I haven't had the energy to draw in forever but I was going back through my refs folder and found all these Desmonds I made in picrew like 7-8 years ago? I wish I still had the link, I tried to find it but no luck... will add if I find it!

I still really like them though and feel they capture him better than any time I've tried to draw him myself or make him in another creator (sims, elden ring, BG3) so I just wanna post these here because it's been so long since I've posted any of my ocs - under a cut for length

plus some bonus Jess at the bottom <3

They just really capture his Gremlin energy, yanno?

Bonus from the trial (he was Prince for 3 months after blood-bonding the Prince to become Seneschal (for attention) but then she disappeared under mysterious circumstances which he actually genuinely had nothing to do with so now he's just in terminal debt to the city)

And bonus sad baby Jess... she's shy so she doesn't get made or drawn as much (actually started a run of BG3 with her too and she's just like "Mm. No, thank you.")

Bust commission for @halifaxafterdark !

Thank you for letting me draw this wee sweetheart! Normally I throw rocks directly at Lasombras (mostly lovingly…), but I will make an exception for her because look at her. What a cutie! I hope she has the best unlife ever and literally zero problems.

Desmond was born in the late 1870s and turned before the turn of the century, I think hes probably in his early-mid 20s but despite being over a century old he hasn't matured or learned anything of substance so he's about as knowledgable as your average fledgling...

Jess was turned in the early 1900s when Des and his sire were sailing across to the Americas from Europe... I feel like shes younger, maybe 19 or 20. Neither of them had a lot of chances to learn from other Kindred while their Sire was in the picture because she was paranoid and kept them away from Kindred society...

Everyone else in our campaign is much younger! Most were turned in the later half of the 20th Century-- Tina was turned in the 90s, and then Mitch and Prudence are both very new within a few months/years respectfully. Tina and Mitch belong to @seanisdrawin

No one knows how old Cherry is and she likes it that way lmao

vtm friends at which age where your characters turned and how old are they now?

Alex was born 1987 and embraced at his 18th birthday. So he would turn 36 this year.

Nico was born 1997 and turned at 23, he would be 26 this year.

give jessica a hug for me

Aww thank you anon, consider it done!

While Jess is a little bit too skittish for hugs from just anybody, she luckily has an adoring twin brother who gives out hugs for free

Even when she's lost in a book, he can't catch her unawares because they're psychically connected through the Malknet so she always knows when he’s sneaking up.

oh it’s just the horrors again... yeah, they’re unending

#halifax after dark #jessica witz #malkavian #vtm #wod #vamily #lemme just put all my anxiety and depression into this one oc its fine she's fine

[halifaxafterdark]

What I say: Yeah I play vampire the masquerade!

What I mean: I have slaughtered vampire the masquerade and desecrated it’s corpse to pull out the useable and interesting concepts contained within its graphic design nightmare of a rule book. I have then become Frankenstein and brought to life my own monster that I call VTM and show to my friends while desperately hiding the rest of it with the skeletons in my closet. It possess the capacity to explore very serious themes and trauma in an interesting way-

What they hear: I like Gay vampires
