Smoke Detector

@ghouljams has been writing a lot of superb blurbs about Fae!Price from their Fae Cod Au, and by god am I loving it. I love the way that Price's magic manifests as smoke both as a conscious action and as an unconscious one as he gently and covertly influences the world and people around him.

On that thought, all I could think of is Mal meeting him for the first time and being like bruh, you're getting your magic everywhere tf. And as soon as they get home they make themselves a magically imbued mask to keep the smoke at bay. This mask is very specific and is designed solely to combat volatile/aerosolized magic, so it's not like this can double up as a covid or other illness mask. It only does the bare minimum in that regard in the sense that any barrier is better than none, but it's not exactly designed to filter out corporeal particulates like viruses or wildfire smoke.

I've drawn Mal on here a couple times already, and I will be the first to admit that I am at the very start of my artistic journey. I have some technical drawing under my belt (think building schematics) but no experience with organic shapes. Since I wanted to draw this mask, I took this opportunity to study 3D shapes of the face and shadows, by tracing and referencing a photo by @ redsreferences on instagram! It was interesting seeing how the suggestion of shadows could trick your brain into perceiving flat colors as having form and dimension!! I had a lot of fun with this, and I look forward to practicing more and gaining confidence so that I don't feel the need to trace.

So anyway, here's my drawing! With and without Price's smoke.

PORTAL

[oldschoolfrp]

Belthar is a land of high mountains and green valleys perched atop a planet shard. Rivers reaching the rim fall into the void miles below, forming clouds that rise back up above the land. A secret cavern holds the Belthan war fleet, 30 galleys pulled by blue dragons. (Valerie Valusek, D&D module M1: Into the Maelstrom, TSR, 1985)

Cause He's Fuck Ugly

When Mal was referenced in the most recent 1fae1 blurb where Witch gets scared shitless by Konig and notices he was using an obscura made my Mal all I could think of was adapting that one scene from Hot Fuzz

I wanted to give Keane a new portrait since he gets to adventure with Draper for the Ironroot Maelstrom mini campaign ^.^ (And I get to run him in combat) The pink camellia he's wearing is a gift from their daughter, Harper!

Cyberpunk 2077 Gangs (The Sims 4): Maelstrom inspired MORE SIMS 4 CYBERPUNK STUFF

REFERENCE IMAGES

Inspired by Maelstrom but obviously I was limited. I didn't copy any particular character or NPC just the overall "creepy-cyborg-terminator-madmax" vibe. I used less baldness, less Hitler hair-dos, etc made them a bit more simple and stylised to my liking. I think they look a bit more anime lol. I tried to compensate with more piercings, spikes, scars, supernatural veiny skins and stuff for my lack of intense cyborg cyberware they have. I know the spider lady is a bit weird but I liked the spider legs in their graffiti logo and tried to include it imagining it's some sort of cyberware body mod. I found this cool Sims 3 CC but no ts4 conversion unfortunately. So just did my best, the light emitting contacts really helped. Overall I like how they turned out. Might make them creepy vampires haha or maybe make more "scary" looking ones later ╰(*°▽°*)╯This Totentanz build by Hamsterbellbelle is where I'm making them live (I'll probably build something in the basement) along with Littlemssam's live in business mod (so that it functions as a club even though it's residential)

Some useful CAS CC for these looks: Cyborg Head ☢ Vallhallen Helmet conversion ☢ Vallhallen oculus third eye ☢ More eyes by Zaneida ☢ Spider mouth by natalia auditore ☢ Anakin arm by natalia ☢ cyberware by natalia auditore ☢ more cybeware by NA ☢ even more cyberware by NA ☢ Cyber decal eyeshadow ☢ Tecno glasses ☢ SSTS gauntlets ☢ Arachnophobia face eyes by Pyxis ☢ Ashwwa steampunk top ☢ Ashwwa scifi earrings ☢ Ashwwa safety pin earring ☢ Cyborg facepaint ☢ Pralinesims Spikey mask ☢ Steampunk Goggles ☢ Robo legs and Robo arms tattoos ☢ Standalone robotic arm accessory ☢ Body veins skin details ☢ Contacts with light ☢ Gas mask ☢ Dark side mask ☢ Mantis Blades ☢ Cyber blackout tattoos

If there's something you like that wasn't listed here let me know and I'll try to find it. The list of CC is very long so i included the most prominent and useful things that caught my attention; I also use plenty of MagicBot CC (piercings, skins, etc) and lots of clothes by Belloallure, Darte77 and @the-crypt-o-club and probably tons of other cc creators I can't recall now
