The final round up for the Exalted Art Challenge! A little late because I wanted to end with a bang and another comic.
Week 4 Topic – Botch
I wanted to tell the story of the first botch I experienced in our very first Exalted game. In the early part of our game, my Eclipse, Kalara, was traveling in disguise as Koh, the Righteous Devil gunslinger and infamous bandit king. A Realm army had come to reclaim the city we had started to scratch out from the wilderness with our band of runaways and outcasts.
We were surrounded on all sides by a force that outnumbered us. Emotions were running high. The people here depended on us for their freedom from slavery. In the early morning light, we rode out to meet the army.
And we smashed them before they could even blink. The battle was over in a turn!
And then the botch came…
At least I didn’t botch during the battle I guess lol.

I hope you all have enjoyed this journey through this year’s Exalted Art Challenge! It’s always a good opportunity to brush up on my skills and explore new concepts, as well as get hyped about Exalted with my creative friends.
I hope to gather my entries into a sketchbook or album you can download and enjoy here on Ko-fi, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
Thanks for joining me! I’d love to hear about your first or favorite botches that have happened to you in Exalted in the comments. Surely I’m not the only one who had such a mundane failure?
