Description This originally started as white lines on a dark background a couple of weeks ago, and was intended to stay that way. But I just got back from a week in Ireland with my friends, where I picked up a souvenir cold, and so feeling sorry for myself as I'm currently half-deaf (planes and colds don't mix kids >.>), I decided to play around... and this happened.

I'd been planning on doing another stained glass style thing again as some point, so this seemed a good time to do that ;D A collection of Dekker symbolism in one place C:

Brief explanations:

Moon - representing the Carver, his sentient bloodthirsty sickle BFF that he loves (who most of my watchers should be aware of by now since Dekker is rarely seen/drawn without it ;D - and if you're still clueless, it's part of a ‘lost’ demigod, who’s kind-of-sort-of a patron to him? - or so he likes to think, it’s a little more master-servant and he's confused about how he feels about the relationship with it atm. Idk, he's trying to looks at it positively even with all the negatives and is something I'm trying to work out in his head out of game almost constantly D: )).
Blood (shards) - representing... well, blood. He's an assassin with a weapon that can draw blood out of people for it's ~evil ends~, so blood is quite symbolical heavy for him.
Rose - representing the Order of the Purple Rose - an order of knights, to which now Dekker apparently belongs... that's right, Dekker of all people, is now Sir Dekker (for now ;D). If you could think of anyone that you wouldn't knight, it would be him. But alas, he appears to have a king for a fanboy and things happened...!
Dagger - representing either a generic dagger/rogue symbol, but at the same time doubling up as the Needle, the Carver's counterpart that Dekker wants to get his hands on (but probably shouldn't be allowed to, because it's also sentient and putting the two weapons together is probably a bad idea).
Wings - representing the Black Griffons, aka the mercenary group he's part of.
Hand (missing forefinger) - representing the Cambrai School of assassins, to which the Carver and Needle 'belong' (started by Dek's demigod 'buddy'), and a group who harrow Dekker in their attempts to get the Carver off of him - also the symbol he cut into his chest with the Carver and gave him his magical assassin skills.
Stars - representing that he's a child of the night, a lover of the dark and shadows, and would be nocturnal if he could be ;D


First and last attempt at stained glass style with Dekker:


Dekker and all the above that relates to him belong me/his DM as some of the bits and pieces are his creations ;D
