digital artwork of Cael Delor, tenetke's character in the AthraPlay podcast. Cael is a feminine individual with long dark brown hair in a braid, brown skin, Indigenous facial tattoos on the chin, and feathered earrings. They are wearing green and brown Ranger armor, and carry a curved sword with a red jewel that resembles an eye. The text reads "Who's next?" in reference to a moment from the podcast.

A self-portrait by tenetke of themself as a tiefling. A feminine individual with shoulder-length wavy red hair, pointed ears, curved black ram horns, red eyes, black painted lips, and sharp teeth with blood dripping from the corner of the mouth.
