fun fact: "crumb" in my native language is also a slang for "babygirl". Do what you will with this information 😌
Quartz is that one anime character type who is just idiotic (/affectionate) and aggressive while also being a loser. It's not that he's a huge danger (to other Exalted, normal mortals have my condolences). It's just that his default settings are loud and screaming threats which he may or may not execute afterwards.
Honestly, he was an idiotic and loud creature when he was Solar as well, so personality-wise little changed after his Abyssal Exaltation. He didn't actually want to take the whole Abyssal deal, but Deathlord who laid his eyes on Quartz managed to, well, convince him. It wasn't a pleasurable process, but it happened. Now Quartz dutifully (yeah, very, he's the most dutiful servant to have (no)) serves his Deathlord, while quietly pondering whether he should try to get his freedom back or if the risk is not worth it.
Expect more pictures with this bastard sometime soon, he has my brain in a chokehold
❗ cw: much more blood under the cut❗
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.)
❗blood (a bit)❗
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
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 :]
