Long thread about my OC Elisif and artworks I did for an OC development challenge which lasted for... a month? I guess.
So let& #39;s begin. Maybe that info is not much interesting but I will also share my works and some sketches.
(please twitter, dont ruin this thread, PLEASE)

(please twitter, dont ruin this thread, PLEASE)
1) Elisif is a VtM AU ver. of Callisto. OC from my original cyberpunk world (one day I& #39;ll tell about her too because I took same challenge with her last year). While Callisto is a cyborg and agent of global corporation, Elisif is a vampire of Gangrel clan and a viking
2)First task-portrait. Short intro: her fullname is Elisif Hróþiwíhardottir (Elisif, daughter Hróþiwíhar), she& #39;s been born in a town called Hrafnsfjall (totally made up by me) at Sognefjord. Somewhere around IIX century A.D., the beginning of what we know as "Viking Age".
3)Task - telling more about the OC and drawing some clothes+a place where the character lives.
I& #39;ve made a new fullbody ref already but here are those done for the challenge. Also sketched her small cozy house with a sheep Svana on the roof. Ooof perspective is pain.

4.1)Task-Skills,hobbies and working place.
Elisif is a Gangrel clan vampire, so she can do some things,like turning into a wolf, growing long claws, see in the darkness. She also used to work as a blacksmith, so I& #39;ve tried to sketch a smithy as her working place.

4.2)Hobbies.
Lis also knows how to play flute, that she does quite often still to rest and think. And she loves wood- bonecarving. Often she carves runes, but sometimes-small trinkets and figurines of different kind.

5)Task-social connections.
Well, main connection for Elisif is her beloved one-Virun. They& #39;ve been together for long, until the day Elisif fell into her long lasting torpor.
And there is also Othala-ancient gangrel vampire, spiritual leader and a seer of the Hrafnsfjall

Here is also Othala& #39;s house (me trying to sketch interiors yet again) and Elisif& #39;s parents - Hróþiwíhar and Berghildr. Sadly I had time only to sketch them :(
6)Task-story of the character before the main plot-twist.
I& #39;ll try to be as short as I can.
Elisif been chosen by Othala when she was 8-year-old child to become "the Einherjar", chosen warrior of the gods. Basically-a vampire. So her father started to train her as a warrior.

Many years ago, when Elisif turned 23, the day of the ritual had come. And during the night of lunar eclipse (which was considered a very special day) she accepted her unlife and became a vampire. Othala was not her sire, but became her future mentor and teacher.
7)Final task-tell about the "changing" day in character& #39;s history and how they lived after.
So, that important day for Elisif was the day of her "almost death".
She lived a long, very long life, and closer to 1000 year A.D. Christianity been spreading across the Scandinavia.

And for Christians vampires were, of course, fiends. Same as pagans who didn& #39;t want to accept new religion. Most likely in September, either 999 or 1000 A.D., Battle of Svolder happened. Warriors of Hrafnsfjall been sent there too by Othala. And Elisif was among them.
During this battle Elisif got deadly wounds, by silvered swords and by hands of other vampires. She did not face her complete death, but fell into Torpor and was buried in a grave with other warriors.
And this exact grave was disturbed by a group of archaeologists in 1991

Poor archaeologists, who awakened old hungry vampire...we& #39;ll mourn them.
Elisif, in the end, was spotted by the Sabbat, introduced to the sect and her new vampire "colleagues" helped her to adapt to the new world, learn the language and find her place in the world.

After 2000-s with help of another vampire she moved to Canada, where Sabbat had much influence, and joined the pack. But not only she believes in Antediluvians, but she is waiting for return of those and for the final battle of Ragnarök, known by other cainites as Gehenna.
