#Exaltober 2023

2010, markers vs. 2023, Photoshop

I've always loved Kaveri's Anima banner, with the golden arrows, burning with purple fire, falling to earth around her. Shame you don't get to see it very often. ;)

Kaveri is a badass and does one-handed pushups as part of her wake-up workout routine. Anjali is a meddling big sister. <3

I have no idea how long this comic will go, I make no promises that it's a long-running thing, or even that it'll get a real and/or complete story arc of any kind. But I'm having fun with it so far, so you get more.

Last year's prompts here!

Don't diss the Night Caste's stealth and/or larceny skills, or you might start 'misplacing' things.

Putting up some random Exalted posts now and then this month as a sort of casual 'Exaltober Lite'. Some of it will be goofy comics like this, some of it will be stand-alone illustrations, and some of it... well, I have a few other things up my sleeve too.

An experimental picture of Anjali sleeping. The shadows came out weird, but I still kind of like it. I always told myself I'd fix it, but it's been long enough that I'm pretty sure I won't.

Rachna doesn't sleep anymore. It's a permanent Infernal trade-off for the charms that give him his absurd running speed. Instead, being in motion is restorative for him. The rest of his mix-and-match little circle still sleeps the normal way, but between a Twilight, a No Moon, a Night Caste, and their pet Air Aspect, they all keep some pretty odd hours.

And Malati, being a Sidereal, comes and goes as she pleases.

Spicy food showdown! Kaveri (Night Caste from Lookshy) and Rachna (Scourge Caste Infernal) square off to see whose taste buds have a higher Resistance score versus the hottest peppers a Twilight farmer can grow. Rook (the farmer in question) and Sayuri (the Air Aspect dragonblood) stand by dubiously, with a pitcher of cold milk on hand.

Note: Hesiesh is the Elemental dragon of Fire. And phaal (spelled various ways) is an intensely hot curry dish.

Exaltober 2023

Anyone know if this is happening again? Anyone got a plan for a list of prompts? I mean, I'm going to be posting Exalted-related stuff next month *anyway*, but I love not being the only one.
