The End?

And thus this adventure comes to an end, it was fun if far from perfect, but it was fun to try. Perhaps I will try it again in the future and if I would like to do so, leave me some feedback in this post?  As for the tale, it seems out wastelander got some cultists to punch and once she is done with them...she perhaps can get a good moment to sit down, rest and go off to get stronger...and bigger...

The Fight (Pt. 2??)

As we left off we had our Wastelander ready to face the giant beast...but of course cutting it down to size was needed...thus she launched her halbeard into the glowing cracks of the great plant...and the result was to be expected....

With a huge blast of light and quite a bit of force, the magics were pouring from the wound of the plant, badly mangling it...And leading the Wasterlander (and her elder god spawn), sapping of it..for her own gains, as she is now ready to finish the thing off....

With this, theb east it down and she is ready for her prize....but...will she get away with it so easily?  As I worked I come with a bit of question, shall we end it here...or was this a bit too easy for her? After all there were cultists of the weird tree thing around...surely some of them are about?  For vote on last picture, I would like to ask which you would prefer?: A) Wastelander taking her rest after such big game been taken down, perhaps sitting down somewhere in the old tree stump B) Her facing off the remains of the cultists, can’t let this brawl end so quickly? Vote till 24th of July let’s see how this ends...

The last weeks result

It seems option B won last week, the Giant will be struck in the glowing veins of it...and see what will happen. As this is what I planned to be last drawings of the set, I will try to make them a bit nicer and try to take my time to make at least one or two little renderings for it.  Thus it might take me a few days to do as heatwave hit my area recently and it might go away tomorrow and make drawing easier.

Fight!

Last weeks vote: Let the weird people do what they been doing, perhaps they are cultists and will summon something.... And it seems, Wastelander was not incorrect

Few of the people would start pouring weird water onto the old weathered blackened wooden husks...And as they did so, the old husk seem to be cracking, with amber glow emerging from the cracks! Then, the ground shook...This felt promising:

Soon wooden hust exploded, root like tendrils emerging from it's insides as the yellow glow continued to crack the old wooden form, the form was giant, serpantine almost and would seem to be quite powerful as well as it easily swept away the robed cultists...This was the fight Wastelander was after! She shouted her challange and prepared to charge! Question now comes, how will she go about this fight?: A) Go for the head, spear, axe or club, crush the head, always good way to deal with anyone! B) Hit the glowing spots, there is magic there, she can smell it, and when you hit magic...sometimes it explodes! C) Disarm the thing - It's got limbs, don't want to get stabbed by them, better go and chop them off! The Vote will end on next sunday - 16th of July. Leave your votes either in comments or via reblog!

Stealing in!

It seems by close margin the option to sneak into the old tree had won... (however, talk first rather then fight will be kept in mind :P) And thus we return to the tale with...

Our wastelander managed to silently get closer to the giant tree, with some work and difficulty she did manage to climb atop the boarded up stone gate, and look into the insides of the husk of the ancient titan

From the slightly higher vantage point, our lady would observe an interesting scene - A large group of robbed people, surrounding a stone circle in the heart of what used to be the core of the ancient tree, with a weird stone chunk in the center, with pale glowing markings carved into it and an overgrown suit of armor with bones and hornes poking out of it standing in the center, with withered husks of man shaped trees surrounding the stones. She would take the chance of that darkness of the outskirts to land down into the area, before quickly grabbing one of the stray people in robes and with robes over her...large form, she would try and get closer to the center... And thus comes this times question of choice, what will she do?: A) That suit of armor looks interesting, what would happen if she were to smash it with a club? Or perhaps steal bits of it to wear for herself? B) While they don't look all too scary, there are a lot of people here...they might make for an interesting brawl! C) Wait and see perhaps these guys are cultists of some sort and will be summoning something...and then she can fight that! This time we will be seeing on Sunday which option won, like always you can vote bellow or though reposts :P Edit: Voting is over, it seems Wastelander is waiting for the ritual to be over!

The Approach on the Old Tree

Wastelander stand on the outskirts of the giant tree, or more precisely, the old darkened remains of it, by now turned to almost coal from the hot winds and weather of the region and due to it's age! She can see lights at it's core, purple flashes and shining lights. Armed with a poleaxe and a greatclub, she got few ways of approach, which one will it be? A) Sneak in closer, while she is large woman, she can still try to take a slow and silent approach B) Run in there, swinging at first thing she sees... C) Approach with caution, however openly, trying to greet the residents of the place! So which approach will she take?

Voting till 6th of July this time, as I got a day off, thus I can make a nice picture to end the week with :)

The Results of Second Week:

The Wastelanders Arms and Path!

It seems the wastelander is taking a path at random, and thus she is turning her eyes on the giant burned out husk of the ancient tree, to see what treasure it's heart holds.

And as it was a tie for her weapons, she will be taking two weapons it seems...Thus she departs with a great big club and polearm

The proper post will be up once I got the art of the lady herself ready to enter the great old stump....

[maiesta-quest]

And it seems wastelander had won, thus this time we are following the story of this red lass across the world to find...glory and power! We start said journey a top a great big mountain, a long dormant volcano, without any real name or title, from there our adventurer whom we will deem Wastelander, has a great view of the surroundings, and thus this is where she will have to decide on her path, as to find beasts and critters to fight and beat she may visit one of the few places out here in the Badlands...

The Boiling fields - even from a distance it's not hard to see the steam and smoke coming from the black giant lakes of tar and other things, as well as see just faintest movement of the things that hunt and lurk those places.... The Bonefield - Place where great giants come to die, at the end of their days they enter the great plains filled with bones, there you will find scavengers of extraordinary size...and perhaps even one of the ancient titanic beasts...

The Old Tree - Blackened and ancient stump, size of a mountain with roots to match, once there was a great tree there, now only the stump is left, with rites and altars now covering it's inner heart and those whom seek power and glory of the old gods residing there...

But before reaching the bottom and taking off, there is one last item of interest, the old stone of skull, some long forgotten lumb of stone, with a crude carving of a face in it. Many a warrior left offerings or were slain near this stone, and now their old weapons litter it's surroundings....But of course these items belong to the strong and brave...and our Wastelander will need a weapon... Thus comes the choice, same as before leave a comment bellow or even repost it with your own choice (For it would count as two votes), where shall the Wastelander go and will she be armed for this journey and if so, what will she pick up? Voting for the choice will be finished same as before, on Sunday, July 2nd.

P.S. Don't forget she needs a direction to go in too!

Good day, and Welcome This here is a little artistic creation I wanted to try one day, a short series inspired by somewhat notable internet "quests", table top rpgs and old choose your own adventures books, thus let me explain it: Before you lie pictures of two ladies, inspired by somewhat amusing table top RPG called Maiesta RPG, where people "pregnant" with spirits go out into the world to have their own adventures. In spirit of it, here we have two characters of similar nature, one "carrying" a forest spirit all of the sudden, another weird carrier to some otherworldly shard of a outsider. And what happens with them? Well, you will help to decide, as this will be series of little pictures and stories done by me, however what occurs in them will be decided by the readers (A.K.A. You!), with one picture with a little story once a week, with first run keeping it short and trying to finish it in about 6-8 weeks, or about two months. Thus, we begin with the question of whom's story will we follow? The options are as follows: The Guard - A city watch lady, whom was out on patrol, finding herself with the predicament of burden (and power) of a forest spirit, trying to deal with what rumour says is a rather bothersome group of petty nobles, all gathered together and preying on unguarded travellers... or The Wastelander - A rather curous critter living in the rather harsh and dangerous Badlands, eager to go out there and fight creatures that reside there, as she feels with each victory both she and her power would grow in more ways then one... So who's story will it be that we follow? (Day on which character will be picked will be June 25th) P.S./Edit, if you desire, you can Repost with your choice, to count as two votes
