We haven't heard from Ruloc in a while. I hope he's doing okay.

No worries, dude. Take your time with it.
I still wonder when the secondary list will advance though.
I'm also glad to hear you are okay. And we totally understand how life gets crazy at times!

Ruloc! your art is incredible!! I know you said you aren't taking request after summer, but, if you get a chance...please take my character into consideration. I would love to see her come to life!
She is young for an elf but very talented for her age. Having grown up in a nomadic family in the wildest parts of the forests, all through out the land, she has become quite knowledgeable and proficient in survival and hunting.
Willow, having lived in the forest all her life, is quite familiar with the wildlife no matter where she is. But she seems to have a natural kinship with the wolves and on occasion has been known to travel with a pack through some of the more dangerous areas. Currently she has become fast friends with a black female wolf she calls Moon. So named for the colour of her eye, one dark brown eye and one bright blue eye which resembles the full moon in the night sky. They are travelling companions.
Her Family are Herbalist by trade and tradition. With their knowledge of nature, the need to explore and learn more of the world it seemed like a true calling. Willow and her family have spent years exploring everything and anything they could coming across many different races and experiencing everything from the lightest magic to the darkest evil and everything in-between. Each encounter have taking away a new life lesson weather it be in combat or adding to her already extensive array of skills. Though no matter where she was or what she was doing she would always have an eye out for that rare and special plant to make her potions. And of course, the most rare and unusual of plant species could only be found in the darkest or most dangerous of areas, in which her family had no concern over exploring.
After years of willow spending her family time exploring dark caverns, ancient ruins and forgotten dungeons she has become very experienced in many rogue like skills. Staying out of sight, in the shadows, being her favourite. Also her lock picking skills are second to none, and she still finds it exciting to see what is behind those locks, good or bad. Sometimes her curiosity can get the better or her and takes her to places, by herself, she knows she shouldn’t go. But she has become very self-sufficient, on her own now for the past 50 years. She knows the forest like no other and can survive on her own deep in the forest for a very long time.
Willows favoured weapon is the hand crossbow, though she is proficient in all ranged weapons. She also knows her way around a sword, should her opponent get too close for comfort. Her secondary weapons are a rapier and a few daggers.
Her weapons and armour are her only possessions she cares about ( or actually owns) so she tends to keep them in as best condition she can, and it really shows in her custom made armour. Willow has a dark, almost Gothic, style which shows particularly in her armour. She wears light leather armour. Dark red and black in colour with elven designs pressed into it. She wears a double belt which her sheath rapier hangs by, it also acts as a utility belt for her herb collecting and her potions. The bolts for the hand crossbow is always close at hand, literally. They are attached to her bracers. 5 bolts around each in what look like individual sheaths. The sheaths look like two strips of leather that are weaved with in the bracers to create open pockets for the bolts. Her daggers are carried in her boots. Two daggers in each and the boot its self comes up to just below the knee.
Willow, though friendly and approachable, still considers herself to be an observer no mater her location. She is, VERY rarely, the first to approach friend or foe alike. Unless there is a situation that so warrants it. And if a combat situation arises, hidden under a shy and friendly disposition, this is a highly reactive, swift and fierce opponent to be faced.
Being a herbalist has made Willow care a great deal for, what the rest of her people believe to be, the weaker races. Willow does not share the same thoughts. Having helped thousands of sick and injured in her lifetime, she has come to realize that these frail beings have more strength and courage then most. She looks down on no one but the kind to take advantage of others at their most vulnerable. And that is one thing she will not stand for. Being of the chaotic good alignment, Willow follows her own moral compass. So she found that the Andoran faction was the best fit for her. If anyone should wrong her, her family, or anyone she feels doesn’t deserve such treatment, she will make sure retribution is paid the way she sees fit. Sometimes just the simple act of being rude is enough to make the coin purse a bit lighter.
Ruloc, I'm thinking of subbing out one of my requests. Would that be alright with you?
(also, I'm doing this to try and nudge this thread back to life)
His day job probably runs in Feast or Famine, and he's likely buried in day job work. Hopefully he's ok.

Yeah and sorry. I AM burried in work, regular and some commissioned work. And to top it all my brother is getting married next weekend and I'll travel to his place tomorrow, which means I can't access my PC this week. -_-
But this thread is not forgotten and I am very unhappy about the current situation each time I visit this forum. :(
Patience is a virtue, and I like being virtuous.
Just glad to hear from you. Drive safe man. =)
We're here for you, too, Ruloc. Be safe, have fun, and we'll be here when you get back. :-)
Glad to see your doing well, and tell your brother that a bunch of internet strangers wish him the best of luck in his upcoming venture into marital bliss.
But this thread is not forgotten and I am very unhappy about the current situation each time I visit this forum. :(
Just glad to hear you're still out there and okay!
And if anyone is feeling impatient (like I was last week), go read Ruloc's initial post on this thread (like I did) and remind yourself what it's all about (a game!) and how generous he's being with his talent (really really really generous!).
Peace,
fen
I once waited a whole year for one request.
The only thing I worried about was the guy forgetting I ever did make a request.
But yeah, I can wait for quite a long time. Just do what you have to do, Ruloc. We'll be here waiting.
Posting mainly to keep the board active. That and to again state that the pictures are very much worth any wait we may have, so no worries :).
I like the idea of keeping it alive. Lets just not devolve into weird endless debates.
Funnily I see Icyshadow and all I can think about now is I got talked into playing a white kobold in our game. She's the group fighter.
Glad to see the kobold love spreading.
Bring down some foes, be it by blade or by traps.
...or even better, use some bladed traps you set up!

I introduced Kobolds to my games after one player kept pestering me. I made some improvements to them. Mostly in the stats more than anything. So she is traveling with him, a dog and a sylph. Somehow due to random rolls he rolled he was 'married'. So he asked if minded playing her as his character's mate. He is silver and she is white. They live on my world's equivalent to Africa.
I'm not unhappy with it though. I admit I am fond of kobolds myself.
Yay! Ruloc is baaaack! Well was before wedding and such BUT STILL! Take your time Ruloc! I'm just glad to see such a talented artist take yourself taking an interest in our characters!

Amen
Hence the "By blade" part =P

Alright. She can forgive that, but don't give Jaja any ideas. The two of them wound up in jail when he set a trap in town square, the mayors bedroom, and several other places around the town.
That got them in jail and then assigned to guard a wizard on his explorations of ruins. She consoled Jaja with the fact the ruins probably have lots of traps for him to investigate.

Nice one. Keep up the cool work Ruloc.
Thing I forgot to say for Enre's mask looks like Vega's from Street Fighter.
Awesome work. can't wait to see more

Love the new portrait! I think I may need to do a campaign based around these characters!
Ruloc, is it ok to swap characters? If so, I'd like to swap for Keiran. The write up is the last post on page 1.
If not, that is ok, too.
Thanks again for doing this. Amazing work as always.
I'm also wondering if you'd be fine with a trade-out. I've got a character in an upcoming campaign (like, months away) That I'd like to see visualized. If not, that's fine too.
...oh, and 100th post!
