What I can say….. the best present ever!!!!
We had a Valentine's themed art trade event over at the Forge of Wonders where I got to challenge my art skills by sending two characters on an outing!
Here's my take on a date between @annacory-blog's Twilight Caste Solar, Gale, and my Koh, the hotshot gunslinging male persona of my Eclipse Caste, Kalara.
Anna told me for a date, Gale would love a mischievous evening or reading quietly, so I thought "Why not both?" and sent them on a date to break into a dynast's heretical Scarlet Empress library for a picnic.
Meanwhile, Koh's bodyguard, Night Locust, watches on, despite being told to stay at home. He's glad the boss is having fun, but is secondhand embarrassed at the boss reading lines from "Scarlet Empress Unbound" a purportedly true account of the Empress' secret sexy adventures. 😆
Painted in Procreate with final touches in Photoshop. ---- Enjoy some detail shots of the heretical library:
And finally, a video so you can see how much of a disaster this image was at the start before I was able to salvage it.
So… there is a beautiful discord channel cald “Forge of wanders” and second year in a row a st valentine event is held there with exalted characters sent out for the blind dates.
I am kind of trying to gently nudge the “mysterious matchmaker” to bring the joy of Exalted Valentine to the mass audience, so a bit of advertising!
The art above is the outcome of my character Satica going on a date with Goldern Lies that belongs to @angelasasserart
Once all the works are updated, I promise to drop all the entries in one post.
Would you be interested in sending your character for a date next year?
And the process to share
@toxinfox Happy calibration!!! One more of your characters!!!! I love them all deeply, and would be happy to draw more.
Back to exalted!!!
I am back to drawing exalted characters, as nothing can give more opportunity to draw shiny senseless swirls.
I present you Rahna - infernal exalt that belongs to @Toxinfox.
I have attempted to depict him fading in an essence storm after the “work” is done.
There were quite a few speculations on why he is shushing someone. I still adhere to theory that he is shushing child that accidentally woke up, after their family was dealt with. Because he might be an assassin (former I believe) but he will not harm innocent child. Well…. At least this is my vision. Toxinfox will know better!!!!
I have also finished a new art for Epsilon.
She is one of my most loved and longer played Exalted characters, and she had only one ancient art. It just had to be fixed, so I fixed it. Now I am struggling with the fact I want to draw to many things at a time. :( If you wonder, who she is. Here comes some info. Mostly copy from the older post. Story
Epsilon was raised in a lunar tribe at the far North of the Creation. The tribe itself was an experiment on social behavior, which supposed that all problems of humanity are caused by denial of animal instincts in human nature.
Epsilon is not an actual name, rather hierarchical number that was assigned to her, based on her innate abilities. She might have not been the best among her "siblings", but she was for sure the most stubborn one.
Once she fell in argument with the tribe leader. To prove her point she climbed the mountain where the giant eagles lived in order to tame one of them. While struggling to get the animal under control Epsilon cut her long braids crafting a leash.
Epsilon came down from this mountain as Zenith Exalted, chosen by the Sun.
Character
Tribal upbringing resulted in low social experience, that is why she seems quite inadequate from time to time. On the other hand she has perfect senses. Her best friend is a giant sentient eagle named Alcvora.
Epsilon’s character is reliable, strict but generous and really stubborn. She is a bit paranoid, always expecting something bad to happen. She believes that failure of anyone in her circle is her own.
She is focused on building a perfect society based on the doctrine taught by her mentor.
Appearance:
Epsilon is above average height; slim, but has some obvious muscles. Her dark hair is decorated with feathers. All of her facial features are a bit heavy. She prefers simple functional clothing, that she rarely changes.
