He thinks he's above death
Vedan is unusual because it never specifically states he, as a Graveborn, ever died
In fact his story points to makeshift immortality.

I'd like both if you can.
queen spruce
Can do, will do! Gimme a sec to boot up my computer and Krita
queen spruce
Okay! So the main thing you have here is a lack of waist, which is the area between the ribs and the hips, basically the abdominal cavity. In muscular or slightly curvy people this area is defined in a nice inward curve, in some it's straight like what you currently have. this area is much more defined and less smooth in people with little overall weight, muscle, fat, anything. In scrawny people the ribcage is much more defined, and the hips are going to jut out some. The stomach will have a little bit of pooch, because there are still guts in there, but otherwise it's mostly bone. @tight dove
tight dove

ill keep that in mind next time i load up my program and ill fix the mistakes i made.
thanks so much!
queen spruce
you have a pretty good handle on the arms, though I'd make your wrists a little more pronounced. The elbows are nice and knobbled, but there's not a lotta meat in the forearms or upper arms. If he's particularly weak, this is a good idea, but if he's any kind of physical fighter, you might want to give him a little muscle, the forearm is kinda teardrop shaped. I sketched a Niru arm here for a lil ref, but you see how the shape of the different parts are? That's how I learned to draw, seeing shaped in things.https://gyazo.com/81d030d27d75686b1853361dc3f2f611

Here's a quick doodle of the big boi Brutus
queen spruce
oooooooooh wow!! I love how you did the mane and the expression!!
tight dove
@queen spruce I imagine he (the oc) uses corruption magic of some sort instead of using physical strength.
If that helps determine.
Although at the time time, before he turned, he was a big beefy boy.
So I dont want him to be extremely thin either.
Im not sure where to find that balance tho.
queen spruce
Then yeah, it's very likely his arms are very stick like. Niru waves that big scythe around, so I give him a lil muscle
If he used to be beefy, consider giving him a little loose skin. Skin doesn't just snap back into place with rapid weight loss
tight dove
thats true

Make him stand out a lil from other graveborn.

@queen spruce that could be a passive move.. she he infects the enemy with polyps/cancer and iif they ult (a form of overexertion) they pop/exlode doing x% of damage they would have done to their enemies to them.

A passive move makes sense, but maybe as more like poisoning, since that's already a game mechanic

@river bronze i think we already talked about magic and / or magic resistan diseases.. I think with all the healing that goes on which must require some form of cell regrowth that mutations in cancer would probably be. Astonishingly common

That would be an interesting concept
Someone who heals by reversing time
What class would a hero with that ability be 🤔
open swallow
the bronze flight from WoW could probably do that <_<
queen spruce
Maybe but Garion is a character of mine in more than AFK , this is just a form of him. And I'd have to figure out how much they pay their other concept designers and I really, really, would not be comfy giving them free reign with his lore.

@queen spruce i recall, I actually had a conversation about the society's and implications of each group and how much I appreciated a Mauler dispelling the humans are the bestest ever vibes...

@queen spruce see this is why I appreciate Golus is so much. centaurs were at the bottom of the heat often enslaved or kill for fun regularly bullied. Then they turn the tides and beat the s*** out of bear people who were trying to extort them. It was separate story it suggests that the bears are then made gladiators for other people's appreciation. and that a high-ranking centaur allowed one of these gladiators a chance to free his people by doing battle in service of other tribes. Mostly the the only high-ranking centaur we know of is Golus.. So he breaks these people down from their hubris and then after lowest point gives them away out.

A soul forged in sorrow with nothing left to her in the world. This was Shemira in the final months of her life. Her husband had been a renowned healer, but her adoration and respect for him had gone out the window when she heard about the horrific acts of which he'd been accused. Her love soured such that when his execution came, she felt more anger than sadness. Niru had left her alone to care for their son in an uncaring world.
It wasn't long after Niru's execution that the fevers took hold on her boy, Silvestre. Had Niru been present, Shemira was sure that he could've done something. She did everything she could, calling on all the best remaining physicians of Esperia and keeping vigil with silent prayers at the child's bedside. Her efforts, however, were not enough. After his burial, she felt as if she had nothing left to live for. There was no longer any reason to go about her days as she had before. She began spending almost every waking hour next to the grave of her son, sometimes filling the cemetery with a haunting wail, sometimes staring trancelike at the headstone for hours on end. She stopped taking food more often than not, and her face became hollow, her expression blank.
One day as she sat beside the grave, watching the last weak rays of sunlight kiss her son's name carved in the stone, she heard her name. She couldn't locate the source of the voice, but it seemed to be right next to her.

She froze, recognizing the voice as that of her late husband. There was so much to say, so much to ask. Where could she begin? Exhaling slowly, she chose the one question that really mattered. “Why are you here?” She grimaced and tears flooded down her cheeks when she heard the answer. How could Silvestre possibly be saved at this point? A glimmer of hope had been placed in front of her from nowhere. The thought that it might wink out terrified her more than anything. She didn't want to listen, but it was impossible. If there was somehow some chance, she would have to be strong enough to take it. “Prove it” she forced out from between gritted teeth.
The ground in front of her began to swell. She could feel tiny vibrations from the ground, as if something was disturbing the soil underneath the surface. First came a hand, rising through the dirt, then the pallid face and more until finally her son, or some form of him, stood before her. She struggled not to scream or pass out. A mix of awe, horror, and relief was pulling at each corner of her mind, threatening to tear it apart. She still knew what this meant for her, however. Direction. Purpose. She would never let any ill befall the boy again. She relayed this to Niru, who explained that the only way to be truly reunited was to cross through the veil of death and rejoin them on the other side.
She didn't hesitate. She gave Niru a simple, short command and felt a sharp coldness spread through her chest and into her limbs. She drifted into what felt like a heavy sleep, content in the reassuring presence of the ones she needed most. When she awakened, she had found a kind of happiness she never thought she'd feel again.
“Don't pretend to care about something you're not willing to die for.”
"First came a hand, then the pallid face"
That's not very orb

@river bronze I think it would be really fun to try to find a way to work the Dan and to be fluffy soft tones of a Wilder. . The girls are obviously mice
azure wraith
Like they represent change and transformation or smth
azure wraith
Oh yeah mice work too

fading swallow
So trying to draw claws and pointed fingers/jagged chins and noses
Is a fun excursion
sullen bone
I don't have any afk arena fanart tho

I want to do realism but I keep drifting back to exaggerated proportions bc they're so much fun to do
fading swallow
I say I'm a realism artist but I keep just

Writing from a blind person's point of view is really interesting to do.
sullen bone
Do it for 
viral hollow
I do think a piano or organ or maybe even a harp would be best for Vedan. . Something ornate and large and only available to the wealthy nobility. . . Something that is expressive but distinctly apart from you.. . . Man something I the family for ages.. . something is parents or grandparents or nurses taught him to play. .
river bronze
Lmao that reminds me of the blind guy in skyrim who has a book hes writing in front of him but when u open it the pages are blank
fading swallow
I mean while Vedan is a noble
I don't think he's greedy
I think him prideful of course
sullen bone
Yeah piano works best in my opinion
fading swallow
But I don't think he has to impress other people or has to have the best
river bronze
Vedan just wants immortality and a high position
fading swallow
Vedan playing piano but he's just laying on the lid with no arm, and each key press is a bat jumping on the key.

bats are fun af to draw

@fading swallow he is exceedingly self-absorbed. I feel like doing his actions and his clothing she portrays the character who not only wants to be in charge he wants to have so much power he could flaunt it. He wants everybody to bow and couch now. That's how I read it though.. could be wrong
silent glade
Uneerworld and Hellboy
river bronze
Yeah vedan cares more about power than money imo
silent glade
Underworld*
river bronze
I need to watch hellboy
fading swallow
@viral hollow He never subjugated either of the girls though. He specifically gave them gifts and clothes, treated them with kindness. It was a means to an end, but what he wants is the best for himself. Use what he can to get what he needs and fuck everything and everyone else.
silent glade
Hellboy is decent and I enjoy it for the nostalgia
river bronze
I've only seen the promotion stuff and I already love
sullen bone
Dont watch the new one its shit
fading swallow
Vedan could have easily pressed or tortured the girls into service
river bronze
Oh no
sullen bone
🤔
silent glade
@sullen bone a new version being bad never stopped me. I just want to see it to judge it no matter what.
sullen bone
Lore
river bronze
Tbh isa could kick vedans ass so that might be why he didnt
sullen bone
Well yeah maybe if you are a fan i understand that
sullen bone
Thats why i watched it too
fading swallow
Arcanist guild said as much
sullen bone
But if you expect to see a good movie
silent glade
@sullen bone I'm not a die hard fan or a fan. I just want to look at it.
I expected HTTYD 3 to be good and it was horse shit so like.
Test.
fading swallow
He turned their lives around though- literally.
silent glade
Yeet*
fading swallow
Hey I just put in a suggestion for a lore channel in #classic-suggestions. It would be neat if it was upvoted or considered
Copypasta
If you think Lore deserves its own channel
river bronze
I wonder if vedans sociopathy is a product of his childhood or if he was just born like that
silent glade
Writing is it's own artistic venture imo
fading swallow
I assume he was born that way
silent glade
He was probably born into nobility.
viral hollow
@fading swallow I don't believe for a second that he wouldm have just let them die except that one of them shows prowess in magic ish things
silent glade
And so grew up that way.
fading swallow
While I agree that it's art to write
Lore conversations aren't necessarily art.
viral hollow
Writing is a form of art
river bronze
Him having cold and distant parents or a lack of love growing up could also be a culprit
silent glade
Vedan would absolutely have let both the girls die had Isabella not shown magic.
river bronze
Yeah
fading swallow
^
silent glade
He literally did not care.
azure wraith
I like how Vedan is the most discussed character here
fading swallow
The whole of the aristocracy isn't Vedan tier either
silent glade
They were presumably peasants and beneath him. Iirc in that story he watched almost gleefully as they were being attacked.
viral hollow
exactly so he doesn't get any brownie points for being nice to them instead of being manipulative at knifepoint they didn't have an option but to go with him.
For some reason it reminds me of management saying " nobody put a gun to your head"
silent glade
He offered and they had absolutely no reason to not do that though.
fading swallow
I didn't say brownie points- I said he could have been absolutely awful and still gotten what he wanted.
viral hollow
When talking about stress casualties
silent glade
He didn't force them. Iirc.
river bronze
He could still have grown to care about the girls in a sense tho. Sociopaths are incapable of empathy but they're still capable of other emotions
fading swallow
Oh he cares at minimum for Isabella
viral hollow
@river bronze I like this theory too
fading swallow
He needs her for Immortality
Ergo she's important
And since she's a package set with her sister
silent glade
🤔
river bronze
Hes already a vampire tho he could just ditch them now
viral hollow
@fading swallow and if you're going to have to live with somebody forever wouldn't you rather they like you?
sullen bone
Yeah he's just a big egoist
viral hollow
@river bronze she's too powerful he has to keep her as an ally
fading swallow
It's questionable whether or not he could get another.
river bronze
🤔
fading swallow
Especially of Isabella's quality
silent glade
Literally did a quick search
Not all psychopaths or sociopaths lack empathy or other emotions.
queen spruce
nods
silver flare
i genuinely love coming in here seeing lore conversations ily guys
silent glade
And when I was reading about psychosis it also.. talked about this
Empathy and what not
fading swallow
But especially for graveborn- not all of them love each other, care about each other or are even friends.
silent glade
But that was a while back
fading swallow
Thoran and Edwin are on the war path with each other
viral hollow
@river bronze could you imagine becoming immortal and then the witch child who helped you get their leaves and someone convinces them that yeah that guy is actually really bad and she decides to attack him?
silent glade
I'd have to reread esp if I have a character who suffers from it and relate+ disorders.
