Steel Dragons' Art

[Piratecat]

Technically speaking a goatee is the close-cropped beard with no mustache, and a van dyke is the close-cropped beard with mustache. It's usually used incorrectly. And I'm a total pedant! No worries. The "trying to whistle" sketch is exactly right if you add the mustache bit and trim down the beard a bit.

Dranko's pants as drawn are more form-fitting than I usually picture them. It gives the picture a little bit of a superhero costume vibe you probably don't want. I like the top of his outfit very much. The whip Coaltongue probably looks a bit more epic-magicky than the one in the picture, however; Dranko made it himself, and he's not exactly the master of understatement.

Sagiro Story Hour III

Continuing with the character's of Abernathy's Company in Sagiro's Story Hour, everyone's favorite chef/baker/fighter/cleric of Yondalla, Ernest Roundhill.

Anyone who doesn't know the story can find it here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/story-h...11-8-10-a.html on ENworld. OR, ENworlder StevenAC has done a fantastic job of compiling the whole story (from waaaay back at the beginning) in PDF form here: Sagiro's Story Hour, collected by Steven Cooper

Look forward to any and all comments.

Holy crap on a stick! I love Ernie. Going to show KidCthulhu right now (even if she's asleep.)

EDIT: her phrase was "frikkin' brilliant!" You really knocked it out of the park on this one. I think his ears may be a bit pointier than she pictures them, but I love the touches on the armor and the serving platter shield.

 

[MetaVoid]

Would you draw characters outside of story hours?

I have several characters in living worlds and while I'm finding most of the pictures satisfying, I have two that I could not find that would fit.

 

[steeldragons]

Sure, Metavoid! I'll draw characters outside of Story Hours.

PM me with the details of the character.

Thanks for asking.

That's what I was going for. lol.

Tell her I'm sorry she was woken up, but so very happy she (and you) like it.

I do think he came out pretty great...can't really go wrong with a holy crusading halfling baker. hahaha. Seriously, Ernie's a great character (as are they all) and Sagiro does such a fantastic job writing him...he was really kinda easy/practically drew himself.

More to come...hope everyone else comes out as well.
