At first glance, Ed is a strange sight: a squat dwarf (4' 2", 160 lbs) with a short, singed reddish-brown beard and eyebrows. He always seems to exude an odour of burning things. He has deep-set, dark grey eyes that constantly probe his environment.
He wears baggy pantaloons with broad russet and white vertical stripes, held up at the waist by a sturdy black leather belt. A tiny hand crossbow dangles from one hip with a spell component pouch opposite. A white shirt is laced up to the base of his throat, and dark chest hairs protrude from whatever openings they find. True to dwarven fashion, he wears sensible heavy black boots.
A bandoleer crosses his chest from left shoulder to right hip, bearing a punching dagger, thieves' tools, a few crossbow bolts, and a small wooden block with a carving knife. Ed is a sculptor first and foremost, and leaves little wooden sculptures wherever he goes. If he is too busy to work with good stone, at least he can keep his extremely deft hands occupied whittling. He carries the rest of his equipment in a canvas backpack.
His familiar is Poe, a morose crow that speaks to him in an ancient extinct language. On the off chance that he makes a good find, he brings a donkey with saddlebags with him everywhere. The intractable beast's stubbornness has earned him the name Dumbass.
Ed loves adventuring, and is always on the lookout for rumours of treasure, ancient ruins (he's a student of of both architecture and history), and sculptures to study. He's also not above lifting the occasional pouch if he's having a hard time making ends meet.

I hope somebody gets inspired to draw a portait!

(The holy symbols are for a german fansite of an original d20 campaign setting. Some artists from these boards have already contributed to the project.)
I have printed these out and will have a go. I will try and do a 'set' of them using a similar frame. I hope my usual b/w will suit. All I would be after is a link to my home page and/or epilogue gallery. This weekend is pretty busy but I should get at least one done by Monday. How simple/symbolic do you see these as being, i.e. what is the size they are displayed at?

That's cool
thank you i'm looking very much forward it.
As for the size I'm thinking of 100x100 for each deity entry, but they might appear somewhat bigger at another location
You certainly get a link to your hp/gallery. That's the meaning of the whole thing, that cool people have platforms where they can present their stuff.
I think full fledged professionell artist also works most of the time for commision, so it's a good exercise for everyone.
Well the whole setting has a celtic nuance. It's hard to tell how symbolic they should be, for symbols are most of the time found and not invented. So just do what you think is cool.
I posted some suggestion, and tried not avaid clichees.
I guess I failed
Besides b/w is cool
especially for printing
my favorite b/w artist is Stephen Fabian

Time is doing what it does to me, slip by. Just some composition doodles for the huntress and sun staff/disc only 100pix so don't bother opening them. Will try for more progress soon but I have a commission to finish

It seems that at 100px its hard to comprehebd what you see at first. The b/w techique lets it appear like these "old crone / young girl" changing pics.
The idea is good, for both pics. Though I would make it a little bit more fantasy-like / antique, because it looks very modern. I don't know why?!
I am looking forward it. You seem to be a busy man so take your time.

Here's a profile's for two characters that I would like drawn together if anyone could do that for me?
name is Euthanasia
Long lavender hair with thin streaks (usually wears half-up)
goddess of vengeance and heroic ends
about 16 years old
99 lbs
5'7
Golden eyes
Wears a celtic cross necklace, short skirt and shirt with ancient symbols backgrounded in gold on the hem and neckline and waitline.
and...
name is Exangelos
raven black hair
god of war
about 18 years old
lean yet muscular
6'2
brown eyes
Wears a dragon pendent usually goes shirtless, wears a white tunic mostly.
position: holding Euthanasia in his arms
I have to say, great work all around. We have some marvelous artists on this thread.
Here is my request:
Valewin (a human man), Forcke (a half-orc man), and Frank (small monkey).
Valewin is a handsome man standing at about 5'9" and is quite muscularly built (str 16, dex 15). He wears a chain shirt and has a holy symbol of kord hanging from his neck. His red hair is cropped short and he has a neatly trimmed mustache and beard (only facial hair is a mustache growing down into his beard, which is not long at all [more of just a chin covering]). He weilds a greatsword which has a holy symbol of kord on it as well. Slung over his shoulder is a short bow and quiver.
-
Forcke is a relatively (as half-orcs go) attractive half-orc man who stands at about 6'3". He is also very well built (Str 15, Dex16). His face shows more human blood than orc, betrayed only by an upturned nose, small lower tusks, and slightly pointed ears. Forcke's dark hair is all but shaved off completely and his face is hairless. He wears a leather gauntlet on his right hand with 2" spikes protruding from the base knuckle of the four fingers. His clothing is normal traveler's garb and he has a light crossbow and quiver on his back. On his shoulder is a small brown monkey (Frank, his familiar).
Pose: I'd like Valewin and Forcke standing side by side. Valewin in a straight stance, the tip of his sword against the ground, and his hands on the pommel. Forcke standing to the side, Frank sitting on his shoulder, a clenched right fist (showing spikes) and a small flame coming from his upturned left hand.

I will add detail to both, probably white on black -- perhap try for a 'woodcut' sort of look.
Now I have an album cover to do. Theoretically I already have a full time job but when someone actually offers to publish me I can't resist, egotist that I am.
Hopefully this weekend will be better as I have no shifts to work. As this is a fairly extenive project I think we might start a thread for it? It will stop use from crowding people character requests off the page?

If anyone out there is having a little difficulty keeping track of all the requests, I put together this list. The list shows what requests were made on what page. The character's name is in italics after the user name. I list if the request was done, being worked on, or whatever between the < and > symbols. Hope this helps!
-Shadow Dragoon: Elven Katane Rogue
-Knightfall1972: Story Hour Character
-Emperor Valerian: Lord Lucius Caladron
-Brix: 12 Holy Symbols < some symbols done -veinglory>
Page Nine
-blargney the second: Eodwin
-notjer: Wood Elf Rogue
-Ferret: Naerl
-ThorneMD: Welby , and reminder for Haldir & Rubic
-Arafang: 3rd request / 2 characters :Euthanasia & Exangelos
-Thaniel: 3 characters: Yalewin , Forcke, Frank
P.S. Zanatose is still being worked on. Sorry for taking so long. Sorry for the 3rd or 4th time.... heh heh heh. Its just I have so much stuff going on in my life right now. Only find very small pockets of time to work on freebie stuff like this. I think in the future, I'll just have to not take more than 10-15 minutes to draw these things. Hopefully the request posters won't mind too much. They're gonna get real sketchy when I come back!

Reason: updating info on list
Thanks for creating an updated list Chain Lightning...
I'm not sure if I speak for everyone, but I sure as heck don't mind if the art is sketchy at all. A sketch from any of the artists here is better than the stick figures I can barely manage.
This thread gives us, the requesters, a great opportunity to have an artist's sketch of our characters. Once that taste is in your mouth... you may not be able to "wait your turn" for a free sketch again. You may begin to seek out artists and pay for sketches. I know that's what happened to me. Veinglory did a sketch for me. Now I'm paying veinglory to do another sketch of a different character.
WARNING: To those that haven't received a sketch yet... this could be habit forming.

Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron,
Can be retentive to the strength of spirit." -- Wm. Shakespeare (iconic bard)
so I decided to post a charcter I have in the works for a game I'm starting next week. It's a modern day Exalted game, and he is a lunar (or shapeshifter) with the wolf animal totem... pretty much stereotypical werewolf cooolness. Anyhow, I see him normally wearing plain street clothes, not limited just to jeans and tshirt... feel free to do whatever in the clothes department. He's thin with dark black hair that's is kinda spiked on his head, and a trim black goatee. His eyes are brown, and there is a silvery circle of light that shines on his forehead when he casts spells. He doesn't have weapons of any kind. In his werewolf form, he is a hulking tank o' destruction that often causes others to drop their weapons and run... quickly. Other than that the character is open to interpretation. The drawing could be of just the character, or it could also show him in his werewolf form, either way is good.
Okay, Smoke&Mirrors requested this way back in 8-29-2003 according to the date indicated on his post. So, I assume he's been playing this guy for a while now! Or....he's in one of those games that dissolves after 3-4 sessions.
Anyways, I'm not sure if he checks back here from time to time or not, but I finally did a sketch of his guy ( some 7 months later! ). Hope he likes it. I drew his human form standing there casting some spell ( I really don't know what his character magic specialty is) and put what his werewolf form looks like in the background....looming behind him in the fog. Now, normally when it comes to "Exalted", the art style associated with it is the pseudo-"Capcom" Japanese style. As much as I love that style, I decided to go a different route. More straight comic book style I guess. Anyways....there it is.
Hmmm....only 244kb limit to post our artwork up? I think some of the detail I'm putting into the Zanatose drawing might be too small to see at that size. Gonna have to figure another way to show KingOfChaos his character maybe....

Chain Lightning: If that doesn't work, you can e-mail me the picture and I can upload it to Realms of Evil and then provide you a link so you can display the picture here. I have unlimited webspace :P
