More Changeling doodles. These are a few months old, so now improvement on the scale issue yet.
Well... maybe in this one:
Jonah Boon, my character in a current campaign, a shapechanger working as a bartender. The necklace is a status symbol; a sign of him being a Pearl Satrap.
And from the campaign I'm hoping to continue to ST for some friends...
Pythia, an oracular changeling who runs a New Age occult shop, selling crystals, star charts and the like.
Coldsnake, a kinswoman to snakes and serpents.
Toni Itälä, the owner of a small indie record label.
Rawhide, the ogrish owner of an Italian restaurant.
Uriel, a gargoyle-like changeling working as a janitor in the local church.
This guy's name is a little untranslatable. In Finnish, the term for a 'jack of all trades' is literally 'a file for every situation'. Since that sounded a little off, I basically picked the Finnish version of the name Jack, Jaska. Hence, Jack of All Trades, a diminutive but hard-working technician at the local theatre.
Galenos - the Finnish version of the name Galen -, the 'Doc' of this particular changeling society. An Oneirophysic, a dream-healer who works as a pharmacist.
Little Annie and Eric Copper, smiths. Little Annie was actually inspired by a goldsmith I once met; a lithe young blonde wearing a burnt leather apron and heavy gloves with the elegant ease of a coctail dress.
Ketunleipä and Tappura-Erkki. I kinda like these two, an elderly woman specialising in herbalism (and raising some weed on the side), named after
wood sorrel, a common plant here in Finland and one which children in the countryside used to eat in the summer - and her journeyman, 'Eric Bramble', a teenager with thorny flesh.
Janus, a shapeshifter with a penchant for fear and the macabre. Think of that obnoxious guy in the bar who thinks he's heaven's gift to all women? That's Janus. Or that strange guy who keeps walking after you, a good sprint back, but following you all the way to your doorstep in the dark? Janus again, feeding on the fear exhuding from such terrors.
Zachary, the
major domo of the local Spring Court, responsible for maintaining the festivities and celebrations of the freehold.
I kinda have a soft spot for this guy. Vipunen - named after a mythological Finnish giant - is a simple but good-hearted man, a true gentle giant. I imagine him appearing to mortal eyes as someone who suffers from gigantism, but that just belies a heart of gold underneath. Don't get him pissed, though, or hassle with his wife, 'cause then he'll crush your skull.
Silvermane the huntress, a not-so-gentle giant. I tried to give her a somewhat yeti- or sasquatch-like appearance without making her seem oafish or stupid. I imagine her being not so much booksmart but sharp-witted and relentless.
