This image I made is only comprehensible to the four people (counting myself) currently in call for Blades in the Dark, and I will steadfastly refuse to provide the rest of you nerds with ANY context past the image caption.
@swiff god this is so amazing
@swiff "tucked behind one ear" it's tucked THROUGH it
@byttyrs no the linework is a little misleading but that's his inner ear
@byttyrs but i want you to know i'm furiously scribbling that down as an idea for something in the future
@swiff who's the hot guy
@byttyrs one of my characters, Wolkir Karstus, a veteran fighter, factory foreman, working class hero, and rat cultist
@byttyrs he wields a poleaxe/polearm when things are serious
@byttyrs it wasn't deliberate but in retrospect he absolutely is
@swiff scruffy rat cultist polearm wielder
@swiff I almost called him a "sexy rat man" when I asked who he was
@swiff then I realized that, despite having rat man energy, he doesn't really have rat face
@byttyrs that is the goal!
lemme find the full body lineart that I colorized for my reference image
@byttyrs Wolkir "Gryzun" Karstus, Renowned Rough-Lad, Adherent to the Rat, Son of Skovlan, and the muscle-half of the infamous "Karstus Twins."
@swiff flawless vibes
@byttyrs this is such high praise thank you mads
@swiff this is every plan a pc with brawn and access to explosives has ever come up with
The mystery
