For fun and reward, here's a quick couple sketches of my upcoming Jester. >}
Sweet Creepy Jester Masks For The Win!
Thanks! Speaking of; Last one in the set of old eberron characters, and the only hero I've painted so far from that series.
An important ancillary character in the same campaign that featured Bartley, Dieter VonRuthvek (Part-time curio shop owner/part-time assassin/former war criminal) was one of the most outrageous and entertaining character's I've ever had the joy of roleplaying. Falling somewhere between Dr. Strangelove and Johan Krauss, this lawful evil npc ended up an immediate player favorite, who seemed not to mind his neferious deeds or his constant insulting of them. I suppose I somehow managed to balance manic and devious with outright usefulness. Deiter VonRuthvek, Part-time Assassin "Manic" is always a tough act to roleplay, as it is incredibly easy to over do it or play it overly juvenile. I try to keep in mind that even though a character is supposed to be "crazy", he still has to be a fully functioning individual capable of interacting with the public on a daily basis.
Speaking of Eberron; some time ago I DM'ed a fantastic home-brew campaign set in Eberron, wherein I had to play the part of a wide array of great fantasy/pulp villains. They were very well received (and loathed! >D), and while some were better liked, none were more feared than Lucius Bartley, an Artificer/Blood Mage with shades of Moriarty and Dr. Frankenstein, and the central villain of the campaign. Lucius Bartley, Masterful Villain His design had to be powerful and noble, while also having a sinister air. The PC's had no idea he was the villain (and indeed, he was a crucial member of the party throughout most of the campaign) until it was too late. It was great seeing the players all so motivated to get some good old fashioned revenge!
I thought I'd share some of the artwork I've sketched and/or had the time to paint of the various characters I've played in Pathfinder. First up is the sketch I did of my very first serious tabletop character:
After finding out that I'll be "resurrecting" the character to participate in a Pathfinder: Zeitgeist game, I threw some quick colors on him. I had a great time with the Dread Necromancer class, and playing a heretical elven lich-in-the-making wanderer was a TON of fun. So much so that I even started sketching up concepts to give him a couple of illustrated adventures! If I ever get the rest of that work done, they may even see the light of day. ^_^ |
