Paging Mr. Claudio Pozas [Iconic Art] - Support the Iconics!

[Ashrem Bayle]

Mr. Pozas,

I hope this message finds you well. While bowsing your very impressive depictions of the iconics, I noticed a few lacking that I, and likely many others, would very much like to see. Of note, there seems to be no good picture of Aramil...anywhere. He got a miniature, and a shot on the cover of Red Hand of Doom, but that's it for our poor iconic male wizard. Also, we don't have a good depiction of Jozan or Ialdabode, which I would love to see.

So consider these requests, and I hope some others will join in, clamoring for more of your wonderful work.

Thanks,
Ash

Can I second this? I'd like to second this. Consider this seconded.

Considered.
Not only would I simply love to see Claudio's take on these other characters, but since they look so much more interesting than the WOTC artist's takes on them, I decided that I want to use his art for character portraits in an all iconics game.

My favorite piece is Regdar. I can put my finger on it, but he looks so much better in quit introspection than in the action pieces we usually see. Krusk was pretty brilliant as well. I can't imagine it was easy taking this:

...and turning it into this:

And Pozas' Mialee is a HUGE improvement over everything else we've seen.

Who's Aramil again?

You're lucky, Ashrem, as I have a mostly clear schedule today (aside from taking the kid to the doctor). I'll do Jozan (for the record, my Ialdabolde would look pretty much like Locke in 'Lost'... In fact, I'm now adding Terry O'Quinn to my cast of the Iconics).

I haven't advertised that much yet, but as of this moment, take note, everyone:


I am taking comissions. Want a pencil-only character sketch? A painted portrait (like the class illustrations from the PHB)? A custom-made counter? It's all just a PayPal away! Contact me at claudiopozas@gmail.com to learn about rates and schedule.

Also, if you're at GenCon, I'll be (mostly) at the Fiery Dragon booth, and and will be drawing character sketches for US$10, on the spot.

Awesome!

Aramil is the elven wizard:

He's the guy tossing the magic missles.

Awesome. The last time I went to GenCon (the last year at Milwaukee), I got to talk briefly with you. This time I'll have money to buy some of your art.


Peace and smiles

Here ya go.

The way I see it, Jozan is the "father figure" of the Iconics, even the long-lived ones like Mialee and Thordek. He's the wisest (and more gregarious than Vadania, and less judgemental than Alhandra), prompting others to come to him with their problems. So I gave him a calm, collected look.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Very Cool! Thank you very much!
Do you intend to tackle Aramil? Kerwyn?

Sorry for pestering you, I'm sure you're busy, and don't hesitate to say "no". I'd just like to see your interpretation of these other guys.

I can vouch for the spectacular quality of Claudio's character illos. I got a set for my Barsoom gang:

Isaac, Elena, Etienne, Arrafin, and Nevid.

Awesome. The image of Elena is my favourite image Claudio's ever done, actually. She looks so awesomely bad-ass, so grim and yet so fetching at the same time...

Money well-spent, let me tell you.

That's great - but where's the sun-themed codpiece?
