LrdApoc please look at this

I was bored and wanted to see some of the original posts and found your thread with art. It is amazing and I am wondering if you would do three characters for me.

They are

Taka
Fighter1/Wizard 7 Half-Elf
Golden Hair
Barely Noticeable reptilian skin
longer leaner limbs
claws
orientally dressed in kimono
katana
greatsword
many spellbooks
a ring on his right hand
a staff of fire
a belt with many pouches
a cloak
a staff of fire
I say he is half-elf because he still dosen't know what his father is.

Bruumar
Male Centaur Druid
scimitar of frost
scimitar of fire
leather armor
long loose black hair
longbow on back

Roscoe
Male Halfling Rouge
studded leather
composite shortbow
shortsword at side
one daggar in boot
eight daggars across chest
cloak with the hood down
long braided blond hair
green eyes
extra short

If you decide to do them then thank you.

sorry it took so long to reply...

I'll see what I can do. Give me a week or so to get them done and I'll post them here. Also i can send them to your e-mail in a zip once I get them done. What size would you like them, and what format?

My e-mail is Ares0415@yahoo.com and the size is any size that is good for you. I would like the pic to be in JPEG format. Thanks.

1st one

I'm going to post the Centaur for review.. this is a 1st attempt.. let me know if the image works for you, and if the changes I made are alright. I did not put the bow on his back, as I'm still (in reality) not sure how you put a longbow on your back.. since my research has shown longbows averages 6 1/2 feet strung, I placed it in his right hand in stead, and hung the scimitar of fire on his left hip. Not sure how to work in the other scimitar.

Also questions on the 1st character.. Taka..

When you say many spellbooks, do you mean 'travel' books or tomes? also.. the greatsword will not really fit under a cloak well.

I know these are RPG conventions, but when it comes to designing a character things can sometimes get a bit wierd.

I like to modifications to Bruumar.

As for th Greatsword and Taka, try having it outside the cloak. Post a rough draft of that pic and I'll tell you if the look is good.

The spellbooks are tomes, and there are 4(I didn't have my character sheet with me when I wrote the description).

I also recently got a Daikyu, which is the oriental version of a composite longbow with the grip closer to the bottom.

Thanks

With an adventuring centaur, the easiest solution is to give him a "travel pack" that is slung on the horse body much like a trail bundle for mules (like a sadle but with no seat). Then you can hang a long bow (strung or unstrung) horizontally from the side of the pack and it will stay out of the way but still be comfortably at hand . If you are feeling really clever, the buckle for the pack will be on top with a good sized belt pull so, unlike a mule, the centuar can reach back and dump the pack quickly if he gets into combat.

Two scimitars suggest's dual weilding, so I'd either place them on opposite hips for cross-draw, or in an X over the shoulders for cross draw that way (in which case a quiver of arrows can go on the opposite hip from the side with the bow). I don't know if the poster mentioned it, but are the centaur's feet shod? A good, heavy set of iron horseshoes can go a long way towards staving in the head of an orc if you are a fighty-type centaur .

Nice detailing on the horse body. I go for a slightly more refines look in the face of my centaurs, but that's just a personal foible. Looks like you're off to a fine start . Up for another centuar character sketch?
