-slamming bolt upright in a cold sweat- what do you mean verbal contracts cleo. what do you MEAN verbal contracts cleo. artists if you're doing commercial work you're A) charging much higher rates and B) making them SIGN A CONTRACT, right? right? you understand why that's VITAL, right? why having a written contract is VITAL for commercial work? you understand? you make them sign a written contract? please if you go looking in proper artist/graphic design circles i'm sure you can find a basic form that's legal in your locality and doesn't require you talk to a lawyer but if you're doing commercial work you're MAKING THEM SIGN A CONTRACT RIGHT--

I absolutely LOVE the Squirtle/Wartortle illustrations by kantaro in Pokemon 151!
Tumblr media
The Squirtle jumping so joyfully from the rock into the ocean, the colors are STUNNING! I love the contrast of the Squirtle's aqua blue framed in the vivid orange sky, the soft bit of blue reflecting in its shell and its tail just catching the sun, how little and squishy its body looks as it launches itself towards the water with such tremendous excitement!
The lineless style of the background gives me the feel of a travel poster and I sense the tropical environment around it from the rocks and trees framing the corners, the waterfall splashing with as much energy as the Squirtle!
The layered blues on the surface of the water and the bubbles rising at the corner make me FEEL the liquid rising to meet the Squirtle--I can just feel how the next moment it's going to break through and be immersed in a cool island swim!
Tumblr media
And the Wartortle running along the sunset beach, this is somehow everything I always imagined for Wartortle! I adore the way the rich purple melts into the warm red/orange sky, the matching purple clouds and shadows in the foreground, and how the dimming sunlight glows red on Wartortle's deep blues!
I love how the yellow and orange of the sky illuminate the lapping waves, I can just feel the gentle motion of the sea at dusk. The aqua color of the ocean matches Wartortle's ears and tail and sets off the red-orange sand, I just love how the colors are here!
Wartortle looks so round and squishy, I love its happiness as it goes frolicking through the shallows, chasing the bubbles caught in the setting sun! The shine and deep shadow on its shell give it an almost jewel texture like real tortoise shell; I love the silhouetted splash Wartortle leaves as it goes running across the shore. It's so full of energy and delight at the end of a gorgeous day! The colors in these are SO vivid and harmonized and the style is so cute and bursting with energy and joy. I just LOVE it (also Squirtle is my starter)
#pokemon#pokemon tcg#long post#i have deep affection for bulbasaur as well though and i also love the bulbasaur/ivysaur cards in this set#i SO wish we'd gotten art of the final evolutions in the same style as the pre-evos' standard cards!!#(yes i do love the full art ones but i also love the illustrations on the standard cards!)#from the way the settings in these two were going; i would have imagined blastoise to be set at night (??)#i LOVE pokemon cards. i can't keep up with every set but i started collecting again now and then a few years ago#and 151 has really got me wanting the full set the way i haven't since childhood. SO many beautiful illustrations (but there always are)#it's like having little pieces of art of my favorite characters and it's only.. slightly... less expensive than actually commissioning ....#i KNOW it's less expensive to buy the individuals online but it's so much less fun#part of the fun is having YOUR own pokemon journey ((going to the store)) and seeing what YOU encounter ((when you open the pack))#i do buy them online sometimes but i usually dont form as strong associations with them as when i open a pack in a certain setting or place#i tend to try to save them to open right before a significant event like starting something new or a holiday. so that i form associations#and it's like 'oh that's the galarian obstagoon from when my mom came home for christmas'#and 'that's the snorlax who reassured me when i was hurt'#i don't buy them too often so i've got to make it count#anyway i know i should wait for the prices on this one to come down because it's absolutely ridiculous#i didn't buy anything at release because i was like $6 for one booster pack??? but i couldn't take just sitting and watching them sell out#i really like the poster because i can look at so many beautiful pictures all together#i could say stuff like this about literally every pokemon illustration (if i had time to write it out) and sometimes i've wanted to#i just chose these two because these are a couple of my original favorite pokemon and i just couldn't keep it to myself. i LOVE these

woah woah woah yuri you're still alive????
haha what happened you may ask??? well, life just gave me hell and decided that today. TODAY, was gonna top it off with the biggest disaster so far!!!!!
i literally just wanted to have ONE day off after my bday, but the next morning my computer wouldn't work! which was fantastic because literally every single one of my wips/ finished not posted works/ digital art was on there so i stressed. the FUCK. out
it's fixed now ofc and THANKFULLY nothing was lost except the artworks that weren't autosaved that day! (which- yknow, sucks, but there was worse at stake before :'D) after me bEGGING my dad to help me with the problem
except it's NOT OVER yet!!!!
sai's settings and brushes reseted for some reason and my absolute fav custom brushes were gone! so with me trying to recreate them then loosing them all over because they just wouldn't be SAVED OMG and me going for a trip to my uncle's small town and watching the leftover day offs i had dwindle so goshdarn fast i was feeling so sO drained-
and wanna know the funniest thing??? when i come back home ready to post art and FINALLY rant about this what happens?? no wifi :DDDD
prioritizing the water and electricity bills first, i got to work and drew everyday to make it up for you guys and look at that! i have good and horrible news!
so SURPRISE! since you guys have been SO patient with me (thank you all :'D), i will say that i have a LOT of finished works to post! all ranging from 1 animated gif, 9 artworks, 1 illustration that's part of a little prompt idea i came up with (1 done and 4 left)
technically, i have 2 pieces finished and 3 wips for the remaining days of fnk week and 2 new ocs!!!! (and redraws of 4 older ocs, 2 of which are ready to post)
as for the worse news... man. i'm barely hanging here but woo i broke my tablet's pen and it's charging wire!! (i literally don't know how but it got separated from it's body while it was in it and i can't i can't even)
i am so so broken right now- i was so happy to update yesterday and reblog stuff since i finally got wifi again and- man it feels like i'm making this shit up but oh my god i wanna cry
i guess i could post everything i had the chance to draw before but gosh i'm so sorry but i can't promise more art after i announce which one was the last in stock- (at least until i get enough money to buy a replacement for them both)
i know i suck at communicating if i'm alive and just having a hard time but i swear this year was really rough on me and my health in general so i hope you guys can understand :'(
#rambling#delete later?#i am so so tired all the time#i guess it was a needed rest to just. not think about anything and draw for fun but it also wasn't exactly relaxing-#i have so little free time and wasting it feels so horrible and i'm. sorry#sorry for dropping off out of the sudden and sorry for the wait i'm aware that it's sad whenever it happens#i planned this post in advance so when i noticed my pen wasn't working anymore i was having such a breakdown i'm#i can't even open commissions i can't draw no more oh my gosh i'm sorry#just when you think it's getting better it gets a hundred times WORSE i can't believe my LUCK!!!!!#and oh my god SORRY for not reblogging stuff you tag me into as well!!!#i felt like every happy emotion was drained out of my soul and i couldn't act like i was excited and all when i was doing horrible so#i didn't read nor look at anything because you guys deserve the original reaction of surprise and some real compliments!!!!#sorry if that means i don't reblog right away but i refrain from looking at something and only liking if i plan on leaving commentary later#and to the asks staring daggers at me in my inbox yall i swear if i wasn't busy being stomped over by life i'd answer in a heartbeat-#THANK YOU to EVERYONE for sticking by even if you probably forgot you even followed me at this point hhh :'D#too emotionally tired to delete the old happy tags i typed before#i could probably post this once i get my emotions in check but man i'm TIRED of waiting i am so done#gosh it must be a disappointing return right? yeah#sorry for the long post but man- i just don't wanna worry you guys for nothing#so heads up i'm probably gonna take a day off after this and be less cheerful than usual once i'm back#so ill wait to reblog stuff later again (so sorry again)#i'll make an announcement once i start posting the art i finished meanwhile (one every day cause there's a LOT)

the blood is rare & sweet as cherry wine
another commission of my absolute favourite toxic milf and dilf mari and rian for @chuckhansen from @queennymeria !!! thank you gabby for commissioning me and i’m so glad you enjoy this one, i hope you enjoy it as well airika 🥺❤️ it was such a pleasure to work with these two again !!! i love them so much !!!
-
Mari shouldn’t have expected Rian to behave.
For the first little while, she doesn’t see much of him in Jackson. Of course, he’s a lot busier than she is – even though she started working at the clinic, she spends a lot of time at Joel’s with Ally and Xavier. Still, she didn’t expect to see so little of him now that they live in the same settlement again. She passes by him on the street when she’s heading to work or getting supplies from the store before she heads home at the end of the night, but he never stops to talk to her, and she doesn’t see him when she’s out with Ally even once. She doesn’t know whether he’s avoiding them to be an asshole or giving her space to be nice and make things easier for them. Maybe both.
Then, once she starts going out with Tommy, everything changes.
She didn’t even expect to find someone here to go out with, but she deserves it. After Rian, after giving birth to Ally by herself, she deserves it. It doesn’t hurt that Tommy’s handsome, too, and he goes out of his way to be nice to her when he doesn’t have to be (and when most other people in Jackson aren’t). He takes her out to the restaurant, makes her dinner while Xavier watches the baby, walks her home from the clinic when he’s not on a guard shift or tending to chores (or dealing with the fallout of his break from Maria), and is just… around. A lot. Since Rian isn’t, Mari figures he won’t notice.
At least not as quickly as he does.
All of a sudden, though, he’s turning up more and more. Coming to Joel’s to drop something off even though everyone knows that Joel doesn’t like him and asking if Mari’s home; sitting down for dinner at the restaurant at the same time that Mari and Tommy are there, leaning close to Teagan with an arm around her shoulder and smiling as he whispers something into her ear. Mari doesn’t know what he could be saying – he’s probably just telling her how hot he is. God knows he’s full of himself enough for that to be true. Whatever it is that he’s saying, though, Teagan is smiling, and Mari hates it. She tries not to, but she hates it.
“Mari?”
She glances over at Tommy. “Sorry,” she says, smiling at him. “I was just thinking.”
Tommy places a hand on her leg and squeezes. Thankfully, he didn’t seem to notice her looking at Rian. “That’s alright,” he replies. “Anything you wanna share?”
She leans closer to him, tilting her head. “I don’t know,” she answers quietly. “I don’t really think this is an appropriate place to talk about it.”
His mouth falls open a little, breath catching in his throat. Mari tries not to feel too much pride over it. Tommy’s an older man – not old, but older than her. Maria probably wasn’t giving it up very often before they broke it off, so it’s no surprise that it takes Mari very little to rile him up. The fact that she’s hot helps, too. “Oh yeah?” he murmurs. His grip on her knee gets a little tighter. “Like what?”
Mari shrugs. “Maybe I’ll tell you later,” she responds with fake nonchalance. “If you’re good.”
Tommy chuckles. “Okay, okay. I’ll be good, then.”
When she glances around the room, trying not to be too obvious about it, she can see Rian watching her from his seat while Teagan plays with his jacket and talks to herself.
Good. If he wants to play games, then Mari’s going to play, too.
After that, he keeps popping up more and more. Mari catches him walking past the clinic with Teagan even though he’s probably going out of his way to do it. When Tommy takes Mari and Ally for a walk, Rian is sitting on a park bench with one of the few people in Jackson who can actually tolerate him. And almost every time Tommy and Mari are at the restaurant, sitting in their usual booth, Rian is there, too. He’s almost always with Teagan, but he shows up a few times just to keep an eye on them, and it’s starting to piss her off.
He left Shady Pines. Yes, she told him to, but he didn’t fight back or tell her to fuck off the way a grown man like him easily could’ve if he wanted to. Instead, he came to Jackson with his tail between his legs, fucked Teagan, and now that Mari is here too, he keeps flaunting her in Mari’s face. He hasn’t tried to talk to her, of course, or tried to reach out and talk about Ally. He just follows her around and tries to make her jealous, and it’s not working.
It’s not.
She’s pushing Ally in a stroller and walking beside Tommy in the graveyard one night when she spots Rian again. He’s not loitering as shamelessly as he usually does – she’s not even sure he was trying to catch them, since he’s standing on the other side of the gate with a bag of supplies slung over his shoulder. But still, even though she’s sure he was probably heading home for the night, he stops to watch them for a couple seconds. Tommy is telling a story that Mari is definitely not listening to, but he trails off when Rian heads up the path towards them.
“Hey,” Rian says.
“Hey,” Tommy replies. He sounds more gruff than usual, which isn’t a surprise. Both of the Miller brothers seem to get like that around Rian. “You need something, McCormick?”
“Nope.” Rian slows to a stop in front of Ally’s stroller, and Mari tightens her grip on the handle. “Just wanted to say hi.”
“Well, you said it.”
“Not to you.” He looks at Mari expectantly, and she lets out a sigh.
“Hey,” she says, trying not to sound effected.
Satisfied, Rian nods at her and then waits a couple seconds to lean down and hold his hand out for Ally. “Hi, baby girl,” he murmurs. Ally babbles, reaching up to grab him.
Tommy gives Mari a questioning look. She knows that if she told him to beat Rian’s ass – or just get him to piss off – that he’d do it, but she shakes her head. As much as she hates it, and him, and everything about the situation, Ally is Rian’s baby too. He’s already not allowed to be a part of her life the rest of the time. She might as well let him say hi. It doesn’t make him anything more than the stranger they both pretend he is.
“She looks good,” he comments. He sounds like he did the first time he saw Ally – thoughtful. No confidence or cockiness or anything. “Healthy. Happy.”
“She is,” Mari agrees. “We both are.”
She can see Tommy smile at that out of the corner of her eye, but it quickly disappears the second that Rian opens his mouth.
“Well, if you need someone to watch her while you guys go out on a date or something, then Teagan and I can do it.” He jerks his head towards Tommy. “Probably hard to get your rocks off with a kid in the house all the time, huh?”
Tommy takes a step towards him, but Rian puts his hands up defensively. “I’m kidding, I’m kidding,” he says with an expression that tells them otherwise. “But hey. I’m serious.” He looks at Mari, then, the emotion in his eyes unreadable. “You let me know if she needs anything, alright?”
“I can take care of them just fine,” Tommy tells him. “Don’t you got somewhere to be?”
Rian smiles at Tommy. “Yeah. I do. See you later.”
He nods at Mari before turning on his heel and heading the other direction, out of the graveyard and back into town. Tommy reaches over and places a hand on the small of Mari’s back. “You alright?” he asks.
She looks at him and nods. “I’m fine,” she replies. “Let’s just finish our walk. You were telling a story, weren’t you?”
Even when he starts telling it again, she still isn’t paying attention. She’s been waiting for Rian to approach her for weeks now and the first time he does, he barely has anything to say. After this, she’s tired of playing games with him. She’s sick of him pretending like he doesn’t care about her and then turning around to make her jealous whenever he has the chance. Next time he tries to approach her, she’ll tell him to leave her alone for good.
Then again, Joel and Tommy have a lot of sway in Jackson. If they wanted Rian gone, he would be gone. They could probably send Teagan packing, too, if Mari gave them a good enough reason. She doesn’t know why it hasn’t happened yet, considering how little both of the Miller brothers seem to like Rian. Maybe she should suggest it to Tommy. He’d probably do it, especially if he wants to be Ally’s dad down the line and needs Rian out of the picture.
But thinking about that makes her feel sick, so she puts that idea to bed for now.
She doesn’t see Rian for a few days after that. Not even when she and Tommy are out for dinner again – him and Teagan’s usual seat is taken up by another couple, and they’re nowhere to be found in the rest of the restaurant. She doesn’t see him when they walk home, but she does see Teagan getting friendly with one of the forward scouts. Later that night, after Tommy’s dropped her off and helped her put Ally to bed, Mari’s just put on the record player and sat down on the couch when someone knocks at the door.
It's Rian. Of course. He wasn’t giving her space – he was just biding his time.
“Joel’s not here,” she says, wrapping her robe tighter around her chest. Thank God Xavier isn’t here, either – he’d have a lot to say. “Even if he was, we both know he wouldn’t invite you inside.”
“I don’t wanna talk to Joel.” Rian looks uncharacteristically nervous. She doesn’t think she’s ever seen him look like this in his life. “I want to talk to you.”
“You’re already talking to me.”
He lets out a sharp breath like he wants to snap back at her but instead glances at the front door, pulling a hand out of his pocket to gesture toward it. “Can I come inside?”
“If you want to see Ally –“
“I don’t,” he interrupts. “Well, I do. Of course I do. But I want to talk to you first. Can I come in?”
Mari stares at him for a moment and then steps out onto the porch, closing the door behind her. It’s too cold outside for this, but she doesn’t feel like they have much to say to each other anyway.
“Okay.” She looks up at him expectantly. “Talk.”
He looks down at her, swallowing hard. “I came to see you,” he begins softly. “The morning I was supposed to leave Shady Pines. After I had packed up and was ready to go, I came by so I could… I wanted to… I don’t know.” He reaches up to run a hand through his hair. “I was going to tell you that I didn’t want to go. I didn’t want to leave you. I didn’t want that. I… I just…” His eyes flick away from her. “Fuck, this is hard.”
Mari should tell him to leave her alone like she was thinking about. She should tell him that she doesn’t want him in Ally’s life, remind him that whatever happened between them was too complicated and that it never would’ve worked out, but she doesn’t. When she pictures him standing at her door in Shady Pines, waiting to talk to her, and thinks about how he left feeling like she didn’t even care that he did… she feels guilty. Maybe she’s been feeling guilty for a while and just wouldn’t let herself admit it.
The worst thing is that she can’t stand by any of the things she’s said. She said a relationship wouldn’t have worked and it’s clear, now that she’s with Tommy and he’s with Teagan, that that’s not true. Whether or not she likes Tommy, they’ve made it work so far. Whether or not Rian likes Teagan, they’ve been together for a lot longer than Mari and Tommy, and they’ve made it work so far, too.
And Mari knows that Tommy is nice and all, but he’s not Rian. He’s never been Rian.
“I know the world is a fucked-up place,” Rian continues. “I know as good as anyone that caring about people can be dangerous. But… Mari, I care about you.” He takes a step closer to her and she doesn’t back away. “I wish I never left.”
“Why did you?”
“I wanted you to regret pushing me away. I wanted you to realize that you cared about me, too.” His gaze flickers down to her lips and then back up to her eyes. “Do you?”
Mari looks at him, thinking hard. This is it. She can feel, right now, that this is her last chance. If she never wants to speak to Rian again, if she never wants to see him again, if she wants to be a happy family with Tommy and Ally and Xavier for the rest of her life, she can tell him ‘no’ and he will leave her alone, for his sake as well as hers. She knows that, deep down. She also knows that Rian cares about her. He probably loves her. And even though she’s been pretending that she doesn’t feel the same, she does. It’s not another Dominic situation. She’s not faking it for safety and security and comfort. Her feelings for Rian don’t give her any of that, and she still wants to tell him she cares about him.
Instead, she glances away and shrugs. He stares at her for a moment before letting out an amused huff.
“It’s like that, huh?” he asks.
Mari crosses her arms over her chest, trying not to smile. She basically just admitted that she cares about him – she can’t inflate his ego anymore by laughing, or even giving him a smile. That’d be too much. He still has to work for that. “Yeah.”
“Come on.” He grabs her biceps and tugs them. “You’re really going to tell me you don’t care about me?”
“I didn’t say that.”
“So you do care.”
“I didn’t say that either.”
Rian laughs. “You’re killing me, Mari.”
She rolls her eyes. “Go fuck yourself.”
He slides his hands up to her shoulders and squeezes. “So. Do you want to tell Tommy or should I?”
Sighing, Mari reaches up to push his hands off her shoulders. “There’s nothing to tell Tommy,” she answers airily. “Just because I might care about you doesn’t mean he and I are done. I care about a lot of things, and I’m not going to break up with Tommy just so I can fuck those things.”
“Yeah, but…” Rian smirks at her. “You wanna fuck me, though, right?”
She glares at him. “I didn’t say that.”
“You feel it, though. I can tell.”
She does want to fuck him, of course. No one has ever made her feel the way he has. Even though she’s sure Tommy would be fine in the bedroom, he would never compare to Rian. Still, she doesn’t really know where to go from here. She doesn’t know if she and Rian are ready for a real relationship yet. She doesn’t know if she remembers how to do a real relationship anymore – not just playing house like she’s been with Tommy. And there’s still Teagan and Ally to consider… and she knows that Xavier is going to have a hell of a lot to say…
“I’ll talk to Tommy when you break up with Teagan,” Mari says.
“I’ll break up with Teagan when you promise you’re going to break up with Tommy,” Rian shoots back. “I’m not going to break up with Teagan so I can sit around while Tommy breaks both his hips trying to fuck you.”
She’s dangerously close to laughing at that, but she holds out. Thankfully. “Joel will kill you if he hears you talking about Tommy like that.”
“Good thing he’s not home, then.”
Rian is so cocky, standing on Joel’s porch like he owns the place. “You should head home,” she says, even though she really doesn’t want him to. If she knew Xavier wouldn’t be coming home anytime soon, if there was no risk of Tommy showing up unannounced, she might be interested in inviting Rian in… but she can’t. Not until she talks to Tommy. Not until she deals with everything else, first. “We can talk more tomorrow.”
He blows a raspberry, tucking his hands into his back pocket. “Fine,” he says. “Can I get a goodnight kiss first, though?”
“You’re pushing your luck, McCormick.”
“I know. Just thought that it would never hurt to ask.”
She shoves his shoulder and turns to the door. “Get out of here,” she says. “Goodnight, Rian.”
“’Night, Mari.” She doesn’t need to be looking at him to know that he’s watching her. Before she shuts the door behind her, she turns around and shoots one last glare at him for good measure. Rian being Rian, he just smiles.
With a smile of her own, Mari heads to Ally’s room and creeps inside. It’s completely silent, so she tiptoes over to the crib as quietly as she can and peers over the edge to see whether or not Ally is still sleeping. She is, of course, completely sound asleep, just as Tommy and Mari had left her earlier. Mari leans down and scoops Ally up into her arms, trying not to disturb her, and pads over to the well-worn armchair in the corner of the room. This might be one of the last nights that she has the baby all to herself, but for the first time, she feels like sharing her – and sharing a future – with Rian might not be as scary as she thought.
Even if it is, for the first time, she feels like it might be worth it.
And if it’s not worth it, then Tommy and Joel can kick Rian out of Jackson, and Mari will have Ally all to herself again.

Tumblr media
me, does not and has never professionally offered book illustration or comics, has been so kicked in the dick by Mental Illness™ since [checks notes] 2019 that I’ve been turning down inquiries for the kind of commissions I do do and even my personal work for fun has been spotty at best:
Tumblr media
#I'm not WORRIED like... she's been Like This for forever nobody's gonna take her up on it so it's not worth even saying anything to her#literally don't even know how to approach it without feeling like an ingrate shooting down her well intentioned hype-up#but also like the SPECIFIC context of me being like 'hey guys I don't do enough art to even wanna feel like I'm asking for money'#'but I just wanna make sure you know you can follow patreon for free to see my art if you want to no pressure just fyi 👉👈'#and sharing THAT like 'MY DAUGHTER WILL ILLUSTRATE YOUR ENTIRE BOOK' dude no the fuck I won't :'D#she's trying to hype me up! she's trying to be helpful and supportive! but she's also putting words in my mouth!! stop that!!#I have a friend who asked about a commission I am afraid to even check how many months ago that I'm still behind on doing#(I was thinking about not charging him to begin with and I sure as hell am not gonna now lmao but I still intend to DO it in theory)#and like even being as nonconfrontational about it as [polite cough] I'm actually not accepting commissions right now#would just invite oh but why NOT your art is so BEAUTIFUL you should be SELLING IT etc#ANYWAY all the Nuance is a moot point when at the end of the day 'my daughter will make your comic book' has simply never ever been true#I know she has absolutely no context for HOW MUCH fucking WORK that is but I DO which is why I don't! do it!! lmao!!!#about me#irl frens#posts from facebook#my art

hey, is the whole y2kvr shimeji project cancelled / never going to get finished?
Um! This is kind of a weird question to answer! But I'll do my best <3
I still have all of the sketches finished to the point where if I just sat down and did nothing but the shimejis I could probably get them all done in under a month. The big reason I stopped was because I'd have to entirely redo the biggest animation for all of them and had gotten all of them done so quickly I got burnt out! But I do still have the files for everyone :)
The main problem is just my schedule! I'm starting my thesis year at art school in a few weeks, and I've gotten shimeji commissions as well, and I'm sure you can understand I do prioritize the shimejis that help me pay for college 🥺 especially since they just raised tuition
So! Yes and no! I do want to finish them, I would very much like to! I think about it a lot haha. But I'm not currently in a position to be able to put in the time to fix them up and work on a large project like this when I have my thesis project and also commissions to think about.
I hope that makes sense! I would definitely love to finish them!! I still really like all the sketches I have and would love to see the set complete <3 thank you for giving me the opportunity to explain as well!

D&D day. Starting a new campaign and I'm introducing Aadi Amil, a 6'2" 200lb female (Think Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones, though I have NO idea how tall she actually is or how much she weighs) Hexblood (original race High Elf), Paladin!
She was a wanderer who became a bounty hunter (mostly took on anyone who messed with the balance of nature), on a bounty hunt for a woman accused of witchcraft (who turned out to be an actual witch) Aadi was cursed. The witch was angered at the accusation and took it out on the Paladin. Now, Aadi travels in order to find this witch and hopefully remove the curse!
