#strahtober

Final Strahdtober for this Inktober season (I’m going to keep going after this tho cause it’s fun) and of course it goes to the man himself: Strahd.

I did this for @levanaora in a super fun gift exchange, and it was just so perfect of a prompt for the last day too~

Decided to do a randomizer for the Strahtober prompts, and I still landed on Sergei for the first day haha.

I just finished reading the first “I, Strahd” novel, so drawing Sergei after reliving the ✨horrors✨ was kind of therapeutic and sad at the same time. Keeping it vague for spoilers sake, but oof. Such a sunshiny guy, BUT OOF.

Strahtober prompt: Raven, featuring @legendlorelibrary’s cutest duo, Raisa and Keelin

She’s apart of the Martikov family, of course ravens like her~

I’m behind on doing random roll Strahtober, so here is my Day 2: Necromancy, featuring my groups Nekomancer (Atropa’s sister) lmao. He is very protective.

Bell belongs to @wintert-ide

Strahtober: Barovian Fashion

Did I use this as an excuse to show off all of Atropa’s looks so far? Yes. Did I spend too much time on it and neglect things that need my attention? Also yes. Do I have regrets? Nope lol. I like drawing outfits 💖

Strahtober list is by the lovely @crowholtz

‼️CW: Blood and neck wound

Strahtober prompt: Mirror! This was fun, and though I got a little carried away, I stopped before getting into coloring and shading. I’m bad at following the Inktober rules haha.

Explanation: I wanted to take this prompt and show a moment from my CoS game where SABR went into a shop in Mordent and came face to face with mirrors that showed anything magical or hidden on its subject. It cut through Atropa’s Disguise Self, so his vampirism and hidden Tabaxi features were in plain view, as well as a magical force surrounding him and his tome. With Bell, you could see her necrosis spreading up her hand and the ghost she is haunted by/ bonded to. Solomon, you could see his neck wound still bleeding and the mists still surrounding him, as well as his super weird pocket watch sinisterly glowing as it continues to count down. With Raisa everyone could see the unkindness of ghost ravens flocking around her that live in her heirloom Raven pendent. It was a lot, but also incredibly interesting and such a cool story moment.

Going to be doing these prompts when I have time so don’t expect them everyday okay. I’m doing my best qwq

Bell belongs to @wintert-ide, Solomon belongs to @systememotions, Raisa belongs to @legendlorelibrary, and @arasdain came up with the cool scenario~
