As the title says, i'm trying to draw the portrait for a pc i rolled.
A female half-elven sorcerer from Cheliax...but really dunno which type of clothing putting on her.
Any suggestions ?

Something very sultry with a demonic motif would be a good start. Maybe something with small bat-wings as homage to succubi.


Anything you want. My favorite is going against the cliche. Not all wizards wear robes, not all rogues have cloaks. People wear a variety of things. I once played a game where a player described his character as "I'm dressed like a thief.", to which I replied "You must not be a very good one if that's what you look like."

Dress according to your character's background. Beggars clothing, merchant's garb, government uniform, a milkmaid's dress, a farmhand's tunic, whatever. Actually, the classes that can't wear armor have quite a lot of freedom in what they wear. Fighters and the like usually walk around in suits of armor, and that is usually a good idea.

Sorcerers can come from any background and wear anything they want (even armor if the want to deal with the consequences). Pick something that fits her background.

She should dress up like Etna!

Where did it say she's suicidal?

As someone else said, she can dress pretty much how she wants to (sorceresses being famously charismatic should be able to get away with a lot of weird stuff) but to be a bit more helpful - there's a pretty good picture of a Chelaxian spellcaster in Cheliax, Empire of Devils.

Kajehase ninja'd me.

Why in Hell would she wear something Abyssal. That's just horrible.

To the OP, don't you think we need a little more than "Half Elf Sorcerer" before we can answer?? And not just the Bloodline you chose.

What do you see as her personality -- or anything?

Your right no doubt, my problem is that i write my concepts in italian, so have to translate everything. Anyway here goes this PC background :

elsbeth:
Elsbeth's life didn't begin easily. Her mother-an elven prostitute of Calistria- were kidnapped by slavers in Riddleport and sold to a debauched human noble named Antonio Volarius in Westcrown. With her skill as a charmer she managed to lure him into giving her a more decent life than that of a slave, until she eventually got pregnant. Difficulties arose during childbirth, and both the mother and the baby ran the risk of diyng but the cleric of Asmodeus that assisted the birth saved the half elven child promising her to his lord when she'd grow up. The mother died.
During adolescence Elsbeth never wanted to have anything to do with the church of Asmodeus in omage to her never-known mother , even thou she felt she effectevely had something related to the infernal lord, but always thought of Calistria as her deity. Her infernal ties gave her many troubles with the neighbours's children as the voice spread she was a tiefling for her fire-red hair and eyes.
When she was nearly 22 her father's decaying house falled in disgrace , and rather that suffering more vexations by other houses or , worse, being sold in slavery she used what she had – outstanding beauty, a tongue sharper than any sword and quite a selfish attitude- to flee from Cheliax

I really didn't mean to post the entire story just for a little suggestion but thanks


Go with a leather bondage theam like the Cinobites form the Hellrasier movies.

Depends how much the lords style rubbed off on her while she was there. Simple dress for traveling and a more elaborate one for time spent in the cities. Of course it depends on what you picture as far as style for the world too. I mean this could be a example of a simple dress.

simple dress in what ever colors works best.


Maybe something like this? Styish, but not over the top, and comfy-functional. Plus a little Tian Xia-exotic to add a smidge of mystery.


Ok thanks everyone...i'll start doing something, usually that is the best way to actually DO something :-)

This might help, but then again, it might not.

When I started designing a 180,000 population city for one of my homebrew campaigns, I had no idea how to design the organizations that are at conflict in it. So I started with the highest level characters, drew them up, and rolled random magic items to give them if it was fitting with their character. 98% of the time, it was not only fitting but phenomenal, and I developed not only the characters' personalities, but also the organizations they were a part of around the magic item.

I'm not saying you have to do your drawing the same way. But find a symbol of some type that genuinely represents the character, and expand on it. Maybe she wears a medallion or an exotic ring, a jeweled tiara if she is or was part of the nobility, Maybe she has a beautiful brocade coat or a special cloak of charisma that is particularly meaningful to her. Start with one thing, something that if someone else were to find it they would say "Hey, that's Elsbeth's!", a signature item, so to speak, and then let intuition and an aesthetic sense finish the rest.


Another suggestion Sexy, in a strong way, elaborate but not necessarily impractical (well, I'd not go hiking in it), and at least faintly gothic (which would be my leitmotif for things Thrune-era Chelaxian).


Since all of you helped me so much here it is what i came up with there are pencils and inks....dunno how much it'll take for the colors.
And feel free to laugh,i know i'm not Luis Royo. Sorry for all the italian writings.

Ehrr sorry, i didn't know that. I don't even know who is the girl the photo of whom i used to draw the pose

Asmodeus Tattoo on the back of her head though it seems to be distorted in shape by her physical growth and covered by her hair. The Tat continues to grow...with every life taken no matter the reason. Eventually her head is entirely black with the Tattoo causing her hair to fall out. She begins to notice the Tattoo after she kills enough people to qualify for an upper level.

Just Tally her kills. Her hair falls out at 100 kills. Her body is covered at ten thousand Kills.

Nice idea, but i'll never be able to show that.Had no idea that crappy drawing could inspire such thought
