Ref Recs for Whump Writers

Violence: A Writer’s Guide:  This is not about writing technique. It is an introduction to the world of violence. To the parts that people don’t understand. The parts that books and movies get wrong. Not just the mechanics, but how people who live in a violent world think and feel about what they do and what they see done.

Hurting Your Characters: HURTING YOUR CHARACTERS discusses the immediate effect of trauma on the body, its physiologic response, including the types of nerve fibers and the sensations they convey, and how injuries feel to the character. This book also presents a simplified overview of the expected recovery times for the injuries discussed in young, otherwise healthy individuals.

Body Trauma: A writer’s guide to wounds and injuries. Body Trauma explains what happens to body organs and bones maimed by accident or intent and the small window of opportunity for emergency treatment. Research what happens in a hospital operating room and the personnel who initiate treatment. Use these facts to bring added realism to your stories and novels.

10 B.S. Medical Tropes that Need to Die TODAY…and What to Do Instead: Written by a paramedic and writer with a decade of experience, 10 BS Medical Tropes covers exactly that: clichéd and inaccurate tropes that not only ruin books, they have the potential to hurt real people in the real world. 

Maim Your Characters: How Injuries Work in Fiction: Increase Realism. Raise the Stakes. Tell Better Stories. Maim Your Characters is the definitive guide to using wounds and injuries to their greatest effect in your story. Learn not only the six critical parts of an injury plot, but more importantly, how to make sure that the injury you’re inflicting matters. 

Blood on the Page: This handy resource is a must-have guide for writers whose characters live on the edge of danger. If you like easy-to-follow tools, expert opinions from someone with firsthand knowledge, and you don’t mind a bit of fictional bodily harm, then you’ll love Samantha Keel’s invaluable handbook

[ID: A digital illustration of Vax'ildan and Keyleth from Critical Role. The two of them are kissing, Vax'ildan is covered in blood and Keyleth lightly spattered with it. Vax holds a gemstone in his right hand and Keyleth holds his face in her hands. Behind them is a green background. End description.]

as the ambassador of Essek wearing white i had to draw my default design for his Aeor outfit (it has appeared in two of my drawings btw, including the latest sg piece!). i think this can count towards my Essek of the week series, which i need to continue like so bad

eight billion layers here!! a thermal shirt you can't see, a turtleneck, a tunic over it, then a coat with a hood and the sexy split sleeves, and then finally a cloak! gotta stay warm And fashionable my friends. also very importantly gloves, which cover the turtleneck's sleeves and regrettably come off when somatic casting is required

me and the lads were talking about Essek getting a familiar and @artofcarmen suggested a cat that comes out looking like a cat-sized moorbounder, which made me go "i'm drawing Essek with a tiny moorbounder kitten familiar now or so help me god"
