The EN World FREE Character Portrait Request Thread!

[Knightfall]

Its up to you man. If you don't mind, you may do it. But if you're too busy. I'll try to update it when I can.

We'll have to wait and see. I have certain ''responsibilities' I must get back to. (Life has been... slow, lately. Things have picked up in the last month but I'm still stuck in neutral.)

Btw Knightfall1972, didn't you have a request for a character in one of your story hours? I'd be willing to do one if its cool. Plus, dude....you started this thread! I need to hook you up with a drawing! Pick a character from you story hour big guy...and I'll do it!

Yes, the character's name is Uhtmar Umal-Arak, he is a Minotaur Steam Knight from my Horns of Honor Short Story. Here's a link: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1390464#post1390464

Plus, Mesik Tindertwing is a character from my World of Kulan Story Hour. I'm also currently writing my Gods of Harqual Story Hour, which is based on the same campaign world.

Realmsian Dragonstar is on hiatus right now. Too many things to write and not enough time. However, I just bought the Dragonstar Player's Companion and once I start reading it I might get back into the storyline with a fresh perspective.

All of these story hours have a link in my sig.

Cheers!

Can't believe notjer hasn't checked in to see that picture of his character. Eigam does magnificent work.

I've been playing Brother Fendric over in the Casual DnD thread (also here) for over a year, and I'd dearly appreciate even just a head shot of him. Several times, I've thought about scratching his portrait up myself, but I've chickened out each time. Maybe posting him up here (and waiting for someone talented to 'adopt' him) will get me going:

Fendric is a 31-year-old half-elf cleric of Pelor, currently breaching 5th level (presuming he survives this encounter, which isn't for certain at present). He goes 5' 8", 170, his eyes are aquamarine blue, and his hair is fawn-haired and dorkily-cut like a Franciscan friar (go wild!). He talks too much, and is considerably pompous at times, but his CHA is 14, so it must be the boyish good looks. He's of wiry build, not terribly athletic, but of decent (13) STR.

His waking garb is cleric's vestments, peeking out at the collar from under chain shirt (no helmet) that is a couple of sizes too big for him, held in place by a thick velvet mantle over the top, sewn in the colors of Pelor [which I'm guessing are reds, oranges and yellows. I imagine it makes him look like a linebacker of Pelor, rather than a cleric, but nonetheless...]. He also sports bracers of armor, a ring given to him by halflings that has Yondalla's horn carved on it, his flail, and a silver holy symbol in the shape of a sun, which he wears on a leather necklace.

So, like I said, I'd love to just have a head shot (complete with the dorky haircut), but if anyone decides to draw all of him, he can just be standing there. I also really like the classic style of illustration, but I'm not picky if someone wants to try a comic-style version.

Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to try this.

Hey Chain, do you want to update your previous list of requests or should I take over. It is a great idea to keep track but I'm not sure how much effort should be made in keeping such a request list up to date.



That is an amazing image for 20 minutes of work with a pencil. You have a lot of talent eigam. Keep up the great work.

And welcome to the boards!

Cheers!

Damn thx man, he looks cool! thats what I call a great job he is better than I had hope

 

[notjer]

Hey,
I'm fairly new here. I did this at lunch; it took me a while to find a working scanner here at work. This is notjer's Rogue Wood Elf. Fairly quick illustration, about 20 min, all with pencil. Hope you like it notjer. Let me know what you think. Later.



Wood Elf Quoted from Notjer
"Rogue Wood Elven, 5,5 inch, 121 pund, 124 years, black hair to shoulder, deep grey eyes.
15 streng, 20 dex, 13 con 15 charisma(beautiful). clothes/gear: studded leahter armor, black blank cloak, have an black heavy crossbow, and a very long red/blue dagger(nearly a short sword). he is very clever..."

Ups! wrong post
It was ofc to u! thx man, better than I would believe cool work u had done there!

 

[eigam]

Thanks Notjer I'm glad you liked the illustration. Knight fall, and King of Chaos, thanks allot for the great comments. I put allot of black in the character so there wasn't much detail in the main body, which made it allot quicker. Chain Lightning, thanks for the welcome and the comment man. It's always a great complement when a great illustrator comments on your stuff, thanks. By the way your illustrations ROCK! I like the last one you did allot, great job.
dpdx, thanks for the comment, I took an early lunch and cranked your portrait out really quick. Wasn't quite sure what you meant by a mantle, I was thinking like a set of belts or something. And his hair, I wasn't sure if he had a friar tuck, or just the bowl cut. So I opted for the bowl cut. I hope you like it; let me know what you think.

What I think is, "Thank you so very, very much. You are an absolute talent at this. It looks so awesome."

I really like it - very David Bowie-esque. I'm amazed that the resemblance is so close to what I had in mind. What, do all half-elves look alike?

The dorky haircut was for artistic license - the temple of Pelor and later at camp, with a dagger, aren't great places to get your hair cut, so I figured Fendric shouldn't be any different. You came through, eigam, and that looks more like what it should look like now.

Again, thank you. You'll also be happy to know he survived the latest encounter. 5th level!

[DM never told me what a mantle was, either, but I'm guessing either a sleeveless collared type thing, or a full-on tunic to go over the armor.]

One of my fellow gamers had seen the pics of my characters that I get from this wonderful site and asked if one of their character could also be posted so here we go:

Cade Bigfeet:
A halfling of average height and build with short light-brown-blondish hair, tied with a thin red band. He wears a red tunic and brown trousers, and black boots all of good quality, over which he wears masterwork studded leather armor. Two large daggers hang from a belt on both sides.

 

[KingOfChaos]

I believe a mantle is simply a covering that goes around the neck and covers the shoulders. A sort of really short cloak

 

[dpdx]

Aha. Maybe I can draw something like that, then, and attach it to him, paper doll style.

 

[eigam]

Hey, Sorry about the mantle thing. I just got out of a boring meeting. I sat in the back and drew almost the whole time. I hope it looked like I was taking notes and not drawing. Well I did Ology's character. He was fun to do, I didn't have the description, but I read it right before the meeting. I hope you like it Ology. Let me know what you think.
Here's a slightly different version, not so ROCK like in his look.
