a cropped detail of a digital illustration showing a crazed village woman mid-transformation into a corvid demon. the light from the moon is red and she is levitating in a corn field, her body contorting and a crazed smile adorning her face. a digifal illustration depicting a sunlit forest clearing on which a ruined fort stands. its built of white stone with ivy slowly overtaking it a d through out the image, there are a few goblins scattered, patrolling the grounds. the one we see most clearly, on the foreground carries a spear and a grin on his face. portrait of a brown haired pale man done in the style of an old looking oil painting. it is contained on a thin oval frame a d lit by a single point above. it shows a man wringing out his hands on a dirty rag. he is dressed in a worn white shirt, daek waiscoat and a pale yellow necktie. his hair is falling loosely around his face in a messy ponytail and gis face bears marks of decay. his eyes are glazed over like eyes of a corpse and he has the look of tightly concealed anguish on his face. digital illustration depicting riders dressed in decorated, east slavic folklore inspired garb, mounted on giant goats, flying thru the sunset-lit orange sky. they have gleefull expressions on their face and are adorned in many shiny pieces of jewelery.

"Holy Sacrament"
.

[OCs: Nikky (me) & Sister Catherine (@mossborn.bsky.social) #NewtsOCs VtM, 1835 England]
A square digital illustration that consists of a drawing of two figures ont he left and a bold strip of text on the right. It depicts the taking of sacrament, a soft-faced nun in off-white habit is feeding a piece of bread to a more rugged figure, that is kneeling in front of her. They have a straw-coloured hair, dressed in practical but tidy clothing, perhaps their sunday attire, with a couple knives strapped to their hip and boot. They are holding their hands in a prayer, eyes closed and mouth open with the tongue almost touching the nuns fingers as she feeds them the piece of bread. there is a splatter of red down their chin, as if they have previously drank of the communion wine. There is a small crucifix above them. Ont he right, there is a gothic style large decorative text in muted red/orange reading "Eat of His flesh Drink of His blood" there is more text in the border around the drawing, but much smaller, reading: "Sister Catherine Alden & Nikola Graves", "City of Magoth 1835 England", "Vampire the Masquerade", "Created by @Eyeofthenewt & @Mossborn".

the art vs the artists hand
Gloomy illustration of a scarecrow construct turning his back on the viewer with a salute as he departs into a field of corn. The scene is set at night, with a bright light of a crescent moon with a grinning face shining down. The scarecrow is wearing a large floppy straw hat and has a banjo across his back. the hand with which he's saluting shows its metal mechanical parts. Behind him, there are teal green ghosts of farmspeaople emerging from the corn field. The text on the bottom says: Avantris Entertainment, Crooked Moon 2024, Charlie "Newt" Borovský @EyeOfThenewt. photo of a pale hand with tattoos in front of a book case, the fingers are posed in a slightly curled position. the tattoos include: a spiky branch wrapping around the wrist, an eye with beams coming off it on the middle finger, two crescent moons on the pointer and ring finger and some lines going horizontally across the fingers.

From left: Theodas (bald elf, many scars, dark beard, golden interlocking armor, dull blue cape); Iairen (elf, medium brown skin, kinky brown hair with undercut and half up style, blue robes, holding a blue palantir); Mistiel (elf with dark brown skin, copper cape, long white box braids half up, golden armour); Eona (human, dark brown long hair with golden scales woven through, leathers and cape, holding a sword); Chicory (hobbit-elfish, lilac dress, pale skin, brown hair in loose waves, holding a wooden staff that crooks over and holds a glowing white stone); Aerlind (elf, dark hair, blue fine outfit, tanned skin, east asian features, holds an astrolabe in one hand). An alabaster gargoyle and a feminine figure dressed in black robes with their faces shadowed by hoods. The pair are within a gothic styled church, standing before an altar on a dais, preaching to spectators behind the POV. Candles cast plenty of light in the room despite the flames being purple, and all the decorations and the architecture is gothic in design. They look as though they are in the middle of performing a sermon in unison Illustration of Dawes 'Rook' Mercar (human, olive skin, short dark hair, blue outfit, green eyes) and Lace Harding (dwarven woman, freckled, pale skin, red hair, leather pants and white shirt). The pair are painted in a pink tint, and the background is barren and monochromatic. They are clutching each other and staring defiantly to the right of the composition. Illustration of a drow standing in front of a large white snake with wings. The drow has long white hair and dark green clothing with copper accents. He holds a dagger above his head with blue magic arcing between the blade and his hand. They are in the Underdark, with blue spores and mushrooms surrounding them.

The Character / Their Dice
portrait of a brown haired pale man done in the style of an old looking oil painting. it is contained on a thin oval frame a d lit by a single point above. it shows a man wringing out his hands on a dirty rag. he is dressed in a worn white shirt, daek waiscoat and a pale yellow necktie. his hair is falling loosely around his face in a messy ponytail and gis face bears marks of decay. his eyes are glazed over like eyes of a corpse and he has the look of tightly concealed anguish on his face. a photo showing a top-down view of a leather lined dice tray filed with an assortment of resin, metal and gemstone dice. All are in either shades of sage green or brass or silver apart from one all black die. most the numbers are inked in gold. there is a lot of dice that arent the standard shapes- crystal like resin ones to hollow metal ones which look like branches, to completely atypical silver woven ones.
