*2nd Inquisition

Yeah yeah I know I know…

KP Upadhyayula @kp11studios.bsky.social · 6d

I feel a VtM show about the Camarilla allowing The Inquisition into a city to take care of its Anarch population in the name of fighting the Sabatt…

And the Anarchs fighting them off and kicking them out of the city…

is very much needed right now.

A little bonus banner showcasing all the photos I took of the amazing @erenangiolini.bsky.social during our headshot session at Gen Con!

I’m really proud of this set & how they all turned out, not least bit because of how easy Eren made it for me 💖

Can’t wait for more exciting shoots in 2025!

KP’s fun fact:

Every TTRPG I've ever created has had Desi influence in some form or another!

Be it in their their mannerisms, their appearance, etc.

Especially name!

Bijli, Aalyah, Ojas, Azad, Urumu, Santosh, Shurvi, & on & on!

Each has a meaning & reason to be named such!

Picture of me, an Indian man, in a red and gold sherwani, which is unbuttoned to the waist, tied together by a fancy red and gold sash. My hairy chest is exposed and you see I’m wearing ornate necklaces around. I’m leaning against something behind, my left hand hovering sensually by my mouth while my right hand rests on my hip.

I’m famed by two large red curtains on either side of me
