Description


 
   
Event 11: Possession , Fire 8292
(tickets to Reluir State please )

Death's Messenger
Of the assassination missions deployed across Iadlain, none were more ambitious and suicidal than the one assigned to Stitches: killing the Count of Iadlain. With personal connections to the city and a low profile, he slips close and strikes fast – but death has different ideas for them both. Stitches instead escapes, aided by an old Iadlish family who would betray their city for the Count’s death. They give him hurried instructions of a secret escape route through the forest and, taking it, Stitches finds himself pulled into a web of Wispwood’s magic. Before sunset, he is safely back at Reluir’s doorstep with a critical secret in his hands: a key for Reluir to Iadlain’s back door, and a message of death.



The shelves' broken contents littered the ground, their inherent magic spent violently across their surroundings. Stitches' glower burning through Esther faltered as a fresh jolt coursed through his side, keen reminders where shards had marked him earlier. But the sage was not without her own missteps. The arch of her frame favoured her right, her ragged sleeve blooming blacker.  

Close. He'd been so close.

Just 'close' never amounted to anything. Stitches tasted a spite he hadn't in years as he caught glimpses of pale tangled hair, obstructed by the elven shadow cast between their aisles. So fucking close... so why was it turning out this way?

"You're a fool, Rosebud." The rogue laughed at long last, derisive and bitter. Esther paused at his voice behind the rail, the first words they'd exchanged since the initial blows– but that was it. Her features tightened visibly from a distance. Brows furrowed, eyes flashing darker and igneous, her red lips parted in measured retort: another spell. Another lock unleashed.


 Ended up only drawing for role... tried drabbly context but it tells nothing, so:

Going after the Count of Iadlain with a guildmate's enchanted dagger , Stitches succeeded in offing little else but an illusory decoy. The next few minutes pitted him against an unexpected foe as well: Esther, the artificier whose shop he had frequented on much better terms and where he had just now targeted Cassair. What should have been short work grew unexpectedly difficult as the sage, surrounded by her tools and collections, had far more than just magic barriers at her disposal.  


tl;dr stitches is a twat, esther rules her turf, cass gets free entertainment. meanwhile in other event shenanigans,

Thanks guys for the event hcs/rps/teamwork  
Cassair - || Esther - || Stitches -

Stumbles back even later 
but by golly I feel the need to apologize since you always write such lovely comments, I just let them sit in my inbox until I forget I haven't even replied. But uh, I suppose I just reply the same things every time hjhfg JUST KNOW I SUPER DUPER appreciate em and you're very sweet. 

Oh though but if you were curious about the translucency, I basically drew the outline of the dagger (like if you were to do lineart, I guess) but in white! And then added further whites around the edges at certain parts, and just vary those spaces more or less depending on how the glass is shaped and all. On one side I added rim light (eg. the side closer to stitchy, and see the hood etc.) which is a secondary light source that could help to pull shapes out more too. Did any of that make sense-- ahaha it's quite simple to do in retrospect actually, and all the lighting is a bit made up so it's not very realistic but there we go lol.

Anyway I rambled but wheezes just forever apologetic about my constant delays for everything

Crawls back here  to reply extra late but THANK YOU IN RETURN-- haha going through all the skype back and forth and whatnot was definitely one of the highlights of the event for me, I had some good laughs from some of those.  
Also while I'm invading your inbox I just want to say I really appreciate the responses about the flight regiment details and all-- it certainly did give me a better idea and if I do get further questions I'll skedaddle back over to the uniform page.  Meanwhile though I didn't realize even more folks had asked similar questions too (we were talking about it after during the event) so my bad for the repetition and all ... but-- yes thank you for your patience all the time, numbers! scoots out now

Everything about this piece is just stunning! The mood, the colors, the composition...
And I noticed quite a few of your works are on this really high artistic level oAo
Do you have some tutorials, maybe, or thinking about making some?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

avodkabottle In reply to SensDornam [2016-11-18 03:27:41 +0000 UTC]

Sorry for the super late reply! But truthfully, how I go about painting is probably not the most efficient nor straight-forward... and many of the things I vaguely employ can probably be found in tutorials by better artists already.

However if there is anything specific that you have questions on (be it regarding my own work or general topics like composition or focal points and all) I can try and elaborate, or help look up tutorials I've seen around that I have on hand.
Thank you so much too, I really appreciate it.

This event is horrendous in that several characters have had friends or aquaintenances end up on the other side. Poor Stitches, he's a good assassin, but yeah... Esther is badass. The way you did the shards is fantastic! I like how that visual element works well. I've always been fond of the red/orange blue/purple combo too. XD It adds to the emotions and depth of the actual story. Good colors for this conflict.

avodkabottle In reply to Tenebrian [2016-11-18 03:18:05 +0000 UTC]

Late reply but LOL, nobody gets out unscathed from these sorts of things-- and thank you! I find those complementary colours both incredibly easy and yet terribly difficult to use sometimes in their contrasts... actually pulled the more orange-y ones from the colours of Esther's shop and just did whatever, since I was too lazy to draw a proper background ahaha. Actually fit quite well story-wise too.  

Anyway, been meaning to get back to you about some things on skype (whoops) so pardon the lateness...

.. Super late reply here and probably unnecessary since we already talked about it on skype, but just wanna say THANK YOU again anyway for all the headcanoning and your shared writing, it really got me fired up for the event and drawing overall. Also Esther is a hella fun character to draw what with how she's so shapely in every way. What a dang good silhouette I will never get over LOL. ///// 
The background I totally dragged the colours right from your shop picture and slapped them around too, haha

Also I just drew this right now in reply to another comment by emi about get-along shirts and I thought it'd be fair to share. i.gyazo.com/93c3de3cce63da08ec…
