Side profiles are my absolute weakest aspect of art, but I wanted to do the apple trend so badly so I did it anyways. I just don’t care.

We loved doomed yuri, my sweet elven light cleric and her oath of vengeance paladin gf. Defying the odds and defying Strahd and kissing whenever they can.

The true “Curse of Strahd” is the fact that Strahd can’t take no for an answer when trying to force Veiri to get with him- Veiri is too into that red headed cutie to ever even think of getting with his ancient ass.

I only ever draw humanoids so this was out of my comfort zone, but I drew a Dragonborn character token for one of my friends. I think his name is Gale.

POV: Your not fairy godmother Strahd Von Zarovich gets you ready for the ball and you’re not happy about it. (More rambles under the cut)

The ball hasn’t happened yet, but the last time we saw him he said Veiri was going to get two new dresses. Definitely not because two of our players blew up and died two sessions ago. Veiri tore up her purple dress from home and made it into two pairs of clothes for our new (and totally not corrupted) revived party members. Yay!

The DM said one of the dresses would be a formal dress and so I designed this one based off dawn.

(Yes I know it’s been months since I last posted, I know it’s not that important but I have been trying to get my energy back under my wings. Hopefully I’ll stop being a puddle of muck soon. And maybe then I’ll branch out and draw other characters besides Veiristasia-)

Curse of Strahd, big big spoilers, Vallaki edition.

I’m gutted.

Vasili is Strahd. What the fuck. He revealed it to Veiristasia when he convinced her to follow him away from the festival of the blazing sun. Dude.

We’ve interacted with him so much as Vasili. Every day. But that’s not even the worst part.

He knows everything. He charmed Ismark and Ismark has told him everything the party has done, all their plans, everything.

Including that Veiristasia kissed Mae.

Vallaki is now a Strahd city. Baron Vallakovich is dead. Fiona Wachter is in charge. We saved her life and stopped her house from being burned down. We saved Stella and fixed her too.

Strahd knows Veiristasia is at least slightly crushing on Mae, enough to sneak off and kiss her. I’m going back to this point because holy fuck I am in terror.

He knows all the steps Veiri took to try to have Strahd not find out. The only one who knew was Ismark, and Ismark was the one Strahd charmed and got all this information from.

The worst case scenario person he could have charmed was charmed.

Oh, we also found the Tome of Strahd two sessions ago, so guess what Veiri knows happened to the last guy who was in love with Tatyana.

I will be awake all night now; simply laying in my dread.

A comfort piece, giving Veiristasia a more clerical outfit. (Light cleric of Selune.)

Drawing her brings me joy. My lovely moon/dusk elf. In our Curse of Strahd game they’re the same thing.

Fun symbolic art for my girl. Veiristasia was ripped from her happy home and thrown into hell. If only she wasn’t in a certain reincarnation cycle, maybe life wouldn’t be so awful. Barovia kinda sucks like that.

Barovia has sucked in general so far. Taking my happy sunshine girl and making her cry on the daily, at least three times a day.

(Scared/sad Veiri means no stars or light on her ears and cheeks.)

Curse of Strahd posting, or so I hope. We were promised eventual dinner with the big guy himself, and I’m begging my DM to maybe consider flavoring it as a masquerade ball. Please please please please please-

Veiristasia is decked out in a dragonfly inspired fit, we love backstory stuff and childhood memories. (Both her moms called her their “little dragonfly”)

I actually hate clothing design and this took so much out of my poor little shriveled brain to make, but oh boy, I think it’s tasty.

Strahd probably made sure it was custom made to be perfect because we know the dude is gonna pull out all the stops to try to woo the newest Tatyana incarnation. Sorry she’s not wearing the funny necklace though, but maybe she can go a night without it?

I pulled out a wip from back before my old laptop exploded and spent way too much time on it.

[sleeplesssly]

I don’t know how much this is really considered “Curse of Strahd posting” but in my heart it kinda sorta counts a little, maybe.

A lady from my girl Veiri’s backstory, they hooked up in Waterdeep for like, a week before they both had to go their separate ways. Veiristasia knows her as “Carmilla” but my DM wanted to know if I was chill with changing the name to ‘Lyssa’ or something so he could use her in our campaign? I mean sweet, yeah, let’s add the milf in, I’m down for that. Surely this decision will have no consequences later, right?

(Veiri will explode the moment she sees her, even though their fling was two years ago.)

DnD Curse of Strahd yapping time, because my lack of motivation and malfunctioning laptop have left my art escapades in shambles.

Speaking of shambles, how many shambling mounds just, happen to shamble around Barovia??? Because if Veiri had a nickel for every time she’s encountered a shambling mound in the last four days of being in Barovia, she’d have two nickels. The second one at the Wizard’s Winery nearly bit Ismark in half. Not a great time. The druids got cleared out though.

At least she’s gotten to the point where she actually calls Ismark ‘brother’ now. Even if she doesn’t remember anything about being in Barovia as a toddler, and Ismark was left to cope with the trauma of what he thought was having his adopted little sister be dead for a decade and a half. Oops.

But she is starting to remember a small handful of her past lives with the help of her moon goddess! Very cool! (It’s not very cool, she’s only remembered how she’s died those six times. Though there was some strange memory visions of a really cute priest dude that looks really weirdly similar to Vasili. So there’s that I guess.) Vasili is really cute in her personal opinion, so she’s not complaining. She kinda wonders if he’s like her and is also stuck in an unexplained reincarnation cycle, but she hasn’t had time to try to bring up that conversation. Both the party and Vasili have been busy busy busy.

The party managed to stop Rahadin from killing two manipulated Barovians, and it looks like they’re also about to participate in a coup that Lady Wachter and Vasili are setting up. Not enthusiastically though, this kinda feels like we just, don’t have a choice but to participate. The current baron is awful. The Sun Festival, or whatever it is, is in two days. We have tea with the baron in one day. It feels like we are really close to making choices we can’t go back from.

At least poor Veiristasia hasn’t had to deal with Strahd since that one unpleasant bite in the Village of Barovia. Let’s hope it stays that way.

Curse Of Strahd posting~

So we met this toy maker in Vallaki immediately after burning down the carpenters house and getting the bones. Apparently he’s made multiple of these dolls already that look exactly like Veiristasia, and he’s been selling them to the creepy demon arm dude Izek. He’s never seen Veiri before. Vasili thought Veiri’s terrified reaction was humorous and bought the last one for a gold piece. Veiri let him keep it so she didn’t have to look at it anymore.

I decided to draw the doll!

[sleeplesssly]

She’s my moon elf light cleric, I love her. I have never posted my art anywhere and I figured I like this one enough to post it. Don’t know when I’ll do it again, but that’s fine by me. She is our Curse Of Strahd’s Ireena replacement. I have no idea how this will impact the story. 👍
