"hm? Oh! Good evening! is eh- is everything alright? I asked Amaranth to message me in case of an emergency and haven't received anything..."

piggybacking off of his last digital and the thought of "lucien doing photography as a hobby" i thought it would be fun if later on in my chronicle, the coterie encounters him out and about taking some pretty pictures of sydney! i mean- the second half of my chronicle is set during the vivid period, afterall. so here's lucien taking some pictures of the opera house and being interrupted by a member of the coterie just happening upon him bc i think it's ultimately a cute lil' idea :::) also admittedly i did get a bit lazy with the BG and only drew the railing??? look i dont wanna draw the opera house and i especially don't wanna have to try and match the light show. im not insane enough for that sketch and bg pic under the cut!

"yaknow i'm surprised you managed to live through elysium last night!!! i for real thought yall were gonna cark it!! well maybe not like. pinkerton-fuck was their name??? ball or somethin iunno i stopped paying attention when i saw brooke in fuzzy handcuffs- BUT!!!!!!!!! HEY!!!!!!!!!! you lived!!!!1 great job!!!!!!! and~~~ I'm loving the sparkles!!! tho maybe next time you could show off some more skin???? it won't kill ya, i promise!!!!"

so about a week or so ago i had a thought about alruna and her warlock stuff specifically, "if aldous' burn scars spread as he levels, what if alruna's armor becomes more mechanical/monstrous in appearance??" cue me drawing some bullshit and the idea turned into this!!! which is actually 'alruna if she were being used as a puppet by her patron' because THERES NO WAY A WARLOCK PATRON IS A GOOD BEING IM SORRY I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT.

i like the idea of this being a boss fight either where im in control and get to fuck up my friends OR its like. alruna's corpse being controlled after she dies or smth either way its fucked up and i love it to yap abt the design a bit tho~ just like how Syro pulls from some ancient sketches i did of some automatons we ran into like YEARS AGO (it was a dungeon and very fun!) alruna is the same, while also pulling from what has since been done to Syro's design! so the stars, filigree, and shoulderpiece come from syro, while the ball joints, and ribbed limbs come from the automatons the drippy face came later, mainly bc i thought it was interesting to have both twins have half of their face obscured/distorted by their fucked up magic (to symbolise depersonalisation) but yea!!! thats the spoopy alruna artwork!!! and the sketch is under the cut~~~~~~

"Ah. Good morning, Valentine. I have to commend you on your survivability. what with all your bumbling about, going off of absolutely nothing but the faintest whisper of information, and ultimately being the worst mistake I have ever had the displeasure of creating! But luckily, mistakes can be fixed-Just like your sire."

"so!!! you're working for uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck whats-her-face??? im gonna be so honest I've met her like five times -mainly because she never leaves addy alone for more than two minutes- and when she opens her mouth i just like…….. no. I dunno why- maybe cuz she knew my sire, maybe cuz any shred of respect I had for the camarilla was lost long ago! we may never know. But like- how is that gig treating you??? from what I remember, the cam are like…. fuckin assholes to nossies like yourself. Like- only use you all for your skills and pretend you don't exist otherwise kinda bullshit. She isn't like. pulling that on you is she?? cuz idunno~ if you ever wanted to come join the anarchs I wouldn't mind!! I know some guys you could kick it with! she definitely would want my head but lets be honest she prolly already does ivorytowerdefectionandallthat but she deserves every shitty thing coming her way dontcha think?? bah whatever LETS GO GET A DRINK!!!! you can still drink right??? ya wanna do like- shots or somethin???"

MY FIRST COMMISION!!!! YAY!!!!! it was for the wonderful @not-a-very-good-dungeon-master (who is however a very good moot) of their super cool thinblood, Hazel!!!
