Description
He waits in the dark for the scent of anger or hateHe hides behind ignorance
And it's never for long that he has to wait
A gentle caress
Is enough before fear takes a hold
The warning signs come far too late
By then he'll have captured your soul
(~Arena, The Butterfly Man)
A Psychomachia that our East Africa RPG group had to fight yesterday. Just imagine the blades to be much more numerous and bigger in size instead of looking like handy cutlery. Psychomachiae are evil spirits that corrupt hateful or depraved human beings and make them act out their darkest fantasies. Every death inflicted by its host makes the spirit stronger. In our session yesterday the host was unlucky enough to die when the spirit broke free to face the players directly.
Sketched during lecture, quick flat coloration at home. Really just a concept sketch.
Psychomachiae belong to the guys at White Wolf Publishing.

Reminds me of a Zerg unit from Starcraft... Very interesting and deadly looking. As usual, great attention to detail with this ^^

o.o Your characters must be mighty to dare look in the face of such a grin. I mean, whew, that's enough to curtle milk 20 feet away.

x-) They were all beginning characters and that thing struck a good deal of respect into them, mentally and physically. But in the end they could be rather proud of bringing that ugly bitch down.

Awesome :3. Nothing boosts the spirits more than one heck of a hard battle fought and won heroically (or accidentilly, depending on the character).

Lovely, I always wanted something like this in the cellar..
And I am glad that I know how to fight that thing if it wants to eat my chocolate.

He looks kinda like the bug from the first Men In Black movie, only a lot scarier-looking.

Don't belong anymore... not anymore.
But i like the psychomachinaes, they are creepy enough when lingering as fat maggots around cancer stations in the hospital.

Just because they've discontinued WtA doesn't mean they've given up their copyrights, or am I wrong? Otherwise everyone would be free to publish their own official rulebooks, hehe.
The part with the hospital sounds very disturbing.

Argh... Deutsch besser. Grammatik NARGH
Ne, die Bücher und alles sind nu out of print nich?
Das heisst - wurde mir von meinem Bücherhändler erklärt und dem vertrau ich da - die Dinger haben kein Copyright mehr, du darfst die Bücher überall hochladen und kopieren und einscannen lalalalala
Klar, gemacht haben sies immer noch, aber das Copyright ist weg.
Das mit dem Krankenhaus... da gibts ein Bild im Umbrabuch das zeigt genau diese Szene. Sieht echt nicht schön aus, aber jeder Spieler freut sich, denn da regnets Zornpunkte wenn man menschenfreundlich eingestellt ist.
