[ID copied from alt text: A full body digital drawing of Bozhena (she/her), a PC from my D&D campaign played by @blacktarprophecy, set against a blocky gray and red background, with three halos of white surrounding her head. Bozhena is a young, thin, gray Drow with long white hair pulled up in a bun. She is wearing a long black dress with a patterned red and black underskirt and patterned red and black sleeves, as well as a patterned dark gray shawl and a dangly diamond shaped beaded earring. She is standing with her back to the viewer, looking over her shoulder with a cocky smile. In her left hand, which is extended with her wrist somewhat limp, she is holding her bladed polearm.

Be careful, it's not only her looks that can kill ❤️🖤❤️🖤

Hi Ersher anon from a bit ago I’ve come with another question, do you have any thoughts on artemy’s mother? What she was like etc.

oh my god you do well to come back i had forgor💀 to reply again. you get a two for one deal.

as far as artemy's mother: she's [here]. i need to redraw her one day but she's one of the three p2 mothers i've drawn (her, stamatina, and dankovskaya). clay type of woman. even if she was a capital/western transplant to the town (as most of the non-Kin people used to be before they started popping out kids. orphans mostly. who didn't start off as orphan due to the Being born thing) i think she really quickly adopted the whole mother earth customs even without fully believe in them because Makes More Sense than sky father being father of everything and woman being born of man's rib, due to the She Can See Kids Are Born From Her. her clay (pottery) work kinda existed in this continuun of Creating Stuff, so was gardening. i think she did a lot of the plates & bowls & cups & whatnot that can still be found in the burakh's lair, all these little cups for mixing tinctures... i think she might even have made a first alambic prototype with a clay body, something like this.

i think she was weakened quite a bit by ersher's birth, and the second birth killed her.

i will not lie to you i don't think much about ersher because i love this ambiguity of it. i love that we know nothing about him except his bonds (burakh's brother, likely burakh's parents' son due to the Family thing), we don't know what he died of, at what age, and if artemy ever knew him. "My older brother. He died young." (artemy's quote) does not even tell us if he even knew ersher. it is implied they must've have at the very least cohabitated for a while, but maybe artemy just knows him from being told about him, but holds him dear enough that he calls him "older brother".

considering kids around 15yo are ruling the town, forming gangs and discussion politically-motivated loveless alliance marriages, i take "young" to mean "under 14", even younger than that. to me, ersher died around 10. i like the number 10, because it is the one who keeps coming back in p1 (10 years since the last outbreak). equally for that numerology grind, i think he and artemy have 5 years difference, for 5 is the number that comes back in p2 (last outbreak). so ersher died at 10 when artemy was 5. i'm not sure what i want him to have died of (.......... very strange formulation but you know what i mean). on one hand, i could see the steppe swallowing him. just straight up doing that. the steppe refuses to eat the elder burakh (cannot be buried, beginning of P2) because he has unfinished business at the surface, swallows the eldest son, refuses to eat the youngest because he must stay on the surface, he is the tether at the surface. i need to check the geology of that part of the eurasian steppe but this ^ would be inspired by something that happens in a land i love, where basically it's a mountain of sometimes-hollow limestone, covered with soft ground, and sometimes a hiker can fall through that soft ground into a big hollow, and never be found, or be found at hunting season when the hunting dogs sniff out the corpse. scary stuff. my other thought is he died... of something "stupid". something that now is very preventable, even easy to help with, but wasn't for a long, long while. cold. flu. some kind of vitamin deficiency. poisoning. tetanus (not "stupid", very dramatic and scary, the vaccine is from 1939). actually i might go with the tetanus thing: it's a really nasty, scary disease (like the pest), but not transmissible. it can happen from getting a wound infected. i think he was handling his father's tool, maybe to learn to butcher; got a cut; got infected; died.

i think artemy was not shielded from seeing this, even if his mother really insisted he be. i think he doesn't remember much, if anything of it; seeing illness does not trigger memory of his brother, but he has this. apple seed of grief inside of him. lodged somewhere all bitter and dark. i think it made him be a little morose as a person, which he still is, but it has been so long it has become his "baseline". i think artemy has very, very little memories of his brother; basically his brain is blank from 5yo and back, most of his core memories come from 7 & up, where he truly bonded with the friends he still has (still tries to keep). i think ersher's death devastated his mom, who was already weakened from the birth, and grief + weakness during the second birth killed her. now i could get into how isidor has made plenty of selfish choices which are are not yes no if you see it that was if you don't see it that way Selfish and he tries to justify and he doesn't and he knows and he doesn't... and what it could have meant for him to try to have a second kid when his wife was like that... because she's not the virgin mary that thang did not pop up like that... there is stuff to say there isn't. she wanted artemy too she did. she just didn't make it to see him.

ersher in my mind didn't get to like. be much of a person due to the Dead At 10 thing, but he was more jolly that artemy has ever been (also i think bc the second son was raised in more morose of an atmosphere, with a dad having already lost a son & his wife). he was a brunette ☝ in my mind mom's blonde & isidor was brown-haired (even if Bald), artemy got mom's blonde & ersher had dad's brown. i think he had his hair longer, And i think stakh, who knew him just a bit longer because barely older than artemy, because he has his whole. gestures. cain and abel if they (tried to) slayed (each other)/wants to be isidor's son sooo bad started growing out his brown hair for that. his problems and issues notice how i keep making it about him. stakh always at the scene of the crime.

basically yeah 👍 thank you for enjoy his mom i miss her so bad

Bozhena got rejected when asking Hamon Berger for a date.

Rohesia was still sad because of the miscarriage, despite all the fun she had at the festival.

Back at home, they opened the shop again, so the teens could gain some business experience.

Diot set the stove on fire. Rohesia managed to extinguish it and somehow gained enthusiasm in cooking from the experience.

well, that's me in the corner, that's me after seeing the latest KCD2 stream, which featured Henry's level reset. my heart was hanging from a thread, oooof. and of course i was quick to get a terrible, terrible idea about making a book of hours styled set of illos based on the intro. tbh, i was expecting this to take longer, but it seems i've gathered enough hare assets to build a small country at this point. i guess i'll start with page 2 later today (if i don't get tangled with DQ3 during the afternoon). sketch on iBis paint, all the rest on Illustrator.

[ID copied from alt text: A digital drawing of Cham (he/they) and Bozhena (she/her), PCs from my D&D campaign, set against a dark two toned purple background. The pair are on the ground, with Bozhena holding herself above Cham, who is laying on his back. Cham is a young, thin, pale Changeling with long dark red hair pulled up in a ponytail. He is wearing a gray long sleeved shirt and light brown pants. He is laid out on the ground, staring up at Bozhena with an intense look on his face. Bozhena is a young, broad, gray-purple Drow with long white hair pulled up in a bun. She is wearing a long red dress with ruffled half sleeves, and a thick, dark gray belt around her waist. She is holding herself up above Cham, looking down at him and angrily yelling "If you go in there, we are not friends anymore!" with "not" in larger letters and underlined for emphasis.

Sometimes your friend tries to make a deal with a hag, so ya just gotta tackle 'em and deliver a heartbreaking line to try and get them to stop 😭😭

If mama Burakh and mama Dankovskya met how would they get along this has been plaguing my mind for so long and the ask you got reminded me

the only way they'd meet (if. well. if bozhena was alive #ripqueen) is following their sons meeting & hanging out so. yeva is pretty sociable & good cook & bozhena pretty shy and not that great at not fucking up food so i think By Default yeva would try to invite her for a tea or a snack please oh pleeeease mrs burakh have some honey cakes. i think at first yeva would get along with her, and enjoy the company, but bozhena would be a little bit more reserved / shoy... but they'd warm up to each other quickly. they're both Deeply Momma of Son (in the same way mostly dankovsky is a Momma's Boy. ykwim? Dankovsky is an only child & i think in this hypothetical situation Burakh is too, like his dead brother Ersher is still dead) so they bond over how nice their scrunkly is. they kinda throw their son's qualities to the other almost as like. test to get more information on the other's kid to see if they're a find match for their own.

also i think Bozhena laaahves to dance & Yeva loves to play her cello + can't dance because of her bad legs so if left to their own devices they'll just put up a party together. maybe they'd need to be a little pompette but i know the dankovsky household as some armenian brandy in the cupboards.

Rohesia had a miscarriage at the same time Bozhena grew up.

To cheer her up, they went to the market for the Mid-Spring-Festival. Diot had her first kiss.
