#dagul

REPEAT,   RELAPSE.

Those unexpected moments when your characters trauma comes up when he’s not anticipating it and ends up lashing out in anger to hide the fear and panic. Anyway I decided to take my time with some practice to draw the details of his expression as he works through that panic.

TIME MARCHES EVER ONWARD

PRINCE OF THE PACT 

Dagul got a bit of a power upgrade in the game. Namely that he’s been named as the prince of the second layer of hell, and holds dominion over a piece of the pact primeval, letting him break or force contracts. This gives him the ability to summon the ruby rod of Asmodeus, and has officially marked him fully as a fiend.

DREAMING

Based loosely on a dream Dagul had and the events going on in game as of late. There’s a lot happening and OH BOY is it ever... painful. Poor Dagul’s heart is going through the wringer right now but he’s also full of conviction. So we’ll see where this leads us... Hopefully it’s to a happy ending, but I’m not crossing my fingers. Tragedy seems to follow Dagul wherever he goes.

Everything went to hell in a hand basket in our DND campaign last session and we’re all still processing everything but I figured now would be a good time to post this soft art I did a little while back of Dagul and his pregnant wife.

UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCE.

DND session ended pretty heavy. We thought we had killed the big bad of this fight, I put my axe through his head and he stopped moving, so we were quickly trying to stabilise NPC’s and heal wounds. I’m usually the last to get healed up as the zealot barb of the party. Which was fine, but I turned my back on the big bad and uh... he wasn’t fully dead yet. Turns out we needed to burn his body. 

Well he wasn’t very happy with me. And I was at less then a quarter of my health. He absolutely demolished me, as my DM put it:

“He gets you in the back with a slash of his scythe before that blade comes through your body and out the front, and he wrenches that thing upwards, cutting you straight up through the heart”

So uh... hm. Yeah that was fun. Through some VERY VERY LUCKY rolls on my part and both of our teams medical experts they managed to BARELY save my life. But we had to end the session there because my DM very realistically told me that “the medical repercussions of having your heart cut in half and the extent of damage Dagul took in this fight is something I’m going to have to think about because it’s going to be pretty severe”

WELCOME TO TALES OF INTRIGUE SEASON 3!!

The Shards of Tomorrow are back with a vacation gone awry and serving some new looks. With new poster and portraits, they’ve got a lot ahead of them. A wedding, a tournament to the death, a court trial and who knows what else. 

A lot of really emotional game changing stuff went down last session and I've been trying to capture Dagul's feelings about it but I can't quite get it right...

But this one looked nice enough for me to clean up a bit and keep so, here you go, a treat.
