Greylock, I'm trying to get a mental picture of Aneirin. You say he is pale skinned, but then say he is of royal Hindi decent. I may be lax on my Asian history, but doesn't that make him Indian.I'm confused. Let me know, that is if you still want him drawn.
Still very interested, Bastion. Thanks.
I've always thought of Indians as being many shaded, especially if you consider their religious and fantasy art. I originally had Aneirin visualised as a very light bluish white, as if you could see his veins. But I do see him as Hindu in every way [the sig I use is from old Hindu text], and some of the higher castes were pale, yet thoroughly eastern.
I'm going to attach an image I use to help visualise him. [Had two. The other was too big. It was a Byzantine image of St. George.] They are very contradictory, so don't let that throw you. I want to see what you can make of this jumble of ideas, as long as the overall flavor stays Hindu...
(In the first picture it is the guy on the right who grabs me, although Aneirin has no beard. A mustache would suit him though, I think.)
Thanks again, Bastion.
[Edit: On the other hand, maybe I am confusing things with my general use of the term Hindu, when what I mean is ancient Indi.]
Thanks, BastionLightbringer. Oooooh, the anticipation can now begin in earnest . If it helps at all, this char makes his appearance in the latter part of Session 3: Hilltopple House in the StoryHour my sig links to.
I've been impressed with all your sketches so far. I'm glad you're taking such an active interest in this thread.
Greylock, I worked on Aneirin last night. I am not sure if it was what you were looking for, but it's all I could come up with. I used the picture you provided and a picture I found on th e internet of a Byzantine pic of St. George.
There seems to be a glitch, everytime I try to upload the pic, the manage attachment window just goes blank. So if you want to see it check out the art gallery, latest uploads.
I finished Ad-Doras, but I'm still having trouble posting it, I think it's to big, so here it is a bit smaller. I posted him in the art gallery full size.
Thanks

Reason: Added better link to image
I'm looking for an NPC drawing if anyone is interested. I've got a few, but I'll post this one here, to see if someone would be interested in trying out something a little different.
My PC's are playing in The Broken Lands, and have contact almost exclusively with Humanoid NPC's. I think it'd be nice if I could provide a few pictures for them. I've borrowed from here and there.
Garnash One-Tusk is the Chieftain of the Vile Runes Tribe. He has levels in Barbarian, Ranger, and Rogue. He wields a Half-Spear and Battle-Axe in battle, using the two-weapon feats. He's not the prettiest Orc you've ever seen, and is somewhat of a throwback, with lower tusks, only one is broken most of the way off. He wears Studded Leather Armor, and the odd Orcish fetish/good luck charm. He reveres the god of wolf-riders. The tribe standard is a Vile Rune on a field of black.
If anyone is interested I would really like to see what you can do with this. I have more NPC's waiting, if it is enjoyable to draw for any of you.
Thank you,
GW
Well, he ended up looking more 1/2 orc than full orc, but I hope he serves his purpose.
Sorry, the scan doesn't look to clear, I'll try to load again when I get a chance.
A request for a kobold character
i have a request for a character as said in the title. I would like idealy a front, side and 3/4 view of him. he is incredibly neat and keeps well maintained throwing axes and studded leather armor.
There are a set of elven twins, an elven cleric, and a wood elf fighter.
The male has silvery white hair with a dual wields a long swords and a short sword. He also wears mithril banded mail. His long swords is an ancestrial sword with elven runes along the blade and the ability to flame. He is a fighter with one level of sorcerer. His familiar is a hawk.
His sister has white hair as well, she wears a white cloak with mithril chain under it. Her primary weapon is a bow, the ancestrial sister weapon to her brother's sword, except it can shock rather than flame. She also has a short sword. She is a rogue, with one level in sorceress. Her familiar is a serpent that is normally wrapped around her arm, shoulder, or neck.
They both have red dragon blood in them, but if it is apparent at all, it is only vaguely in the sister.
The elven cleric of corellion has chain armor, a mercifull long sword named soullerioun. He has a tower shield. He is well kept, but not arrogant.
The wood elf fighter has a bit of fiend blood in his line, but it is barely even vaguely apparent. He wields an oversided great-sword and wears half plate. He has a magical ring on one of his hands. His long black hair is wild and unkept.
Okay, I lied - I've got another request, and a bit of an odd one.
Shizra is a gunmage (Custom class - basically a partial caster that bonds with a pistol, much like an AU Mageblade). Here's his description:
Shizra is slightly built, tending towards scrawny, though the word rangy would probably be the best description. He's tall, perhaps 5'10", and seems taller both because of his lean build, and a black leather hat that is rarely off his head. His hair is black and straight, pulled in to a braid that hangs down his back, and his face seems to always sport the beginnings of a beard and mustache, though it rarely passes beyond stubble.
His clothing, for the most part, is simple and unadorned - he wears a pair of black breeches and a simple white sailor's shirt, with several belts bearing a number of pouches and sheaths. Over top of that is typically a leather coat of fine quality - the coat is impeccably tailored, and obviously crafted by a master. Two of the belts bear strangely shaped sheaths which hold what are obviously a pair of pistols, for those familiar with the weapons. On his right hip, a large Dragon Pistol sits, intricately detailed in some sort of blue runic script. On his left, a smaller Sting, black, but picked out in white shell of some kind, rides low. He tends to rest his hands on the pistols when they're not otherwise occupied, but that's rare.
Shizra is extremly personable, speaking with passion more often that not - he gestures with his hands when he is interested, his movements quick and controlled. He is quick to laugh or smile, but walks with a seriousness that speaks of competence to match his weapons.
He's basically a fantasy world version of a gunslinger, down to the hat and stubble. If he were to sport a half-burned cigar, it wouldn't be out of place....
Is it 'bad form' if I want to draw a character that somebody else has drawn & post it? I'm not trying to 'out-do' anyone (especially considering how rusty I am at the moment ), but I'm trying to make myself do one drawing a day & frankly I prefer to draw for others.
Though it is fun to draw the naztyz that my poor pcs will face
BTW Graywolf, I hadnt fergotten ya---stuff will be on the way soon

Yeah, I'd say as long as you don't post it saying "Man, that no talent hack XYZ did a drawing, but I felt sorry for you, and did a *real* one" you'll be fine.
Course there are still a lot of undrawn characters here too, some just recently posted....
