HOW TO DRAW

[dailyadventureprompts]

Villain: Dreava Bleek, Gallowood Sheriff

It's a gruesome business enforcing the law, especially when the laws are written by an aristocracy who wants their subjects submissive and terrified and it's your business to keep them that way.

There have always been people like Dreava Bleek, blunt instruments that enforce the social order so those at the top needn't bloody their hands. They do it for many reasons; coin, ambition, sadism, but in the case of this villain it's misplaced righteousness: Dreava has had a hatred burning in the pit where her heart should be since she was a child, a bone deep conviction that if people just knew their place and followed the rules that the world could be a place of pace. Nevermind the powerful that abuse the system for their own gain, nevermind the starving poor who break the law only to fill their bellies. In Dreava's word there are only good citizens and criminals, and criminals will hang.

Adventure Hooks:

Dreava earned both her reputation and her title in her campaign against the Gallerwood outlaws, a band of highwaymen who were famed for robbing everyone from wizards and duchesses and who Dreava left hanging from the trees along the edge of their forest. After her little stunt folks started calling the area "Gallowwood" and speaking of how her victims still haunt the roads looking for one last take. Some others mention a secret hideout that the sheriff never found, in which the thieves kept their most valued treasures.

The two easiest ways for the party to end up in Dreava's sights are to already be criminals, or to make themselves the enemy of some belligerent noble who can accuse them (accurately or not) of some transgression of the law

Backgorund: Dreava was young when darkness was wrought upon her soul, when a series of poor harvests and overstepping officials saw her little village rise with its neighbours in a revolt against their feudal overlord. She lost her home and her mother not in the uprising itself but in the violent pillage the lord's forces were allowed after its brutal suppression.

A flip of the coin and Dreava could have been a rebel fighting against authority, but in those grim days the alchemy of terror instilled in her an understanding of just what happens when the poor overstep the place allotted to them by their betters.

Since then her life has followed a pattern. Get hired on by some lord after having difficulty with bandits or other such rabblerousers. Make a show of brutal violence that seems to put an end to the problem for good. Continue to build her reputation until she either becomes her patron's bloody left hand, making their followers just as brutal and jackbooted as she is. End up entering into the service of another lord either on recommendation or after she's ousted for some violence that not even the benefice of the nobility can forgive.

Further Adventures:

Rather than a head on confrontation, Dreava will seek to bait the party into a trap, either by setting up an ambush or going after their known associates. Coerce, intimidate, brutalize, leashed in only by the very limit of what the law might allow. If she doesn't have proof of the party's guilt she'll drag them off to a dungeon to await a sham trial (from which they might be able to escape), but if she's been given the goahead by her superiors she'll gladly execute the heroes in the field, a grim situation which has it's own escape methods.

All her life the sheriff had sworn by the goddess Erathis, seeing herself as a champion of law and civilization. What a surprise for her then after the heroes sever her soul from her body to awake in the halls of the lord of all hells.  While the other gods turned their heads away in shame and disgust, Asmodeus watched with appreciation as Dreava bent her life to punishing sinners, and now offers her the chance to do so again, this time in his service. With a new master to serve and chip on her shoulder against the party Dreava will gladly agree, emerging from her damnation with a newly fiendish form. Consider having her emerge as a surprise villain several levels after the party thought her dead, and the head of a band of fiendish cultists.

oh and here's one of my mandalorians - Will'ow Lok

Will is not a great fighter, but she's pretty good in engineering, repairing and creating some useful equipment for others. They especially love to repair and to build droids

The twin suns of Mandalore burned fiercely in the sky, casting long shadows over the desolate landscape. Kha Kress, a striking figure in her custom-fitted Mandalorian armor, moved with silent purpose through the ancient ruins. Her armor, painted in a deep midnight blue with silver accents, shimmered under the harsh light. The T-visor of her helmet concealed her expression, but her eyes, keen and alert, scanned the surroundings for any signs of danger.

She had been drawn to this forsaken place by a cryptic message discovered in the archives of her clan. The message spoke of an ancient prophecy, one that foretold the future of the Mandalorian people. Kha had been skeptical at first, but the weight of the words and the urgency in the elder's voice convinced her to investigate. Now, standing amidst the crumbling stone structures, she felt a chill that had nothing to do with the temperature.

As she delved deeper into the ruins, Kha's thoughts drifted to the implications of the prophecy. Could it truly hold the key to the survival of her people? Mandalore had seen too much bloodshed, too many betrayals. If there was a chance, however small, to secure a better future, she had to take it.

Her steps echoed in the silence, and she paused, listening. The air was still, almost oppressive. Drawing her blaster, she advanced cautiously. The passage narrowed, leading to a massive door carved with intricate symbols. Kha's breath caught in her throat. This was it.

With a deep breath, she pushed the door open. The chamber beyond was vast, illuminated by eerie blue light emanating from crystals embedded in the walls. In the center of the room stood a pedestal, upon which rested an ancient holocron. Its faint hum resonated in the stillness.

Kha approached the pedestal, her heart pounding. As she reached out to touch the holocron, a sudden, low growl echoed through the chamber. She spun around, blaster ready, but saw nothing. The shadows seemed to shift and writhe, and she realized with a sinking feeling that she was not alone.

Never drew Cad Bane before, it was fun!

One Piece Roronoa Zoro

I drew Roronoa Zoro from One Piece for a friend I met in Genshin Impact! I kind of drew it to be a possible pfp avatar, but I’m not sure if my drawing of Zoro looks cool enough to be one >_< I’m still pretty new to the One Piece series, but I’m looking forward to watching more!

I had a revelation just two days before Christmas! I was feeling a bit uninspired this winter, but just after I delivered gifts to my friends while wearing my first-ever Christmas sweater, I had a thought: "sweaters!"

So, I present to you this year's gingerbread cookies edition! I chose my favorite Star Wars trio - Boba Fett, Mandalorian (Din Djarin), and Baby Yoda (Grogu). I'm quite pleased with the effect, but I plan to revisit this idea next year, so stay tuned! Especially since holiday-themed art seems to be the only kind of Star Wars art I create nowadays :/

Anyhow, happy holidays! I wish you all a lot of inspiration and creativity! <3
