The Winery Martikovs
🕑 Added 2025-04-02 15:00:09 +0000 UTCEDIT April 4, 2025 - You can now download individual images of each of the Martikov family members in hires, lores, and transparent .png (except for Yolanda, who doesn't want to leave her mother). Enjoy!
The Martikovs of the “Wizard of Wines” winery are a family of Barovians that figure prominently, if briefly, in the module, and sadly have no official art. This is my take on the large, secretive family of vintners that make their home and whose estate seems to be the one place in all of Barovia that seems to produce anything of quality, even if it is only wine. You won't get much more that that out of me mainly to avoid spoilers.
One detail: I do enjoy Dragnacarta's idea that Dag is someone whose complexion is a little different from the rest. In my head, it's because he hails from Krezk, whose settlers were from a different part of the kingdom that the valley once belonged to.
Hope you enjoy!

Hi, is also there a version of davian available/planned?
Caleb Cleveland
She could very likely solo Strahd.

Yolanda's icon is just so perfect. Devious little face. How adorable

Worth the wait! They're totally awesome. I really wanted to wait for your version of the Martikovs, and while I systematically used illustrations for all the NPCs, when my players met them in arc J, I preferred not to show anything because I knew it wouldn't be up to your version. Thanks!

Miniko, you are doing amazing work keeping my uploads sorted out! Expect them this evening.
Miniko
Insane as always Caleb! Btw, will we find Madam Eva and Dragon-Rahadin on the Electrum tier post anytime soon? ^^ Keep up the great work!
Lucas Kunz
Amazing work as always. It is great to have more faces for the family.

I am absolutely living for baby Yolanda's expression and Adrian's hat. Well done as always! Can't wait to see how old grumpy butt Davian looks in your style!
Caleb Cleveland
Thank you so much, Lemon! Didn’t want to give too much away, but there’s hints there for those who know. Of course your eagle eye nabbed them!
Caleb Cleveland
I do plan on updating this with separated characters. Updates to come (soon). Also, thank you for reminding me to update the Vallakoviches!

Davian, true to his character, wouldn’t show up for his appointments, so his drawing is going to be late.
Alex Jude
Amazing as always! But, no Davian?

They're lovely! I absolutely love your drawing style, totally worth supporting. Just one question: do you plan to also load on petreon the single characters present in the group image? It'd be easier than cropping them if we only need the picture of only one of the group (same for old group pictures, like the Vallakoviches)

Lovely work. All the little details are so smart and well done. A great illustration for both those in the know and not yet aware of all the facts around this family.
