God You Have A Better Take On Tzimisce Than The *actual Game Art.* Kudos, Fr

okay so the intrusive thoughts won and you all get some yautja OC butt i couldn't think of another way to show how thicc, caked up, meaty, plump Outis is. like whole handfuls would do a front view as well but that might get me in trouble here also the dangers of showering with a partner the first time this happened just confused Outis "i don't think you know how bathing works "

If you think about it. The beckoning as written has a lot of fucked up orientalist connotations. Like, the elders are being summoned away to a war fought by their ancestors. Sure. But they had to backpedal from the whole "they're being summoned to the middle east" and then just kinda... didn't clarify what it meant for the gehenna war to be a global phenomenon. It's conceit as a narrative device relies solely on the elders vanishing into the savage desert and all that shit. It's just lazy writing amd we can do so much better.

It could be so interesting to have elders beckoned to strange places to fulfill some strange piece of a methuselah's goal. Just somebody stupidly powerful appearing one night in small town Alabama half delirious from the beckoning and believing that their sole purpose is to watch over the gas station and cast an esoteric amd seemingly nonsensical spell if they ever see a baby blue '68 El Camino pass through

Like. Get rid of the awful "disappear into the east" nonsense and do something interesting and appropriately alien with it.

its rare but sometimes you just gotta let your OC's have a brake, nothing like going up to the hills alone and activating Auspex and eyes of the beast at the same time to get the best view of the stars on a clear night.... and draining a young couple if they interrupt your alone time trying to find a make out spot :P

posting this art of my VTM v20 tzimisce Sabrina here on my "nsfw" page cos i plan to post some smut of her at some point

its been years since ive done anything with her as the game she was made for fell a part but im running my own VTM game now with my housemates so im bringing her back with a new zulo form and different background and personality re made her sheet for V20 and while its probably not intended Bloodform slime girl is some what plausible with the Promethean Clay merit (and i just wanted to draw it so :P ) also shes basically just a Vampire version of the thing now... shes a "cleaner" for the black hand of the sabat, but spends most of her time working in the back of a club doing tattoos and cosmetic surgery for kindred with body dysphoria using her vicissitude skills (she can even do hair cuts but isn't very good at that ) also just as a aside shes trans, in life she was MTF but after become a kindred and a tzimisce she mastered her own form and the shapeshifting skills of the tzimisce and is now traveling to help others with that skill who would be stuck with the body they were turned with, kinda a wish fulfillment character i don't normally do but its a character motivation ive not seen in WOD befor and one only a tzimisce can do

big old WIP of the first to pages for a 4ish page sequence for my Tzimisce Sabrina and her first test of the Protean beast forms... only posting a wip cos this is going to take a while and if i post about it im more likely to finish it

Doing this as a separate post, since I already reblogged TheSixthPlaneteer (and didn't want to spam him).

FTR, the Sabbat have always essentially been written as the closest to Actual Fascists in VTM (hence originally being the standard Enemy Only Sect), at least for the Modern Sabbat (though it was a thing from the beginning, since while the Camarilla encouraged Via Humanitas, the Sabbat only cared to destroy the old order and happily accepted anyone and everyone that would take the Vaulderie (which meant basically all the inhuman Roads), no matter their 'crimes').

Anyway, focusing on Modern Nights Sabbat here, they're to put it plainly: straight up vampire supremacist religious fanatics that happily accept being bound to eachother to prevent treachery.

The Vaulderie is by all accounts effectively a weakened version of the Blood Bond, but it's still the Blood Bond. For all the flak Clan Tremere gets for the Transubstantiation of the Seven and the enforcement of it, the Sabbat effectively have it the same, just with religious brotherhood flavour. It gets actively policed (there's a reason the Black Hand and Inquisition exist, and it's not because they're there to help Joe Lasombra fight the Camarilla) and you aren't real Sabbat unless you have a Vaulderie to your pack, which invariably involves some form of pseudo-religious ceremony (read: the Ritae) lead by the Pack Priest.

While they accept Caitiff into the Sabbat (see: Pander), it's quite self-serving: they just want to have more meat to throw at their enemies. They treat humanity as no more than chattel and will commit mass murder without blinking an eye, simply because it's the fastest way to harm "the enemy" (shovelheads don't come from nowhere, all of them were people, forced into being cannon fodder after probably consuming or killing those they were trapped with).

The Sabbat is, as a rule, a fascist organisation set up with religious symbolism and hollow claims about fighting "the good fight" (killing anties, tyrant elders and such) that does it's utmost to grind up everyone who could possibly want to change that (joining the alternate Paths of Enlightenment, an utter mockery of the Roads of old, is highly encouraged and low humanity is almost guaranteed).

As a side note, the one Path closest to it's original Road is the Path of Metamorphosis, because it already was basically just trying to shed your humanity and become the monster you supposedly are.

just a silly warm up sketch.

canonically when ever someone calls Sabrina a furry she hits them with "NYAN" while shapeshifting paws and the :3 face (totally not a abuse of her vicissitude ability )

even the largest size maid dress Outis could find was lacking, seams its going to be custom made only, seamstress's/ tailors shouldn't be able to work out outis is a yautja just from measurements right... there are 8ft 6 285kg humans right... oh god her plus size surcharge is going to be crazy. was thinking about outfits for Outis and this interaction was the first thing that came to mind

"tragic" backstories

who would have thought drawing the key moments of a OC's life when they have a "tragic" backstory would mean you gotta draw the traumatic moments, like i didn't have to make it this bad for them. but no had to be scaring and nightmare inducing for them to build "character" writing it out is one thing (done that a bunch of times ) but having to sit and draw it just hits so much harder for me. but no i had to make a OC who's life got better after dying and becoming a vamp cos no happy well adjusted person likes to be a undead monster apparently
