Mithril Dragon,
Awesome work man! When you get a chance would you mind drawing my guy?
Elijayess Moonshadow, Wild Elf Barbarian Archer
Elijayess is a rugged wild elf, though not as feral looking as some members of his race, due to years away from the harsh forests of his homeland. The strongest elf who ever lived, Elijayess is still lean and lithe. His rock-hard muscles look carved out of marble, but his elven heritage prevents him from being overly bulky. His nearly waist length black hair is fine and straight like that of a Native American, but he keeps it pulled back in a thick single braid. His long bangs would cover his eyes if he didn’t keep them swept to one side. His skin is dark.
His signature weapon is his mighty longbow. At first glance it appears crude for an elven weapon, not delicate and artistic but massive in its destructive capabilities. Few men alive possess the strength to draw the string to their ear, fewer still can string it. Countless men and beasts have been felled by the deadly bow of Elijayess.
His other weapons include an enchanted bastard sword inlaid with a slim mural of reptilian beasts along the middle of the blade (the sword possesses special enchantments against reptilian foes), and a dagger is sheathed on the outside of each of his shins, their handles protruding from his leather boots.
He wears form fitting buckskin pants and sleeveless leather armor on his torso, accentuating his muscular bare arms. A blood-red hooded cloak adorns his shoulders, and a quiver full of black feathered arrows is strapped across his back, over the cloak. His bastard sword hangs in a scabbard at his side and he wears a gold amulet around his neck.
Thanks for your consideration.

The general trend has been that any artist grabs any character that moves him. If you don't have a preference, you can start at the beginning, but I know I'd rather see people work on things they're interested in (and will thus likely be much better, and keep them coming back) than just go down the line, even if it pushes my stuff aside....
And the updated list is still coming. Just slowly.

Well, D20Dazza, I hope you like the final as much as you seemed to like the WIP pics. I settled on an image size of 8.5 X 11 @ 72 DPI because it still looks good on screen and will print decently. If you want them at a higher rez just email me ( admin@jeffspangler.net) and I will send you a higher quality copy. Don't know what I'm going to do next ... have to look through the posts. Again, I hope you like the way your characters came out, D20.

If anyone is up for giving a try at this, I'd be most appreciative. He's a Dragon Disciple (Red Dragon ancestry) that I'm playing in Living EnWorld. I'd like a picture of him in his high levels, after he's completed the Dragon Disciple prestige class. Basically, he'll look like a half-red dragon with wings, plate mail, a heavy shield, and a bastard sword. He's sort of an arrogant fellow, but is conflicted with the evil nature of his dragon heritage. I present to you:
Gideon Redcloak
Age: 25
Height: 6'04"
Weight: 165lb
Eyes: Light Brown/Gold
Hair: Red (He probably doesn't have hair after the half-dragon apotheosis)
Skin: Pale (most likely scaled after half-dragon apotheosis)
Appearance: Gideon is a tall man, with a pale complexion, gold-brown eyes, and a fiery mane of red hair. He holds himself with a haughty air, though he seems to be unaware of it. In a scabbard he carries a large, aged bastard sword. Its pommel sports a snarling dragon head, poised to devour the blade. Draped across his back and almost looking out of place is a clean, brilliant red cloak. His Dragon Disciple ancestry comes from a Red Dragon.
For reference, once a Dragon Disciple is finished with his transformation, he is for all intents and purposes a half-dragon with wings.

Ok My last post on a charcter art request is a full character.
My chaeracter for Greyhawk is a Changeling Warlock (he is choatic neutral) that is an undertaker/mortician and a gambler. In his natural form or state, he is about 6ft tall, about 125 or 130 lb (very skinny but toned) with long hair past his shoulders. He wears a leather armor, in the style of a cenobite (from Hellraiser movies), usually wears a hat (like a cowboy or the one from the vigilanite prestige class in Complete Adventure) and somethimes a trench coat. The main weapon he wields, soon to be a magic item, is a shovel. He also carries a spear, and daggers. He is a follower Wee Jas and I visioned him has be gothic or having a very Addams Family motif in style of clothes and atitude.
Thanks

If this is the case I will do Gideon Redcloak next becaue he will make a nice portfolio piece. Again, Im not trying to dis anyone, I just want to get some pieces finished and I know Im not starting one that another artist is already doing because IcyCool JUST made the request.
IcyCool - You want him as a fully developed half-dragon correct? Monsterish or noble? Savage looking or refined? And you want him in armor even though he is scaled? Or do you want me to just take artistic license and put him in a sort of half-suit that is designed around his new form?

Dragon Disciple Apotheosis
I have a question for IcyCool and any half-dragon/dragon disciple experts out there. I was doing a quick series of concept sketches for Gideon Redcloak and I want to get some opinions on half-dragon appearance. So here are the sketches and my questions:
1. Do they have visible ears?
2. Do they have horns?
3. Are they heavily scaled? (I would assume so given their natural bonus to AC)
4. What sort of eyes do they have? Reptilian? Human? Other?
These are just questions for opinion. I realize that there is no "standard" except whatever art has been done for them in the past. Just wanted to give the community some "say" in the matter.
And please excuse the sketches ... they are just for concept. The "final" stage looks more like a B-movie lizard-man than a half-dragon, but it gives me an idea where to start. I will add another sketch later of how I would envision the final stage of a half red dragon apotheosis (what the hell does that mean anyway?)
EDIT: OK ... added a sketch that is closer to what I envision as the end stage of a half-dragon (in the face anyway). Thoughts?
On another note ... this thread is a ghost town. No offense Dead Radish, I know you are around. But aside from you and a few others it seems that nobody cares much what goes on here. Where are all the other artists who used to contribute? And where are all the folks who filled the previous pages with posts? Did I show up long after this thread's popularity died?

To me, the answer is yes to 1-3. They have ears, though they're likely to be more pointed or smaller. They have small horns, possibly curling a bit, and they are very scaled.
I see their eyes as human with reptilian pupils, personally.
