Hunter, you rough sketch of V'kan'ri looks pretty sweet. I know you say its just a rough, but man, looks pretty awesome as is. I like the pose, the composition, the design. Can't wait to see the finished greys.Speaking of greys. I was at first just going to do pen sketches. Quick, blue line, then go over and sketch with ink right on top of it. Its fast and loose. But as I saw the other artists here use these shaded pencils and other greys, and doing it so beautifully too! I knew I had to go back to that. This is gonna sound weird, but something about doing it in pencils or whatever black&white medium makes it 'feel' more D&D. I think its because, when I grew up playing, my friends and I were always sketching characters and monsters at the table. Pencils being the standard utensil at the table, everything was done in pencil. Pencil here, pencil there, on notebook paper, pencil smudges, pizza stains, drink stain, etc. Plus the old books had black & white interiors. Keeping the drawings in the medium of pencil reminds me of those days. Something about it makes it cooler for the D&D atmosphere. Heh heh....I'm being nostalgic I think. Maybe, with my next drawing I'll do it on lined notebook paper and try to get a few random pizza stains on it to make it 'feel' more ghetto old-school.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Anyways, this is me being nostalgic. For those who've done the extra hard work and actually did colored theirs....kudos to you too. My black & white trip down memory lane doesn't by any means say I don't hold color in high regard. Photoshop is wonderful . . .  I'll see if I can Kathaer. I was just trying to get around to doing stuff for guys and gals who might've not had any of their characters done yet on the older pages. Maybe I'll try to take a stab at it sometime next week. Sounds like a fun character to try. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Anyways. Wanted to say a big thanks again to Knightfall1972 for putting together the big PDF file of all the requests! As I sat and thumbed through it all, I could've sworn no one had done a character of yours! I can't let this continue! You started the thread, you worked hard on compiling the requests.....you've been extremely polite and enjoying the art of others without doing the "ahem...uh....anyone wanna do mine? *cough, cough*"  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> Anyways dude, here ya go:I assume when you say "hairfoot halfling" its like the Tolkien halflings where they don't wear shoes and have big hairy feet? Wasn't sure. But, since you said that he's always trying to blend in with human cultures, I figure he wears footwear like everyone else in town. Hope that works out.I'm working on your Minotaur too.</blockquote>
