Pure of Heart, Dumb of Ass

holy shit! this project has been over a year in the making and i am delighted to finally be able to share it with all of you!!

this colourful cast belongs to the D&D podcast Arklands, in which one character’s backstory follows the journey laid out by the 22 major arcana archetypes (in the traditional order, with justice at no.8 and strength at no.11, rather than the rider-waite-smith layout). i was commissioned by the podcast’s developer to create a set to represent that journey!

I saved screenshots of her blog and last message to the world. Her parents had a lot of control over how she was perceived after her death, but it was also to prevent deletion by Tumblr itself. Even back then, Tumblr has been shadow banning trans women on this platform.

A Ghost looking for a Guardian. Not just any Guardian. Her Guardian.

Bonus character sheet. I am legit so nervous about this bc I've never really put out non-joke D2 OCs in front of y'all and I hope y'all like them, or at least enjoy the comics, or both! I'm going to hide now.
