#Golden Lies Spewn Forth from Avarice

[theuncrucified]

To celebrate the Abyssals 3e launch from @theonyxpath, enjoy a collection of some of my Abyssal art!

Starting off with my take on the Deathlord, The Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears. I channeled teardrop silhouettes and teardrop crystals with a spoopy madam aesthetic.

Say hello to Golden Lies Spewn Forth from Avarice, a Deathknight of the Lover who enjoys eating the rich (quite literally).

The Eyes of Lord Automeris, a soulsteel war fan weapon a Deathknight Moonshadow Caste used in our campaign that does willpower eroding attacks when it opens fully revealing its 'eyes'.

The Monstrance of the Lover. A gift given from the Lover to Rabzolga, the God of Slaves. As each monstrance suits the Deathlord’s intentions (the way I interpret the lore), I’ve chosen to portray this monstrance controlled by the Lover as being much like its owner.

The silk satin pillowing inside makes it seem like a luxurious bed, the soulsteel and jade construct gilded with gold. A prismatic crystalline lid allows one to gaze on the poor soul inside, whose body is trapped in an arc that mimics ecstasy by gold caressing arms that come alive and clasp the victim within. Inserted along the crystal lid, jewel encrusted needles stab into each of the victim’s chakra points, plying the Solar within for corruption. Like the Lover, this monstrance combines a beautiful and terrible aesthetic.

Now we're getting into the fun spoopy topics of the Exalted Art Challenge I was looking forward to the most!  Feels great to indulge my inner Goth Girl. 

Abyssal - Golden Lies Spewn Forth From Avarice

No that title isn't a sentence, it's this character's name.  Abyssals are the dark reflection of Solars like Kalara.  Their once-divine Sun essence has been corrupted by beings empowered by the ancient fallen gods.  This character once had a name, but it was taken from him and stricken from the books in heaven when he was transformed into an Abyssal.

In life, Golden Lies obsessed over material wealth and pursued it to his end.  In death (or undeath), he cloaks himself in the finery of a king's funeral adorned with bejeweled bones and serves the Deathlord, the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears. I played with a couple of different color schemes for him and am favoring the white-haired look at the moment!  This isn't the last we'll see of this fellow, as he might appear in The Uncrucified down the line, if the story goes where I think it's going.

On the bottom-right, I also decided to draw fan art of another Abyssal who I liked the design of, the Saint of Promised Silence, who belongs to HamSandLich.  Be sure not to be too loud in cemeteries around her!
