i am LOVING campaign four so much so far, and i want to get back into the fanart game, so here's some sketches of two of my faves, trying to figure out how i want to draw them!!

Occtis because he craves touch, always has, being the hated and ignored runt of the Tachonis breed. The first time Thaisha gave him a hug he probably cried. And especially in death--he's just so cold, all the time. The problem, though, is that while he craves it, he can hardly stand it. His last living memory was cruelty; now every embrace feels like ghoulish hands holding him down, every touch reminds him of his brother's hands carving him open. He can't help but flinch away from the warmth he so desperately needs.

Thimble, on the other hand, has no problem with contact--it's just that she can't get it. She's barely the size of most people's hands. When's the last time she had a real hug? Sitting on someone's shoulder, or even being cupped in their palm, just isn't the same. Being cut off from Faerie is a loneliness she doesn't know how to explain.

Sam Riegel as Wicander Halovar for Campaign 4, episode 30.
