Day 4 of Strahdtober - Bride

[ilariel]

"As the world went up I remade us both. I hid me in you… I hid you in me. And when we were together… once the shaman had claimed the sun … I became God."

Forever thinking about The Abbot doting on Vasilka.

Day 12 - Madness Okay, maybe I went a little stereotypical But I don't need to be original I couldn't help it (Prop list is from @crowholtz )

strahdtober day 3: necromance

pour one out for this piece which i… cleared the lineart for while working on the surgical tools and then did too many actions before realizing my mistake to go back to a state with the lineart :,( ill probably start re-utilizing the “transfer to layer below after finishing a portion of lineart” workflow i used on the ilya comic after this colossal fuckup lol

the piece would have been fully finished after i finished lining the surgical tools and threw on some texture. but i dont want to not post it… enjoy vasilka (with the sketch on instead of the gorgeous lineart)

Here is the abbot with Vasilka. I have a restraining order against the abbot. Me and the homies all hate him. If I ever catch him on the streets, it's on sight.

[ghost-from-retro]

Even thou I rarely post about our games, I'm in NEED to tell, that we had the wedding and boss fight in two games. AND my PC Marik made the costumes for everyone %)

SOME SPOILERS AHEAD

Our Ireena was kept safe in Krezk church (but before that she was heavily injured and now her legs.... are spider legs... interesting a confluence of circumstances led to this by our actions...) and the Abbot let us know about his meaty bride-golems... Anyway, so, Vasilka took the main-bride place. Hooray, I guess??? Strahd notified, that our circus team satisfied him by bringing a lady to the castle and he can start the ceremony. Then we kinda blew up his heart, and part of Ravenloft......... accidently killed 3/4 consorts by casting Tsunami....... WHAT A NIGHT AND WE WERE IN BEST SUITS EVER HUH

Vasilka, The Abbot’s young companion. (Spoiler in tags). @procreateapp brushes by @maxulichney

Vasilkaaaaa

[saladcannibal]

Today we're thinking about how they were both created with intention and directed toward a specific purpose. How neither of them were created with free will in mind, and yet are being made to exercise it. Neither are human, but they're interacted with as if they are. I could go on.

Also both uncommonly beautiful ✌️

more Curse of Strahd ideas you can steal {for dms}

(again spoiler warning for the campaign also sorry I haven't given out more ideas had a bit of creative block for like...a long time also dear god this is really long so brace yourself)

Gadof Blinksy is an artificer (maybe multiclassed?) that uses his magic skills to help make toys and also has enchantments on some to help protect the children of the country well as make his toys more fantastical for the children. {I kinda fixated for a while on this silly man and wrote way too much stuff about him. I imagine he knows spells like Mending for fixing porcelain dolls and like heat metal for making toys out of well metal. As for the protective spells these enchanted toys hold one spell and can activate once per day like a banshee doll that casts Alarm or a rabbit plush that can cast expeditious retreat. Spells that also work for this are guidance, invisibility, lesser and greater restoration, rope trick, darkvision, aid, sanctuary and so on and so forth. Cuz for the love of god SOMEBODY has to protect the kids.}

The consorts of Strahd each have a magical item that tethers them to him in a sort of telepathic link so if something happens to them he'll know IMMEDIATELY. {Part of my campaign is gonna be taking down the consorts one by one either from killing them or making them turn on Strahd. And something about my version of Strahd is despite the fact his consorts are only there to fill the hole Tatyana's death created truly cares for them so anytime one of those two options happens Strahd kinda sorta maybe goes on a rampage á la Vlad Dracula Tepes from Castlevania}

The Morning Lord and Mother Night are twin deities. As well as they're also deities of the past and the future respectively. {Just thought it'd be cute. And also to explain why the Mother Night gave Madam Eva her accurate divinations. The church of the Morning Lord deal in things like funerals and memories for the past. The church of the Mother Night deals with things like weddings or births for the future. Could also be part of why Baba Lysaga worships the Mother Night)

Father Donavich's first name is Gabriel and which makes Doru's last name Gabrilovich. {Just because Father Donavich in the module doesn't really have a first name. And neither does Doru have a last name so uh yeah.}

Some characters like Victor are now neutral. As well as Helga and Piddlewick II. {Thought it'd be more interesting if these characters weren't fully evil that's all}

The older consorts Strahd has like Ludmilla are full on vampires for he trusts her not to betray him. {This is mostly so the consorts have the full capability to betray Strahd. Both the monster manual and Baldur's Gate 3 have vampire spawns be fully loyal no matter what to the vampire that sired them}

A couple group names I came up with but haven't finished making the groups are The Coven of Blood and the Court of Rats do what you will with those. {Just thought it'd be cool}

The horses that carry Ez's magic wagon are named Rubinus and Safir respectively. {They're both words for Ruby and Sapphire in different languages just like Ez's name is another language's word for emerald. Thought that'd be cute}

Also Ezmeralda has a gun as well as a crossbow that shoots wooden stakes. {I saw somebody I think on youtube have the idea that Ez has a gun to give the concept of her being the future of monster hunting while Van Richten is the past I added the crossbow as part of my own spin on that idea}

The people with souls tend to be younger as the soul gets taken to a baby maybe within a few minutes after birth and sticks there within five years. {Cuz people die all the time in Barovia the opposite I think is also true that people get born all the time in Barovia. And because of that more children tend to have souls more often than the adults. The soul not really sticking til five years is based off the idea of people "gaining consciousness" around five or six. and also to give magic users a time window to try reviving whoever had died as well as an explanation for babies dying from SIDS as the soul had returned to the body via revivify.)

Wereolf Ireena? Just a thought. {An intrusive thought I had a couple days ago}

Strahd's goal maybe instead of making Ireena into a vampire bride could try to tie the soul of Tatyana into a vessel that won't ever leave him. Aka Vasilka. {As an add on to the idea of Ireena being a werewolf Strahd may see the fact she is one as a deal breaker because Tatyana surely wasn't a werewolf. Also because I think after four or five times of getting Tatyana and then losing her has probably made him and everyone in his court tired of the cycle. So Strahd would rather end it entirely.}

the name "mongrel"folk (not sure if I'm gonna have that as their actual race name maybe like chimerafolk or something) was an insult to the Belviews by the Abbot because he just despises the poor things so much. He also created the first of this race using the bodies of the Belviews and animal corpses as an experiment for making a flesh golem that was perfect for Strahd's undead bride. {That's honestly about it. Tho if I do call them chimerafolk I will have to probably hear Nina Tucker jokes so yeh}

Volenta has a fight club. That's it.

People in Vallaki gossip that Rudolph van Richten is in the country. Maybe making jokes about him killing Strahd. {Just wanted a reason for 1 Strahd to know about van Richten being in the country and 2 so I can have a bit of npcs making Chuck Norris jokes but with van Richten}

That's about it hope this helps

[ninawolv3rina]

Vasilka as well since I made some adjustments to her storyline for my run and wanted them reflected in her design!

The faces of Tatyana Federovna

Heres a compilation of some stain glass artworks I've done in relation to Tatyana Federovna + Ireena Kolyanovich. Featuring some familiar incarnates and some non familiar to the official stuff in The Curse of Strahd Module and the Van Richten's guide.

In our version Lyssa is not related to the Von Zarovich as the last surviving Von Zarovich is Sturm.

So funny story. My DM had the idea of using tarot cards to figure out how each character's story arc was going to go for Curse of Strahd. They asked to pull for Quinn a few times before getting together for an official read with the rest of the party. He got the Three of Swords. Every. Single. Time. And boy have things been living up to it.
