Philly by Night Portrait Project - Part Five

At this point, with the end of Act Two, we've nearly wrapped up all our major characters (and nearly all the minor characters too. Check out the updates here and here).

Audrah Leonard

Rebecca's butch lover and thrall, Michael uses her to track Rebecca down at Studio Gothic.

Angela Borgia

The first of Monroe's thrall family that Michael encounters, Angela is a long way from what she appears. I really like this portrait. It gives an image of someone who's a little sexually ambiguous, which is what you want for a transsexual individual.

Antino Borgia

Dirty old man whose perverse appetites not only introduce Michael to the depravity of Monroe's mindset and environs, but also get him killed.

Bernardo Sangiovanni

I wanted to use a stereotype here, your generic greasy Italian mobster. That captures nicely the immensely rich and powerful head of the Sangiovanni faction of Philadelphia.

Gaudino Borgia

For the most active member of Monroe's thrall family (he shows up in Act One alongside Dylan in one of the Philadelphia "cut scenes"), I wanted a particular image in mind. Hauntingly handsome, but not quite right. The blue eyes really drive that paradox home with this portrait.

Ludovica Borgia

Probably the less said here, the better. Ludovica is, of course, the young girl that fully demonstrates how depraved and debauched Monroe and his people are (even more so than her parents, who are the siblings Gaudino and Savina).

Savina Borgia

Gaudino's sister and lover. It's probably obvious that I channeled a bit of Game of Thrones in creating these characters with the whole incest thing.

Angelus Stirling

I wasn't originally going to create this character or really use him in PbN1999 (He has a larger role in PbN2012). But when it came time to introduce the Malleus Malificarum, he was my go-to guy, using Obfuscate to confuse and convince the Malleus leadership that he's the archangel Michael (the pun of his first name is not unintentional).

He's a Sims 4 portrait obviously, but I was really trying for a particular look. Someone aged and hawkish. A bit like the first Doctor Who. I didn't quite get it, but I still like what I came up with.

(Mild spoiler for the future: This guy is a seriously sick fuck too).
