Heartbreak & Heroines is cancelled

I’m sorry to say that “Heartbreak & Heroines,” the RPG game I was going to illustrate– and which I blogged about earlier– has been cancelled because of personal issues. NiTessine has more to say about it:

Okay, now I am annoyed. The funding for Heartbreak & Heroines has been cancelled by the creator because of some rather disgusting drama brewing in the blogs out there.

No, I’m not going to go into specifics. You can google it if you really want to know. I think the place for this kind of thing is not on the blogs but in a court of law, and I’ve already squashed one comment about it. Suffice it to be said that whoever is in the wrong in this particular case is a failure as a human being, but it is not my place to decide the truth of it. For now, I refuse to touch this with a ten-foot pole.

Dammit. I wanted that game.

Here’s the first art piece I did for HEARTBREAK & HEROINES, an upcoming feminist/fairy tale RPG from Bold Pueblo Games. It’s all about adventurous women having awesome adventures, and we’re on Kickstarter. Check it out, and if it takes your fancy, please throw a few bucks into the hat!

So this young lady depicted here is someone I’ve nicknamed ‘Miss Braavosi’– because I’m a huge Game of Thrones nerd, I was thinking of Syrio Forel, the First Sword of Braavos, the entire time that I was drawing her. Observant D&D fans might also notice that her pose was inspired by Alias, aka the chick on the old Azure Bonds book cover, except her costume is not ridiculous (I was going for a 16th-17th century late Renaissance Italian vibe).

I was originally going to make her a redhead, but Caoimhe– the mastermind behind Bold Pueblo Games– wanted her to look more Mediterranean/Middle Eastern. I think that works much better, don’t you? I can just imagine Miss Braavosi being an enthusiastic sellsword for some fantasy Renaissance princeling, although she occasionally feels a pang due to whatever sorrow she has kept deeply buried within her soul…or something! Things are still somewhat unfinished right now, but once our fundraising period is over, we’ll settle down and give her a name and a proper backstory. I can’t wait!

EDIT: Miss Braavosi now has a name– she is Kalaira Dastari. Check out the Kickstarter page for the new $5000 milestone bonus!
