[QUOTE="Aaron L, post: 3343031, member: 926"] Well, this is more pencil and photoshop, but I didn't really think it fit into the computer art category. My newest character is a Grey Elven Duskblade. He's a bright, shining elven knight, decked out in mithral full plate, with a razored mithral heavy shield of bashing (I took the shield specialization, improved shield bash, and agile shield fighter feats, as well as somatic weaponry allowing me to cast while fully armed and bearing my shield, and I plan on getting the shield the speed enchantment and maxing out it's weapon enhancements as well as defensive enhancements, making into a truly powerful piece of magic.) Anyway, I spent several hours doing the initial development of how the shield looks. It's supposed to be mithral with gold inlay. I was going for the feel of the shield that the elf in the 1st Edition Monster Manual was holding, and will probably do the same with his helm. Here it is: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/Achraziel/valarionshield2.gif[/IMG] I did my best to show the razored edges and give it a metallic sparkle using some photoshopping. The symbol on the shield is his sigil (which I always make for any arcane magic-using character, seeing it as an important detail.) Here is the original of it: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/Achraziel/valarionsigil.gif[/IMG] Here is his sword, which I'm still not done working on. It's pure photoshop work. I have a much higher resolution version, in which you can read the Espruar runes (which I intend to change to Sindarin) and see that the anthropomorphic head on the pommel has pointy ears. Here is the lower res version: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/Achraziel/elvensword.gif[/IMG] Here is the character, Valarion Greymoon, sans armor, which is just a direct scan of what I drew in pencil: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/Achraziel/valarion.gif[/IMG] Tonight I'm going to start working on his Mithral Full Plate, which should take a while for me to finish. When I'm done I'll post it here if anyone's interested. Any comments and/or criticisms are welcome. I started my college career in art but decided I didn't have the dedication or aptitude to crank out commercial art, but I still like to consider myself something of an artist and draw all the time. I wish I could paint and color things better, but I have no talent in that area, and can only really do line art. [/QUOTE]
