Improper Use Of The Tzimisce Blood Form Definitely, But A Fun "prank" For Sure, Gotta Love Powers That

just to answer your question in the tags "is the base like a bike helmet or something?" nope its all made from scratch no base, i just carefully molded thermo plastic to my face and built off that, covered it all in foam clay and sculpted it up.

ive said a few times that im making a cosplay for Outis my yautja oc but i ive not posted any photos on tumbler. i have most of the build so far posted up on my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/blakes.cosplay/ for those that want to see. ive just got the paint job mostly done now and im going to add all the dreds in the next day or 2

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

VTM ART streams

upgraded to a proper microphone for streaming so can finally do art streams like ive wanted to do, gonna be streaming on twitch if people wanna hang out and chat as i draw vampires, my main focus is going to be the backstory comic for my tzimisce, and working on some maps and floor plans for campaign locations. https://www.twitch.tv/blakescosplay

"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

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.

Do you think when two Tzimisce are in love they mix their dirt together so they can sleep in the same bed 🥺

finally started drawing my full VTM Coterie gonna stream working on the rest of it tomorrow at around 7pm South Australia time in about 16ish hours at time of posting so if people wanna ask questions about my character Sabrina or my vtm game comment them below and ill answer on stream on in text after it https://www.twitch.tv/blakescosplay

so ive been working on that first time using Protean sequence for my Vamp OC Sabrina, and this is my first time drawing a bat that wasn't just a black shape in the background for scale on a landscape. and i blame all the bat Astarion art for why shes so cute, i haven't even played Baldur's Gate III but fan art of him is everywhere and he's perfect

i forgot to post this here Sabrina doing the gold swimsuit trend…. it was briefly really hot

wanted to try something different and to put a proper bit of effort in and really get out of the half assed "style" Ive been stuck in

im actually pretty happy with how she came out, i do like this more then the line art i normally do but it just takes so much longer
