Linework for the Unclean member of the Anathema. Sorry about the contrast beating I gave this, but I've come to like the effect. After a bit of refining, who knows how well things may turn out?

The Solar (center) is Gatzka Twinblade, a Twilight Caste who is cursed with an unnatural talent for sorcery. The creatures in the background are an homage of a creature that is sadly missing from the second edition (feel free to tell me if this is untrue), the Greater Minions of the Eyeless Face. The poor guy in the foreground is another character from my game, a Dragon-Blooded who "fell victim" to the evil anathema, and serves as an extra battery for essence.

According to the Immaculate texts, those unfortunates tainted with this curse were said to be incapable of seeing the value of a soul. They willingly sacrificed others, made pacts with demons (or worse things) and even bartered their very souls away in order to quell their insatiable desire for knowledge. This dehumanizing process left whatever remained of them irrevocably tainted, hence the title Unclean.

Special thanks to the original creator of the GMotEF picture, found in The Book of Three Circles. These are nowhere near as awesome as the one they created.

I can't wait to see this when it's finished. The monsters look pretty brutal.

Thanks! The hard part is trying to get them to look maleable. They are supposed to look sorta irridescent as well, but hopefully I can do that.
:icongenjibunbun:
well, you did an awesome job!

The very interesting difference in Exalted 2nd ed is the inclusion of the Solar Circle spell where you can invoke the Eyeless face by plunging into the black summoning pool yourself.

You emerge changed, indistinct of feature, glossy white skinned and with the ability to percieve or communicate through any of your lesser or greater servants, or even getting the power to transfer your soul and exaltation to a different minion, effectively destroying your previous body.

Yep, I remember this one, it actually intrigued me.
But most of the Solar Circle spells are pretty scary :fear:

This one is particularly impressive.

I am a big fan of the eye-less minions too

I suppose they are a bit like tofu - both in terms of concept and texture
:icon5daysmourning:
Thank you, Korvus! I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who likes them. I always wondered if the minions are connected to the creatures that live in the caverns underneath Gethamane.

Oh myyyy, I like this scene. The composition just make it very story-book/epic-like. I like this o.o

I was glad that I could keep the look of sepia as strong as I did with this one. Thanks for the compliment.
