I’ve been working on a small side project, a kit of Victorian Characters for roleplaying games. It’s basically a collection of illustrated tokens, the character tokens or minis you use in VTT (Virtual Tabletops), with some extra material.
I made a previous attempt at VTT tokens from a series of paper tokens I drew for a convention game:
But this time I tried to make a more interesting product, so besides producing less crude art for the tokens, I added some text, background material for character creation mostly: a table with 36 background history details, and lists of possible names for Victorian flavor. This is the cover:
Looking at the finished art, I thought this could be a fun theme for a Patreon portraits reward, using the tokens as inspiration for the clothing, hairdo or general style of the portrait. So, here it is, the Victorians portrait reward.
Victorian Token portraits.
This reward is available to members in the $3 tier (Birds Opera Aficionado), and in the $10 tier (Earthquake Critic).
Choose one of the numbered samples as inspiration for your own token. I will use the overall style of the character, and your own picture, to make an original round portrait in this format.
$10 tier customizations:
Those in the Earthquake Critic tier can ask for a special prop if you want: a book, a weapon, an animal companion, or any small addition to the basic portrait.
I’ll be sharing some tokens in a post around here, so let me know if you prefer to keep yours private.
If you are in one of these tiers and want a portrait, or just upgraded and would like to ask for yours, please write to juan@thesecretknots.com with the subject Victorians and a reference picture. (Or let me know if I can use one you’ve already sent).
Leave comments or questions below, and thanks!
