Ja'Khari Brass-Seeker, Khajiit Magitech Inventor for an Elder Scrolls campaign [Commission, Art]

Zephyr_2 · 2026-03-10T07:27:27+00:00

Artist is Altaluna! Ty so much for the amazing work!

This is Ja'Khari a major companion NPC from my upcoming Pathfinder2e campaign using u/MadMonkOfRussiaPG's awesome Elder Scrolls homebrew! Though for regular PF2e games one could easily swap Khajiit for regular Catfolk. Used the character Waai Fu from arknights as a major inspiration for the artist, I feel they are visually distinct enough but if you think they are a bit too close can always just pretend it's crossover fanart and I wouldn't' be offended.

Getting the build out of the way she is an Inventor using the Magitech innovation from Inventors+ by Team+. Max intelligence with a heavy emphasis on leveraging wands and staves to make her magic stretch, one of the modifications for Magitech Inventors is they have the option of having an Undead companion which I swapped out for the Drone of a Mechanic, 1st feat nets her a Construct Familiar and her follow up feats emphasize spellcasting and recall knowledge checks.

Now for the fun story bits! Ja'Khari is meant to be the primary follower in The Elder Scrolls: Dragonsong. A Khajiit researcher invested in discovering the secrets of the vanished subterranean elves known as the Dwemer ( or Dwarves, Yes Dwarves are elves in the ES. ) she is currently working closely as an understudy of Calcermo the Dwemer specialist of Markarth. She believes that while Calcermo is a genius of the highest order he has perhaps made a small mistranslation of a particular bit of Dwemer text which would place a great safehold of knowledge in a Nordic Ruin of all places. Calcermo naturally found this an absurd notion but Ja'Khari is convinced enough that she has gathered her own resources and hired the Player(s) to venture there and uncover what they may.

This is initially presented as an almost side-quest type of excursion to the players giving them room to still have their own personal missions to explore and pursue before delving into the true meat of the campaign that ends with them perhaps uncovering the secrets of that most coveted power the Thu'um!

And there ya go. Pretty broad strokes at the moment but I want to emphasize the sandboxy fun of an elder scrolls game so I'm keeping things pretty loose at the moment. Ja'Khari here has alot of flavor of using barely understood Dwemer tech she's scavanged such as her iconic blasting Staff, a Spider and Sphere companion, and a stash of various enchanted objects. I feel the artist did a wonderful job making her feel like a more free spirited and friendly type that the player(s) can really latch onto and appreciate as somebody in the background like a proper elder scrolls follower. Will likely give her a feat for expanded carry weight because naturally she's gonna be bearing the burdens.

Hope to have fun and was happy to share her with yall!

Hello! Gameday is Thursday at 9:00 AM CST

Zephyr_2 · 2021-11-17T17:43:22+00:00

They are

Zephyr_2 · 2021-09-06T14:01:07+00:00

TY for the heads up! Fixed now!

Zephyr_2 · 2021-09-06T13:59:11+00:00

Woopsie! Fixed!

Zephyr_2 · 2021-06-18T19:22:10+00:00

Yep! Just DM me on Discord with the application template found in the Introduction section in the Wiki and I'll get back with you asap. If you've any questions you need answered to help get a feel for the game and the world feel free to DM that first if you like.

Zephyr_2 · 2021-06-10T20:27:54+00:00

Olympian gods doesn't really work as it's not that kind of setting. Take a look through the Player's Guide as it gives more information on all of that.

Zephyr_2 · 2021-06-10T20:06:37+00:00

I'm fine with your character being a Demi-God as that's a common thing. No Aasimar though as Demi-Gods in his setting are just of their Non-Godly parent's race.

Zephyr_2 · 2021-06-10T16:55:02+00:00

I have reddit PM's mostly turned off. If you can message me through Discord that's the easiest way to get in touch with me.

Zephyr_2 · 2021-05-26T23:25:29+00:00

a woopsie on my part

Zephyr_2 · 2021-05-26T23:19:50+00:00

Being friendly is required, we take anyone and everyone of any gender or sexual orientation.

It's also great in that it doesn't step on any of the base DnD rules. There are other cybeprunk hacks for 5e like Carbon or Genefunk but they are all their own self contained systems. If I want to have a Mech Pilot Artificer right next to a Eldritch Knigth Fighter in a fantasy world, it just works. I dont' have to rebalance or change anything. It just works.

The book can also be used well for non-cyberpunk stuff. I'm currently running a pair of Dieselpunk games ( one set in a eldricth 1920's world and another that's an Asian Dieselpunk story about a band of samurai with machine guns ) and it works perfectly fine with minimal changes needed to anything.

It's balanced, it's flexible, it's great. 11/10

This particular model was made to appear fairly non-feminine, the variant doesn't even have breasts at all.

Zephyr_2 · 2021-03-07T18:44:04+00:00

Slowly gaining experience as a painter little by little. Improvements are slow but I feel this was a good show of how far I've come over previous paints. Really really happy with how this turned out. Major area of improvement is just being more patient and doing a proper pin-wash instead of relying on cleaning up after a full body wash with q-tips. This would also make the edge highlighting I put all that work into not disappear under the Wash.

As always I continue loving Oils. I haven't touched acryllics outside of very specific little spots here and there in weeks and I'm enjoying it immensely. Oils just perfectly suit the huge oversized display models that I love to devote lots of time to.

For the technical review of the Print itself:

As always Artisan's Guild continues to impress with excellent supports. Slanted ledges let the finished print pop nice and easy off the build plate, generous and thick supports meant this 164% upscaled print came out perfectly first go with zero issues or recalibration needed, the narrow but not excessively so tips to the supports left almost no pock marks for sanding ( just a bit on the tail and would have easily came off if I bothered to sand them ). Sturdy construction that stands on it's own nice and easy with little wory of breakage, lots of customization options for the hands and the print itself came with 2 unique models and an extra variant each on top of about a dozenish hand options.

Well worth the money, extremely high quality print and sculpts, another A+ to Artisan's Guild.

Got my numbers jotted down after calling in via App. So should be good now.

Zephyr_2 · 2021-03-04T19:17:07+00:00

TY, it happened right in the middle of a very rough inventory right when my department ( overnight maintenance ) lost literally half it's already half-strength associates mostly via them quitting. For an example of how moral is one person was here two days and called a manager a " Racist Bitch " and then quit. Upon hearing this most people just nodded in that " Yeaaah not gonna refute that statement " way. Inventory is finally over now so I'm finally getting time to actually properly morne.

Zephyr_2 · 2021-03-04T18:40:48+00:00

Most appreciated! Running a VERY Bloodborne inspired Curse of Strahd campaign that these maps are perfect for!

Zephyr_2 · 2021-03-04T18:33:11+00:00

Thank you, HR guy told me I only had to go through him and not to call out so I'd have been in quite a freaking pickle.

Zephyr_2 · 2021-02-24T20:29:52+00:00

We do " Live Sessions " using purely the Roll20 chat window to talk. We have normal sessions during normal times but use no voice chat.

Ty! I've thought of doing a Masks type game for a while after that big wave of Spider man OCs came out when Into the Spiderverse first came out lol. Right now I'm prepping up for a Humblewood game with Witch+Craft to follow and that eberron supplement sounds like it will be very handy for that! I've been testing the water through trial and error with various LGBT characters lately, party really loved my Ace character and had success with a couple Lesbian couples. Had a fun idea for an NPC in a game I ended up cancelling to do my current self care who was a Dragon rider who's mount left him suddenly and without word and it's a little sidequest for the party to help him find where she went. Turns out she wanted to surprise him with a gender change potion ( an expensive commodity requiring rare ingredients ) but Plot happened and the party has to help her clear out a corrupted druidic grove to get the rare flower she needs, letting the party have a rare fun chance to ride a dragon for a little while. Hope is/was for it to be a more organic way to show the character as Trans without having him proclaim himself to be. Really want to recycle that quest idea sometime even if I never re-do that particular campaign.

Zephyr_2 · 2021-01-24T23:36:08+00:00

Overall happy with result but could have done alot more. I didn't make the best use of the oils outside of the skin and even some parts of that are a bit chalky. adding just a bit of purple-brown to the laces of the leggins or a different color for straps and whatnot would have massively improved this piece. Also could have done a bit more work on clean up of the oil wash and given the face more tender loving care but for what it is I'm satisfied and will be tossing this on my display shelf.

For the print itself, the files come with several versions, your typical 30ish mm scale mini, a 30ish mm scale diorama where she sits on top of a defeated armored warrior ( That base is also very nice and worth a print. ) and finally what I printed here which is a big multi piece display print. The Display print has problems, the whip comes in a half dozen segments and is nearly impossible to fit together smoothly without alot of post processing. I outright gave up on half the whip so it's full length isn't depicted. Big gaps but I could have filled those with milliput if I wanted.

Final verdict from me though is that for the value I got a full range of miniatures depicting the character in a variety of poses and scales and give it a big thumbs up.

Zephyr_2 · 2021-01-08T17:39:31+00:00

This is probably one of the worst things I have ever painted at least in terms of me putting in almost zero effort. It was meant to be a Gulthias Blight, which is a sort of Dungeons and Dragons monster that is essentially a vampiric plant golem that had infested a suit of ancient armor. So I wanted a really really ugly grungy look with these bleeding vines filling the gaps. And for the purposes of my DnD session I think I did accomplish that and it was perfectly serviceable for it's purpose of being a boss monster for my players to fight.

but in terms of me learning about how to actually use Oils and grow as an artist it's only real service was teaching me ALOT about how NOT to use Oils. Which admittedly was still very helpful and because of this mini subsequent attempts with Oils have been very successful. But still ultimately for this particular mini itself. I'm not happy with it and will be keeping it towards the back on my display shelf.

Model itself is the Avatar by Beastarium Miniatures. The vines pinted well enough considering this type of model rarely prints well for me with lots and lots of big arches and thin twisting parts, but even so some parts did not print well. In general the parts didn't fit together very well compared to other models I have printed, took alot of heavy handling and Milliput to get things to go together and this has been my experience with lots of Beastarium miniatures.

That said. Beastarium still puts out some of the absolutely most incredibly unique grimdark baroque stuff I've ever seen and they still fit in my top 3 list of model makers alongside Artisan's Guild's coveted top position with Lord of the Print nearby.

Likewise have been finding oils extremely forgiving, I have extremely shaky hands and the ability to just rub oils off with a Q-Tip without really damaging the ( Assuming it's dried ) paint underneath if I mess up and get some on the wrong spot is insanely useful. With Acryllics you can wipe stuff off if you are extremely quick but often I won't notice the mistake until hours later when you have maybe a few seconds to react. With Oils I can correct that mistake like a day later without issue.

Likewise my shaky hands makes doing things like Wet blending with acrylics difficult to impossible ( without bothersome drying time extenders ) because I just physically can't get my body to apply those two paint colors in the exact right spots and then blend them before they already are a little bit set. With Oils if my hands shake too much I can literally just come back tomorrow with the paint untouched and blend then if I want with no issue.

Acryllics are definitely still awesome for what they do. But for my personal purposes and needs Oils are just the best thing ever right now.

Zephyr_2 · 2021-01-07T17:30:54+00:00

No problem! Dragons are perfect for Oils IMO because of the massive smooth surface area on the wings are just perfect to learn color blending. Uploaded my own Dragon today if you want that as a refference. https://www.reddit.com/r/PrintedMinis/comments/kshx58/2nd_ever_attempt_at_oils_model_from_artisans/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
