They're going to have soft tacos later :D

Indulging my habit of mooshing my favorite things together so here's Storm harassing Fool from Ghost in the Machine by @venomous-qwille

I'm so sorry it's so silly but I couldn't help myself. Fool is too bedazzled to be left alone and I just know if presented with that costume, Storm could not resist.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it.

I refreshed the Exalted Art Challenge with a couple of new topics and a list of weekly topics for the slow folks like me! We moved right in the middle of this challenge for October, so I only had time to partake in the weekly topics, instead.  Still, this challenge is always a lot of fun and a great excuse to experiment with different methods and styles!

Read more about the lore of each drawing and watch time lapses of their creation here.

Week 1 - Your PC - Laughing Fox, my Changing Moon Lunar

Week 2 - A Meal In Creation - A Feast for The Plentimon of Dice

Week 3 - Fave Charm - Archery (plus some exploration of Kalara's anima)

Week 4 - Fave Fashion - A Chiaroscuro Glass Gown for Kalara

*Clears throat* Hi! I apologize if this has bothered or disturbed you from something and I also apologize if I asked in a bad moment right now😅 but may I ask if the background/other characters will get their own design's too? :> just curious-! Cause I've only noticed sun n' moon have their own design's so I was a little curious if the other characters like Lorraine, William and Gregory will have their own design's too? I also loved the newest chapter you've done-! 😄

Oh it's no problem at all, thank you so much for the ask! <3 And I'm so glad to hear you liked the latest chapter!! :D I've been meaning to draw them, I will definitely post the designs I have in mind for Gregory, Lorraine, William, John and other characters relevant to the story of LDR! :) Also btw I love your LDR art so much!! <3

I find it kind of hilarious that there are so little posts about biomes 3 and 4 because everyone's too busy bring bisexual on main to help Melinoë with her task; I'm really surprised because biome 3's boss is what the fandom has been clamoring for since Hades 1's early access!

Meanwhile, I've been beating up Chronos since night 10 with a fun combo I'm dubbing the Grandma Special and am vibrating rapidly because the callbacks! The level design! The enemies! Flashbacks! Aaaaaaah!

so yeah you could say i've been killing time.

Calibration is upon us, which means the Exalted Secret Santa is nigh! I'm offering two different flavors of Kalara this year - Solar vs Abyssal! Check out the details behind the cut.

Kalara Vadras, The Uncrucified Solar Exalted, Eclipse Caste, Righteous Devil

A passionate Merchant Prince (though most people refer to her as a 'Merchant Queen'), Kalara can often be found traveling Creation using her charm and wit towards the cause of achieving a more equitable economy and the abolishment of slave labor throughout the threshold.

While she has a friendly public face, her enemies whisper of her spy network, Kalara's "Tongues", who work quietly throughout Creation eliminating threats to her ambitions for Creation.

For more reference, see Kalara's full bio for more pics, etc.

Art Notes

She has a scar from a failed crucifixion on her left hand only, not both hands

NSFW art is ok! She's quite famous for her tastes in brothels and being a free spirit with multiple unattached partners, but please nothing too hardcore into chains. This lady likes luxury. Tis silk or nothing!

Fashion

Feel free to play with her hair and clothing style without sticking too close to the ref. Kalara mixes things up a lot to either blend in on her travels OR to make a big impression, depending on the occasion. She's quite the fashionista! Note that in her art she's dressed in everything from a Chiaroscuro glass gown to more casual wear with her green shirt. The look with the teal and gold with the jacket resting on her shoulders is her signature look, however.

Iconic Anima

Her totemic anima involves chains of sunlight wrapping around her arms and ankles as the links fall off one by one. Spikes of sunlight, which do not harm her, appear in her hands and melt away. Behind her, a phoenix with a long, trailing tail rises up behind her.

Weapons & Combat Style

Kalara prefers not to let others onto the fact that she's as powerful as she is and has created a whole other persona named Koh to do her gunslinging. She and Koh are rumored to be lovers, much to her amusement.

However, if she's ever backed into a corner as Kalara, her fighting style involves acrobatic agility while dual-wielding two Prayer Pieces made of jade and orichalcum with the punishing glory of the Righteous Devil martial art.

--------

The Crucified Dreamer Abyssal Exalted, Moonshadow Caste, Deathknight of the Lover

This alternate universe version of Kalara spends her time wandering Creation nurturing revolutionaries and visionaries...then leading them to their beautiful deaths after they follow her pursuing their foolish dreams. Those she finds useful, she scouts as possible servants for her Deathlord, The Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears.

Unlike Kalara, the Dreamer was never saved from her death by crucifixion by The Unconquered Sun. Rather, the Lover came to her in her final moments after a torturous three days and nights and offered her a chance to equalize all in the embrace of death.

Her full name is The Crucified Dreamer Veiled in Truth.

Art Notes

The Dreamer has crucifixion wounds in both hands and both feet that never heal. She tends to 'dress them up' with jewelry and henna.

NSFW art is ok! She's very BDSM-themed as-is. You know she gets up to some kinky vampire stuff!

Fashion

The Dreamer prefers gold and finery usually with a subtle skeletal theme. Gold, fire opals, and garnets suit her well. The three tears below her eye, however, are not makeup, but etched by blood ink into her skin when the Lover 'welcomed' her as an Abyssal. They traced the last tears she would ever shed.

Weapons & Combat Style

The Dreamer doesn't usually engage in direct combat, much preferring to seduce her victims, but if she is driven to conflict, she utilizes the Laughing Wounds martial art, a set of bejeweled claws, and a segmented whip sword with a blade like sharp gold vertebra as it unfurls.

I have no references for her whip sword or battle claws yet, so go wild with your interpretation!

Iconic Anima

The Dreamer's aura flares as her crucifixion wounds seep streams of blood that form tendrils and wrap around her arms and legs. The blood also pours to the earth where scarlet Spider Lilies spring up from the droplets. Behind her, a glowing red mandala materializes with the lotus pointed downwards.

I have no reference of this anima yet, so feel free to go wild with your interpretation from that description!

That's it for now! I hope my Secret Santa has fun. I can't wait to see what they’ll choose!
