Two humans in bisexual lighting. I am on the left, wearing sunglasses indoors and a black and white Superman logo t-shirt. On the right is a person wearing goth makeup with a very large smile.

Digital sketch of Sachiko Moriyama (they/she), played by N. They are of Eastern Asian descent, with short bleached hair, and they wear a flannel over a bloodied white tank and cargo pants (which are definitely full of knives and improv survival gear). She stands with a hand on her hip and a katana-like sword propped on her shoulder.

S's style is kickass and such a treat, there's just nothing else quite like it and it's got such a darkly whimsical aesthetic. Real good stuff.

19. Self-inserts

So Carmen started as an intentional joke self-inserts at the suggestion of the storyteller, bc I showed up to their VtM-inspired burlesque production looking like a cast member. She spiralled into her own thing pretty fast and I just use her as my namesake nowadays as a nod.
Original artwork for Carmen, based on artist Carmine, who had short red hair at the time and dressed distinctly like a film noir character. She has a black snake, representative of Carmine's pet rainbow boa, Lucille. Portrait of Carmen from last year Updated modern Carmen art from mid-2024 depicting her latest in-game iteration art in modern day Berlin Baby Carmine in 2017 or 2018. She has short red hair, wears all black, and holds a rainbow boa up beside her shoulder.

Digital layout sketch of two women dancing around each other while making eye contact. The shorter woman on the left wears a wide brimmed hat and a long dress which dissipates into wisps at the bottom, and her arms are tinted with a darker gradient down to her fingertips. The taller woman on the right has several pairs of horns and holds her bloodied hands delicates beside her face. They both have blood on their mouths. A vaguely art nouveau style motif frames them both.

16. There was never a first kiss mentioned, but there was a very funny "holding hands as they sailed into the moonset" moment with Louisa after they got banhammered and escaped the city, which spiralled into a bunch of crack ship jokes that eventually became canon.

OCs, Victoria Sweet and Louisa de la Vega (latter belongs to @dapperdinobot) Cropped digital sketch of two women in early 1950s clothing. The woman on left wears a white dress with a red bow, a red rose with a stylized halo of golden thorns in her dark hair, and holds a bouquet of red roses as she flashes a radiant grin over her shoulder. The second woman wears a black button-down tucked into black pants and a black hat, and leans an arm on the first woman's shoulder as she looks up at her affectionately.

#CarmineArt #scribbles #SaintSunday
OCs, Lucita and Zoya Digital sketch with rough digital watercolor in greyscale and pink. Image depicts two women standing beneath a black umbrella against a grey, rainy background. Lucita, the Latina woman holding the umbrella, wears a long black coat over a suit and leans on a silver-handled cane. She stands poised with her chin and eyebrows lifted. Zoya, the blonde woman, is very pale and wears a baby pink coat ruffed in white fur and round, rose tinted sunglasses. She huddles close to Lucita as she looks out into the distance, one hand on her companion's arm and the other laid loosely but intimately around her shoulders.

Lucita is a monster hunter from my supernatural horror mystery. She's very tired of Seeing Too Much while cleaning up the nightmare fuel that bubbles to the surface, and honestly asked for none of this.

She has a sweet face and a single pink rose dangles from her fingertips. OC, Victoria Sweet, Prague 1938-1939 Digital artwork in gold, pink, and red of a monstrous woman with horns, claws, and partially skeletal bat-like wings kneeling in a pinup pose in a pool of blood. She holds one hand delicately beside her mouth and leans on a human skull with the other while grinning mischievously at the viewer. A tail comprised of vertebrae and ending in fleshy, toothy petals coils around her. Behind her is a simple golden frame and ring of gold which frame her head like a halo.
