Praise be to the grill!!!

Happy Calibration @paint-lady! I was very excited by your open brief for the God of the Grill. They sound fantastic and I very much got carried away with creating this. If you’re interested in the process and some WIP images, continue reading below the cut. And as always - thank you @shiftingpath for hosting the Exalted Secret Santa art exchange.

So I actually did quite a lot of research to get here. I started off looking for deities I could draw inspiration from. I had Hestia in my brain, as Goddess of the hearth, but I didn’t really want to go the Greek pantheon way this time. I ended up finding Kojin, a Japanese God of the hearth and deity of the cooking range. The sentiment of taking something dangerous like fire, and using it for the good of humanity, felt like such a strong vibe and I wanted to apply it to the God of the Grill. So Kojin was my starting point.

Kojin has 8 heads and 4-6 arms, which looks awesome, but also was something I didn’t want to just copy without there being any meaning behind it. I figured since the God of the Grill isn’t a powerful God, he could stick with 2 arms. As for the number of heads, I liked the idea of 5 - one for each direction of Creation. I reasoned that 4 of those heads could be a more human-look for the God, each reminiscent of one of the 4 threshold directions (and it also leaves the door open for him to have many other faces!). The 5th look I wanted to be his God form, and I wanted to make sure that it used fire in some way.

I tried a few different things with the heads, but I wasn’t liking anything. I ended up putting the other heads on his body as faces, like little gemstones instead of fancy jewelry. This felt like something which fit my style more and less like an existing deity squeezed into this idea. It was during this time as well I wanted to dress the God of the Grill in a South of Creation style, and I looked into the big glam energies of Bollywood for more style inspiration.

Finally, I wanted to add a few less human-like elements as paint-lady mentioned in the journal post that the God should reflect their charge. So details like the coal on the chest and the hair billowing like smoke came in. Being a foodie, I imagined this God would be on the plus side body wise, so I also took a bit of a swerve back into Japanese references and looked at some sumo wrestlers to try and get the bod type I was searching for in a reference.

Now that I’d actually got the character design down - it was time to actually do the piece! I settled on a simple floating pose because I live for those when it comes to beings with essence, and surrounded the God deliciousness.

Here's the WIP images of the final piece:

And that's everything! I hope you like what I did with this character!!

Twas the Week Before the Holidays...

Happy Holidays yall! I got swept up in them, you know how it is! But I got this one done!

Monster: The Mouse King

A creature who differs from story to story, whose form shifts and changes from belief. One moment he could be just a mouse standing upright with a sword, the next 7 headed and large. Vicious as he is cunning, the Mouse King wishes to dominate all under his tyrannical rule. Bargaining with him is futile, as his greed and gluttony will let him take and take but nothing will ever be enough.

When the Mouse King is in the area, all the mice in the village/town/city are compelled to rush to his side, especially when he is threatened.

Type: Queen (Motivation: to possess and control)

Powers:

Commanding & Dominating Presence

Powerful, potent magics (such as transformation magics)

Agile and dexterous

Ever-changing form

Quick Healing/Regeneration

Can easily hide in small spaces

Weakness: The Mouse King is ever hunted by the Prince, an individual who claims to be the ruler of some distant, hidden land who was turned into a nutcracker by the King so that he may usurp them. The Prince is an oddly colored nutcracker wielding a sword that is extremely sharp, and will allways appear in the village/town/city the Mouse King is currently in. Either returning the prince to their original form (Keeper’s choice!) or making it so the nutcracker can move about will cause the Mouse King to flee the area.

It’s not the Prince themselves that the Mouse King fears, it’s the blade they carry. Only the sword is sharp enough to cut through its multiple forms, leaving a lingering wound no matter how much he tries to regenerate. The Prince will not give up the blade so easily, as they believe they themselves are the ones that can kill the King. The hunters, wishing to deal with the Mouse King once and for all, will have to convince the Prince to lend the blade to them.

Finally, the last option to deal with the Mouse King is to turn him into a nutcracker. It will be a Big Magic spell that requires 5-10 nutcrackers, lumber, and the trapping spell to be cast at midnight on Christmas Day. Once the Mouse King is turned into a nutcracker, the hunters can do whatever they want with him.

Attacks:

Sharp blade (2 harm close)

Nutcracker-ization (1 harm close far transformative)

Mousey-Bite (1-4 [depending on how many heads] harm intimate ignore armor)

Harm: 10 Harm

Custom Moves:

Nutcracker-ization: The Mouse King can and will turn anyone who stands in his way into a nutcracker. Hunters who annoy him or get in his way will have to resist not being turned into one.

On a 10+, they fully resist the spell.

On a mix, they turn into a nutcracker but they can still move around and do moves- they gain -1 ongoing until they return to their original form.

On a miss, they turn into a full blown nutcracker- all they can do is talk and move their arms/eyes. They are unable to participate until they are freed from this curse, but they can crack nuts or anything with their wooden jaw.

For both mixed and missed rolls, they gain this move: Wooden Bite (1 harm intimate crushing).

To cure nutcracker-ization the others must Use Magic, but it takes 30 minutes to break it. Another way is killing the Mouse King.

Minion: Mousey Spies

Type: Scout (motive- to stalk, watch, and report)

Powers:

Can easily hide in small spaces

Attacks: Strong bite (1 harm intimate)

Harm: 3 harm

Minion: Mousey Assassin

Type: Assassin (motive- to kill the hunters)

Powers:

Can easily hide in small spaces

Cunning

Attacks:

Strong bite (1 harm intimate)

Sharp Dager (2 harm hand)

Harm: 3 harm

Minion: Mice Swarm

Type: Guardian (motive- to bar the way or protect something)

Powers:

Can easily hide in small spaces

Attacks: Strong bites (3 harm intimate)

Harm: 6 harm (the less harm it has the less mice there is)
