some WTA npc art I made

I made some npcs for a wta5 campaign im making for me and my irl buddies!

On the left we got Heather "Silent Leap" Brooks who is a Gaillard Silent Strider
Notes I have on her character:

"Before turning Heather was naturally spiritual. She was the typical girl to have tarot decks and gemstones and incense, but deep down maybe she knew that was never truly "spiritual", ya know?

Now in the state of Oregon you got your usual assistance for spiritual journeys, which of course can include shrooms(depending on the person you hit up), marijuana and the like.

Heather likes to say that her calling to Gaia came to her while on a spiritual journey (tripping on shrooms) which turned into a bad trip considering her sober buddy, her girlfriend Mildred (Millie) Wheeler at the time, ended up making her bad trip worse when attempting to calm her down. This resulted in Heather turning Crinos and ripping off Millie's arm.

Millie is alive, but has intense PTSD. She believes she was a victim of a bear attack. While Heather believes that Millie didn't deserve to get hurt, she had received her calling from Gaia. A "necessary evil" if you will.

Millie remains Heather's touchstone. She lies about the attack, and tries to help her when she needs it."

Other things on Heather: Her design is lightly inspired by Nikki from Obsession.

On the right we have Shadow "Loyal Mutt" who is a wolf born Philodox Gale Stalker

Former K9 of the police department (of whatever town the setting takes place)

Believes he is judge jury and executioner

Believes he knows and has the right to choose what human is good and what is bad

Impulsive, quick to act

How he turned: "Shadow's handler, Officer Chris Hazelton was attempting to apprehend a criminal who was a serial arsonist who was burning down his house attempting a murder suicide with his 2 children. Amidst the struggle between his handler and the criminal, Shadow saw Chris get attacked by the criminal and get engulfed in flames, causing him to turn. The squad car he was held in was burst open, half of the car rendered unrecognizable due to the shredded door and roof of the vehicle, and having charging in now in war form Shadow ripped the criminal in half before disappearing into the flames before running off into the wooded area behind the burning house.

Other officers who witnessed the transformation, who now are in a state of delirium from the brutality of their coworkers injury and the sudden beast bursting from seemingly no where are on permanent work leave due to the insanity a human seeing a werewolf can cause."

Notes on Shadow:

Shadow's deed name is "Loyal Mutt". While "Mutt" is used as an insult, Shadow does not mind it. He did after all think he was a dog for the majority of his life before he turned.

Shadow's origins are that he is about 75% wolf, his mother being a pure wolf and his father being a wolf dog. Shadow is often shamed for his bloodline but his actions often speak louder than the insults thrown at him.

After all, his deed name is true: he is indeed loyal. He earned it for protecting the Caern for 3 days and 3 nights with no sleep, slaughtering all that tried to harm the Caern during the moot.

2nd image is Heather's Lupus form!

I hope you guys enjoy the art and stuff! I'm still a bit new to WoD as this is my first time writing a campaign for any table top game and I'm constantly researching the lore. If you guys have any input or just regular comments feel free to let me know!

New Story teller wanting tips

This is for a WTA5 game. Currently I have a few things written down and I was hoping those who are more knowledgeable about DMing, WoD lore, and so on could give me some tips. I'm still relatively new to WoD and I'm trying to research what I can. If I miss a few key details, I apologize.

My questions and concepts, and I'm at work so I'll put down NPC details in a second post, are the following:

  1. A vampire prince of a big city helps with funding the construction of an AI data center. The idea is that if enough people use AI or if AI is all over the internet enough it would be way less likely for people to believe a picture or video of a vampire. This, at least to me, would help maintain the masquerade.

  2. How would Garou see an AI data center?

I'm thinking they would see it as a really big area of wyrm corruption.

  1. To my knowledge the Black Spiral Dancers are accelerationists. Would it make sense for them to aid in the data center or even go as far as to be security for it?

I'm hoping this makes sense. If you guys have any tips or details I may be missing let me know. Thank you for your time. I'll be making another post at some point describing NPCs and other details I have for my chronicle.

Skin Idea of hedgehog rammus

sorry it's a little muddy looking, I drew this in 10 minutes. But this was something I thought about that I think would be a really cute idea for a rammus skin.

Surprise Party Smolder idea

ok so I can't sleep and I'm not really too happy with how this turned out. But it was.. AN idea.

Thought his E could be streamers that shoot out, his Q could be little pies he throws (I had toontown in mind when I was thinking of this.) and his R could just be an eruption of streamers and your usual circus chaos.
Forgive me and my sleep deprived mind.

Finished Gargoyle Smolder skin idea

Ok so here are some notes in case other artists are curious or if anyone cares:

I did get a bit lazy with the background kinda. I used mainly the air brush and blur tool for the far back, and for the little column Smolder is one I just used 2 colors and the watercolor brush with color stretch maxed.

For the details on smolders actual body the only real change was some soot markings from his flames. I wanted to make him look slightly more worn out and aged.

The ghostly green fire does make him look more paranormal but I actually think it fits the theme a bit if in a hypothetical universe this were to be released near Halloween or something.

I like to think that the sound on his elder passive would have a church bell effect!

Lemme know your thoughts! I'm actually really proud with how this turned out.

Skin ideas for smolder

I'm still working on the background of Gargoyle Smolder, but I had a few ideas and was wondering if you guys had some ideas of your own!

I may be drawing these btw!

Battle Boss/Arcade Smolder:

Was thinking of a Spyro/Koopa inspired skin, maybe with his q having the same colorful gems Spyro picks up in his little fireballs that are pixelly. The ideas that came to mind for appearance was a more first gen bowser color pallet of mostly green with a yellow underbelly, but I'm open to other ideas. I didn't want to copy Spyro beat for beat, y'know? I also was thinking of feathered wings but that's up for debate.

"Prince" Smolder:

This idea was more inspired by the King Viego skin.

Smolder, aside from his mother, is the last imperial dragon I'm pretty sure. And his mom was alive before the ruination, so maybe with this one he looks more regal and acts more spoiled.

Another idea with this one would to be giving smolder female voice lines and imply that the dragon we are playing is his mother before the ruination.

Really there's not too much of an idea for this one.

Elemental Smolder:

I've drawn some art of this idea already, but it's what it sounds like. Smolder can have the cosmetics of the elemental drakes and even elder dragon.

Cafe Cuties Smolder:

He's an adorable little dragon and to me it kind of makes sense. His autos and Q could be him spitting coffee at you, his W could have a floating cup of coffee like a latte, etc.

Dragon Prince Smolder:

I feel like this one would be simultaneously the easiest and hardest to nail because he's already a dragon, but with this you'd have to really amp it up. It'd be really easy to make it seem like a recolor or make someone say "why is this is a thing he's already a dragon"

Fables Wyrm Smolder

I think it would really suit him because of all the other fable skins like leprechaun veigar, loch ness chogath, etc. but perhaps the gargoyle smolder idea already fits that.

(Vent) I'm a smolder main but I think smolder needs to be banned every match because of how OP he is rn

I'm mastery 40 on the little shit. If I play him it's an almost instant win if the jg isn't camping me constantly and if I'm vs a smolder I'm fucked regardless of what I play. Death fire is way too op on him and I think I'm just gonna move to perma banning him every match just to offset the potential chance of someone else playing him so we don't instantly lose because my support walks into every smolder Q and W like a toddler into oncoming traffic while my dogshit viego jg one trick is off coddling our 0/5/0 garen because he screamed the loudest.

Rambling aside with that first part, I think this sucks the fun out of the game for me a bit. Unironically there is no more challenge to smolder anymore because now it's just picking the arcane comet preset, switching comet to deathfire, building ER then boots, then cleaver, and then boom. Win the game.
No longer is it the excitement of potentially turning a game around that may have seemed hopeless to carry with a passive elder buff. Now it's just machine gunning Q with deathfire burn and everyone melts before you even GET elder.

Sidenote: I'm sorry for all of the bitching I am quite drunk at the moment.
