Voodoo Queen
« on: July 09, 2017, 01:47:36 PM »
The voodoo queen and worshippers of the congregation.



Inspired by Dracula's America I finally decided how to paint these Darkest Africa figures I've had for ages. Real Voudon practicers would probably have dresses with their shoulders covered, but I think they still look realistic enough.

Not necessarily. Voudou, like Santeria, is a close cousin of Candomblé and those channelling the orixás may well have bare shoulders but then they would likely be costumed as such.

Saw these on FB, glad to make the connection as to the artist!

Lovely work! And praise from Kevin Dallimore too! I'm a bit jealous... ;)

Really nice work, there! Funnily enough, I'm currently working on some unique Arcane Powers for the Congregation (to be included in a future book) as we speak!  ;)

AWESOME, CONGRATULATIONS!  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Those Copplestone African princesses are PRICELESS!!!  lol

And I liked very much the idea of using a Darkest Africa Victorian Lady as the Queen, GREAT JOB!!!  :D

West Wind also have very nice figures in their Gothic Horror - Zombies line to add to your Queen's group of followers, check them out!  ;)

I could make for a very interesting narrative, missionary's wife possessed by African spirit.

Fenrir, take a look at Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu - Secrets of New Orleans for some very nice ideas on the subject! ;)

yes, for Dracula's America.
These will probably just be non combatant bystanders, unless there will be rules for chanting worshippers!
