#the uncrucified
The 3rd compilation of sketches for my Exalted Art Challenge arrives early for Patreon Patrons! Exploring concepts for the God of Gambling, First Age heroes, and more. Here are some of my favorite picks, with alternates and creative notes at the post.
Find the post here.
PLUS enjoy a bonus sketch of the Plentimon of Dice’s poker face. I had a good giggle imagining what he’d look like while playing a game. His innocuous inky form would make it very hard to read his tells!

The Righteous Devil form isn’t merely a martial art, but a spiritual reckoning. When you draw on this art, you’re pulling from that turmoil deep down, from all the sins you’ve ever committed, and all the sinners you’ve ever reckoned with. All that roiling guilt and anger and painful understanding refined and channeled into the flame of your soul, of your weapons.
It took me years to even begin to master it…and it almost destroyed me. Only one who can understand their own sins can channel what it means to be not only a Devil, but a Righteous one.

Exalted Art Challenge - 2 - Regional Fashion
I wonder sometimes if I would even recognize myself back then. I still remember the soft light of Gem’s crystals and the teeming underground marketplace that never slept. As a slave of Iblan, I was dressed in attire to represent the household of my master, an aging master goldsmith.
I owned no finery of my own, not even the bangles I wore which served as an example of Iblan craftmanship for all to see and admire, for even their slaves must convey everything about their stature as Gem’s famed goldsmiths. Instead of gems sewn into my shawl as any fine lady of Gem might own, mine was painted and embroidered to mimic gems. I was a pale imitation of what a noble Iblan lady might be.

bonus sketch under the cut
I was hoping my Secret Santa might pick someone like Khazan! It’s so fun to see him getting some art love. I adore what Jadehand did with him! “Cheeky dad” describes exactly how he is when Kalara meets him. This art has captured his larger than life spirit and big smile. I love it so!
I really need to keep writing so you all can meet him properly in the sequel story I started way back during NaNoWriMo of long ago. Thanks for the handsome gift and fun bonus sketch, @jadehand ! I am inspired all over again!
