Guadalupe Andujar: The Wolf-knight of Onyx

A Zenith-caste Solar from my exalted campaign. She was once a vigilante that railed against the corruption and crime in Skullstone, and a hero of the people. For as yet unknown reasons, she kinda went mad and ended her life while committing atrocities (that the new govt was quick to push under the rug to keep her as a symbol of hope). A Liminal player character in this game was created from her body parts! Very curious…

So Sidereals have this neat ability to put on disguises called Resplendent Destinies—it’s like becoming a stock character to blend in or play a certain role among regular mortals. So our Sidereal party has been having fun with silly costume changes. We’ve mainly been using it to pretend to be a traveling circus.

👻👑🌊

The Silver Prince; ruler of the Skullstone Archipelago and one of the thirteen Deathlords.

My take on this character from the Exalted canon, he’s a major antagonist in the campaign I’m currently running! My version of Skullstone takes a lot of cultural cues from Mexico, which is why his design has those elements in it. The diving-suit aspect is to tie in his silver armor with something appropriate for a nautical deathlord.

He is a Cool and Chill guy :)

Sketches of the party (and two npc friends) in our new Exalted game. They’re a team of Sidereal exalts and they’re all totally normal and well-adjusted varieties of lesbians. The team (which all use She/her pronouns) includes:

Katram Lari (Journeys Caste) PC

Dutiful Crane (Serenities Caste) NPC

Prahma, Daughter of Ahlat (Battles Caste) PC

Sarita Ghoshal (Secrets Caste) my PC

Killing-in-Mercy-Cantata {“Killian”} (Endings Caste) NPC

They’re such disfunctional freaks.

I’ve been playing in a new Exalted game now that Tendaji’s campaign has wrapped up. This new game is centered around Sidereal exalts, so this is my new blorbo!

Sarita Ghoshal (she/her) is a Secrets-caste Sidereal. She is a slimy huckster always looking for the next big score. She’s a propaganda specialist who is working with her party of fellow sidereals to unseat a political regime, fun stuff.

Some more characters from my Skullstone-focused Exalted campaign. Having lot’s of fun making zombie freaks. More info below the cut:

Bala’Bala Meltdown: (she/her) A teenage Liminal exalt who joined a local crime syndicate. Her stitched-together body has blue fish scales in some areas and secretes acidic ooze. She can spit acid and even use less caustic forms of it to make “spray paint” graffiti. Her tail fin can detach and be thrown like a boomerang. She thinks she’s the coolest kid on the block.

River Dragon Smile: (he/him) A veteran enforcer for the Golden Carp Triad. Years of doing the gang’s dirty work has started to wear him down, and some say he’s gone soft. Back in the day, he mentored one of the party members when te was in the gang. Nowadays he’s taken to mentor Bala’Bala—and sees her as something of a daughter to him.

Golden Carp Surmounts the Dragon’s Gate: (he/him) AKA Goldie, he’s the boss of the Golden Carp Triad, an arrogant shithead who lords his wealth and success over his foes (and even his friends). What many people don’t realize is that he’s an Abyssal exalted! Whether or not he works with the Silver Prince—deathlord of Skullstone—is unclear. He used to be in a relationship with one of the party members, and has harangued tyr into reenlisting with the Triad with some mindfreak psyche magic.

Coyote Feasts on What Remains: (he/him) AKA Coyote. An Abyssal exalt and the headmaster of Skullstone’s school of necromancy, the Obelion. His specialty is summoning undead spirits and minions. A liminal member of the party was apparently created from the body of Coyote’s twin sister, and he’s furious to discover that.

Flamenca de la Fortuna Sombria: (she/her) AKA Lady Flamenca. Another of Skullstone’s Abyssals, she’s a celebrity dance star—performing to sold out crowds in the famed Theatre Macabre. Her dance crew is made entirely of liminal exalted, who are all completely obsessed with her. Since liminals resurrect after dying, part of her act involves tearing her entarogue to shreds with her Swaying Grass Style.

My Exalted players have been starting a new story arc, so they’ve been encountering plenty of new characters. More info below the cut.

Commodore-Inspector Ignacio Guarez Fellipe: (he/him) The leader of the Turquoise Watch, the local police force/coast guard for the city of Onyx. He’s a Liminal exalted, and has ritually grafted a magic artifact to replace his head. Tight-laced and no-nonsense, he has his eye on the party for suspected connections to a local crime syndicate.

The Rodimus League: A group of bounty hunter who are all exalted by the minor god of the hunt, Nimculean-Rodimus. They each have magical prosthetics that enhance their capabilities, and they’re all very experienced veterans of their field. They tried to collect a bounty on a party member but got their butts whooped. The League includes:

Besnik Clouted-Ear: (he/him) The ringleader, he has an earhorn that lets him speak to his ally’s prosthetics like a walkie-talkie.

Blanche Snubbed-Nose: (she/her) The scout, she has prosthetic bat wings that let her swoop in and snatch up bounties.

Egon Lazy-Eye: (he/him) The archer, he has a prosthetic tail that lets him cling to unique sniping positions.

Godren Severed-Tongue: (he/him) The tank, he’s a braggart and a gourmet who loves to challenge bounties directly.

More assorted NPCs from the Exalted game I’m running. They sure do meet some weird freaks. Character info under the cut.

Anwar, Zurias & Seung Wu (all te/tyr): more assorted Tya crewmates for the PC’s ship. Oodles of t-boy swag from this trio.

The Fool of Ghosts and Shadows (he/him): A freaky sad clown Abyssal that lived in a haunted mansion. He trapped the party and tried to emotionally torture them but they kicked his butt. He’s actually my very liberally interpreted take on a canon Exalted character named the Knight of Ghosts and Shadows. Don’t ask why I made them a clown, it’s too long a story.

Luis Andujar (he/him): A ghost-blooded necromancer and an all around friendly sorta dude and a bit of a renaissance man. The party was hired to deliver him a message (re: a devil stone) but he’s grown rather fond of the PCs now.

The Siren Tower (it/its): A type of fey monster from the Exalted books, it lures in ships to wreck them and add the junk to its mass. The one the party bumped into though was a little different, it talked to them. Pretty weird! I’m sure they won’t bump into it again.

THANK YOU SHIFTING PATH!

Happy Calibration/Exalted Secret Santa 2023!

I think I speak for all of us when I say I'm astonished you've been organizing this event (aka herding internet art cats) for so long. I know this nerdy little community looks forward to it every year.

This year, in honor of the milestone, I wanted to acknowledge your efforts in a bigger way, and I got almost all of this year's participants to join in. Thank you to everyone who let me put your artwork in Path's little art gallery there, and thank you extra to the folks who left messages as well!

I hope the new year is treating you all well, but no matter how it's going, at least we've got this little community here, and I think I speak for many of us when I say I value that a great deal. Here's to the next 15 years!

(Disclaimer: I didn't know until AFTER I drew this that someone else started this and that Path took it over after year one, but I'm still giving Path the credit for *getting* this event to the 15-year mark. That is still one hell of an accomplishment.)

(To fullmoonspecial: I couldn't reach you to get your consent before Path put up the post-event wrap-up, but if you'd like me to add your art to the gallery wall there, I still can.)

#it’s been so great to become a part of this tradition #thanks for everything Path! #exalted secret santa

Yayyyy!! Ah she looks fantastic! Love the detailing on her spear and armor. Aaaaaa!

Coming in absolutely last minute as per usual, but happy Calibration for @moonstar-mush featuring their character, Spears-to-Billhooks Nazmiya!!

Really cool character concept, glad I got a chance to draw her!

#exalted secret santa #nazmiya

[moonstar-mush]

Happy Calibration to @keirangoldenwatch ! This is their Infernal character Seren. Apparently she’s gonna be taking on the Mask in a big airship, so I’ve given her a subtle costume change (including goggles for both pairs of eyes).

Seren was a really fun character to draw! I’m happy that I got to participate again this year. Thank you to @shiftingpath for organizing everything.
