Dean O'Dunn (Dod)

Concept

A skillful and joyful miniatore who escaped the monastic life, because he didn't want to became a scribe and amanuensis. He now survives portraying famous characters in books, drawing strange beasts at pages' edges and embellishing any kind of book or manuscript. He usually draws veiled jokes into his commissions (apparently a common practice). He seeks adventure to gain new inspiration. He joined the covenant in Autumn 1228 (at 25 years).

Equipment

Art

  • The one received from the Jerbiton Vox Mentis.
  • Freshly painted, it represents Vox's covenant but with a white patch on the tower on which the demon appeared in the past
  • A small book of fables, copied and illustrated by Dean
  • A rolled up parchment that once was a page of a big book. The page reads the ascension to sanctity of an old Dominican Friar, NAME HERE (SG HELP). In the top-left corner there's a big divinely decorated I, in the opposite corner, at the right of the praising words, a well refined representation of the friar. The figure is depicted, slightly bended, in the intent of shoving up his ass an holy staff, a satisfied face the friar's one. The reliquary'd be well preserved if it weren't for the dried mud splashes on its lower half. This piece certainly tells a more interesting story than the one written on it.

Magical

  • Enchanted Paintbrush of Vivid Colors

    This beautifully crafted paintbrush enhances the colors' pigments in which it's dipped, giving a +3 when used for painting any kind of art piece. Thus modified colors result brighter, more vivid, and somewhat alive. It seems the effect resists the passage of time, at least no mundane has seen it fade nor diminish. In the right hands it could be the tool that allows to create unparalleled masterpieces.

    Clearly crafted by non-human artisans, its handle resembles an oblong fish, maybe an eel, who writhes and squirms in a vain attempt of escaping from a dragon bite, the ferrule and crimp. The bristles as a mane to the ferocious beast.
