Bumping This Now Since Cecie’s Sheets Have Been Added!
Bumping this now since Cecie’s sheets have been added!
Redoing my character references (including redesigns as needed). After I finish Cecie’s, I may reblog with more info on the three’s dynamic 😌
[Edit] Cecie’s is now attached! Now that I got the M3 completed I’ll be taking a break from sheets to do some scenes. Though many more reference sheets will be made in the future…
Cecie’s Lament Characters
Francis, the demonic warlock patron.
Maddox, the half-elf wizard-turned-warlock.
![Main text reads as follows. "Maddox (body details). Don't draw him scarless, shaved, or without his piercings. Maddox always looks somewhat disheveled (intensity varies)." The notes, from top to bottom and left to right, read: "Scars on arms are (mostly) from using blood for magic purposes." "Hair is mid-back length and slightly greasy." "[Maddox] has prominent eyebags and a blind left eye." "When borrowing power from Francis, this sigil appears above his heart." "Left eye gets replaced by an alchemical prosthetic later."](https://64.media.tumblr.com/bb66ab7bf36b71654105b94f83f9edb8/e927822b8ada27e9-b1/s500x750/e32462da4a94a124859e81c4e0cd2e7f8fae5ddb.png)
[Edit] Cecie, the elf soothsayer.
A brief note on elves and demons (under the cut):
Elves:
My elves age differently from humans, maturing far slower and then leading prolonged lives. The average elf’s life expectancy sits in the 500s, though some have far exceeded this thanks to good medicine and magic practices. In elf-dominant cultures, an elf isn’t considered an adult until their 80s, at which point they will leave the home and venture out into the world to gain broader experience (and find a specific skill to hone in on). Trips like these often take decades to complete, with 20 years being considered on the short side.
Half-elves live shorter lives, but have the same maturation rate as full-blooded elves. They are still expected to participate in the same customs as full-blooded elves (if they want to be “respectable”, anyway). For Maddox, that means that he left the home in his early 80s and became a mercenary until his 110s (at which point he returned home for Cecie’s sake).
Demons:
“Demon” is just a shorthand term for all entities who were created to be or transformed into the servants of a deity. There’s a lot I could share about them, but I’ll save that for a separate post in the future (if folks want me to share the lore, or if I feel like doing it myself.)
“Demons” in my worldbuilding are not connected to Christianity, or any other real-world religion. They share some superficial similarities, but with vastly different origin stories and mechanics.

Art fight prep thread
i’ll be periodically adding to this as i, well, do my prep for what will be my third art fight! there’s a number of things i need to do:
make references for the ocs that will be on my page (francis, maddox, cecie, iarmys, inanna, and ayelet (ayelet is @boxxed-upkr ‘s)) (three are done, but i may redo two of them..)
make icons for the above characters
make lil chibis of the above charas to sit on my home profile page
after teams are announced, make borders for this year’s attack icons
hunt down a person to do an 800 level revenge chain with, to try to be in the top 3 longest chains of the year
if possible, revamp the toyhouse pages of the public characters there
strikedown = completed

scene hitlist // revenge chain hitlist will be a long one!! aiming to be one of the top three longest chainers this year!
art fight profile: https://artfight.net/~caustic-caffeine
team: tbd! but i don’t mind friendly fires!
my characters: aside from one, all are humanoids! they exist within a dark fantasy/steampunk setting with healthy helpings of the occult, macabre, and otherwise potentially unsettling ✨on each of their profiles they have links to toyhouse pages with art storage and more info about their lore! references are a work in progress and a few characters i have hidden right now may be unhidden before art fight starts
who i’ll attack: in order of most likely to least likely! mutuals > characters on my hitlists > characters with themes i enjoy > beginner artists/people new to art fight/people with high attack ratios (hmu if that applies to you!) > people who attacked me first > bookmarks > everyone else
other notes: check out my socials for examples of my art! i occasionally dabble in animation, both frame by frame and tweening. if it means anything, i’m an autistic lgbtq+ disabled metalhead 😎. more about me on my site
examples of art range from late 2023 up to a few days ago

you can give seven days of internet connection to someone in gaza for just 6 USD
gazaesims.com is a website dedicated to helping people donate esims for people in gaza. (for the ultimate guide to donating an esim, see http://tinyurl.com/gaza-esims) there are multiple options for where to purchase an esim to donate, for the price i listed you want to use nomad esims. you can get a $3 discount by using someone's referral code from the notes of this post. it also will give the referrer credit to buy more esims! (you can only use a referral code on your first purchase) @/fairuzfan also a tag for esim referral codes here, some of which are nomad. BACKPACKNOMAD is another code to get $3 off your first purchase, it's been working for some people but not others so try out a referral code instead if you can't get it to work. also it took over an hour for the email with my information to come through so don't panic if it doesn't show up right away. (logging back into your nomad account seems to have helped some people get their emails to send!) NOMADCNG is a code for 5% off any middle east region nomad esims from connecting gaza. it can be used on any purchase, not just your first but is generally going to give less off than the first-purchase only codes, so use those first. it can be used in combination with nomad points. AWESOME NEW CODE: nomad esim discount code for 75% off any plan, NOMADCS25 do not know how long it lasts but this is an amazing deal esp. since they are really low on esims right now! (nomad promo codes do not work on plans that are already on sale, unlimited plans, and plans under $5)
weekly tuesdays only code on nomad web, PST timezone! it gives 10% off plans 10gb and above. NOMADTUE
for the month of may, first time referrals give 25% off for a person's first purchase and 25% off the referrer's next purchase! it's a great time to use someone's referral code from the notes if you are a first time buyer.
troubleshooting hint 1: if you are trying to pay through paypal, make sure you have pop-ups enabled! otherwise the payment window won't be able to appear.
troubleshooting hint 2: if you are trying to purchase an esim using the provider's app, it may block you from purchasing if your phone does not fit the requirements to install and use their esims. use their website in your browser instead and this problem should go away.
edit as of 5/21/24: holafly (israel and egypt), nomad (regional middle east), simly (palestine and middle east), mogo (israel), and airalo (discover) are currently in the highest in demand. here is a purchase guide i made that covers all of the esim platforms, including these three platforms. if it has been more than 3 weeks since you initially sent your esim and your esim has not been activated, you can reforward your original email with the expiration date in the subject line. you can see gothhabiba’s guide for how to tell if your esims have been activated. if your esim has expired without use, you can contact customer service to renew or replace it.
just remembered! i have an unofficial art fight discord server dedicated to things like attack coordination, possible minigames, etc! it’s very small and chill and may be a good fit for you if the big official server intimidates you ^^
