This is a half orc oracle of Kord, though he could easily be a half orc barbarian. I'm not quite happy with him yet and probably going to do a little more work on him, but he's almost done.
He has a scar on the one cheek, but I'll have a look again although that wasn't really an area I was unhappy with. I agree the axe feels a bit wonky and I was planning on doing a bit more on it. I also want to give his arms a bit more of greenish tinge as well as darken some areas around the lower right side of his armour.
A submission for the list... if I am supposed to do anything further please let me know, because I definitely cannot figure out that forum posted on page 1.
- Basic info: Sorcerer (Draconic Bloodline) 6, War Mage 5
takes after the Song Dragon from Faerun)
- Height: 5'11"
- Build: Slender
- Race: Llewyrr elf (a branch of the Eladrin)
- Hair: White, with a metallic reflection. Straight, ~6" below shoulder line. Eyebrows/lashes ebony/silver
- Eyes: Electric blue. Maybe an actual hint of electricity in his eyes, or some kind of manifestation of his draconic heritage in his eyes. Sincere.
- Skin: A very soft, pale tone. His skin has a hint of blue in it, due to his draconic bloodline. No visible scars.
- Face: Soft features. Sharp nose. Standard elven face.
- Ears: High elf style, 3 1/2" from front to tip. Maybe a few small hoops
- Clothing: He wears a dark blue robe with silver adornment. His cape is black on the outside, and celestial blue on the inside with matching silver adornment. He wears belt which matches the cape.
- Gear: He keeps a glowing +1 Longsword at his side in a sheath. He has a Headband of Alluring Charisma which matches the clothing scheme. A thin silver necklace with a sharp pendant at the bottom.
This isn't necessary, but if you get the inspiration it would be cool: He wears a +1 Nimble Mithril breastplate adorned with woodland shapes and symbols. It has a feint glow.
- Familiar/Pet: He has befriended a wyrmling Song Dragon
Please don't let my specificity impede your creativity!
You would be my personal hero if you decide to take on my request! Thank you in advance.

Guess I'll better open a new thread for this.
The forum mentioned the first posting isn't active anymore.
@PH: Just a few thoughts that I had about the Orc if I may.
The perspective of the Axe is off. Try to think of basic shapes before defining hard edged objects. Like a box on a cylinder.
also the horizontal line needs a fixing, the orc seem's to be leaning heavily to his left as it is. Imagine a line going from his head straight to the Ground. In most cases that's a 90° angle to the horizon.
Are character descriptions still being accepted?

I do have to hit the breaks soon.
So I decide now that: I will take requests until this Sunday, 12th August. From there on out I will work my list down and won't take any more requests.
Once that's done I might open a new list but I can't promise anything, since I'm also planning to work part time as Illustrator and may not have the time for Dailys anymore.

Gratz on the new job =)
In that case, I'd better add an NPC to the secondary list while the getting's good. =)
Kseniya
6 years old, 2'2"
Kseniya was born as a tool of revenge, the daughter of a hag and the father of her runaway apprentice. She was raised by the hag and taught to harness her magical ability and constantly told of her traitorous half-sister. However, the time she spent with the hag's new apprentice did much to temper the spirit of vengeance her mother had hoped to foster. Despite this failing, Kseniya has the unfading loyalty of a child and will gladly do anything to please her mother, thus setting off at this early age to find her renegade sister with her toad familiar and one of her mother's pet worgs as a bodyguard. She has a blissfully optimistic worldview and a perpetually cheerful and inquisitive attitude, even though her moral compass has yet to advance far beyond "A good girl listens to her mother" and "People don't hurt people they like."
Appearance: Kseniya's frame is tall and slender...for a halfling child. Her hair hangs to her mid-back and is a very dark shade of red. As a changeling, her eyes are mismatched: one is hazel, one is a dark brown. She is too young for her hands to yet form claws, but her fingers are longer, more slender, and pointier than the average. She wears a simple long-sleeved brown dress to her knees and no shoes.
Pose: Either playing with her toad or riding her worg would be perfectly in character.
Likewise, heh. One more for the road =)
RACE/SEX: Female Halfling (fantasy Russian)
AGE: Early Thirties
HEIGHT: 3'1"
WEIGHT: 30 lbs.
GAME STATS: Str 10 Dex 18 Con 13 Int 17 Wis 13 Cha 18
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Tatya is a woman of moderate figure and build for a halfling. Her auburn hair is long, mostly straight, and hangs down to the middle of her back; however a few locks have been braided to drape in front of and around her slightly-pointed ears. Her eyes are dark hazel, her skin slightly tanned, and her ears adorned with many piercings filled with studs and loops of simple metals and small, inexpensive gems.
She dresses practically, wearing simple clothing for warmth and comfort rather than to display herself or to burden herself with armor. Her normal clothing is a long-sleeved tunic under a vest if the weather is warm or a thick fur-lined coat if it is cold, with bodice and ankle-length dress over leggings and traveling boots (despite being a halfling, she is *never* barefoot), both of the latter padded or fur-lined during cold weather. She carries a satchel with the strap crossing over one shoulder and across her chest to the opposite hip, within which she carries most of her at-hand necessities - powders, materials, foci and the like for her spellcasting as well as potions, crafting materials, and vodka - in fact the only time you're unlikely to find her without a flask in-hand is if she's riding, casting, or shooting. A few daggers are slipped into her belt alongside her holstered pepperbox pistol, and at least one knife is concealed in a boot.
She is at almost all times accompanied by Grom, a massive Siberian Husky equipped with chain-shirt barding and a riding saddle, and Ksusha, a riding saddle and a blue-black cat with bright violet eyes.
OTHER
Tatya is Kseniya's (Scint's post above) half-sister, so the resemblance should probably be visible. =)

Ruloc, you're very generous to give us that ample deadline.
I would like to submit a group portrait, like you did with Timothy's group in 'Party'.
It's Captain Janessa again, with her party.
Details will come as soon as my fellow players provide their character descriptions.
There will be 5 characters.
1- Captain Janessa (Human Druid/Cleric/Monk)
2- First Mate Heyboy (Human Corsair)
3- Ship Surgeon 'Docktor' Lars (Dwarf Alchemist w/ Tumour familiar)
4- Master of Weapons Yazt-Agu-Atoitil (Nagaji primitive barbarian)
5- Botswain 'Vixen' (Kitsune Rogue Trickster)
I just wanted to .dot my spot ;)
Thanks!
|
Thank you for your service Ruloc, I love your work. I have so many characters I want done it was hard to come up with two portraits. I am not picky which of the two are on the primary list VS secondary lists.
1) Huran and Falita
Huran: 23 year old man from Katapesh. Huran is thin and muscular and stands about 5'8". He has brown eyes and dark brown hair, and can often be seen with short facial hair (he forgets to shave). He grew up on the streets of Katapesh and survived by his skills of stealing and rapier fighting. He often teases Falita whom he has known since birth and likes to claim to be the best swordsman in the known lands (often challenged by Falita). His character class is Rogue/Duelist.
Falita: She is a 25 year old woman from Katapesh. Falita is thin and lithe and stands at 5'5". She has the build of a dancer, which is also her profession (she is a Dervish Dancer/ShadowDancer). She has black hair that goes to her mid-back and dark brown eyes. Her clothing allows for freedom of movement, but also fits in with the Katapesh style. She wields a scimitar more often than she casts bard spells. As for personality, Falita is a spitfire. She also has a love of bantering, and enjoys teasing Harun unmercifully (whom she has grown up with). She is not afraid to put a stop to seeing someone being picked on by others, but she also doesn't go out of her way to cause trouble.
OR
2) Leoric Ironfist
Leoric is a half-celestial paladin. He has gold skin and silvery white wings. He is 21 years old and has a large muscular build(24 str) and a calming appearance (28 chr). He worships Torm (3.5 Forgotton Realms deity) but has good relation with Tyr and Illmater and often prays to them collectively as the triad. He bears the symbols of Torm on his forehead, Illmater on the back of his left hand as well as Tyr on the back of his right hand in the form of glowing glyphs burned into him during his trials. He fights in full plate armor and uses a unique greatsword called 'triad's blessing' in battle. The sword bears the symbols of all three deities on its silver and gold hilt (I never got a full descript of it other than bearing all holy symbols of the triad- be as creative as you like ;)).
Let me know if you decide to draw Leoric and need pictures to refernce for the holy symbols.
Thank you kindly in advance :)

Indeed, I have to echo the sentiment that you are quite generous. This is an uncommon thing for artists to do, to the point where I even see artists recommending against this very activity.
I was going to post a description, but my internet is going to disappear in a moment. I'll try to get it up soon.
Indeed, I have to echo the sentiment that you are quite generous. This is an uncommon thing for artists to do, to the point where I even see artists recommending against this very activity.
Ruloc may not take comissions, but he does take tips =) There's a tip jar Paypal link on his DevArt as well as in his profile.
If you (as in anyone reading this thread) appreciate his work and have a few bucks to spare, definitely consider giving the man an appreciation gift... he's more than earned it, and never demanded a dime. =D
Oh, wow, the illustration of Gudea was even more awesome than I expected. I like the palpable feeling of power in the picture. Very impressive.
Two more for the secondary list if I have not already gotten more then my fair share of:
Ruloc, if you ever take paid commissions, I will be at the front of the line.
Just came across this accidently. Think its pretty awesome. You'll have to forgive me as I am pretty new to the forum and haven't mastered it yet.
My group and I are starting a new campaign this Saturday.
Maxmi - Level 3 Cleric - Short and fat little man wearing a breastplate with a Stein on it. He has curly red hair, in the style of a mullet, he is bald on top. He is in his mid 30s.
With him he carries with him a Crowbar staff that is equally tall as him. He has pouches on his belt for storage, a backpack full of knicknacks.
He carries a morning star, and dagger on his belt just in case he needs it. He has 3 waterskins full of whiskey. (He worships Alvis, God of drinking and revenge)
If you could incorperate a Bison on the Stein on his breastplate, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!
Thank you. I hope I did this right.
|
Ruloc, everything you've done so far has been fantastic!
Can I request an illustration of my BBEG for an upcoming game? Her name is Phamena, and she's a dark slayer witch with the Arcane Trickster prestige class. She is size Small, wears a big hooded cloak, and only comes out at night. She carries very little gear, but wields a kukri. Her favorite spells are vampiric touch and enchantment spells. She's a ruthless killer with an air of mystery, and if she isn't planning on killing someone she meets, she will use magic to make them forget they met her.
I hope this is enough to go on! Thanks for doing these :)

I'm hoping to get this request in under the wire... and I do tip. :)
If you could create a picture of Mal, Tal, and Priyya... we, their players, would greatly appreciate it. We're sort of imagining an odd 'family photo' - Mal and Priyya in front with Tal looming in the background and staring down the viewer. Priyya's hair could be veiled or unveiled (your call) and she'd be more likely wielding her scimitar than her bow. Mal would be wearing his 'game face'... or maybe his "I'm about to eat your face" grin.
Race: Elf with the blood of a Great Hunting Cat (see below)
Height: nearly 7 foot
Eyes: Green
Hair: black
Skin: born fair but evenly suntanned by sun exposure
Class: Gestalt Druid/Fighter/Barbarian/Wildblood [10/7/2/1]
Malandraenas is savage predatory nature bound to elven form. He looms over you at nearly 7 feet tall with shoulders as wide as a great axe-handle is long. Despite these monstrous proportions, he isn't built in a bulky or ungainly way, instead having a rangy, athletic build; long arms and legs built on a surprisingly lean frame corded with ropey, rock-hard muscle. His skin is evenly and darkly tanned on it's exposed surfaces, but his movements reveal the skin under his armor - skin that is surprisingly pale, hinting at his elven heritage... a heritage also evident in the angles of his face, the tilt to his green eyes, and the lobeless and pointed ears peeking out from under nearly black hair falling naturally straight and long. Strangely enough, his heritage holds no true humanity in them; he instead wears the powerful attributes of a Great Hunting cat. His feral blood gives him an edge that is definitely... predatory is the only word that comes to mind. His rare smile reveals long sharp teeth capable of rending; his hands end in deadly claws instead of blunt fingers. The posture of his powerful frame belies the capable self-reliance of a hunter, his movements are deadly grace and power in motion, savage violence under a thin veneer of control.
His simple, dark clothes of a military style seem to be chosen with comfort and utility in mind, and he wears a long, black, double-reinforced armored coat with slightly extended sleeves in an attempt to hide his claws. His armor is a finely-wrought breastplate crafted from the hide and scales of a brass dragon fitted over a suit of black leathers. His weapons marry the needs of the hunt and the battle, using predominantly multi-use items except for a viciously hooked kukri of some strange metal stashed on his belt and a well-crafted curved blade across his back.
Like many wild predators, he is most uneasy in the sprawl of civilization, but most specifically in the presence of "high society". In these settings, his usual quiet confidence can be replaced by an uneasiness. His cutting but friendly humor replaced with sullen sarcasm. Because of his jarring lack of social capabilities, he lets others take the lead, only really supporting such endeavors with his naturally intimidating ways.
Otherwise, Mal is generally a quiet individual, letting his actions speak. He does enjoy joking, a humor that is cutting and often misunderstood to be insulting. He is not overly suspicious or paranoid, instead relying on his instincts to guide his trust. He also has a surprising drive to look after those he sees as outsiders or castaways, collecting a strange and rag-tag group of friends. To these, he is generous, selfless, loyal, and fiercely protective.
For the most part, Mal sets his own moral compass - both distrusting and disliking those thrust upon him by society - adopting a predator's outlook on life. Killing is not inherently evil. Food, survival, protection, love... these are all justifiable reasons to take a life, usually without any personal moral repercussions.
Race: Female Aasimar (born Keleshite)
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 130 lbs
Eyes: Almond
Hair: Black
Skin: Olive/Almond skinned
Class: Gestalt Paladin / Monk (Zen Archer) [10/10]
Priyya appears as a moderately attractive Keleshite woman with brown, unblemished, skin and wide almond-shaped and almond-colored eyes. She has a lithe, swimmer's body - small chest, narrow waist, and lean muscles. She has two striking physical features. First and mostly obviously, is her long mane of rich, slightly wavy, hair that cascades down her back reaching to her knees. Her hair is usually concealed beneath a light veil that trails down her back and is kept in place by a thin silver circlet on her brow. Secondly, due to her Aasimar heritage, there is a slight glow about Priyya - like a hard to discern faerie fire. The glow intensifies when she experiences strong emotions. The intensified golden glow outlines the planes of her face and eyes, and ghostly white flames flicker along her head and shoulders.
Priyya is a highly skilled archer and carries the compound and recurved short horsebow of her people. However, her preferred weapon is her scimitar. Priyya is a light and highly mobile fighter. She eschews the use of armor and most frequently wears the loose flowing desert robes of her forebearers - in shades of white and medium blue with silver details.
NOTE: The facial look, weaponry, and clothing colors of this iconic are close to Priyya.
Though dedicated to Sarenrae's service in her mantle as Surya-ka-Vahaak - one of an elite group of Warrior-Priests of the Goddess - Priyya carries no holy symbol. The scar on her left palm (Trait: Birthmark) does the job and glows when she channels or casts spells.
Priyya is an unrelenting Crusader. She has been trained since girlhood to seek out, hunt down, and destroy evil. This mission defines her. Consequently, she talks straight, moves decisively, and lacks a certain feminine 'softness'... except when it comes to Mal. They are fellow hunters, long-time comrades, and sometime lovers. Mal and Tal are among the few people to see Priyya's softer side. She has a great affection for both her friends.
Hey Ruloc, sorry to hear you're stopping the requests, your work is amazing and you've done us all a tremendous service.
I have two requests for the secondary:
Nepherti, ethnically Roman and Egyptian, with Elven heritage. Rake/Roughrider, she is a sort of Egyptian Robin Hood.
Fatty, Skinny, and Drunky: They are Orcs in a steampunk setting. Personality wise, they are the three stooges.
I'll detail the descriptions later, just wanted to get in before requests halted.

Ruloc, you're very generous to give us that ample deadline.

It's Captain Janessa again, with her party.
Details will come as soon as my fellow players provide their character descriptions.
There will be 5 characters.
1- Captain Janessa (Human Druid/Cleric/Monk)
2- First Mate Heyboy (Human Corsair)
3- Ship Surgeon 'Docktor' Lars (Dwarf Alchemist w/ Tumour familiar)
4- Master of Weapons Yazt-Agu-Atoitil (Nagaji primitive barbarian)
5- Botswain 'Vixen' (Kitsune Rogue Trickster)I just wanted to .dot my spot ;)
Thanks!
I have the details, hidden below. We decided to go "1st Season" with our characters, before Death approached.
The Sudden Departure is the same ship that has Janessa'a grove in the captain's quarters. The group shot could be on the deck of the ship, near the wheel, if you are so inclined :)
Captain Janessa:
Same as your previous picture of her!
Adelaide, First Mate:
Human, corkscrew curls of blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin, about 5'7. Her blonde hair is mostly tucked under a navy blue tricorne hat.
She has a fitted dark blue coat with gold buttons that reaches her knees.
Cream pants tucked into knee high black boots.
Slung over one shoulder is Liberty Belle, her musket. At her side, sheathed, is a gold hilted sabre.
Essentially think Russel Crowe in Master and Commander, except female and tailored.
Bellamy, Boatswain:
Elf, he's 6'4, long blonde hair that ties to a loose knot and hangs down to his shoulder blades. He's thin, but beautiful, and stands protectively near Adelaide with his chest puffed out and his hands on his gauche and rapier (both with a large eagle on the hilt). He wears a blue musketeer smock with gold trim and a white fleur-de-lis. Under his smock, his white puffy shirt is reminiscent of a swashbuckler, his tight brown pants are covered from knee to ankle by a big pair of musketeer boots with a golden buckle. A belt baldrick goes from one shoulder to his hip and serves to keep the smock from flying about. Cocked to the side is his black tricorn hat with gold trim and a white plume.
Hey Boy, Master of Weapons:
Human, short and almost scrawny, dirty brown hair cut raggedly and tied in a shoulder length ratty tarred ponytail. Brown eyes with a thin starved looking face. Dressed in a mithral breastplate, sailors canvas trousers, bare feet. Double baldrics supporting his rapier and short sword as well as multiple daggers. He is leaning on his magical returning harpoon near the wheel.
“Doktor” Lars, Ship’s Surgeon:
Dwarf, black beard, tightly knotted with silver in it, grey eyes, wearing a navy leather longcoat with brass buttons, open in front. Underneath he's wearing a kelp loincloth and nothing else. A satchel is swung over his shoulder, brimming with alchemical reagents, while a bandolier over the other shoulder holds metal syringes. He's bald on top.
Thanks for taking our ideas and characters for your sketches, Ruloc. We all win :)
I would like to add one more picture to the secondary list. It would be of my husband and my characters from a current storyline. I don't think he knows I'm doing this, but we have no visual representation of these two characters. They are twin human brothers.

@Orthos: Are you by any chance a PR-Agent?
Hahah no man, just someone who appreciates hard work =)
I think when mine comes in, I'm gonna take it somewhere to get a fancy print job and frame it. :D
I do have to hit the breaks soon.
So I decide now that: I will take requests until this Sunday, 12th August. From there on out I will work my list down and won't take any more requests.
I'm glad I checked back when I did! I've been deciding which one I was going to ask for, but looks like I'll just go for broke. Throw 'em all on the list ;P
Race:Human (Mwangi)
Hair:Black; long thick cornrow braids tied back out of his face
Eyes:Black
Class(s): Fighter (Two-handed Archetype)
Adventure: Savage Tide
Background: Banipani was exiled from his former tribe for his adherence to the use of metal tools and weapons. He found his way to the city of Sasserine, where he gained a name for himself in the arena. Known as much for his brutal polearm fighting style as his immense smile, he gained rank in the arena's guild, the Zelkarune's Horns. This affiliation brought the attention of his patron, leading to adventure.
Description: Tall and dark skinned. Always smiling and having a good time, even when threatening someone. He has an animated tattoo on his chest of the Zelkarunes (a dragon skull being pierced by a spear), though you probably can't see it due to his armor. He wears a suit of mithril hellknight armor (without the helmet), decorated in a bone devil motif. He wields an adamantine fauchard (french polearm) called "Crescent Wane", named so for the shape of the blade, a crescent moon shape caped on the end of the pole with the sharp points to one side, so as to resemble the moon coming down on the enemy.
Race:Human (Garundi)
Hair:Brown; Ear length and messy
Eyes:Amber
Class(s): Shadow lord, Jaunter
Adventure: Legacy of Fire
Background: As long as he could remember, Fubar had always had his sword. Abeautifully forged short sword decorated from point to hilt with blink dogs playing in the desert sands. He was rarely able to simply sit back and admire it though. Growing up in the slums and nightstalls, he always found more use for it than it's image. As destiny would have it, the sword was more a portent than either art or tool. After seeing the sword, an old peddler traded a story for a cool drink of water, telling of a famly he never new and the magic in his soul. Impressionable and curious, he hoped the peddler's stories were true, setting out across the sands to find the legacy behind his blade.
Description: Average in height and build, Fubar would never realy stand out if not for his accouterments. His face is dark from the sun of Katepesh, and he has deep black runic tattoos under his eyes to help ease the suns glare. His face is lean, and he wears a thin beard on his chin. He wears a an armored turban along with his exquisitely crafted snake skin leather armor and mirror polished Chahar-Ainé and Bazubands. He wields two short swords, his family blade (previously described): the other seeming like it was carved out of the night sky. His fighting style is that of a teleporting dervish, dissolving into shadows to strike from another nearby. I'd like to see that incorporated, if possible. If you want to change it from a portrait to an action seen, you could have him jumping down from the shadowed ceiling, thrusting both blades into the back of an efreeti genie.
Race: Indiscernible
Hair: None
Eyes: Solid dark blue; no pupil or sclera
Class(s): Superhero
Adventure: Aberrant
Background: Proto is the superhero I would be if I could, and has been for as long as I can remember. I'd like to finally get him properly visualized.
Description: Generally, I'd describe him as a humanoid shaped slime; all curved edges and fluid. His entire body is a translucent blue, like that of the Caribbean sea, becoming murkier and changing to hues of dark crimson and deep violet as you see into his "core". His face is similar to that of a grey-type alien, with wide, single colored eyes and no nose, mouth, ears, or hair. Being a shapeshifter, he still distributes his mass throughout his head so he can quickly assume features if necessary, so you will still see vague shaping of a proper human face (like slight bumps in his skin where these pieces can form). The top of his head is shaped like a racing cyclists helmet, aerodynamic and coming to a rounded point on the back. He keeps his torso thinner than normal. His chest being no bigger than his head, and his waist being about as thick as his neck with virtually no hips, that way he can shift most of his mass to his arms and legs. His arms are thin to average from his sholder to his elbow, but from his elbow on his arms increase in size becoming even wider thn his head. He has no wrists, going directly from massive forearm to similarly large , four-fingered, one-thumbed hands. His legs function similarly, having thin thighs, massive calves, no ankles, and huge feet, resembling that of the character Megaman's. I should note he does not form toes, keeping his feet more shoe-like than foot-like. He never wears actual clothing, choosing to form it from his own body instead. When he does form clothing, he favors bright greens and gold. For decency sake, he will form a set of bike shorts and a belt when in combat. Out of combat he'll wear what looks more like several pieces or strips of cloth draped over his head and shoulders, almost robe-like. He fights unarmed, preferring to alter his body in size, shape, and reach to the best of his advantage. He's known to alter his body into weapons (Think T2000), shift all his mass into one punch the size of his opponent, and many more unorthodox strategies.
Race:Illonis
Hair:Black; long, loose and greasy
Eyes:None
Class(s): Melee Warlock
Adventure: Tearing of the Weave
Background: Whicker is of a cursed race. Long ago, his people cast a high priest of a great evil god into a void-like portal, never to be heard from again. I retribution, the evil god stripped the artistic people of their sight (and eyes!) and cursed them to forever walk the realms searching for the high priest. Though the priest is mort likely dead, Whicker's people are still ushered from one realm to the next. Some, for the sake of their people, still search, but most just try to live the best that blind planar nomads can.
Description: Whicker's people are tall, lanky beings with no eyes, large pointed ears, six digits on each hand and an extra joint in each fnger. Their skin is similar to humans, yet slightly jaundiced. Their bodies are also covered in freckle-like dots that resemble primitive tribal tattoos, residing mostly around the face and torso. In these ways, whicker is just like his people. He keeps his hair long and untamed, wrapping his blindfold wildly through it. He has angular features and a strong, pointed jaw with only a "soul patch" (the crevice just under the bottom lip) for facial hair. He emotes rarely, keeping an expression of focused neutrality. He wears a mithril chain shirt and a mithril buckler along with numerous belts, sashes, and shoulder pads. With his blindness, he rarely matches any of his clothing. He carries no weapons, preferring to summon up a glaive made of brilliant hell-fire that he "wields" by making fluid, tai-chi like motions.
Race:Tibbit (Halflings that turns into houscats; retain small feline traits when humanoid)
Hair: White and short, unkempt
Eyes: Ice blue; cats eyes
Class(s): Druid, Stormlord
Adventure: Red Hand of Doom
Background: Walking the line of neutrality has made Roscoe bitter and spiteful, relishing in the destructive power of nature more than anything else. War pushed him to that point, and now the wars of men give him another reason to help them see thet they do not belong in the wild. He will often join a cause just to cause as much havok as possible, teaching all sides of the power of the storm. He wasn't always that way. He once even considered himself good, but found the horrid truth of the world from his companions: an ex-slave, a kobold, and a theif.
Description: Roscoe rarely smiles and is usually seen with a look of annoyance an his round, childish face. He's in good shape as halflings go, lean and agile. He wears breastplate armor made from elf woven leaves of the brightest autumn colors, offsetting it with a deep green cloak. He weilds a rough-looking darkwood shield and lightning enchanted javalins. His animal companion is an unnamed dire hawk that he saddled and rides through the storms that follow him
P.S. Your tip jar is loving me right now!
How are these found once they are completed. Its early and I bet I'm just over looking something silly. Thanks in advance.
I was just cuious. thanks for the prompt answer. gentleman and scholar.
Okay. If I don't put these two up, I think I'd regret it. I have two similar but different characters I'd like to put up for illustration.
NE Rogue/Fighter/Barbarian/Ghost Face Killer
Originally a Rhood (small humanoid with frog-like features), he was reincarnated as a human, but he maintained some resemblance of his former self. He has green hair, slightly bulging green-blue eyes, extended limbs and fingers, and a bit hunched over. He wore light armor and ragged clothes, all black. In his hands were oversized weapons; a sword and a hammer, clearly meant for wielding in two hands each, but his wiry frame swung these weapons with ease.
Hammer was a slave. His normal job was cooking, and his favorite part was working with the meat. It helped him feel some control over his life, exactly how he could seem to do whatever he liked to it. Feeling trusted, his masters sent him along on assignment that lead him to adventuring. Over the course of this adventure, he was killed. When he was brought back, he was free. A new man with new power, he was capable of scaring people to death with a sudden strike.
His favorite moments were in the heat of battle, when he was spilling blood.
NG Half-Giant Duskblade/Fighter/Electrokineticist/Lasher
Some of this post is copied from elsewhere in the forums; I have an online journal of the game this character comes from.
*Crack*. The sound of a whip cracking against his lump of a back. This is the earliest memory he has. With no idea of his origins, he found himself as a slave to hairy creatures with dog-like faces. He didn't know what they were saying, but he knew to do as he was told. He understood the whip more than the barking. The desert sun provided no respite or rest.
Long under the service of the cracking whips and cackling gnolls, he hated his lot in life. One fateful night, he had had enough of his servitude. He and his brother decided it was time to set themselves free. A storm broke out, and the thundering from above sounded just the same as their masters' instruments of persuasion. An infuriating reminder, he thought, but one that will change...
Hazard weakly stands in the pouring rain, lifting his large figure slowly. Looking at his newly-favored weapon, he unfurls the whip with intention to strike. *Crack*, *crack* again. One last *crack*, and it's the most thunderous ever heard. As he strikes one last time against his former owner, a flash of light brighter than the sun fills his eyes. Lightning struck. Hazard blacks out in a moment, and forgets many moments in his past.
Hazard Stormwalker is a unique sort of guy. Half human, half giant, his giant half being half cloud giant and half storm giant. Wearing a shiny full plate, his two weapons a shocking, thundering whip and one made entirely of electricity. With not a hair on his body, any and all of his magic items are themed around a lightning storm. His specialty is mixing magic and melee together, delivering magic attacks with his whips.
I have heard nothing but wonderful comments about the works that you have completed. In fact, I am currently adventuring with Dr. Virgil Halifax. My friend Odytoboman strongly suggested I submit my Elf Ranger, Faunalandria, so here she is...
Faunalandria (Female Elf, 5’11, 115#)
Hair: dirty blonde dreads hastily pulled back into a ponytail
Eyes: Hazel with flecks of gold and a hint of insanity
Skin: lighter side of tan
Weapon: “Tempest” Long Bow w/ frost*, Elven thin blade sword (remains sheathed unless absolutely necessary)
Armor and accessories: Elven Darkleaf, mithral buckler, bracers of archery, dusty rose ioun stone
Favored Accessories: Cursed/Lucky shrunken gnoll head (strapped to belt), Gnoll tail skirt**
*Tempest is an artifact that Fauna found (was led to) after ingesting some supernatural slimy gunk. When wielding the bow, a thick, slimy moss grows up her left arm almost to her shoulder. (Holds with left, draws with right)
**Fauna ABHORS gnolls! During a year of down time, she wiped out an entire colony, collecting the tail of each kill as a trophy. When there were too many to wear tucked in to her belt, she took them to the town tailor who (rather begrudgingly due to the smell) created this one-of-a-kind skirt.
I picture Faunalandria taking aim at a group of unsuspecting gnolls, a crazy gleam in her eyes and a grin of insanity gracing her face.
You might want to be aware that this thread has ended and Ruloc started a new one here.

I think when mine comes in, I'm gonna take it somewhere to get a fancy print job and frame it. :D
You can Download a printable Version here at my DeviantArt Account. ;)
Doesn't matter I still check both for new requests. :)
And just to keep you posted, I had to help a friend move the last days that's why my dailys got delayed a little.
Take all the time you need, Ruloc. Your work is more than worth the wait!!
So stoked! I just hope you've still got it in you by the time Ilsion is up. You've got real talent! Is this only a hobby? Or does it also produce income for you?

It was mentioned several pages ago (damn but this thread moves fast), but I'm responding now. I'd gladly take commissions normally, but the regular compy's having issues and the backup compy just crapped out, prolly for good (hard drive issue). So I'm outta commission for the foreseeable future.
Not like a lotta folks were waiting with baited breath. Just wanted to clarify my issues on here, and I'll post something once I'm back in working order (which may be a LONG time- ain't got no cash for a new computer).

So far it's a hobby/exercise. I earn my money as 3D Modeler for a small German Animation Company. Not paying that well so I plan do do some Freelance Illustrations as side job.
Good times and great work.

If your still doing this and not to busy with others I can wait forever if needed. I was wondering if you could do one of me and my husbands characters from a homebrew game we did a while ago.
and
Again I do not mind waiting for this.
Ruloc, I'd forgotten about this thread entirely until yesterday. YOur rendering of my Dwarf Sorcerer was spot on. Thank you so much, it's the closest I've seen a character portrait come in ages.
Just now realized that i made the list. yay!
This is so sweet. If you have any questions or clarifications needed about Arcadia just send me a message here or on DA.
Thanks again!
