Sure! Seeing your take on my Vtm-blorbo would really cheer me up. This is Id. Turned vampire 10 years ago by the Lasombra clan, the ruthless rulers of shadows. Equal parts smug gangster edgelord, hip hop lover, and hopeless romantic. An extortionist who also loves dancing in nightclubs. Bi-disaster

Next vampire character in our current campaign is the Thin-Blood Sebastian. He tends the bar Metal Dragon in Chinatown. Not quite part of the coterie, but a close ally. #vamily #vtm #vampirethemasquerade #worldofdarkness #thinblood #artist #art #illustration #bartender #ttrpgcharacter

Okay, calling it done (even though the itch to fiddle more persists) Successfully experimented with Clip Studios Shadow Assist. Unsuccessfully kept new years resolution of doing a simpler drawing style lol. #art #vamily #vtm #clanlasombra #illustration #vampirethemasquerade

WIP ⚠️ He still needs some cigarette smoke, a decent background, some light in the hair and finally… some color! But I’m starting to dig where it’s headed. #vtm #vamily #clanlasombra #illustration #digitalart

Not extatic about the face, but after spending an entire night on redoing it I just have to call it done for now. Hopefully the things I’m unsure of now will be better with some light and shadow applied. #lineartwork #trrpgcharacter #vamily #clanlasombra

For me, 2023 was chaos and distractions, 2024 was crisis and recuperation, 2025 was confidence and clarity. For 2026 I want courage and connection to lead the way, and share a lot more of my art and myself. #sketch #illustration #portrait

Hell yeah 💜 Early christmas gift for myself. This year I’ve been really involved with Vtm (Chicago setting in particular) and this ties everything together so nicely. Will show entire game room setup once it’s finished. #vtm #vamily #vampirethemasquerade #lasombra @bynightstudios.bsky.social

A piece I made about a week ago for an invoicery firm I’ve used a lot. The brief was ’freelance life’ and I went for a blend of authentic and fantastical. #art #freelanceillustrator #selfportrait #vectorart

Month of Darkness 03: What I fight for I spent way too long on this… ^^; Oh well, it serves a storytelling purpose in my current campaign as well, I guess. :P I will lower the bar to catch up going forward haha #vtm #vamily #vampirethemasquerade #illustration #monthofdarkness

A bit difficult to see the apparent vampire connection here, but we suspect the company behind this logo are in fact hunters! #vtm #vamily #stupidcompanylogos #illustration

First doodle of my new character Vesper. Our coterie seems to become some sort of carnies, and she feeds by luring visitors into the hidden corners of the dark rides. #vampire #vtm #vampirethemasquerade #vamily #nosferatu #illustration #sketch #horror

First idea sketches for my latest freelance gig. Been a bit stuck with sketching on the iPad. Switching to pencil on paper can be really freeing, especially when it doesn’t have to look pretty yet, haha! #illustration #art #sketch #kidlit #childrensbooksillustrator

Gotcha! Meet Id of clan Lasombra. Ex-Sabbat that made it into the Chicago Camarilla by the skin of his teeth and just started getting most of his coterie to stand him. Pictured here teaching his toreador gf gang signs neither of them should be doing. Likes hip-hop, dancing and trying ppls patience.
