#curse of strahd arrigal

[luckyblackcatxiii]

I love Arrigal so much, even though I know this man would--and most likely will--sell me to Satan for a corn chip. It's been so long since Saverio first met him outside Barovia, that it's great to see him within the Mists. I can't wait to meet him again <3 (and now that we were gifted a bunch of money recently, I'm sure the feeling is mutual)

Arrigal is currently with our party and has been making this arc... interesting, to say the least! I had to sketch another little piece of him, and got carried away!

Guess who had a werewolf curse induced spurt of hair growth! ✨ And then also got his ears pierced during a drunken evening.

Bad Habits - Arrigal and Galen for @obsessivelygalahad

[qusok]

Showed my bestie (one of my future CoS players) artworks of some NPCs. Her opinion:

Ireena: "She looks like a sunshine"

Ismark: "He looks like he was run over by a bulldozer"

Strahd: Se says he's the hottest one. I'm already sorry for her character. "Can I get someone Strahd-like, but not Strahd?"

Arrigal: "He's got some pirate vibes"

Godfrey: "Someone's got their nose stolen"

Victor: "I want skeleton cats, I'm gonna steal them from him"

Vladimir: "He looks like he had some children for breakfast"

Gulthias: "It's like if someone's ass came to life"

The Abbot: Was compared to uhhhhh some creature from some piece of media i don't know and then to Omega Flowey from Undertale

Vargas: "He looks like an evil circus owner"

Doru "He's a CoS player realizing what he got himself into"

Rudolph: "He came straight out of steampunk"

Man I had two whole sessions before I uploaded any Curse of Strahd stuff. More is definitely coming; these are just the two I polished enough to upload!

So Ireena has been pretty busy...she and Quinn actually had a nice heart to heart before heading out to the Wizard of Wines. They're much more on the same page and are pretty amicable now. She also got to punch Arrigal in the face for being a rat bastard.

Mama Eva and her sons, Arrigal and Luvash🫶

I have changed the Vistani in my game to be half bird people. Mama Eva and her sons are chickens because they are protective and parental to their community.

Arrigal is a Silkie rooster and Luvash is balding🫶 (They usually have wing ears but these three don’t because they are part human but shh it’s a secret)

I know there are a lot of weird racist things they did with the Vistani in the OG game. I just want nothing to do with that in a game that I’m playing for fun with my friends. Also I thought it was weird that Vistani were like depicted inherently very magical and evil even though they are human?? I’m not going to make them all evil man cmon☠️stop this nonsense

Im working on making Vistani a playable race. In a one shot I did before the campaign one of my players was a Vistani and I adore them so so much🫶🫶🫶

In the lore I made up, the god of the mists Caligo (who is a big biblically accurate many-faced angel bird lookin thing) takes favor to the Vistani and blessed them with magic and protection. Over the centuries the Vistani grew to be more like their loving god, they even developed a whistle language to communicate through the dense fog they traversed.

Though Strahd still controls who gets to leave, the Vistani can choose to use the mist to go to other planes if they have a strong connection with Caligo.

The type of bird a Vistani is depends of their personality, although it’s common for a family to be similar to each other like Mama Eva and her sons.

If you were always on the go and have high blood pressure you might be a humming bird. If you were curious and mischievous you might be a parakeet. If you were protective and motherly you might be a chicken. You get it.

Vistani have only four fingers on each hand and a tail of feathers. They have humanoid legs and are almost completely covered in feathers except for the hands, feet, face, and belly. So they can cradle and warm the eggs. Yes they lay eggs. Yes it’s inspired by Falin from Dungeon Meshi, my Orcs are also inspired by that show🫶 go watch it if you haven’t

Shit, fuck, I fleshed out Arrigal too much and made him too cool, now I love him and don't want him to be a bastard.

[calebisdrawing]

do you have any plans to draw Arrigal and Luvash? the canon art kinda did them dirty and I’m in love with the way you drew Arabelle!!

That’s very kind of you to say; this is honestly the first I’ve heard any criticism about Arrigal and Luvash’s module art! I’d honestly call them some of the prettier NPCs.

I didn’t have plans to do the Vistani boys but now you’ve got me wondering what I’d do differently…

[calenhads]

we of course had our dinner with strahd session last night on halloween but tell me why my dm went a little wild with it. like okay we all know rhys has a complex childhood friends to almost-lovers to betrayers back to lovers relationship. but tell me why when strahd was like "dessert time!" and brought out PEOPLE for himself and rhys (dhampir moment) my dm was like "are you looking at arrigal" and i was like "yes of course i'm looking at my problematic cancelled husband" and they were like "he's watching with anticipation. you get the sense that he wants you to do this" and rhys who for the past 20 years have avoided drinking blood FAILED HIS SAVING THROW. and one hit k.o.'d this poor innocent stranger in strahd's dining room and my dm has the AUDACITY. THE AUDACITY. to then be like "when you look back at arrigal he's watching you in awe" like okay!!!! okay!!! how am i supposed to handle that!!! and also keep in mind that all of this is happening less than 5 minutes after our paladin successfuly rizzed up not only escher but also some random ratfolk chef with a new york accent named remy working in the kitchens. because the perception roll to see if any of them had rats in their hats was over a 20.

POV: You’re Arrigal last session getting his shit kicked in on all sides. 

Rest in peace my slimy bastard, you will not be missed. 

[baroviablues]

Hey. Tell me about your interpretation of Arrigal Curse of Strahd. One of my players is determined to romance him after meeting him in the tavern, and unfortunately I’ve become moderately obsessed

[vanhelsingapologist]

Your blood, my water.

—

Haven’t drawn him in many moons which means I colored a sketch I’ll never finish.
