Description
Well, i meant to do this quick little image for an NPC I'm going to need soon, just because I could. Wasn't even going to render a background. But then I kept going back to it and here were are. A full piece of art.
There's a Vampyre in the party, and another in the Sky Pirate crew of the campaign I've started, so it makes sense that there would be vampyre hunters. Even though most of what they say about them is propaganda in my world, and technically hunting them is illegal. Still, the government turns a blin eye to the hunters. I wanted to do something generic. He HAD a mask. But once I gave him the hair, all bets were off. I think his name is Buddy, and I'm not even sure that's he's a "bad guy" per se. There's always more to a person than their job, right? Maybe a Vampyre killed someone he cares about. Maybe he was hoodwinked. Who can say?
This is Fuijio for Kenji 7, wearing the Highwayman for G3M outfit, Jonas Hair, and is armed with the axe carbine from the Vampyre Hunter's prop set. He's standing outside Purgatory for Iray with Large Fantasy Moon HDRI (I keep using it because it's awesome). I rather like him. I think because he seems like a nice guy, maybe I should make him a REALLY devious bad guy. Sucker them in with his nice-guyness or something. I don't know. Largely what I do as GM is react to what the players do. I also try not to create too many hard-line villains because I'm a rather firm believer in redemption.
I want to apologize for not leaving as many comments these last couple days. I'm still going in and giving likes - and reading the posts. I've just been a bit emotionally drained and its sometimes hard to be sincere when giving affirmations. It is VERY important to me that I'm always sincere. If I say "Excellent," it's not just lip service! This community means a lot to me. It's become a part of my life these past few months.
I'll be back at it with comments and one-liners soon enough! (Oh, and if you would prefer not to have one-liners, let me know that, too. I'll never take offense, I promise.)
Love to you,
~~LA

Buddy the evil Vampire hunter... No kinship to Buddy the Christmas Elf, I take it?
He actually looks like the suave, sophisticated murder, well heeled and quietly dangerous, with a motive that's buried deep in his past; perhaps a dark, vampiric secret in his family?
Nice work, by the way!
LyleAryn
Thank you, Chasfh! I like how he turned out.

excellent
LyleAryn
Thank you!

Just because you kill vampires doesn't mean you are a nice guy. Assholes can hunt vampires too.
LyleAryn
Yes. I think I've got to do a render without the hunter gear to present to the players first. diabolical scheming commences

I for one am always a little apprehensive about someone who looks and acts "too" nice.. Makes me wonder what their 'real' agenda is...
Having said that, however, you really did an awesome job with "Buddy" here. Vamps, beware!
LyleAryn
Thanks! This is going to be fun...
Nightwind
The outfit and hair really suit him. Nicely done!
LyleAryn
Thank you. Have a great week my dude.

Great character and background, although personally, I've never been a fan of the vampires-can-be-good-people genre. I prefer them as monsters, in the Bram Stoker tradition.
LyleAryn
I decided it would make for juicy story-telling. That the stories told about Vampyres are mostly propaganda. They can be good or evil just like anyone else. I do like some classic vampire - Buffy is one of my favorite shows - but at the same time. Even Dracula had some redeeming qualities.
With the current state of PC culture and everything, I like the idea of taking this creature that is often portrayed as a monster and making that into a media bias. Like, in-universe they'll often be portrayed pretty much straight-up Nosferatu. Even though they're recognized as a people officially, they're still persecuted.
Plus, if give my Pirate Captain a very delicious backstory for the players to eventually uncover. Emeline isn't a monster, though she's sometimes used that perception to her advantage.
IDK. It's just fun. But for movie watching? Give me Lost Boys over Twilight any day.

Good job well done
LyleAryn
Thank you most cordially, Korduanne

Excellent!
LyleAryn
TYVM I'm glad you enjoy it!

It looks like he is ready for the hunt! I'll be the first, to speak for these creatures of the dark! Perhaps I can start a campaign to help protect this species, soon to be in great peril, at the hands of your vampire hunter. My slogan will be... "Save the Vampires from extinction!" An excellent and well done render! :-)
LyleAryn
Thank you. I thibk he'll end being a recurring character, who will seem like a friend. His target is the elusive Captain Emeline.
Of course, now I got to work on a write-up for his entire order of Vampyre Hunters.

Excellent

Well-armed and alert! And maybe a bit of garlic in his pocket along with the silver bullets?
LyleAryn
Garlic-flavored mints... XD

LyleAryn
Thank you!
eekdog
glad i'm not the bloodsucker he's looking for. well dressed and pov is grand.
LyleAryn
Thank you. I was chatti g with a friend and kinda doodling to keep focused on the conversation (helps when I'm tired). I just wanted kind of a quick render. Wasn't even sure I would use it. But. I ended up here and now I've got an entire order of Vampyre Hunters in my campaign. Funny how that happens.
Radar_rad-dude
He is a really rip snortin fine looking young(?) vampire hunter! Many fine kudos on his back story and presentation art! This turned out really great! Bravo!
LyleAryn
Fairly young, but a bit fey-touched I think. I couldn't resist the lightning-bolt marks the character came with.
Richardphotos
his rifle is very intimidating for me. very cool weapon and character
LyleAryn
Thank you! Yeah, the axe-carbine is pretty wicked. I imagine the extra weight would reduce the increased recoil.
anitalee
Excellent
LyleAryn
TYVM! I appreciate it. :)
