Croaky-art! My commision! More vampires!

[kseenaa]

But first.. This has been a cleaning day off doooom!!! Now it feels soooo nice though. The entire apartment shines. I actually found my desk under all the shit I had on it. And I found a couple off bills I hadn't paid. (Damn!) None where late though. (Phew.) peting73 was awesome. He hates cleaning as much as I do, but he is much much quicker and did most of the work today. And to top it off, it was laundry day today. Bah. That, however, ended up on my plate. And what with cleaning out the entire apartment, there was really a shitload of laundry. Geez... o.O All done now, and it will be dry and nice tomorrow. :-) And after that, we'll have to borrow a washing-machine somewhere, since we won't be able to get to ours for an entire month. Woooe... *sigh*

If you wonder why you get random comments on week-old posts, thats just me. :-P I am working my way through my f-list. I am so behind on it after that wedding, it ain't even funny. :-P

One thing that is funny and sure as hell put a HUGE smile on my face was that I got an email from croaky, the Ninjapirate with the commission I ordered from her a couple of days ago. :-) Remember the last one? ;-)

Well, this vampire I played for two years straight, every other saturday. She was an awesome character to play.

A Ventrue vampire, she was not like everyone else in her clan. Ventrue vampires usually choose blue bloods, if you know what I mean? Woman and men from old noble families and/or rich families. Lili von Carlos on the other hand was a self-made woman, that had worked her way up from the streets. Started out as a bouncer in shady clubs being quite strong, she worked herself up to better clubs. Got friends among other bouncers. Started a security firm. That grew. And grew. She discovered she was quite the ruthless business woman as well as a good fighter. And even though she was the head of her firm, she still went to clubs etc to pick a fight. And so. Her sire, Cherie von Carlos found Lili and made her a Ventrue vampire and a member of the von Carlos family. Lili was not an old vampire by any means. Only 80 years old. When she ended up in Borås to help another one of the von Carlos family (her blood-cousin), Amadeus von Carlos, she fell in love with him and he with her.

They not only drank each others blood (and had a lot of... *cough* kinky vamp-sex) but they turned out to be a powerful team as well in the politics of the city. Amadeus had lots of brains, but not much muscle. Lili however had lots off muscle... She was an incredible fighter. She took care of his dirty work with her small army off servants, equally good fighters (but very mortal), and he took care of the sweet-talk. They ended up on the two top positions in the city, he the Prince and she the Cheifharpy. But.. When your on the top, there is only one way and it is down... She finally meet her end in a grisly fight against the enemies of the city, standing alone against impossible odds, literary ending up as dust.

I miss her sometimes. She was an amazing character to play! And my darling friend CT who played Amadeus was not only a perfect gentleman (he really is), he was a laugh to play with to! (Yes, we did discuss our characters sex-life... Don't everyone?)

Anyway, after that looong introduction... Have a photo of me as Lili von Carlos and off CT as Amadeus von Carlos:


As you can see, this was many years ago. Only picture I have off me as Lili von Carlos. This was all I could send to croaky plus Lili's story, of course. (Click for bigger.)

The result from croaky is, as always, mind-blowing. How the hell she can catch my characters so excellently, I have no idea. But she does.


Yeah.. I just... Yeah... o.O Thats Lili. The way I wished I had looked playing her. Yeah... Mind-blowing. (Click for bigger.)

So very true. :-)

Excellent, and thouroughly badass! But I wouldn't expect any less from Croaky. :-) Or you.

Well, I think Lili was the most badass character I have ever played. (Apart from Talutha Nita in the Deadlands game...) Lili was seriously badass. If, or when, Rose bites the dust I'll definitly play a fighter-character again. :-) They do so have potential.

It is almost eerie how Croaky can catch my characters so well. Rose was perfect to. I have been in said LARP for many, many years and there are a few characters that I still remember very fondly, so I'll have her draw them for me (as commisions, of course) and then I'll put them on the wall, in order, so to speak. :-) Will look badass, I think.

Huh, howcome I missed this?!

o.O Wow, I´m really speechless. It´s so, so gorgeous. "Badass" doesn´t cover half of it, me think! *drools*

Yeah.... I am very impressed with what Croaky has done. Well, both with Rose and Lili. They will look awesome on my wall, once she has done two more characters. :-) Then I have four favorites to put on my wall! :-D

And... badass... Yeah. That would describe Lili quite well... ;-)
