its kinda painfully to see how much of my art skills ive lost, cos i basically have only done sketches and dnd maps... (all on my SFW page https://blake-nikos.tumblr.com/ ) for the last few years my sense of posing and proportions are all way off for character stuff ive really gotta go back to basics and get some proper practice in

Lust
DESIGN COMMENTARY
Lust is a hollow being given shape only by the many hands creating their form. A floating red cloth emerges from the back of their hollow head and drifts enticingly in search to confine another being; their desire is destructive, blind, and always seeking another. Their headpiece of hands resembles the sun. Physical connection can provide true warmth but their crown is of a cold and luxurious gold. It does not have the true comfort of the sun, only the shape to signal a misleading intent. Two hands cup the hollow of their head, a constant reach into an unfulfilled void. A row of holden eyes wraps around their neck and adorns their chest; their sight is merely surface level, as cold and detached as their crown. Lust does not have feet that walk the ground due to their desire to never settle for anything. They carry a sword with engraved eyes. I just think swords are cool.

So ive started thinking about Sabrina's extend family recently, through the sire connection and being actually adopted by Mina and vlad. but the first of her family im roughing out, Luiminta a 12th gen tzimisce who is focused on Koldunic sorcery and is very good at it, tho shes isn't very good at any physical disciplines or Vicissitude a traditionalist but Sabrina has got her kinda addicted to the internet its all quite in the village till you start hearing Lumi in the distance singing meme songs, Red Flags by Tom Cardy was a real problem around Tzimisce that can actually make human centipede
i wanted to draw Sabrina Protean wolf form again after that last post about it and decided to make it a little christmassy and no one expects the christmas crowbar to the knees swung by a wolf with potance active
PT 1 As if Tzimisce weren't op enough, when you really start to utilize the undead body as a tool you can do some wacky stuff to increase survivability. a proper coffin lined with dirt works best but the "bag o dirt" dose lessen the clan curse a good deal, but as always consult with your story teller / dm "reminder.... remove sticky notes before healing chest" also add pseudo diaphragm to half lung
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.
