Description
Echo sighed, mulling over the events that had led to her current situation, and nursing a healthy amount of self-pity. Frank sat silent behind her, jacket-less as he'd lent it to his less-clothed alpha for the time. The rain fell steadily. It always rained when a Shadow Lord punished anyone. Echo shivered, pulling her legs closer to herself, shaking some water from her hair. Stupid Frank, why did he have to kill that innocent cop? They'd been on the roof an entire 24 hours already, and had another day of no sleep and continued rain to look forward to. And there was far, far worse to come after..._______________
If my watchers are wondering why it's been so long since I submitted anything, it's because of midterms and papers, but by no means have I been completely unproductive in the art area! I have ton of sketches finished, and was killing myself to get this piece completed! This is just the beginning of the flood
Echo is my Werewolf: The Apocalypse character, the acting alpha of a rag-tag band of misfits who are stumbling their way through the world of the Garou and the war with the Wyrm. The late Frank happened to behead a cop who saw him in werewolf form with a thrown manhole cover, quite a spectacular feat, but earned him severe punishment from the werewolf elders. Echo, as his superior, had to share his punishment for not keeping him in check. So, exposed to the elements and then sent to purgatory to burn in streams of molten silver until their souls were purified.
WW:TA is by White Wolf

The picture is really nice. I like the mood and the rain looks awesome.
But I am wondering...why were they punished this hard?

Well, at the time Echo was basically the alpha of their pack, and the other guy had gone and beheaded a human police officer who hadn't really done them any harm aside from seeing them. Thus, they both shared the punishment. That, and the GM was pretty strict, so I guess it was his way to try to invest some horror into the game?

Ok, that is really way different from how we play the game and interprete the garou / human relationship. What happened with your characters is so much different from what would have happened at our table.
In our game, from the perspective of a Garou, the one who beheaded him would have done the right thing: He protected the veil.
It was "just" a human (not even kinfolk?). If heΒ΄d done otherwise and the policeman escaped and maybe even started to investigate the strange things that happen, he would be in so much bigger trouble because he acted against the litany.
But our GM always makes sure that you feel bad about what you did anyways. You just wont be punished by anyone for it ingame, but you really feel like a horrible monster sometimes and you character has to deal with his own guilt (if he is human born at least).
And yeah, the alpha would always be the one responsible

Yep. As I said, our GM was super-strict. This was also my first time ever playing a White Wolf game. All of my previous experience had been with DnD, so there was a good bit of system-shock. That game only lasted a couple weeks before falling apart, sadly!

EWWWW! I was looking and thinking how sad they seemed, and somehow, he didn't look wet and bedraggled enough to my mind for some reason...
But then your last paragraph broadsided me. Down to the very last part, that hurts, but souls purified with streams of molten silver?! Ai yi yi! Gives all new meaning to "brand new kinds of pain".
Stellar picture Evi.

Hurrah it's finished! Wow, the gloom and rain is so real and overwhelming in this picture. It certainly conveys a sense of despair. Hurrah! I can msot definitely tell they're on a rooftop now. ^^

Werewolf art, and so beautiful as well.
Why... your elders seem to be extremely strict. o.o Of course killing humans is not pretty, but I guess being sent to Erebus for just this (in Werewolf terms, of course!) is harsh. o.o

*nodnod!* Very strict! And our pack is generally shunned now... Not to mention the frequent character deaths or severe injurings. Our DM is rather a mean one... just don't tell him I said that!
