Taff!

Had this as a book mark for awhile now. Has some pretty good in depth render shots for Garrett’s model. https://render.ru/ru/gallery/artwork/234467

wow…has it been that long? I think it’s clear that I am not good at running any social media page.

Anyway I am back. Kinda. More of a lurker these days. I bring new art though.

I have been enjoying the new VR thief. Definitely a different experience but it works well. Wanted to do a kind of “Passing the Torch” piece.

Also I realize Magpie’s bow is not correct…but I have closed this piece so no more work.

It looks better on my monitor than my phone...so quality might differ depending on your screen.

Trying something different here; wanted to try different styles or brush strokes. I think the first pass looks alright. Lots to improve on.

But I didn’t want to leave you guys without art, so enjoy some Dark Project ending banter. I added all three versions as I am not sure what I like...the comic font was causing me some issue.

Hope everyone is doing well during these difficult times. Been working from home over the last three weeks and it’s been...trying to say the least. Haven’t done a lot of art simply because I have been kinda tired these days after work.

I did this little hermit crab to kinda get me out of the funk. Hermit crabs always work from home .

Happy 2020! Sorry I am late :) but I have art today.

Still experimenting with Vikky’s new look or at least what I am trying to go for. Originally I was only planning to do a quick sketch just to get something posted but in the end did a more finished idea. I quickly added some detail close up shots of her eye markings and skin texture

Kinda like the borderless version.

:3

“You came back thief...it’s been so long.”

Finally posting art again on this place. Also I was on vacation…

Re Design of Viktoria. I figured, it’s 2019 and she could use a little make over I think. Honestly, I have been kinda drawing her like this for about a year now with some minor changes.

She is a nymph and part of the forest and I kinda wanted her to reflect that vs just a naked green lady that can manipulate her limbs. Something different.

:p

I don’t know how I feel being back in here other than I feel like I let a lot of people down, and I don’t know how to fix it.

*sigh*

Soooo a number of my Thief art got flagged as "explicit". XD I mean if you can call a shirtless Karras "explicit" then alright. Sorry if you guys are missing any art you may have favorited in the past :(

Happy 20 years of taffing around! The Thief franchise has reached its 20th anniversary!

I heard people like Keeper Assassins :P

The assassins (Enforcers) are probably one of the best things in Deadly Shadows, if not one of the more depressing Thief lore.

The Enforcers are an elite group of Keepers that specialize in,...well...eliminating targets that are mostly seen as a threat to the faction. Garrett has been marked twice by them: once when he left the order (thanks to Caduca they weren’t sent after him), and the other time in Deadly Shadows after some rather tense events.

According to a book found in the forbidden library, keepers that complete their acolyte training can choose (yes they volunteer...) to become Enforcers rather than go and be just regular keepers. They go through a rather painful ritual that involves using powerful glyphs that are placed on their bodies. What these glyphs do to them is unknown, but Garrett does comment that they change them, almost as if they are no longer people anymore. Once the ritual is complete, that Enforcer’s name is placed in a book called The Book of Names and is never spoken of again. This book is probably what also controls them. So it is possible they don’t remember their names or who they were before becoming Enforcers. 

They only communicate through telepathy and use powerful battle glyphs to eliminate targets. Their weapon of choice is a sickle that they can throw with deadly accuracy or use them to channel glyph magic.

I suspect that under those masks...isn’t something pretty. I am thinking a scarred or deformed face is under them.  Damaged by glyphs. Maybe taking off their masks is not possible and if they are, probably painful. When the final glyph was activated, the names of the Enforcers were either restored to them or the Enforcers died as the glyphs might have been keeping them alive. 

This one is probably a newly recruited one. I don’t have a name for her yet. Or even a number.
