Ancestors 🍵🪴
A watercolor and ink drawing depicting a brown-skinned and tattooed figure performing a ritual with teaware and four different spirits attending. The room is filled with plants, medicine chests, and the windows show it's raining outside.

The Long Way Home 🌕🧭
A digital ink and watercolor painting of a brown-skinned figure carrying a paper lantern and staff as they walk through a path in a stylized forest leading to a standing stone archway. The moon hangs above the canopy, and a decorative motif lines the top and bottom of the image.

Check out VESPER, protagonist of Vampire the Taskerade. A project manager with hundreds of years of experience, they're just trying to make it through the week at ABO Inc. Will they have what it takes to weather this week's sprint and a violent corporate merger? #gamedev #indie #VtT #vampires
A 16:9 slide, everything is black, grey, white or red. The background is a grey gradient that fades fom left to right. On the left side of the slide is a "picture" of VESPER YOUNG. A slender, androgynous figure with dark skin and black hair pulled back into a low bun. A stray lock of hair falls across their forehead. They wear large round glasses and look slightly annoyed, eyes narrowed. They wear a bright red button up shirt with sleeves rolled up, a black vest/waistcoat and black tie. In their right hand they hold a white mug, you can only see the top and it seems to read B Negative. The text box under them reads: Vesper Young. Our protagonist. A project manager at ABO Inc., they're just trying to make it to the weekend. Too bad vampiric corporate mergers and personal blood vendettas are making it difficult. The right side of the slide shows a five pointed radar chart. Vesper's stats are Hedonistic: 2, Angsty 6, Narcissistic, 5, Destructive 4 and Broody 10. Under the radar chart it reads "Vampire HANDB Score, with a blood splatter underneath it.

Extremely happy to see that 'Dreams on a Pillow' hit its funding goal. You can (and actually should) still support it.
