Having to spend most of the past few weeks drawing various kinds of backgrounds left its mark, and my brain was demanding a bit of a palate cleanser, since the quality was starting to dip. I took an afternoon to doodle something character-focused and dumb, and while I'm not entirely happy with the result, it's at least presentable, so I'll take that as a win.
You already saw Tarraghan earlier this year, and it looks like he's getting two siblings. You know, I never asked for this. I'm never sending their mom on another Metal Legion concert :I
I currently have all three of them in the reserves, waiting for the new elite specs to be revealed in July to settle on a class for them. Although at least Garlucan feels like he hasn't inherited a speck of his sire's magic (or, in Ineumbra's own words, "dumb as mom"), so unless that elite is completely off, he's going to end up a warrior.
Context for non-GW people:
Charr parenting is pretty much optional. While it's not a mandate and there's plenty of charr who were raised completely differently (independently, in a small commune or with human-style parent-child focused upbringing), the default state of things is cubs staying with their parents only until they're weaned. After that, their parents give them up into a fahrar, which is basically a permanent military boarding school. Cubs are grouped together into a warband which will likely end up being their new family for the rest of their life, and while they have adult oversight in the form of a primus (at least one, although there's commonly multiple), they're taught to settle their differences within the group and rely on each other rather than outside influence.
And while parents get out "easy", I send a complimentary pat on the back to all the older siblings/bandmates whose patience gets tested instead...
Happy Children's day...?
And right back to backgrounds.
