Odd NPC art request (will pay for artwork)

[kengar]

In my Warhammer FRP campaign, the party is investigating a series of grisly murders in a small town (angling for reward money). The victims have been torn apart by some beast with fangs (at least that's how it appears). The truth is the captain of the watch is a mutant. His stomach has a huge fanged mouth (like an abyssal maw), dripping with saliva, and four roper-like sticky tentacles around it that can lash out to grab prey and pull it towards the teeth.

The captain (Franz Niederlich) is 5'10", 170 lbs, Brown/Brown, and carries a simple, straight sword. He wears typical Warhammer medieval/renaissance-era townsman clothes. (Hat, Tunic, Vest, Pantalons, and Boots)

What I'd love is a picture of him pulling open his tunic and revealing the mouth and tentacles on/in his stomach so they can attack. The mouth is like a gash in his flesh with teeth. The tentacles are boneless, like an anenome. He should look ticked off and crazed/horrified if possible.I want to show the players the picture when the captain's mutation is revealed so they can get a sense of just how freaky-looking he is.

The medium isn't too important. Ideally I'd like line art, but whether it's B&W, color, pencil, pen, computer graphic, etc. isn't a big deal. The tone is grisly and grim, not cartoonish, though.

[kengar]

Let me know if you get your PC working for the scan. Do you have a going rate? Do you have any sample artwork online that I can see? Thanks.

Kengar, may I recommend Acquana? She has quite a nice gallery of work on her site here, and this thread on the boards showcases a ton more of her work, some of it from the requests of boardmembers.

looks like the pc thing will be working ok---i'll have some stuff up over the weekend.

Are the tentacles in the mouth or are they attached on the sides---also, does the mouth look like a mouth or more like a wound.
Are the tentacles fleshy/muscular (grossly suggestive), segmented (like an earthworm), or suckered (like an octopus)?
Are the teeth random & jagged or more uniform?

 

[kengar]

The teeth are sort of jagged, but sharp. The tentacles surround the mouth, like fleshy mandibles (no suckers or segments). The mouth is basically a gash in the stomach, maybe with a tongue. The whole thing should be horrific and grisly.

Also I forgot to mention the captain is in his 40's, so not old but not a kid either.

The tentacles are sort of elastic, but can get up to about 8' long. The idea is that they lash out and grab a foe, then pull him to "the Maw."

As far as facial hair, I hadn't thought about it. Maybe a mustache to show he's a little older than the PCs (shaves regularly, etc.)?
