Earlier this year, my friend Ben Zweifel and I did a style exercise where we imagined a pretend #BuffytheVampireSlayer game. I created the character illustrations and text box and Ben created the environment. It was a fun experiment and allowed us to work outside our usual styles.

Oh ho ho ho! My idea for a more humanoid version of Lace

A humanoid version of Lace from Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Wizard, based on something like dunamancy from the D&D/Critical Role crossover materials. That would give them some time manipulation flavor that I feel is representative of the Drifter’s power.
