THE OTHER MOTHER - Part 4

@safrona-shadowsun - Part 4. We're in the homestretch now.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

[handhourgalleries]

Recent art for my warlock Safrona I finished. I am particularly proud of the attention to detail I strived at, especially with her hands, where hands have always been one of my weaknesses.

I always try to do a personal annual big piece of my OC where I push myself out of my own comfort zone. Practicing these things as an artist is the only way to get better at them, after all.

IC blog for Safrona can be found at @safrona-shadowsun. It's an active tumblr I've had for nearly ten years now, I think. A lot of character history there!

Sinful/Sweet Sunday for Iseult: Most attractive people Iseult finds in her life? What in them does she find attractive?

"Oh Safrona!" She giggles. "I'll keep the names to myself, but I tend to like men with slight overweight and beards. I find it really pleasing."

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like? For Iseult.

She has good connections. Even if she gets on better with her father than her mother, her mother being rather strict and cold at times, while her father is much more friendly and sympathetic.

 What causes them to feel dread? 

27. What causes them to feel dread?

I'll answer for Azrael and Amadeo since there's no specified character! :>

Azrael - He absolutely dreads anything happening to his loved ones. Az has actively tried to avoid having any sort of connections to non-mob people due to his job. No luck so far as he's somehow rekindled the relationship with his brother and gotten himself a partner...

Amadeo - Deo is actually still in the closet! So he dreads people (especially his friends) finding out about it and treating him differently even though his friends would never mistreat him due to his sexuality...only the dumbassery he commits...

Teatime each for: Dolraan, Lorellai, and Ghorren: Do you count yourself to be a social butterfly, or do you close up? What is the hardest part of trying to be part of a conversation for you?

Dolraan: "I do alright in public events, though it gets draining when I'm doing it in an official capacity; part of being high ranked is that I get stuck going to the fancy parties with the various important peoples for both fundraising purposes and 'convincing to not be warmonger' purposes. Hardest part of being in a conversation these days is striking a balance between who I feel like, which is 'Dolraan, just some guy', and who I'm seen as, which is 'Sir Dolraan, Highlord of the Argent Crusade.'"

Lorellai: "I guess I'm alright in a small gathering, but at the big events like the ones meh parents host, I tend t' just find a corner and observe. It gets overwhelmin' quick, I dunnae know how mom does it. Hardest part of being in a conversation is when no one is talking about adventures or inventing; having to pretend to care about things like 'who's wearing the latest fashions' or keeping track of ancient clan feuds makes me want t' pull a fire alarm."

Ghorren: "Oh, I'm a pretty easy person to talk to, I've got plenty of stories from my mercenary work and from my family, so I can generally add to a conversation. A lot of the time though, I'm invited to parties to stand around looking imposing. I take it as a compliment though; I've worked hard on my imposing stand."

*Ghorren the spent the next five minutes showing off his favorite imposing stances*

"What's that? Oh, the hardest part of being in a conversation? Dealing with people who are clearly just trying to humor me. It riles up my temper and that's never fun when I'm not actually being paid to chop people up."

Face to Fangs

[ Continued from here. ]

A kiss of ringing crystal filled the air, temporarily banishing the eerie silence that often accompanied the Sorceress’ ominous presence.  No laughter or merriment would ensue; no celebration would follow; and surely no romantic candlelit dinner proceeded in the wake of its resonant song.  Memories of civility served her in death, allowing her to behave in a manner others found pleasing… daresay appealing?  Thus, the Sorceress was able to turn on the charm in one moment and commit heinous acts of murder in the next.  Decorum was fleeting whilst in the company of one such as herself and it was the real reason why he considered her to be dangerous. The glass was raised, and with a flick of her wrist the dark liquid swirled vigorously at her command.  A tilt of her chin allowed her to examine the wine’s properties in the pale moonlight, and she watched as the magical residue clung to the side of the crystal bowl. She had tasted them all, from a simple Thalassian white, to a finely aged Dalaran red.   The former Magistrix had a refined palate when it came to enjoying a good vintage.  Now, she preferred to sip on the rarer and harder to procure bottles of infused wines, such as Arcwine, Bloodwine, or a finely aged bottle of Redalav’s from the other side of the veil.

Seemingly satisfied with the wine’s appearance, Malakortana lowered the glass to her nose and inhaled deeply, indulging in its bouquet.  Evidently some things were still considered worthy of taking a breath, which she held briefly, before allowing it to slowly escape.  “Hypocrisy…?” she snorted derisively, “…hardly.  Evolution for the sake of acquiring power, as they say, is a decision that should be made without the removal of one’s free will.”  Otherwise it could hardly be considered ‘ascension’ at all.  She would know...

The Sorceress entertained a sip of the wine, exploring the memories and sensations it stirred within her, before swallowing.  It tasted precisely as she remembered, with a subtle infusion of bloodberries that softened the unmistakable aftertaste --a harsh, metallic twinge.  Well worth its price. Everything paled in comparison, however, to a bottle of Nightrose Darkwine.  Something she had not seen in a very… long… time.  Rumor had it the highly coveted, once-thought-to-be-forever-lost recipe was recently uncovered amidst the ancient Challiane Vineyards’ ruins.  Perhaps she would enlist someone to get into contact with Empyrean Imports on her behalf in the near future.  Surely their proprietor would know more. They found a new way to hurt you.

While his ‘educated guess’ was not wrong, it wasn’t entirely correct either.  “No,” she clarified, “I seek a means of impeding their ability to regain control.”  What good came from installing an impenetrable door if one did not possess the only key to lock it? @nixalegos ( @safrona-shadowsun for the mention <3)

Red. Mother Sin. Lady Shadowsun. Courier. All variances of title Safrona has earned over the years as the polite professional built a business of providing provisions to Azeroth and the realms beyond. Though most know her now as a charming personality behind a trained network of couriers that carry on her professional legacy, few have had more than a glimpse of the demonic menagerie she is also capable of deploying.

When the pretense of social grace is dropped, the truth of a Black Harvester is what is left, sometimes further motivated by the aim of her enigmatic "Perished". The felhunter is one of the Harvester's favored demons of the Hunt, a reflection of the void elf's unnatural hunger few would desire to be on the wrong end of.

I had the pleasure to paint this piece as a DA Subscriber reward for Dexie2750 , who opted to gift her reward to as a surprise to Handhour .  It was a fun piece and a first Warlock I had the pleasure to depict as a stained glass.

"I like how easy going you are. You seem as if you'd be very approachable."

"I might also have a small weakness for the guitar."

"I like to think I am approachable and have a good aura about me that is welcoming to others. And is that so? Any requests, I can play you anything you want."

THE OTHER MOTHER - Part 5 (Finale)

@safrona-shadowsun - And here we reach the conclusion. Thank you for the ask; I really appreciate it. It gave me the chance to make something super silly (and give the triplets their comeuppance for bad behaviour). Sorry it took me so long to answer it.

“🖊“ + Safrona!

Ahhh, my most written/played character at this time. :)

She's always the easiest for me to write, my favorite to draw for, easiest concept for me to translate into a different realm/world. She is a very versatile character on the surface for me to write with others, the professional veneer a flexible one in a reactionary sense. And at the same time when I'm drawn to below the surface for her, she remains compelling, a little labyrinth of unanswered questions for me to figure out or realize, to pull the threads together for in the understanding of who she has evolved to become.

Over the years, writing her in Warcraft, Safrona's characterization has has evolved; physically, mentally, emotionally. She is an unconventional story packed into a comely, unassuming package, and yet I've been letting her unconventional experiences leak out in how she speaks and presents herself. After years of writing her hiding behind her unassuming mask, I'm starting to let her be a little more sincere and forthcoming in personality. She's become someone that is fully accepting of who she has become (which I never really expected but Rp does a lot of things to a character), and that is both freeing for me as a writer, and a positive character growth I find satisfying for her.

I think I most want to evolve my style as an artist because I want to do my own characters justice and draw more grandiose themes for them, and that stands especially true for Safrona.

Thank you for letting me gush about Saf, @maxparkhurst :)

👻- does my muse believe in ghosts?

In a word: yes. Iseult and Maxwell believe in ghosts.

Ooc: { Dicenne is a golden retriever of a man sliding into sexy dad energy and I really enjoy that consistent wholesomeness you bring with him. }

"Flattery will get you many places."

((And thank you! I've always enjoyed playing a little bit of sugar with my very heavy spices and salts XD))
