More amazing work, Kip! Though I did prefer the older style of drawings. However, that's like comparing a bar of gold with a gold-plated bar of gold; I really like your work.

A dwarven female, ugly as all heck (her beard isn't even well groomed!), in breastplate armor weilding a huge claymore.
she's a berzerker priestess of Haela Brightaxe, dwarven godess of luck in battle. Concentrates much more on the fighting and 'zerking than the cleric side.

Cronn is the Greater God of Barbarians, Cold, Community, Family, Protection and Strength. He is known by several titles but the one used most often is Lord of the North. He is worshiped mainly by barbarians but elves, half-elves, fighters and rangers also pay tribute to him.
His Avatar always takes the form of a huge barbarian with long brown hair and a long beard, both touched by a hint of grey. His symbol is swirling snow around an axe and he wields a greataxe called North Rage. His home plane is the Material Plane and his godly realm is known as the Heart of Ice.
Cronn loves his people but was saddened by the death of his godly children and those mortals lost during the Divinity War with the Pantheon of Swords. He has been known to become lost to melancholy for years at a time, which causes the Northlands to become gripped in long, cold winters.
His son Jaeger died to protect the pantheon from Hiisi and his evil brood, which has left him heartbroken. It was shortly after this that Cronn created the Heart of Ice north of the continent of Harqual in the Arctic Circle.
And here are some of his more telling moments during the Divinity War...
...The battle was not going well. Fiends and celestials fought against one another, as the Lord of the North waded through them. The Rage had not taken him yet as he waded through the onslaught of the vile hordes of Hiisi. The Lord of Darkness was nowhere in sight. Not that Cronn was surprised; Hiisi would never lead the first charge. He was too much of a coward.
Zealot was gone. He said the words again, not believing them.
Mussin, Emcey, and Teve had surrounded Inanna; Cronn had thought his wife would surely die. But then Zealot had come out of nowhere and taken Emcey from behind. The dark god screaming as his essence was destroyed. Teve had spit foul epithets at Cronn’s young godson and charged into him. The two grappled together rolling through battled between Hiisi’s dark horde and Jalivier’s soldiers of light.
Inanna had regained herself and Mussin retreated from her. He had known that going one on one with the Goddess of War would have got him killed. He sent fiends after her, of course, but he might as well been sending sheep to the slaughter. She cut them down one by one, trying to get to Zealot. She came upon them just as Teve put his sword through Zealot’s chest. Inanna’s scream echoed across the battlefield and Cronn knew Zealot was gone. She avenged her godson before Teve could move sending the dark god to join Emcey in oblivion.
And while Cronn grieved for his son he kept his mind on the battle at hand. There would be enough time to grieve later, if there was a later. The second wave of fiends came through the portal from the Abyss sooner than expected. Hiisi was putting everything on the line. Cronn was sure of one thing, a pantheon would fall this day.
Another portal opened and Cronn thought that the day was lost. Instead of fiends, the strangest army Cronn had ever seen poured from the portal. Fairies! Cronn was sure he was seeing things. But then Titania and Oberon came through the portal. Fiends all over the battlefield howled as Titania’s powerful magic ran through them. The fiends scattered and a legion of dwarven petitioners took advantage of the distraction pushing the fiends back. The Sylvan Queen and her Consort walked to Cronn. Their faces showed sadness and Cronn wondered what could have upset them so. Then Damh came between them and looked up at his barbarian friend with tears in his eyes. He handed the Lord of the North his granddaughter’s favorite shawl.
Cronn’s eyes grew wide as he felt the rage take hold of him. His cry of anguish thundered over the battlefield and the fiends knew intense fear. Inanna turned and saw a side of her husband that she had never seen before. He seemed larger now and his eyes glowed with godfire. He thundered into the heaviest fighting and slaughter dozens of fiend with blow after blow of his huge greataxe, North Rage. The celestials parted and let the Great Lord of the North take the battle to the dark ones...
...The two Greater Gods of Harqual raged across the sky, both matching the others speed and intensity. They fought from the Savanna of the Sun to the peaks of the Greystone Mountains. Cronn knew that Tu was a formidable foe and used all his strength against the vile cat god.
Cronn was starting to feel the rage flow through his godsoul again but suppressed it concentrating all his energy on keeping Tu’s great spear at bay. His great axe, North Rage, wasn’t the most effective weapon against the cat god’s spear but he wouldn’t fight with anything else. North Rage was part of him, like an extension of his essence. Tu never showed any sort of emotion during the battle, except to hurl insults at the barbarian god.
“You pantheon is collapsing, Great Cronn.” His words mocking Cronn’s heritage and kin. “Soon I will send you to oblivion as I did Seraph!”
That did it. The rage took Cronn in a way he had never experienced and he roared a thunderous barbarian war cry and charged the cat god. Tu had never seen anything like it and actually wondered if he was afraid. Cronn’s Avatar grew to twice its normal size. He towered over the cat god, as North Rage smashed into Tu’s great spear, splitting it in half like a mortal weapon.
Yes, Tu was sure that what he was feeling was fear. He fled before the onslaught of the Lord of the North. Heading for the city of his people, Tattenger. There he would be at his strongest; there he could face Cronn on his own terms.
The cat god quickly outdistanced the raging barbarian god and reached Tattenger far enough ahead of Cronn to summon all his power. Tu’s great spear reformed in the presence of Tu’s greatest power and when Cronn finally arrived, Tu’s Avatar was almost the same size as the raging barbarian’s.
The two clashed above the streets of Tattenger for hundreds of mortal hours. Each gaining the upper hand and then losing almost as quickly. Tu’s essence started to dwindle and Cronn’s rage sapped his strength as well. Soon the two gods fought like mortals in the streets of Tattenger, brawling like two rivals for the same wench.
Cronn used North Rage to send Tu’s Avatar into a nearby building, destroying it completely. “Enough, I’ve had enough of this nonsense! I have no time for this!”...
Is that enough for ya!
Cheers!

OK, Maglubiyet is right here; notice Oni's version of him at the bottom of the document.
also, if you like, you can try your hand at the three lesser goblinoid gods, Khurgorbaeyag, Nomog-Geaya, and Bargrivyek. i was not finished with their stats, but that shouldn't affect your rendition.
also, i had some dragon gods, but i don't know if you do dragons or not.

Something different for you to try if you want
Hey Kip, if you got the time (in about a month since you're so busy doing requests) then give this creature a shot, illustration wise. I cut out the statistical stuff I didn't think you'd need. Anyone who wants to see the full wrteup, go here.
(And DON'T think mind flayer when doing it! Just based on my description.)
Kraken Lord
Huge Monstrous Humanoid (Aquatic)
Speed: 30 ft., swim 20ft.
Face/Reach: 15ft./15ft. (30 ft. with tentacles)
Abilities: Str 26, Dex 13, Con 14, Int 25, Wis 23, Cha 10.
Climate/Terrain: Any aquatic or underground
Organization: Solitary
Alignment: Always neutral evil
A kraken lord is an aggressive, cruel, intelligent creature related to krakens. Some believe they are the next step in a kraken’s evolutionary process. Though while not as large or strong as a kraken they are more intelligent and, thus, more dangerous. Kraken lords breathe both air and water normally.
Kraken lords are most often found thousands of feet below the ocean but are becoming more common at shallower depths and underground environments. They love to flood Underdark caverns and cities near the ocean, allowing them to move in a take over. Once in these positions, it is almost impossible to rid a region of a kraken lord, as it tends to align with aboleths, kuo-toas, and sahuagin. Strangely, kraken lords don’t associate with krakens and will have one hunted down and killed if it wanders into its domain.
Kraken lords have the head of a kraken, along with its telltale tentacle appendages and a large beak on the front of their necks. They stand upright on two legs and also have two arms. A kraken lord’s four humanoid limbs end in four webbed digits with one of those digits opposable. A kraken lord’s eight tentacles are similar to a kraken’s and nearly as deadly. Six of the creature’s tentacles are 15 feet long; the remaining two are 30 feet long and covered with cruel barbs. From looking at a kraken lord, one would lead to believe that they would have trouble walking but the truth is that their powerful bodies are well muscled and they have no trouble walking on dry land or using their tentacles to attack while on land.

Just when I think it can't get any better... Thank you ever so much Kipthebold for your pic of Kal. I have been looking for a decent pic of him for YEARS!
Some of the pics in the last batch look a little "muddy". Looks like you might need a little more practice with the ink washes but, otherwise, really excellent work, as usual!
