Before I go to the insanity of shade, color, and detail, I'll show the base. This lineart render is considerably more clean than the render I did on the first one. The lack of hair doesn't seem to detract too much either, I kinda like how it turned out. =D

Eshaine, I need feedback mostly from you so I can edit it as I go to make it as accurate as possible.

EDIT AGAIN: Damn, I just realized that Eshaine put emphasis on "clothing"... as in, structured clothing that is more symmetrical. Hmm... Oops. I still have the mannequin though. Changing the attire is actually pretty easy after you've got the figure done (yes, I draw her naked first).

EDIT: Mudder: Birthday Boy is not dead -- just temporarily deflated. =D

ANOTHER EDIT:

That's the portrait I think I'll use for Raar'.

Re: Unfortunately, I don't have his description.

bio raar

Born at: 1pm, Fifthday the 45th of Order (Winter) 574 PC.

Aged : 285 (Right-handed)

Description:

An enormously powerful and stocky dwarf stands here, looking

at everything and everyone around him with an incredibly surly

and grouchy eye. Nearly every inch of him is covered with armor,

all of it spiked and jagged, to better mutilate and rend the flesh of

any who might dare oppose him. The armor about him is so thick,

it seems to make him seem double his normal size; it is possibly

even thicker and more jagged than the legendary heavy plates of

the crusaders! What little exposed flesh of his remains seems to

have the texture and the color of the rocky mountains themselves.

A pair of massive spiked gauntlets are worn on his hands, with

all sorts of needle like barbs sticking out from it; simply shaking

hands with this dwarf would result in multiple puncture wounds!

Each hand grasps two enormous axes, the each of the axe-blades

larger than himself! The edges are as sharp and jagged as the rest

of himself; truly, they are the mother(s) of all axes. His eyes burn

brightly with a wicked, combat-ready gleam in his eye as he glares

at all his surroundings. Truly, a massively short specimen of great

power.

Great pic, but....more rage! More madness! Raargant's the guy that repeatedly beat the crap out of his own Knights for contradicting him on the merits of beer, then demoting them, then promoting them two levels, then demoting them so they were right back where they started :). Not that I know much about drawing, but I imagine Raargant as having a more furrowed brow and an angry glare, with lips curled up in a perpetually maddened snarl.

Mattamue, thanks!

I was gonna put a lens shadow around the edge, but I tried that and ... I dunno, trying to stick to the concept-board look. That way I can focus on character design and not get hung up on backgrounds. =P

Raargant and Korropant/Verch are next.

Not enough free time!!

-Really great work though, it will look most excellent on the Website.

I think we skip Raargant and do Isadora, then Dilorry, then Elesa, then Palwen, and well, more womenz.

If you do end up doing Raargant, more bulky,armored crazy dwarf, less gnome.

You guys don't gotta look through all my crap if you don't want, I just wanted the staff to know if that they use these images they'll still be uploaded elsewhere.

I'm really, really tired of drawing today... Raargant's is taking longer than I thought. Articulated armor and weapons are time consuming because you have to tweak perspective so much to get it right.

This is what I have so far. Imagine another mother of all axes in his left hand sort of wedged into the ground.

Edit: That's kind of annoying, my image host re-sized it on me... if its at the resolution I'm working at, it looks a lot better. Whatever. Its not done anyway. Raar', lemme know what you think needs changed/added right away so I can do it before I start coloring. Once coloring begins, I stay in coloring, lol.

Another Edit: ... I think I'm actually going to take some free time and play the darn game. Lol.

No pressure. Get some rest.

The drawing looks very nice, but the one major comment I would like to make is really one word: BULK! It might be the resizing, but he looks like one of the 'scrawny bastards' Raargant loved to mock. I envisioned Raargant more like the Juggernaut, body shape/bulk wise, except shorter, and with really brutally spiky armor (which you drew very nicely).

I do love the facial expression you drew in particular! As with the body though, 'bulk' up his face, please, and make it 'stockier'.

Okay, sounds good. I'll widen up the plates and put a crazy head-ornament armor piece in. Everything's in proportion now, so if I widen stuff up, it'll automatically make it stockier by throwing the proportions .. off.

Is Raar supposed to look exactly like a Battlerager from R.A. Salvatore's Drizzt Series? Sounds exactly like one. ^_^ Just a thought.

Yes; his class was, in fact, 'Battlerager', and his title was the 'Most Wild Battlerager'. Except he was bigger, uglier, and nastier than any Salvatore battlerager...
