“Fragments of a Scattered Faith”

Just finished up this piece inspired by Edér and his brother, Woden. ❤️

Edér — a blond, bearded man in scale mail sits exhausted and dirty on top of a chunk of greenish crystal (adra.) He smokes his pipe, eyes lost in thought. Behind him cast in fiery light is the shadow of another man sitting back to back with him, holding a Readceran standard. The top part is a half-risen sun, framing a vorlas plant. In contrast to the warm, fiery glow, the lighting of the other side of Edér is cold and green.

Xoti (is never) alone.

A piece I finished the other day! Here’s to Xoti, our Very Normal Girl.

A woman spattered with blood sits on dark ground, wreathed in fiery light. She looks in quiet wonderment down at her shining lantern. Two translucent, golden spirits float above her, tethered to the lantern by thin threads of gold. Meanwhile, shadowy arms reach up towards the lantern from below. Behind them is the dark ground illuminated in red, upon which there is a subtle symbol of Eothas.

“Think upon your promises… and die.”

Captain Aelfyr of the Steel Garrote and the Burned Queen, Woedica.

(Pose Reference: @adorkastock.com)

#myart #avowed #avowedspoilers #avowedfanart #pillarsofeternity #woedica #avowedart

Against a fiery background, Captain Aelfyr reaches towards the viewer with a small, encouraging smile. But her eyes are bloodshot and her skin marred by visible signs of the Dreamscourge. Her outstretched hand is also stained with blood. A blackened, but golden goddess Woedica looms tall and smoldering behind her. Her right hand holds Aelfyr by the braid, wrapped around her neck as if it’s a noose. Meanwhile, her left hand burns a fiery hole into the heart of Aelfyr’s armor, melting the metal. The statue is also subtly infected by mycelium.

Thank you, Jay! I loved working on this so much. 🥹✨

Jay Turner @silopolis.bsky.social · Jun 12

This Tumblr post by @ellekhen.bsky.social just about killed me.

This is very much how I pictured Marius' mental state in my mind as I wrote him, and it vibes with my own experience with panic attacks myself.

Awesome, incredible, amazing, and deeply human work.

Oh my gosh 🥹, this is such an honor to read!!! Marius is so special to me and his personal quest was captivating. I’m so glad this resonated with you and could do some justice to the care and love you had for him as a character!

Neve wears a phoenix-inspired cyberpunk dress with flame-like feathered sleeves and a form-fitting, low-cut red dress. Her prosthetic leg is shaped like a golden cobra. She wears a translucent, blue fascinator and golden claws and cyberware. Lingering by the bar in a foggy, cool-lit nightclub, she is looking down with a small smirk at a holo call.

After being gently rejected by Edér… it really makes the little Kai romance in Avowed so healing in retrospect. :’)

Curious if anyone who played POE first way back then felt that way?

Stell and her party make their way towards Galawain's Tusks. Yatzli arranges an 'accident.'

Against a starry, purplish twilight sky, we see the back of Kai the coastal aumaua holding Stell, though we can only see her fungus antlers from over his broad shoulders.

New fic! Here's some Captain Aelfyr x Female Court Augur Envoy backstory (in case you wanted to hurt a little.)

A close up of the redheaded Captain Aelfyr in her full golden plate armor, but cropped so that we cannot see her eyes or below her shoulders. What we can see is that there is rough, green lichen growing down her cheeks.

The Gardener’s Vengeance (feat. my envoy, Stell)

Who is she shooting at? Why is she crying? I suppose only time will tell… 🥲

#avowed #avowedfanart #myart #avowedenvoy #envoy #sapadal #godlike #myenvoy #artistsofbluesky #avowedart

Stell is a dark-haired elf godlike with branch-like fungus growing in a crown from her head, as well as gilled growths around her eyes instead of brows. She has luminous bright blue freckles. She stands amid what seems like a dust storm, a long, flowing cloak blowing around her. She aims a pistol crackling with electricity at the camera in her right hand, while her left hand is drawn back with the bright white light of Sapadal’s Thorn. Beneath a furrowed brow she wears a determined and baleful look upon her face, though tracks of tears run down it. While one eye is her normal yellow, the other is the dark blue of her god. White lines float off of this portion of her face, evoking the appearance of Sapadal’s own face as the god works through her.

#avowed #avowedfanfic #avowedfanfiction #marius #mariusavowed #avowedmarius #mariusxenvoy #envoyxmarius

Marius the dwarf stares somewhere off screen, a sort of incredulous and puzzled smile on his face. He has a fur cape, a braided mohawk, and a fluffy beard that ends with twin braids. He has faded facepaint across his eyes. In the background out of focus is a pillar of adra indicating the Avowed campsite, as well as a starry night sky.

Stell and Kai return to the relative safety of Thirdborn to take part in the comforts of its inn... including a much-needed bath.

#KaixEnvoy #avowedkai #avowedfanfic #avowed #avowedfanfiction #avowedspoilers

Stell - a dark-haired elf with a crown of branch-like growths coming out of her head - looks up intently at Kai - a blue/green aumaua. The background is somewhat open-air area of a red wooden building.

ElleKhen @ellekhen.bsky.social · Apr 23

And here’s an alternate version! For these portraits I aimed to evoke the imagery of a panic attack. (Sorry Marius. 🥲)

A bare-chested dwarf hugs himself, braced against the white outlines of hands reaching towards him from the darkness. He has a braided light brown mohawk, beard, and mustache. The background is an agitated splash of fiery color, within which is hidden a haunting echo of himself. Unlike the original picture, Marius is cast in a cooler blue light as contrast against the background.

And here’s a bonus alternate version! For these portraits I aimed to evoke the imagery of a panic attack. (Sorry Marius. 🥲)

A dwarf cast in cool, blue light is haunted by a red, sinister echo of himself. White outlines of hands reach towards him from all angles from the darkness.
