Conaill said:You take Paypal? Never used it before, but I guess I'll have to "get with the times" at some point.
(Heck, you're in Boston, right? Guess I could just *hand* you a cheque, but that would require actually getting up from my chair.)
Anyway... some more details on Conaill:
The majority of his full plate armor (minus breastplate and helmet) was "liberated" from an orcish blackguard. It's lacquered black and looks Roman in design (yes, I know the Romans didn't have full plate armor, but that's what my DM told me.)
I do indeed take Paypal
I'm hoping to do a drawing of your character some time this week, I'm looking forward to the challenge of drawing a character on a horse.

Cool!
Actually, I think I would prefer either the unmounted greatsword or sword and shield version. I never really got a chance to develop the mounted combat aspect of my character, and it looks like we're facing a huge dungeon when the campaign starts up again...
I'll gladly send you some money for a B/W version. Your coloring is quite good, but I just love your B/W drawings so much it seems like a shame to cover them up! (Dunno how you can get the black armor across in a B/W drawing, though... could be interesting.)

Got some questions for you......
Do you use a sketch thingy instead of a mouse when you do your drawings? Or do you draw and scan, then paint? If you do it all on the sketch thingy, is it easy to adapt and use? About how much do they run in price and where do you find them? Oh, and one more thing, what exactly is it called, lol?
I hate to invest alot of money in something that is just a hobby for now, but I am curious. My drawings might come out alot faster if I didn't have a rollerball mouse, me thinks.

I do my actual drawings on a piece of paper (usually plain ol' typing paper) in pencil, then I ink the lines with a pen. I then scan the drawing, and using photoshop and a mouse I color them.
Those 'sketchy things' are commonly called drawing tablets, and I wish I could afford one
They're made by a company called WACOM and go for about $100. I've seen them sold in computer stores. I used one before and they are a lot cooler than a mouse, the tablet is pressure sensitive so the harder you press the darker your lines get. Hope that helps

Drawing tablets huh, *blushes*, guess my wheels turn slow, BUT THEY DO TURN! LOL.......
Thanks for the info, although, it will be awhile before I can invest in something like that.
Guess I'll just keep on plucking along with pencil, pad, scanner and PSP with rollerball mouse, lol...

another "little something out of the ordinary"...
Kip, before I say anything else, may I just say that the work you've posted in this thread has been fantastic...
last I heard the "proposed" Netbook of Legendary Classes was looking for some artists and while I can't speak for the other authors, I know I'd love to have my classes brought to life in your style...
anyway... just in case you're interested in something else to post here, a player in one of my adventures took an interesting character that I'll detail below...
Trinnen val Kemeer
human female 27
Fighter4/Rogue3/Lasher4
known for her beautiful features & raven hair, her dark studded leather armour and the whip-dagger that she wields with devastating skill...
just picture the most deadly Dominatrix you can think of...
just an idea...

Knightfall
World of Kulan DM
My Story Hour characters
Hey Kip, you do really great work. The pencils are nice and I really liked your colored renditions. (Dr Midnight's coloring job on the rat rider was cool as well.)
I know I've come into this kind of late but I've been mulling over the idea of getting character portraits done for several key PCs and NPCs for my campaign, World of Kulan.
Now, I'm not that rich right now - broke really. But I would love it if you could find the time to draw some of the characters featured in my World of Kulan StoryHour.

This would include the three main PCs and two main NPCs: Bactra Redwind, Dabuk Tigerstorm, Jeddar Silversun, Dvalin Thunderstone and Mesik Tindertwig. Dabuk and Bactra are the two important ones to me. They are cousins but are more like brothers.
Dabuk Tigerstorm (3rd lvl ranger)
male half-elf
5'5", 124 lbs
Age: 20-21
Hair: Brown (cut-short but over the ears)
Eyes: Black
Appearance: tends towards non-descript clothing
Mannerisms: Somber, Serious, Jaded
Weapons: Dagger, shortbow w/ masterwork arrows
Gear: Leather armor, breeches, tunic, hard-leather boots, hooded cloak, backpack, waterskin, belt pouch, plus any wilderness survival essentials. Dabuk is practical when it comes to being prepared.
Magic: Short sword +1; curved with runes along the length of the blade.
Species Enemy: Ogres
He is very average looking for a half-elf (Cha 11). He is hardened, like a modern day special forces soldier that has seen way to much combat (Str 16, Dex 13, Con 15). His face would be able to express many masks of emotion, but those feeling would never touch his soul. He is calculating and has strength of will (Int 15, Wis 14). He doesn't trust or love easily but is loyal to his family, especially his grandfather.
To truly understand him one must know where his hatred of ogres comes from. His mother and his aunt were killed by ogres when he was very young. He watched it happen, heard them die horribly. It tainted his soul. (My Story Hour describes this event in his life, as if you could see his nightmare.)
Bactra Redwind (3rd lvl wizard)
male forest elf (sylvan)
5'1", 113 lbs
Age: 113
Hair: Brown (shoulder-length)
Eyes: Brown
Appearance: Clean, well-dressed
Mannerisms: Charming, Quick-tempered
Weapons: Dagger, mithral-shod staff (masterwork weapon), shortspear.
Gear: Breeches, tunic, soft-leather boots, cloak, waterskin, spell component pouches (several), belt pouch. Bactra tends to dress in dark earth tones but doesn't like to wear robes. To uncomfortable.
Magic: Wand of fear, a few arcane scrolls, ring of protection +2, spellbook.
If Dabuk is the somber, serious one. Then Bactra is the fun-loving one, for the most part. He is fond of human woman but is also a little unsure of himself unless encouraged (Cha 12). He bares some of his cousin's pain through the elven ritual that showed him Dabuk's nightmare. But he doesn't let that weigh on his soul the way his cousin does. After all, he needs to be there for Dabuk, which means keeping his mind alert and calm (Int 17). He does have a tendency to 'go-off' when he feels as though he has been really hurt emotionally (Wis 12).
He isn't as strong as his cousin but his forest elven roots make him sturdier than your average silver elf (Str 15, Con 14). This ancestry has gifted him with outstanding agility and hand-eye co-ordination (Dex16).
Bactra started off dirt poor but soon came to love the beautiful, fine things that adventuring allowed him to afford (sometimes), He doesn't dress in gaudy colors or fine silk. To him, fine clothes means warm, well-made clothes where it is cold and light, loose fitting clothes where it is hot. He will dress up for special occasions but tends to follow Dabuk's lead when it comes to being prepared for life on the road.
Well, that's all I'll burden you with for now. But let me know if you want/ have time to do the other three characters. And let me know what you think of my Story Hour (when you have a chance to read it).
