Ok, Here's the deal. I've been running an Iron Heroes game set in a more or less typical Norse/Viking style setting. Up to this point, the majority of encounters have been with various creatures I've collectively called Dwerki. The Dwerki are nominally a type of Fey creature, but more along the lines of how goblins are supposed to be fey (according to myth), not pixies or fairies, or grigs or anything like that. In Norse myth, the few times you encounter Fey, its usually a fight for your life.
Anyway, my Dwerki have dark skin, sort of dark red to black (for the smallest) or up through grey and white (on the largest ones), and they are flesheaters. They have been known to raid villages just to carry off anyone they can catch for consumption later. They come in a variety of sizes. As of this moment, my players have only encountered medium and small varieties, but I have stats for them up to huge size. They usually carry crude swords and bows. The smallest of the Dwerki usually act as scouts, and try to snipe from cover, rarely coming into direct contact. The bigger they are, the more likely they are to be combat brutes, with the huge variety (when they show up) having a distinct preference for bull rush attacks. They dont wear true armor, instead relying on their thick skin to protect them from damage. They do wear skins of creatures they've eaten, and they might make totems or fetishes from bones and other articles of dead people or creatures.
Up to this point, Ive been using stats for goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears. However, I recently went through and created my own stats for these creatures, and would like to have a few pictures to show my group of what they look like. I also run this via OpenRPG, so I would like to have some good small images, so I can use them as miniatures within the system.
Pixel sizes:
Small cretures are usually 30 by 30 pixels
Medium cretures are usually 60 by 60
Large are usually 120x120
Huge are usually 180 by 180.
Anyone want to take a stab at these? I need individual pictures of these things, though a group shot could be suitably interesting. I can crop images myself to the sizes listed above if you dont want to worry about the smaller scales. I just dont have the time or the talent to draw these things myself.
The end result should be very reminiscent of their goblinoid origins, yet be thematically appropriate for a norse/viking theme (with lots of snow, mountains and evergreens), and yet not be a simple modification of the Monster manual goblinoids.
