If you have left me a nice tag please know I've plucked it out and dried it in the warm sun so I can then use it to garnish bubbly sodas to drink and feel refreshed even once the season has passed
SHOUT OUT TO THESE TWO SHOTS I REALLY ENJOYED BUT HAD TO AXE FROM THE ANIMATIC!!! ez this one is 4 u
CONSUMED
A small animatic from a scene in game. A little while ago, one of the PCs was consumed by a dark power and disappeared without trace, and they've been haunting the narrative since.
The methods we employ…
The quote is from Dracula - it felt appropriate. Also I decided that vampire hunters are really cool, actually.
I love many things about this character, in case it wasn’t obvious, but here’s a couple. I love how (barring player interference) she decides to straight up solo the final dungeon in the middle of the module as written, barely escapes with her life, and lies low for all of 5 seconds before coming up with a new approach. I love her actually pretty cool trap idea featuring a magic circle in an abbey on the other side of the map from the evil vampire lord castle HQ. I love how they choose to phrase her flaw every time she’s featured in a book, as she is a fascinating combo of brash and reckless and hyper-prepared and ridiculously competent.
I love who she chooses to be and what she chooses to do in the face of living in a setting/plane of existence which is ultimately doomed and damned and damning and dark in a very particular way (but this is a trope I’m a sucker for generally, see: my url). Could all her efforts be considered futile? The answer is a resounding no, never.
I love how in a module absolutely overflowing with wizard-y statblocks for some reason (including the big bad himself), Ez stands out as the only one who doesn’t go for the default fireball spam but instead zaps people with lightning bolts. Absolutely iconic.
The way you get good at art is drawing the same character over and over again, right? These things take forever for me, but I do have one more WIP, very zappy, still early super rough days, under the cut.

One skill I'm very proud of is that I'm very good at asking questions at volume, which is great, because I LOVE pestering people about their pc/oc blorbos. It's SOO interesting to me to see all the different ways both players and characters approach an ask.
answering questions from that meme that popped out at me (aka the ones i can answer quickly)
2. what was your original concept for this character? how did playing them change that concept?
roma's original concept was a gentle person who desperately wanted to be loved/liked (VERY VAGUE CONCEPTUALLY) and this photo
His name used to be Amata to reflect this. Roma's current concept started with that "I was, in fact, raised by wolves" backstory snippet from DM's Guide, and that's still currently one of the cruxes of his character.
4. what one person, place, or thing do they love more than anything else?
van wicky c:
7. there’s a magic item (or technological innovation, or special resource) made just for them—what is it?
a pouch that dispenses little trinkets that he can give away, usually nature-y things or sparkly trinkets... things fey generally like
8. what songs remind you of them? if there are specific lyrics or movements, list ‘em!
this section from phoebe bridgers' graceland too
and that era of really high energy petty early 00s pop punk, paramore's misery business and olivia rodrigo's good 4 u type vibes
13. what are some motifs you associate with them? did you intentionally bring in those motifs, or did it happen over time?
Deep forest greens (intentional), shadows intentionally and also unintentionally thru campaign events, pinecones and pine trees (unintentional)
20. what attracts them to someone—platonically and/or romantically, anything counts.
i described roma's type to a friend of mine and they said "so someone who looks like they'd survive natural selection?" and that's pretty much it
23. in what moment did they consider themselves to be “grown up”?
When he could keep up with pack hunts without physically struggling. When he got taller.
24. are they close to any family members?
He was actually very close to his (dog) mom and pretty close with the rest of his (dog) family.
29. what feelings do they internalize?
Pain! Mostly physical, but on the occasions he can't dispel it mental as well. He's pretty good at hiding it in that, wild animals hiding their wounds way
35. when did they feel loneliest?
Dying after Strahd killed him, and having to broker a deal with Osybus to live again.
39. are they insecure about their appearance? how about their personality? what aspects specifically worry them?
Not normally (at least not for long) but currently their biggest worry is that Osybus is going to change Roma into someone he currently would hate, but after transformation he simply wouldn't realize.
Generally, he is worried about coming to hate the people he currently likes, because the deal he has with Osybus seems to mean that every time he makes a wish in the future it'll continuously change Roma as he knows himself until unrecognizable
48. do they relate to anyone in their group? conversely, which person do they relate to the least?
In the party, when they were still around Roma connected with Elle the most, and for the most part Roma's felt fundamentally opposed to Vice.
52. how would they dress themselves up for a formal event?
Unfortunately they wouldn't go to a formal event ): But I imagine if they went they'd dress in a simple black linen dress, square shaped neckline, narrow sleeves that go over his knuckles, and a Really bushy flower crown made of pine leaves and smaller pinecones. Pine perfume. Barefoot.
53. do they keep their plans close to their chest?
No, he infodumps if people care to ask
56. who would they trust with their life, unequivocally?
van wicky
58. how often do they swear? do they mind when others swear?
Doesn't swear, doesn't mind if others do though!
63. what’s a meme or tiktok or vine (or whatever) that you associate with them?
HELLO i want everyone to know what I lack in [CANON ACCURATE EZ] I make up with [DRAWING HER AS HOT AS I CAN PHYSICALLY MANAGE]
anyway !!! unrelated to anything here's modern day punk ez
Last minute art fight attack for @huntedsmark! It's her DND character Roma. Big fan of his design, and feral little rangers in general! <3
can't believe ive been given (entire self imposed) the sisyphean task of having to make my own content to feed myself. what the fuck. whose idea wsa this (it was my own idea)
anyway i love both ez and roma (and every other npc) and i just think its funny that my description i will not change says that my posts are mostly going to be roma when ez is Rapidly Catching Up
