I give in.
In honour of another potential 'No Muzzle Dorian Week' here is the WIP shot.
It's not high quality being from a tiny image but you can see why Dorian is compelled to cover up - he's illegally pretty. Look at the puppy dog eyes, the slight moue, the concerned little eyebrows.
He is not understanding the computer and wants Aeron to do it for him.
Dorian's hair also looks softer and fluffier here, much closer to how I imagine it than the glamour shine accidentally given by highlighting it.
The dark grey was used as an underlay to pick out detail but if I'd chosen a pale peach or warmer dove/French grey I could have just done his whole hair like that.
Dorian belongs to @artwithoutblood and the 10:16 VN is now available on Steam.

Her parents named her Rue.
Rue, for regrets. She wonders why they would pick a mournful name for her; she wonders why her mother vacillates between icy cold and white hot rage. Why some days her mother takes her to get ice cream and have a girl's day, while on other days she berates and persecutes her.
It's easy to sit and wonder about these things as she sits, gazing out the stained glass window in The Solemnity of Mary. Did Mary ever swing wildly between jailer and savior? Did her mother?
She shifts her gaze to the pulpit, eyes falling upon the crucifix. She thinks she should feel something like serenity. Maybe sorrow. But all that fills her is a nauseating emptiness; a bitter sense of resentment. Why do those who find solace here believe while she cannot? Why does God not smile gently upon her when she so desperately needs respite? Her soul yearns for salvation, she is devout, dutiful, picture perfect.
She is a pretty, pretty liar.
Rue isn't sure when she stopped really believing. When she started singing her pretty lies to make churchgoers reward her with placid smiles and solitude. Their validation tasted like noxious rot, and yet she sought it regardless.
She likes solitude. She likes it when she is free to stare out into the distance at nothing, head full of static. She likes when it's just her and Patchouli. Patche doesn't demand anything from her; she only offers sisterly affection and a shoulder to lean on. A sunbeam breaking through a storm, not that the churchgoers associate with her. Patchouli is too wild for their tastes, which Rue thinks is another way of saying that she questions too much.
Rue likes the blackbirds that visit her. She's especially fond of the one that seems to always stare at her; he is her favorite. She talks to him, and he looks back and chirps, flirting his tail feathers in such a way that it almost feels like he's listening.
"My sweet songbird, do you like listening to me preach heresy to you? Do you think I'm at fault for not being able to believe?" she asks.
He never responds, but she doesn't need him to.
Perhaps it was because of him that she decides to ascend the ladder to gently shoo away the birds in the church. Maybe she was seeking something that the priest could not offer.
The fall was so sudden.
The fact that she ended up in Hell surprises her, she claims.
She is lying. Lovely little heretic, spewing false praise for a God she stopped believing in long ago.
When she makes her way to the Sixth Circle, for the first time in a very long time, she feels free. She knows she is not; she is all too aware that this demon of Heresy is her new jailer, but she finds that she is finally able to simply be honest in front of him. He challenges her, pries open her soul, and instead of revulsion or reprimand, he loves it. He has no expectations of devotion to anyone but him, a sentiment that he is clearly all too eager to return as he links his pinky finger with hers.
Rue gazes out the window of his archive of lies, a small smile playing on her lips as she enjoys the sound of him working.
She wonders if salvation was always meant to taste like ash.

[ID: A digital illustration of Orym and Dorian Storm from Critical Role. Orym is in the centre of the image against a blue-grey background, wearing his level 10 outfit. He is in a floating sitting position with his sending stone hanging from his hip, glowing. His expression is pained, with his eyes closed and his hands pressed over his mouth. Around him, bordering the image, are 16 tiles, all showing Dorian, and most show Orym with him. The four tiles at the top show small close ups on Dorian, the tiles down each side transition from real interactions Orym and Dorian had before Dorian left Bells Hells to fantasies of romantic interactions, with the bottom row of tiles all showing fantasised interactions. End description.]
I really miss Dorian and sometimes I think that's okay and sometimes I think it isn't

Sending Stone Messages
A list for me that I want to update as new ones come in! Which w/ Dorian back, hopefully not so much (But i think I found all of them so far)
Bonus Ep 6 - Orym gripping the sending stone while Dorian was away
Ep 16 Fearne - right after Dorian leaves
Ep 22 Orym — “We’re leaving Jrusar, heading southeast. Following the Treshi thread further. You’ve been missed. Hope you’re well.
Dorian — “Hey, sorry. Was sleeping. Thanks. Miss you guys too. Shit got crazy here too. Floating bar, I’ll tell you later.
Ep 31 Orym — “Hey friend. Missing you here. Could really use your special brand of optimism right now. Don’t know where you are. Hope you’re happy. Bye now.”
Dorian — “Hey! Floating bar got a little weird. Took awhile to land it. This side of the fam is keeping me busy. Miss you all too- Don’t die!”
Bonus Ep 33 - Sending stone falling from Orym's hand as he dies from Otohan
Ep 40 Orym — “Hey. Yios bound. Found them- their killers. Bigger than we thought. Read rough, Dorian. Eshteross is dead. Glad you’re not here, wish you were anyway.”
Ep 41 Dorian (via Robbie)— “Oh Orym~ My heart aches I cannot be there to help you. Find strength, stay steadfast. Sending you fairer winds. …. Is this thing on or-“
Ep 49 Orym — “Dorian. Update. People we’re chasing unleashing hell in a week. We’re headed there now. Odds not good. More tomorrow. Where are you?
Dorian — “Orym! With the rest of the Crown Keepers in Tal��Dorei. Opal’s getting a little dark. Little busy at the moment.. I don’t even know how to get to you.”
Ep 49 Orym -- "Hey buddy. I have a weird request from the other side of the ocean. Can you see the leylines? Is your night sky lit up? Ash says, "Hi." You'll know if you see it. Dorian -- "Yeah, it's, It's real colorful up here, too. I'd take it in and enjoy the display if things weren't so tense at the moment.. Tell Ashton I say hi."
Ep 49 Orym — “Listen, what’s going on over here is really bad. Get the group, get underground. Stay there until you hear from me again… Miss you”
Dorian — “I'll see what I can do. There’s plenty of places underground, I’m sure. It's a little hairy on this end too. You take care of yourself. Be careful”
Ep 59 Orym — “Dorian?? Can you hear me? what’s the sky look like where you are? Tell me you’re okay-“
Ep. 63 Orym — “Dorian. still alive, by the skin of our teeth. want to talk more. you know where Dariax is?’
Bonus I miss you - Ep. 79 "I really miss Dorian and sometimes I think that's okay and sometimes it isn't."
Ep 86 Orym — “Dorian, we’re alive. Been to the moon, going back. Find the tempest. If I don’t get the chance again, I’ve really missed you.”
Ep 92 Orym — "We're home. Can you hear me? I'm northeast of Bassuras. Can you get there? I'm... struggling. Sorry. Can you get here? Fuck, I miss you."
Ep 93 Dorian (Robbie back) - "I'll be there" Bonus 93 Fearne - "Wait, what are you doing here? How did you get here?" Dorian - "Well, I got your message." Ep 94 Orym — "Dorian. Dorian. Dorian, wake up. Dorian. Fearne and I outside the city, about 10 minutes. Need you all."

Practice piece of Dorian from 10:16 - @artwithoutblood
The pose is borrowed from Renoir - La Chevelure (Young Woman Braiding Her Hair).
I wanted to do better but the main goal of this was to practice figure drawing and line art. I can redo it later. I also worked on anatomy before the clothing, which helped the drape and shiny highlights on the silk PJs. So have a bonus shirtless Dorian under the cut.
Minors go away.

🕸 𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐓 𝐈𝐓, 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊 — 🇲🇾 🇦🇩🇩🇦🇲🇸 🇫🇦🇲🇮🇱🇾 🇷🇪🇦🇱🇮🇹🇾




❝the addams family line is unlike any others. we've become the face of the darker side of the world and the inherent magic behind it. the addams family curse effects all of its line, blood or not. there's no way to escape it. you will receive your curse sooner than later, I promise, my dear. its okay that you've taken longer than your siblings. it may just mean the world isn't ready for you yet.❞








EDMUND "EDDIE" ADDAMS — OLDEST SON OF MORTICIA AND GOMEZ ADDAMS he/they transmasc non-binary 🇺🇸 16 years queer
❝ he's the second oldest of the mysterious addams family, patrons of the arts and enthusiasts of the macabre. he's a poet and a tortured artist. you can often hear him muttering to himself, picking at the paint dried on his hands that is suspiciously scarlet. he rarely speaks, but when he does, you always strain to listen. there's just an aura about him thats even unlike his siblings. ❞
its very strange being the odd one out in an already odd family. but, that's my current situation.
being born into the addams family means you've been cursed. which is a blessing, really. because our curses are beautiful to us. my mother's ability to talk to plants, my father's acrobatics, my little sister's lie detecting senses, my older sister's glamour illusions... even my little brother's gift is starting to show, likely a sixth sense. these are all beautiful gifts.
yet, I seem to have been ignored by the family curse.
powerless, left behind. I rely on my creativity and words to leave my impact in the midst of my gifted siblings. it's unfair. my mother reassures me I'm not less of an addams because of this. still, it's hard.
but, nonetheless, my sister and I head off to nevermore academy for our final years of schooling. i just want to get it over with so I can pursue my passions of writing. however, I run straight into a mysterious boy with hair as pale as his skin who dresses in black and crimson, and he immediately seizes every bit of my soul.
suddenly, my poems turn softer, more...romantic? what is this? what has this boy done to me? have I been truly cursed, and not in the good way? this...dorian blackwell is playing with fire he doesn't understand. I have to break his curse on me. but, with what? what kind of magic do I have?
well, perhaps more than I think.

now playing.... paint it, black — the rolling stones 0:10 ──⚬──── 3:22 ⇆ ◃◃ ıı ▹▹ ↻

So ever since it was confirmed that the upcoming Daggerheart live show in Exandria would be involving Bell's Hells I've been looking through the current content to see how BH will be reskinned into the Daggerheart setting. Bearing in mind that Daggerheart, being still very new to the block and not having all the expansions and exceptions that Critical Role has utilised and tweaked in 5e, has its own set of strict-ish rules regarding character creation.
While I know I'm not the first to do this I did fall into a small theory, if you're willing to take the scenic route XD
So for starters we should look at what we have already. Like many others my curiosity of converting Bell's Hells from 5e to Daggerheart stemmed from BH having a litany of passive abilities that don't appear to gel with Daggerheart cleanly. So we start by covering what can be covered.
Firstly, we have to consider the levels. Since Daggerheart levels go up to 10 rather than 20 (if you want to read how I expected BH could shape up in a 5e Lv20 state you can read this), the safe bet is that the live show will put BH at Daggerheart's Level 8, the early Tier 4 for single classes, which would sit around Level 16 for 5e. This will probably be the zone which the live show will take place since Bell's Hells ended the campaign at Level 15 (gaining 2 temporary levels from the Matron for the Predathos fight), and it provides room for the max level variations of BH to be presented in a future one-shot. With that in mind this is how I would predict each character would set up with the information we know from Daggerheart already;
Orym: Orderborne Halfling, Level 8 (Tier 4) Call of the Brave Warrior
Dorian: Highborne Skykin, Level 8 (Tier 4) Troubadour Bard
Imogen: Hearthborne Human, Level 8 (Tier 4) Elemental Origin Sorcerer
Laudna: Freeborne Human, Level 6 (Tier 3) Hedge Witch & Level 2 (Tier 2) Pact of the Endless Warlock
Braius: Orderborne reskinned Firbolg, Level 5 (Tier 3) Divine Wielder Seraph & Level 3 (Tier 2) Wordsmith Bard
Fearne: Wildborne Faun, Level 6 (Tier 3) Warden of the Elements Druid & Level 2 (Tier 2) Nightwalker Rogue
Ashton: Slyborne Earthkin, Level 8 (Tier 4) Stalwart Guardian
Chetney: Warborne Gnome, Level 6 (Tier 3) Wayfinder Ranger & Level 2 (Tier 2) Executioner's Guild Assassin
At the time of initially writing this, we didn't have the new bundle of content added to the Void on June 24th, which did cut out a lot of my explaining and arguments for what would replace a Genasi and Gnome - I also didn't want to delve into stats and Domain cards because, well, you guys don't have all day.
In terms of Multiclassing, I've put all multiclassers into Tier 2 for their secondary class simply because it gives them more domain cards to use, even it's just a Level 1 or 2 card, but I can see Chet, Laudna, and Braius doing a singular dip into multiclass instead, given that the class doesn't offer as much as the 5e multiclass does and you're only limited to one Multiclass - which could make characters like FRIDA difficult to cross over.
The addition of newer communities led to me changing my choices for Laudna, Imogen, and Chetney (of whom I chose Underborne for Laudna and Chet and Loreborne for Imogen), while the new Witch class - following the still in beta Warlock class - seems to benefit Laudna more than the Sorcerer does, with her more focused around the spooky and communing parts of her 5e Shadow Sorcery subclass. I also swapped Chet's Syndicate Rogue for the other new class: Assassin. Although like Laudna it appears to be a departure from their 5e classes, Assassin seems to focus more on the offensive elements of 5e's Rogue rather than the evasive and persuasive that DH's Rogue leans more towards - which also suits Fearne more than Assassin does. While I am aware that there is a Faerie ancestry, I also felt that Fearne could easily stick as a Faun and just use her Fey upbringing as an Experience, that way her fey traits can be utilized when required such as charming or causing trickery or pickpocketing Ashton or whoever has one of those eggs she covets. Chet's build could work as a Warrior too but I felt Ranger was probably the more diverse option for him - plus Orym has it covered - to aid with his Lycanthrope abilities and tracking skills, but this too can be subject to change. Imogen I kept as Elemental Origin for the Lightning usage, while she could dip into a Moon Witch class it would depend on whether Imogen would want to commune with the only entity she's connected to - Predathos - in such a way.
It is curious that Daggerheart does not yet have a Blood Hunter equivalent, however, given how they invented the class for 5e - along with 5e-compliant Gunslinger, Oath of the Open Sea, Way of the Cobalt Soul, Sympathy Domain, and Path of Fundamental Chaos subclasses. But while the Void has added new content to the core Daggerheart ruleset to better fit the builds of the characters of Exandria, there are a few glaring gaps to take into account. While some things can probably worked around such as familiars for Fearne and Laudna (we are not going to have Bell's Hells without Mister or Pate after all) and Chet's werewolf/hybrid forms, it isn't as easy to neatly copy over all the abilities, boons, and core skillsets synonymous with Bell's Hells and their style of play. The key character for this is Ashton; Guardians don't have a Rage equivalent and Unstoppable is only for a limited time once per Long Rest, so it is not so easy to bake in Ashton's Chaos bursts and Dunamancy abilities into Daggerheart as it is, and work would need to be done to rewrite the rules of theirs and Fearne's Primordial Titan forms with the boons and cost reflecting similarly to how they did in the campaign - or scaled to how they would've scaled under 5e's rules. Significant additions could also need to be applied for Imogen's always-active telepathy and lingering Exaltant powers, not to mention Laudna's entrapping of her patron - which would affect the Favor mechanic of the Warlock class.
While Bell's Hells as characters will act the same way in a Daggerheart setting, the changes and transition from 5e to Daggerheart can affect the way they approach problems or adversaries and that risks making the characters feel off from how they usually are - for instance, since the loadout is only 5 cards, the casters are very limited in their spellcasting, and the likes of Imogen and Laudna will end up needing to have a magic weapon equipped that they didn't have before. So I wondered to myself, why choose Bell's Hells for this Daggerheart in Exandria one-shot? When you think about it, Vox Machina does seem better equipped to transition into the new ruleset - especially now that Gnomes are covered - alternatively, the Menagerie could easily exist in Exandria too, or they could've just done fresh characters from Exandria and fans would still show up and love it. So why Bell's Hells? And I think it's because there's still more yet to be released.
My theory is that either before or during this Daggerheart live show, Daggerheart's first expansion will be unveiled: an Exandria Expansion.
Whether it's announced for the Void or a physical copy all ready to go, I can see this expansion filling the gaps for most of what Bell's Hells are unable to cleanly cover right now; transformative states or curses external from class and/or ancestry, friends and familiar sheets to add as a companion or summon, Campaign Frames for different eras and regions of Exandria or adventures like they did in 5e with Call of the Netherdeep, special equipment such as the Vestiges or unique equipment to PCs like Percy's guns and other inventions, Beau's Bo (bow optional), Yasha's Greatswords, Veth's crossbows, Gambolcleft, Turmoil, and Ashton's Hammer (bow also optional). CR-based magic and technology such as Dunamancy (which could be worked into a domain available for all classes if done right or simply its own additional loadout), Residuum, and Brumestone could also be included, and maybe even adding more new classes - if I were to make a guess; Blood Hunter and Artificer equivalents, or a Gunslinger equivalent for Percy and the Colossus of the Drylands campaign frame. We may even get more ancestries introduced through CR like Uniya, Reilora, and Bormodo, perhaps even subdivisions of ancestries such as Half-Elves, Half-Orcs, and altered Humans, or more beastfolk equivalents for Minotaurs, Centaurs, Kobolds, Kenku, and Eisfuura/Aarakocra. We could even get CR-based artwork on existing cards just for additional flavour, and themed dice.
If this ends up being a reality, this will probably allow an easier understanding of how Bell's Hells will shape up and transition into Daggerheart. While some things may still need reskinning, reshuffling, or just pure homebrewing, I doubt Critical Role would choose Bell's Hells for this task if they didn't feel that they could blend into this new ruleset smoothly. A fluid transition to Daggerheart from 5e will also prove its flexibility for veteran or hesitant 5e players and help bring Critical Role fully into Daggerheart's style of play for potentially Campaign 4.
Maybe more information or elaboration will come later down the line, and maybe the group will even do a Session 0 to show the process of their characters' Daggerheart build and justify their changes and alterations, or to make all our predictions right or wrong, but for now it just remains a hypothetical albeit interesting idea.
