Blood-Stained Love was the first big release I put together for Vampire at Renegade. It was born out of a very simple observation: Vampires and romance go well together, and this has historically been somewhat neglected in the World of Darkness.

Plus I personally like to play fucked up love stories

QRP with some #vampires 🦇

Some vampires from the Vampire: the Masquerade chronicle I play with my friends. (Yes, this is my art.)

Emet-Selch was one of the characters I was especially proud to work on for the set. One of the greatest «villains » with a fantastic character building. So I paid a lot of attention to his pose and expression here.
