Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mondain" data-source="post: 484868" data-attributes="member: 8948">I've just started drawing again after some years off (have never had much confidence in it). I used to do PC portraits for my old AD&D 2e, Warhammer frpg, Call of Cthulhu, and Rifts groups. Now that I am DMing two 3e games, because I cannot find the art I want I am more or less trying to do it on my own. I used to use pencil & paper for art but I've been trying to do it with Paintshop Pro and in the last two days have been trying to improve. I am new to EN World and figured this forum is a good place to post portraits and other art. I only have a few right now and some aren't that good (I am still learning).This is what got me started in the first place. One of my players wanted a picture of my primary villain, Mondain (yes borrowed from Ultima, I award bonuses for anyone able to pick out gaming trivia details in my campaign), who was depicted in a black marble bust. I did not have any pic and felt bad so I decided to look for a pic of him. I could not find anything even close (I checked Elfwood and even pro galleries), so I made my own pic. I was not too hot in the first attempt and will probably redraw this one, adding in all the missing detail.<img src="http://www.100megsfree.com/nyarlathotep/Sosaria/Mondain%20001.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> This was my second foray into Paintshop Pro, with which I was having a little more success (still getting used to the mouse). He is Dante of Kelemvor, a cleric of the Faerunian God of Death and integral character in my campaign. Although, maybe the pic does not convey it well he is a silvered aasimar of sorts. I was still just trying to get some basic skills down with this one.[IMG]http://www.100megsfree.com/nyarlathotep/Sosaria/Dante%20001.gifThis character is a fire genasi pyromancer I am developing for an encounter with my PCs, and my third attempt with Paintshop. Because they are so overpowered (we take turns DMing a multiverse now and I am DM no. 2 and the last guy was new to D&D) I've really had to make him overpowered. He's got four shield guardians with a shot of quickened maximized repeat fireball and I gave him Simbul's Spell Matrix from Magic of Faerun. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> He is named Wrenda after the infamous villain from the first Wizardry game.<img src="http://www.100megsfree.com/nyarlathotep/Sosaria/Wrenda%20001.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Anyway, let me know what you think of these and if anyone would like me to keep posting them. If someone needs help with a portrait, I can try my best, too.Dave S. aka Mondain</blockquote>
