Gilead's Gauntlet

Opening some sketch commissions to feed my crippling caffeine addiction. These are open indefinitely! Some quick info: - Payment through PayPal or KoFi. - Contact either through Tumblr or discord (@ maliciousmetal) - After claiming a slot and providing references (visual ones preferred but I can work over written ones too) we'll figure out payment after which I'll start working on your commission. - Turnover rate will be 24 hours for a regular b/w sketch or just short of a couple days for a coloured one. - No tweaks but if I get some essential feature wrong I'll tweak that for free - Vampire the Masquerade (or any other World of Darkness RPG) characters get a 5 dollar discount.

Former Revenants are always a whole lotta fun but you don't get to see the Bratovitch getting embraced by Toreador all that often so I thought it'd be fun to explore that story a bit more in our Chronicle.

Alongside her future Zulo shape, her sire Dante for scale.

It's always fun thinking about what some of the dustiest vampire Elders were like during their fledgling years so here's Gilead long before he started rocking the chitinous bone and flayed skin look more permanently. Having been a Revenant Knight in service of the Voivode amongst Voivodes does give you a bit of a headstart in unlife but being sired into the Omen Wars - with like four different active vampire conflicts going on with your Clan as well - more than makes up for that.

Working on a little series drawing some of our Chronicle's dusty old Tzimisce NPCs when they were just fledglings. I'll probably clean these up into something proper (eventually) in the new year. So here you've got Gilead, your typical 11th century Romanian Voivode and Kazimierz Sabatin (later known as Malkin) your jolly 15th century Polish Gentry.

I got the chance to draw @informaltorching 's Vesper for the WoD Tumblr Secret Santa! Huge thanks to @crownedinmarigolds and @auspex for organizing this! <3

As a little followup on that little set of Old Clan Tzimisce I decided to sketch up some progeny for funsies. It's anyone's guess which one is whose dusty Sire's Childe with the first trio of Stanislava, Ustinya and Aleksei. Last but not least, there's an Old Clan version of Tess - Theresa in this case - since reimagining OCs in different ways is good for the soul.

Couple of sketches I might never actually finish so why not share 'em. My Tzimisce Voivode Gilead during the Dark Ages ca. 1100's as a fledgling, little tattoo study of my Mariner Gangrel Irnes and lastly my Nosferatu Devon being his usual self.
