I have a request to go out to anyone willing to do it :)

I have an DMPC who runs into the group on occasion, he is Fox Hengykoi(SP) Samurai/Iaijutsu Master. I would love to have his Transistional form drawn in his armor and in his Iaijutsu stance (ready to draw sword in forward Bow stance). His armor is simplistic japanese style leather armor, and only his swords betray his samurai heritage (and levels).

Anyone who can help wiht this would have immense amount of thanks... and good karma ;-)

Sincerely,
Elvnsword

OK, you inspired me to pick up a stylus again for the first time in two years. I couldn't find reference for either the stance or the armor, so I gave him a stance I've seen in classic paintings, and generic lacquered armor (haramaki-do, sune-ate, and sode, no helmet). Done in Painter 7, watercolor and drybrush for the fur, pen, marker, and airbrush for the armor and weapons.

I'm not sure how to insert just a thumbnail in the post, so you'll have to go to the general gallery to see it.

I would like this character drawn... the description is long, I know, but I wrote it for the Todd Lockwood contest as well. :) Still, I would love to have her drawn, especially by one of the talented artists on this thread.

T’aria is one of the rare cambions (half fiend, half human) that survived to adulthood. When first met, she would be constantly mistaken for a satyr… except for the fact that there are no female satyrs, and satyrs are not six-foot-one in height. Her fiendish heritage is difficult to hide in her physical appearance, although she can do so from all except the most observant when she wishes. She has 3-inch forehead horns, goat legs complete with cloven hooves, slight fangs noticeable when she smiles, and claws that even when retracted are often noted as unfashionably long and sharp fingernails. Ignoring those physical attributes, she has the appearance of a rather attractive human female of about 24 years of age (though she is truly over 100). T’aria has long, thick curly black hair with striking deep red highlights shot through it. Her hair falls past her waist, and is naturally falls into that attractive, semi-wild, tumbled curls state many women struggle to achieve. She will often plait small silver and crystal beads into it using small, hardly-noticeable braids for an accent. She always has at least two tiny, (unnoticeable in the wild mass of hair) finger-length poisoned silver daggers in sheaths that are braided into the mass of hair above her shoulders. Naturally, these are "Just for emergencies".

While in her home city of Sigil or elsewhere where her demonic heritage is not a cause for immediate panic, T’aria generally wears more daring attire consisting of a black leather shorts that reveal her legs and cloven hooves, as well as a leather-and-silk top. The top is a simple band of black leather wide enough to cover her ample chest with a network of thin straps to hold it over her shoulders. A foot-wide length of silver-grey sheer silk is sewed to the bottom of the leather, in effect covering her torso from just below her chest to her waist. The overall effect is of the top half of a babydoll teddy, or some similar form of lingerie. One of her companions once wondered aloud which succubus she had robbed for her wardrobe.

When T’aria travels on the Prime Material Plane (where people are generally less accepting of her heritage than the Planes, and her home city of Sigil), she generally uses her skills at disguise along with many years of practice to assume the appearance of a ‘normal’, though highly exotic, human. While in disguise, she rarely utilizes her full six-foot-one height, instead opting to stand about five foot nine, allowing to her legs (and extensive practice) to alter her apparent height. She generally wears a unique headband studded with three-inch spikes that are set two inches apart and are slightly curved to match her forehead horns perfectly. Two of the ‘spikes’ are missing, and there are holes in the headband to correspond to where they would be set; when the headband is on and her horns are through the holes, it is nearly impossible to tell that it is anything other than an unusual piece of jewelry. A full, floor-length gypsy-like skirt conceals her legs and hooves. From the waist up, however, she generally wears much more daring attire – a form-fitting black leather vest, low-cut (and laced only far enough to barely be acceptable in public) is one of her favorites.

There is only one part of her appearance that is only rarely hidden when she travels to the Prime Material Plane. On T’aria’s right arm, she has a large design with geometrically precise and complex curves and twists tattooed to her skin. The design flows from the top of her forearm down, gradually spreading until it wraps completely around her arm at her wrist, where it ill-conceals (but serves to distract from) an old scar, which appears to have been the result of her wrist being nearly completely severed at some time in the past. The tattoo narrows and continues over the top of the back of her hand to her middle finger, on which she wears a silver ring set with a large gem that appears to be a black diamond the same smoky colour as her tattoo. The ink used replicates that smoky shadow-grey that true shadows have; and if one looks too long at the tattoo, it seems to shift slightly with her movements and breath as if it were truly a shadow projected onto the skin. When asked, T’aria merely shrugs and says it is simply a well-done tattoo – nothing more, nothing less.

Although her physical appearance is the most noticeable, T’aria has other, less blatant, traits inherited from her demonic sire. When she becomes angry, her eyes change from their normal cat-like green to a deep red, and seem to glow slightly. Her claws become excruciatingly noticeable (as she either cannot, or does not, retract them), her horns lengthen to between five and six inches, and she is surrounded by the smell of the Abyss – sulfur and brimstone. However, few people have seen her descend deep enough into anger to the point of her losing control, and fewer still have lived to tell the tale.

Ok, I'm going to try this thread again, since it's been around a year since I first posted on it (and the second post to this thread still wants to be drawn! :)).

And I present to you artists for your inspiration:

Signore Derril Maddon of the House Levistus, Avowed of Akkadurai, Brother of the Eight-fold Tower, Peer of the Royal Gardens

The tiefling before you stands 6 feet tall and thin. His albino skin is so thin and pale that the veins and arteries below the surface can be easily seen. Pink albino eyes gaze languidly under short and curly white hair. Two small horns as white as bone protrude from his high forehead; between the horns a silver chain suspends two lusterless grey pearls. Sickly rose-red lips frame a mouth so wide it seems to split his face. His frail hands end in blackened fingernails. He wears a spotless, hoodless white robe, belted at his waist and covered by a similarly spotless grey traveling cloak. Around his neck on a twisted gold necklace hangs a tiny black hand, seemingly carved from obsidian. He holds casually in his right hand a short blue-black rod, tipped at each end with the image of the snake devouring its tail while the left caresses the wand tucked in his belt. His right earlobe is adorned with two small gold earrings; one dangling two white pearls, the other hanging farther up the ear set with a black pearl. Both hands are festooned with rings: jeweled and plain, gold and silver, simple and ornate. Tan leather boots, engraved with arcane symbols show underneath the ankle-length white robe. A small green lizard lies perched upon the leather satchel slung over his shoulder he uses to hold his spellbooks and other possessions.
 

I'll go ahead and toss out a few characters as well, in hopes that someone feels like picking them up. They're both from Arcana Unearthed games, but that should make much difference, since one's a human, and one's a giant (just a big ol' human)....

I swiped the descriptions from our message boards, so there may be a bit more info than you need, but here ya go:

Ad-Doras, Giant 3/Lion Totem Warrior 4/Beast Reaver 2 (Aka Barbarian. ;) )
Numbers: 24/10/18/10/15/18, WF (Giant's Sword), WS (Giant's Sword), Ride-by-Attack, Mounted Combat, Stomp, Way with Animals.

Ad-Doras is a massive creature, standing nearly 10' tall, and weighing in at over 650 pounds. Everything about him is over-sized, from his giant bushy mustache and beard to his oversized sword to his booming voice. He wears his hair (a dark brown, streaked with grey) short, but unruly, looking as though it was simply hacked off with a sharp knife, and spreads around his head in a small nimbus. Discerning eyes may notice that his left ear is all but missing, only a patch of scar left to mark the spot. His eyes are a muddy shade of blue, but they always seem to have a twinkle, as though he had been laughing at a joke moments before. There is a scar that runs across his left eye, from his brow down to the middle of his cheek, but it seems to have either spared his eye, or been treated magically. He also bears a simple black outline tattoo of a lion's paw on his right cheek, and a nose that has clearly been broken several times.

He is typically seen with either food or drink in his hands, and he clearly relishes the thought of more to come. His smile is quick, and seems genuine, and he quickly befriends most of those he comes across. Some might call him naive, and too quick to trust, but hands that could clearly crush a man's head persuade those that wish him harm to turn aside. He laughs quickly, with a roaring laugh that others cannot help but join, even in combat.

He bears a tremendous sword strapped across his back, and the haft is well worn, though of exceeding workmanship. Those who can manage to lift the sword find that it is heavier even than its great size would suggest. Ad-Doras is usually seen wearing his most prized possession, a set of beautiful Dragonscale. The armor is a deep red, almost the color of blood, and extremely well made, though strangely the armor is cold to the touch at all times, even in direct sunlight. The shoulders of the armor bear striations of white and blue, as do the leg bracers, and there is a stylized lion's paw picked out in topaz on the front of the armor. Over top of that armor he wears the hide of a gigantic bear as a cape, and a belt of some sort of inky-black, ferret-like creature. His boots are a patchwork of furs and leather, but seem to hold together despite appearances to the contrary, even over the roughest terrain. He also has standard wilderness gear, along with a spiral horn from some unknown creature, carved with images of storm clouds and a hunting scene.

When travelling, Ad-Doras is usually followed by a pair of lions, one dire, the other simply an extremely healthy specimen. The dire lion, in particular, seems to be barely contained in Ad-Doras' presence, but does not attack, or even menace anyone when he is around. The lions bear muzzles and chains when he is within town, and often stay locked within an iron bound wagon when he is not near them. Other animals seem drawn to Ad-Doras in the wilderness, and it is rare that a predator will threaten him in the wilds.


2nd one:

Ren-Kao, Human Mind Witch 5/Blade Witch 3 (Custom PrC).
Numbers: 6/18/16/14/20/11, WF (Short Sword), CMAA, Ambidexterity, TWF, Weapon Finesse (Short Sword). Ren-Kao fights with two mindblades - basically psionic swords created from his psychic energy. He wears no obvious armor. To be honest, he is primarily an interpretation of Jedi into AU....

Ren-Kao Quai has a slim build, almost scrawny, though he would describe himself as lithe, or wiry. His 126 pounds cling to his 5'9" frame, but he keeps himself wrapped up in a very finely woven voluminous hooded robe of light brown at all times, so it can be difficult to tell. He is, however, not frail by any stretch - he simply hasn't developed his musculature. His hair is very deep brown and extremely long, falling to his lower back, and is always pulled back in an intricate braid, secured by a beautifully made green leather strap embossed with various runes. Two beads displaying a glowing eye on one side, and a raised hand on the other dangle from the end. His face is meticulously clean-shaven, the only other mark on it being a small tattoo at the top of his nose, of a small eye. The tattoo is lightly done, and is nearly lost against his darker skin. His skin is dusky, though it is clearly human - likely he is from the southern reaches, somewhere near the Verrik empire - while his eyes are a muddled brown.

His bearing is at odds with his apparent weakness, however - he has a confident walk and piercing eyes which, while not challenging, do not seem to shy away from direct eye contact. He bears no obvious armaments, though a small, extremely well crafted buckler rests on his left arm, the same eye embossed on the front, though it is closed here. However, his manner implies that he has other abilities. He wears several rings on his hands, most quite plain bands of simple silver and bronze. He has anywhere from 4-6 rings on at a time, with two that are clearly of higher quality than the others. Careful observers will note that those two tend to change from day to day, and that upon close inspection, they seem likely to be fakes. He does, however, always wear a bronze and a silver ring, though again, they change hands from day to day. He also has a small quartz crystal earring dangling from his right ear.

Ren-Kao's movements are usually fairly precise, with little wasted effort. When resting, he tends to steeple his hands in front of him unconsciously, or bury them in his robe. His voice has little inflection for the most part, though it is not monotone - he simply does not seem to allow his voice to betray excitement or emotion - those who know the pattern and accent would detect a Verrik influence in his speech.
 

Torc Thunderaxe
Barbarian - 8 / Fighter - 2 (working torwards Frenzied Beserker PrC)
6'7" 255# Blue eyes Blonde hair

Looks a lot like Arnie did in Conan. Torc is very much a beastmaster type barbarian. Loves to rage into battle with no thought to himself. Only to get the first hit in as to give a better chance for his comrades to be victorious.

Torc possessions include a Suit of Celestial Armor, Adamantine Large Shield with a Star Ruby set in the middle and 14 Tiger-eye Tourquise radiating from the center. over his armor Torc wears a Great Coat made from a Dire Lion's pelt. The mane is drapped across the shoulders with 6 Bloodstones as the buttons (think Ghetto-fabulous). He wears a necklace with 2 White Dragon cannies hanging from it. Torc weapons include a Huge Frost Great Axe where the blades look like the are made from living ice. Torc final possession is a Furious Great Axe made from Adamantine w. mithral enlays of Dwarven runes.

Later in Torc level progression he will acquire a Dire Bear as an Animal Companion, so if you want to draw that in.


Thanks in advance
Rok
