Mort's Crypt

Most of these are from March/April, when I was focused on giving the characters face and hairstyles (some were tougher than the others).

I knew exactly what I was looking for when it came to Liam - my sad wet bird of a guy. A lonely scavenger with too many skeletons in his closet. His outfit might change a little (I'm not fond of his boots in particular), but otherwise I'm quite happy with the result!

Quin on the other hand? Boy, trying to figure out a blond twink of your own after drawing SO MANY of them in the past few years was tough, because I knew that no matter what I do, he'll look like somebody I've already drawn before. My nerdy boi with a photographic memory, who's far too smart for his own good (while also being incredibly impractical and entirely dumb about certain things). Definitely not a fighter, more of an explorer and a 'scholar'. Collects remaining magical artifacts/trinkets.

Ulric is-- Ulric. Since I already tweaked his origin (and his armor) a lot for the original game character version, it wasn't that difficult to come up with a new one for the needs of this story. I could just go wild without fearing of messing up the canon characters around him. Gave him one of my older chars as his brother. In this new world he's a ranger, still goes insane about wolves, is still a bastard and his right eye is actually blind this time. His surname is Norbrook here and he's a regent of a city up in the north.

Cassian was also a question mark. I knew what type of character I needed to match Ulric in the world (...of course I did), but I still wanted him to be unique in his own way. So I ended up with a fox. Another redhead elf to my collection (a third one actually???). He's from the hottest city in the south. A mages' son, a spy, a thief, a slave, a runaway, a killer only when he needs to be (doesn't enjoy it). He dyes his hair and changes his henna-like tattoos to look different often. So technically -- all of the concepts I have for him here are valid? But in my head he's almost always redhaired.

And Valeria. A free soul. Cass' best friend and his 'savior'. Rider from the great eastern plains. A nomad, a storyteller, an ambassador. I've had her for ten years (wait whut) now and I keep dropping her into EVERY single cameo I can think of, because she's just... fun.

I think I' went'm going a little insane about this story. Kept saying I hope this project survives the con season. Only one con left this Saturday and the prologue (the most complicated part) is almost finished (6/8 pages done, 2 more almost finished).

I wanted to drop these here just to show off my new blorbos and maybe give you a hint of what I've been doodling and building in between all the work.
