Hey everyone, lately I've been wanting more practice in with my art and I figure what better way to get motivated and finish some new pieces than with free character portraits?

The first three posts on this thread will be the only ones eligible.

Hope to talk to you soon!

You can draw my girlfriend's character if you want, she's a purple-skinned Dragonborn Barbarian with a very large axe and a set of Chainmail. She's also androgynous, pretty dumb and uneducated and rather violent and short tempered.

You can draw Remmy: Female half-orc Rogue/Warden Hybrid [4e, 10th level] With 20 Dex/Str, 8 Int, 10 Cha  ~12 Con/Wis.

Wears Hide armor and Gadgeteers Garb [An Item Set from adventurers Vault 2 I think] (Cloak of many pockets (Basically a Trech Coat of Holding), electric chaneling armor, Alchemists Gloves, and Gadgeteer Goggles) She fights with a spike chain which is usually hanging out of a number of the magical pockets on her Cloak. Not quite shoulder length black hair, and a smallish knife scar on her face below her left eye.

She is a street thug conscripted into the service of the Royal Eyes of Aundar in an eberron campagine. She is ferciely protective of her party members, but has a tendency towards brutality and an inferiorty complex about her lack of intelligence and sophistication (which she tries to hide with limited success).

Edit: Here is wiki page if it helps, though it lacks much in the way of actual description. community.wizards.com/therenegade/wiki/R...

Excellent. My e-amil is just my username @gmail.com

Send me a mail and I will put you all in a random order and let you know how the list goes. I'm going to try and get one of these done in a week to a week and a half each seeing as how I'm going to color as well.

Thanks again, can't wait to hear from you.

Why email? You should post them here for everyone to see! Mine is for a play by post game character anyways.

Oh, side note of some interest: If you want to retain rights to your pictures, post them on photobucket or deviant art or something, dont actually upload them to the forums. Linking to them with that little tree icon between the font color and emoticon buttons will show the picture in the thread. I don't know the specifics but I think the forums might work on a 'if you upload it to our site it is ours' philosophy.]

I think that applies to everything you post on these forums, so that would probably include pictures. For safety reasons I'd indeed do it as Toasted said.

Also that makes it easier for you to link it to other places, like your own portfolio. (If you have one, of course)

So I got quite a bit of coloring done on Echosave's Druid and I'll be sketching out Pluisjen's piece soon.

Here's another look at the work in progress for Echosave.

I like where it's going. But the axe looks a bit off from how picture it I think... we normally have them with both heads the same size, like this:
blogs.pitch.com/plog/DoubleEdgedBattleAx...

Other then that, looking forward to it. I think she'll be quite surprised when she sees it Smile

It's a perspective thing. The axe is turned at an angle, the head on the 'left' looks bigger because it is closer to the 'camera', if you will.

Sorry about the long wait guys. I have some more work done on both your Dragonborn and Half-Orc. I'll post them soon, but for now I'm just gonna apologize for the lapse in at least some contact. Things have been a little crazy on my end. So sorry about that. I'll have some sketches up in a day or two.

No problem, you're providing a free/voluntary service to us, I don't think we've much right to complain Tongue out

Looking forward to see what you've drawn.

Got quite a bit of work done on your girlfriend's Barbarian Pluisjen and here's a look.

As for Toasted I'll have a few of the preliminary sketches and some line art for you to look at very soon.

I had her take a look herself and she was quite surprised and she likes it, only she thinks it should be a bit darker purple and she doesn't want the boobs because it's a running joke in our party that nobody knows what her sex really is and the Warlock spends at least 10 minutes every session trying to find out...

Other then that I think it looks awesome, she's probably going to put this one on her character sheet Tongue out
