Sketch of a young person holding a lit candle in a dark basement. The character is frozen in fear, looking at something the viewer can't see. The candle sheds a dim yellow light, showing bars in the background.
The Toreador experienced manmade horrors beyond their comprehension in a gothic mansion yesterday
What a session π―οΈ
#VtM #art
A vertical poster-type illustration showing a small shrine framed by two barren trees. Fire rises from the ground, and four characters emerge from it: a woman armed with a dagger, a young non-binary student, a man folding his hands in prayer, and a long-haired man wearing a suit. Below are three more characters - a man and a woman are seen covering their eyes and mouth respectively beside a hooded woman.
Act I: Fire β€οΈβπ₯
#VtM
Sketch of an original character for an old project I drafted years ago and never wrote. She has short curly brown hair, yellow eyes, and golden makeup and jewelry. She crosses her arms with a somber expression.
"The Stand User could be anyone"
A side by side comparison of two pairs of eyes of the same character, a young man with pale skin and dark brown hair and eyes. In the first, the eyes are more round and the eyebrows higher. In the second, the eyes have a more dramatic, narrower shape, and the eyebrows are lower.
You ever finish lineart and then redo it to adjust facial features to be more on-model for the character
I always try to get it just right β¨

Had a rare opportunity to walk around my city at dawn recently so I took some pictures
Cracow by Night ended, now Cracow at Dawn is my best friend π€οΈ

Illustration of an armor-clad woman who wears a full-face mask and a veil over her hair. She carries a chain in her gloved hand. Her burgundy-colored leather armor with a black shirt underneath is inspired by the Mughal Empire of early modern India. Her shirt and veil are decorated with golden floral patterns, and parts of her armor bear dark green Elvish inscriptions. An Indian-style scimitar hangs from her belt.
A cropped illustration of a Southeast Asian woman wearing medieval European light armor and carrying a bronze spear. She leans casually against a fence. Her right eye is missing due to a scar that runs across her face.
Illustration of a dark elf woman reclining on a sofa. She has long white hair, skin resembling a starry night sky, and pale golden eyes. Batlike wings sprout from her back. She is dressed in a red sari and golden jewelry. The background is dark red.
Illustration of a dark elf priestess casting a spell with an eight-pointed star sigil. She has dark purple-ish skin, short black hair, and silver glowing tattoos on her face and arm. Her outfit, jewelry, and tattoos are inspired by traditional Moroccan fashion.

Also using google summary screenshots as arguments just shows that you have no knowledge or curiosity beyond the absolute surface level needed to make that argument against people who likely already know the thing you're showing them, it's just immensely cringe in many ways
I get so annoyed when I see people have some discourse online and someone sends a google screenshot of the definition of some word like it's a super intellectual kind of own
Like, yes, congratulations, that is the basic meaning of that word and not the one we agreed upon in this specific context π
My art but not my first language, so there's that
Maybe make it "intense fear" or something like that?
I remember I kept negotiating with the proofreaders on my campaign book because they deemed my language too flowery and not concise enough for an informational text, it was a major struggle π€£
As much as I wish people would appreciate adventures as an artistic medium, as whole self-contained stories, a lot of people use them for parts so they want to know what they'll get out of it (statblocks, dungeons, etc)
Ultimately they're not written to be read as literature but to be used in play
A commissioned illustration featuring a DnD party of five characters, each lit in a different color. There is a blue-haired person with horns and pomegranate earrings, a blonde elf woman surrounded by golden flowers, a man with purple wings and hair, a person with dark blue hair surrounded by peacock feathers, and a woman with red furry ears and yellow eyes armed with a shield.
Illustration drawn for an art trade event, featuring a dark elf cleric. She casts a spell that produces a ring of light reflected on her golden armor. Her skin in purple, and her hair is short, curly, and white.

Four character sketches shown from the side, lined up from tallest to shortest. The first is a long-haired man in a black turtleneck and coat, a tattooed woman wearing a teal scarf, a young man with a blue rosary around his neck, and an androgynous goth wearing a loose red shirt and black waistcoat.
Since we had a four month timeskip in my #VtM game, I decided to redraw the coterie to reflect the changes they've gone through
They grow up so fast π₯Ή
A 3 by 3 square grid moodboard, with four images in a cool teal color scheme, four in a warm orange one, and one in the center that combines the two. The images are: an upside down shadow of a man standing on the street, a rose next to lit candles, the clasped hands of a praying man, sunlit seeping through hanging beads, a foggy dawn in the city of KrakΓ³w, Poland, a hand in the dark illuminated by a hint of sunset, a chain, floorboards illuminated with an orange glow, and the shadow of bars on a jail cell floor. All images prominently feature shadows.
My Banu Haqim player has likely figured out a major plot point and I'm so excited to see what her character does about it
I dropped some hints last session and she finally put the pieces together
On a related note, I made another moodboard for this next session to hype up my players (I'm hyped)

Screenshot of a Discord message from me to my friend Naarel. It says, in Polish: "Commemorative pointing Wojak for the occasion". Attached below is a screenshot from my test project's variable viewer menu, with a photo of me doing the funny pointing Wojak meme. My face is censored with the "wow" emoji.
My creative process is basically just doing one small thing and then yelling in @ednaarel.itch.io's DMs about it
It's very effective

Finally came around to watching "Chopin, Chopin!" after award season
I was expecting a generic biopic with maybe a slight modern twist or something, but
Let me tell you ποΈ
The marketing was so deceptive, this movie takes a downright gothic turn, it's so moody and introspective

GODKILLER Qismat has been nominated in 2 categories at Cusco Webfest! We are incredibly grateful and Iβm extremely thankful to our motley crew for making this possible. They deserve all the praise and then some

I'm completely submerged in a new coding project today
Been messing with the ren'py save and load system in various ways to test if a potential future game idea is technically feasible on the engine
So far it's looking promising

A Discord screenshot showing the emojis of a server called KrakΓ³w NocΔ , or Cracow by Night. There are emojis of each of the player characters, their cat, some NPCs, as well as names of NPCs that were not yet shown and the text "cycle of trauma" as an emoji.
My #VtM game's Discord server has a wonderful and growing selection of important emojis
Funnily enough the character who says Girl Time is unironically kind of genderquirky
Yes I'm looking at the Absolution project files I'm sure it doesn't mean anything like uh an update or the like ποΈ ποΈ
Character A says: "You know what time it is?". Character M responds: "Umm... 6 PM?". Character A says: "Wrong! Girl time".
In the age of Girl Dinner and Girl Math, this dialogue I wrote in 2021 hits different
