Here is another sneak peak of the picture I’m working on. The waffle crew! I can’t help but miss these guys some times. 

[the-ruler-of-rabbits]

Paultin gets the Ring of Winter again, in Waterdeep, in the place where he knows he's not safe but he hoped, for once in this Perkins-damned campaign, that he'd be given a break.

(He doesn't think about how by Perkins's terms, managing to unattune to it in the first place might be considered a break, managing to get out of there without having actually killed his friends by his own hand instead of just being useless and worthless and another fucking burden for them to carry- he doesn't think about how that might be mercy. He doesn't.)

Nope, focusing on the now, not the Perkins. (It won't change anything, whispers a nasty little voice in the back of his head. Perkins is focusing on you.)

He stands up as fast as he can, tries to keep his hands away from the Ring even as he can't look away, tries to keep the note of panic out of his voice as he asks where the guy got that?

The reply is meaningless. He knows what the Ring would be saying if he put it on. Frosted golden promises of a world to himself, a world he could shape to his every whim, and all he has to do to enter the doorway is step over the bodies of his friends. And the more he listens, the more reasonable it sounds.

And then the Ring is on him, and it's so cold it feels like it's burning, and everything fades until Evelyn. He cares about Evelyn so goddamn much. If it's a choice between a five foot nothing blonde paladin with an axe nearly as big as she is who has a habit of going on annoying as hell tangents about Lathander or the sun, well. There are spells to help with darkvision.

Evelyn tells him to put the Ring down, and- and- he does, it's off, he's himself, it's okay, and he can ignore the way his hands shake at the impression of a smile from the Game Master he shouldn't have any idea exists. As long as he has a drink.

He shouldn't keep drinking. He's tried to quit before, though, and- No. He's thought about trying to quit.

Eh, that's close enough, right?

Regardless, here he fucking is, standing in the middle of the street next to the woman he's too much of a coward to say he even cares about unless it's her life on the line with his hands clenched into fists while it snows and snows and snows in midsummer and he can't look away from the Ring of Winter.

You could pick it up again, he hears, and knows those words aren't directed at him. He flips off the sky anyway - the No he couldn't! I wouldn't let him! is cold (hah) comfort.

Oh, you don't want to? Hisses into his mind, and he is so goddamn done with how fast Perkins pulled on the Ring voice. It's like he thinks Paultin's dumb enough to forget it was his voice whispering to him through that horrific time in the Shadowfell he'd spent starving to death and drowning in apathy, his hand that lifted the sword that killed his parents, that if he puts on an accent and talks sweetly enough through shining frozen gold Paultin will forget all about the hell Perkins put him through and jump at the chance for a happy ending.

His hands are beginning to hurt. He doesn't want to unclench his fists, though, because he knows he's weak, and right now he'd rather freeze to death and break his hands than risk opening them for Perkins to drop the Ring into like it's a gift.

Paultin, in case it wasn't clear by this point, hates Perkins.

He hates Perkins more than anyone he's ever met in this world, even Van-fucking-Richten, and Paultin turned down a slow-falling spell to use that guy as a crash pad.

Well. Maybe Perkins is on par with Van Dickhead. Still a total asshole, though.

"Are you okay?" Evelyn asks, looking concerned and not terrified or furious like his mind likes to paint her at night when he hasn't had enough to drink yet for blackness to take over.

He half-shrugs stiffly, still unable to look away from the Ring.

"We need to destroy that thing."

Gods and greater, he needs a drink.

💍@inktober Day 1💍

I’m gonna try to do Inktober and Goretober this year! I will sometimes do one or both but I’ll always draw something even if it’s just a sketch. Anyway today’s prompt was “ring” and my mind immediately jumped to my favorite vistani bard Paultin Seppa (will I ever stop drawing ring of winter art? Who knows man) I decided to try out some water colors and I like how it turned out, I did use metallic gold and blue for the eyes and ring tho.

[kuridongo]

that’s the wafflecrew!

this is the piece I did at the beginning of 2018 for the Dice Camera Zine, which has unfortunately been cancelled.

I learned a lot about watercolors with this piece, and I’m quite proud of it.

Made Gacha's of the Waffle Crew! uwu

[svampirebait]

I may have done a really embarrassing happy dance when they showed the ponies i made 😭😭😭

[thewannabeknight]

The Wafflecrew has three brain cells between all of them and Diath has at LEAST two and a half of those.

Purloque’s Munt Cake

As soon as Purloque mentionned his new Munt Cake, I fell in love with it. A spotted dick-like cake with smoked apricots and black pepper glazing? That’s gotta be amazing. So how do we do this? Well, there’s not much research to do, everything is pretty self-explanatory. Just grab your favourite spotted dick recipe, twist it a little, and get busy bakin’. Heads up though, you will need to let the fruit soak overnight before you can start on the cake. You will also need a pretty large and deep pan, because this is a cake that needs to be steamed; it is a fun process, but it’s also a bit more involved than just popping it in the oven.

Ingredients:

For the cake:

-150g currants (Zante currants/Corinthian raisins)

-5 apricots

-300g (2 ½ cups) flour

-10g (1 tbsp) baking powder

-1/4 tsp salt

-150g (1 ¼ cup) beef suet

-75g (just under half a cup) brown caster sugar

-18cl (¾  cup) milk

-3 tbsp Bourbon

-Liquid smoke

-2 tsp vanilla extract

For the glazing:

-125g (1 cup) powdered sugar

-3cl (1/8 cup) lemon juice

-1 tbsp butter

-Black pepper

 Assembling the cake

1. Pour the currants and the Bourbon in a sealable container (like a jar with a lid or a Tupperware box), and add in water until the currants are just submerged. Close the lid and let them soak overnight. For the apricots, cut them in two and remove the pit, then put them into the same kind of container with water, vanilla extract and two drops of liquid smoke. If you are using canned apricots, use the juice in the can instead of water. Close the container and let soak overnight.

2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, the salt and the baking powder.

3. Add in the suet and mix with your hand until it looks like bread crumbs.

4. Mix in the caster sugar. It can be hard to find outside of the UK, especially brown caster sugar, so it might be easier if you just run regular brown sugar through a food processor. Just be careful not to overdo it or you will end up with powdered sugar.

5. Drain the currants and add them into the mixture.

6. Mix in the milk, a little at a time, while continuously stirring.

7. Grab the bowl that you will be using to bake the cake. Grease it well with butter, and line its bottom with the drained apricot slices. Pour the batter over them.

Baking the cake

Now the fun part: rigging some kind of contraption to steam the cake. If your bowl has a lid, that will be easier. If not (mine doesn’t), the usual method is to cover the bowl with a sheet of baking paper and two more sheets of tin foil, pressing them well all along the rim of the bowl to seal it as best as you can. Next, wrap a long piece of string around and under the rim of your bowl, and tie it in a knot at both ends to create a makeshift handle that will be of tremendous help to pull the bowl out of the pan at the very end.

Speaking of the pan, you will need one that is large enough to fit the bowl in, and deep enough so that you can close it with a lid without touching the bowl. Strix probably uses a cauldron. You need to place something at the bottom so that the bowl is not in direct contact with the pan; an upside-down saucer or a small ramekin will be enough. Put your bowl inside the pan, on top of the saucer, and pour in water until it reaches halfway along the bowl. Put the pan on high heat until the water starts boiling, then put a lid on it and let simmer until the cake is cooked, about 1h40.

 After the cake is baked

Carefully remove the pan from the heat, and the bowl from the pan (that’s when the string handle comes in handy!). Take off the tin foil and baking paper, and let the cake cool down in the bowl for 5 minutes, while you prepare the glazing.

In a small bowl, mix in the powdered sugar, the lemon juice and the butter until smooth and creamy. Put a large plate upside-down on the cake bowl, and carefully flip it so that the Munt Cake gently falls on the plate.

If you are going to serve it right away, pour the entire glazing on the cake. If not, just pour half of it, wait until the cake cools down to room temperature, and pour the over half.

Just before serving, use a pepper mill to grind some pepper on top of the slices. It gives a bit of a kick to the cake, so taste it as you go, making sure you don’t add too much.

More of my art made it to be a wearable which is always a treat to see! The Waterdeep City Guard's badge that #wafflecrew member Diath Woodrow got a couple episodes back is available for everyone at Beadle&Grimm’s web store! Great work by @HanCholoDesigns bringing it to life.

See you next Tuesday Waffle Fam. It's good to be back. 😉

🖤❄️RoW Paultin❄️🖤

‪I made this back in January but, I didn’t get a chance to post it till now. ‪Thank you to everyone on the Dice Camera Action subreddit who helped me get the quotes for the background! ‬The RoW arch is my all time favorite from DCA, Paultin would’ve made a great ruler of his domain of dread. Here’s a link to the speedpaint‬.

I just realized it's December 2nd, which means it's #dndecember time! Beginning the month by drawing the #wafflecrew one by one, starting with a younger itty bitty Strix-like pre-meeting Diath and the rest of the crew Strix. In all honesty, I think I made her a little too clean. . #artistsoninstagram #dicecameraaction #Strix https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq566CKBUdr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kuqx3e892d00
