Done. What can I say, I was inspired. If something needs fixing/adding just say.

The lines of the muscles came out a bit too well (seeing they only have strength 7), but I don't care! It is way too cool!

I reckon I simply change the descriptions a bit of the eyes in this case.
In your case the eyes are a soft purple with a star like a pupil, where I had thought more dark purple of several tiny dot tiny stars shining in the eyes (like in the window (which rocks!)). However, I think they probably stand out better this way.
I also love the books...
Can I force/beg/negotiate/make sweet love to you in some way to make more?

Those muscles are for show and not usable in any way

Sorry about the eyes, I guess I haven't read the description properly when I started

And yes, I will draw some more if I find some of the creatures interesting - got any more them beside what's on the first page?

Ilmatar: I'll get a gallery when I get a longer attention span so I can finish pictures to actually put IN the gallery, otherwise I'll overfill the 'scraps' section in no time

Don't worry about the eyes, as said I like the version like this... It went more away from the Ultraloth look-a-like and therefore different eyes is not so bad. Besides, artist interpretations can help greatly as with the Megom of Galsic.

As for other creatures... well not at the moment. After all I ready have a more complete start book than half-full with loads of creatures... shouldn't be too much for starters. However, perhaps you like some of the ones I untagged of eKatherina. I've talked to her and the holy symbols and humanoids are more her thing and she goes on with that (except for the Undead type which she liked).
So perhaps one of the untagged ones you like?

[Orthodoxia]

For this one, do you have any further specifications? A word of warning, I'll be drawing a female.

**X) Elfish or Human Cleric with a green four-leaf clover on a silver star (eight pointed. North, South, West and East bit longer than the in between directions)**

[Deathsangel]

Female is fine. I hope to find a nice balance between male and female. The Drow warrior of Mennelanna is male, as is the cleric of wonnimchunha is male so female is fine . Don't know what Galsic's Goblin will be like; Guess I'll wait and see

There is a bit of extra info. I have a drawing of the new holy symbol, the correct one is the one in the left upper corner of the image attached to theis post. This drawing is again of eKatherina.
The Cleric should not be heavy armored, clothing a bit of light-leaf green and silvery (as the symbol), but it is fine if this only comes back in the tunic or another single clearly visible clothing piece. Naturally I would like the holy symbol to be visible (perhaps she in the moment of turning (your call and freedom). Here is the info on the linked goddes:

Tyriana
Chaotic Good, lesser deity of Luck, Love, Hope and Freedom
Tyriana was the first mortal to ascend into godhood during the Age of Wonders. Born out of a Satyr and a Sylvan Elf, she has from her early child years a tendency towards being headstrong and having a great love for freedom. It came only natural to her to defile the rule of her Dark Lord and with her great oratory skill she tried to encourage the Elves to do so as well. She did not only try, but she succeeded as well to rouse the Elves to fight against their Dark Lord of Avendal. During the Battle of the New Age, it was she whom killed the Dark Lord, the first to die of them all. Her crusade didn?t stop there and she traveled over the Ever Mountains and inspired many more rebels and rebellions, though it took the full power of the ?Defiling Triad? to truly end the Age of Darkness. She arouse to the status of godhood as first of the Defiling Triad, because of the hope she stood for and the will and determination to end the oppression. Her last destination and plan was to free those that were enslaved in the Great Cracks. However, no one knows exactly where she went in to the ground and how far she is with her self-given quest. Tyriana appears as a beautiful female Half-Elf with two satyr horns on her head. She is associated with the domains Chaos, Charm, Good, Liberation and Luck. Her favorite weapon is the rapier.

Hope that was enough for you. If you need more let me know.

You're not going to shoot me now, are you?

And the only armor is that on the shoulders for the simple purpose of having a cool cloak

[Deathsangel]

Not planning on it

I do have a bit of trouble with this pic though. Her ponytail is very long and as such heavy that would never drift in the wind so to say. I know it is a waste of the pony tail, but either that needs to be more strong breeze (and from one way as the lock of her hair goes the other way) or another adjustment
She seems rather thin and her armor patches are in proportion way too large, they would slide of such a thin frame.
Seeing her I see a different type of person than I had in mind.
This person look so serene, and with a bit more stronger frame and snowy wind. She looks very much like another character... A witch from a snowy area.
Don't know if you like such an idea, and the character is much lower ranked in importance as this area lies far away, but it is hard to match the current drawing with the cleric, as you already noticed a bit yourself
Perhaps change the subject of the drawing?
Does that sound good to you?

[Orthodoxia]

I'll try to finish this cleric, don't worry.

Hmm, so how about this, loose the gigantic shoulder metal pads, and throw the hair over her shoulder. Would that work? As for serenity, aren't clerics supposed to serene? I could also add tiny curled horns as head-dress, and a rapier of course. I was planning for cape to light, almost transparent. Is two piece tunic alright with you?

The background is supposed to be a peaceful road in the countryside in the spring, with sun shining and birds chirping and...generally less shadows this time around

[Deathsangel]

No need to add horns, she need not be in physical way like her godess.
Well perhaps serene isn't the right word in this case what I mean. It is about the facial expression that makes me wonder, wondering what she is wondering/poundering upon.
She seems to be... not optimistic enough for a cleric of Tyriana. I think that is it... or just not positive enough if you know what I mean.
I like the ponytail thing because it is so rarely seen, but it indeed may better to have it over her shoulder.
I like your cloak idea, two piece tunic is fine (I have no idea what it is, but I am sure not to complain, cause I haven't got particulars in mind)
less shadowy is indeed a good thing for this drawing.

[Orthodoxia]

How about this

[Deathsangel]

Oh, nice!
I would ask for a little thinner ponytail (*) and a minicurl up at the corner of the mouth (really tiny, this because she is smiling or shouting... It may because it is without colours, but that is how I personally see it).

* edit: this because it is now as wide as her breast... Now my sister has had hair untill her lower back, but if you take that together it is not half her chest... at least not with her and other woman I've seen. Could be I haven't seen the correct one.

[Orthodoxia]

Ok, will do. So everything else is all right then?

There is one thing I would need. I can't for the life of me draw symmetrical things like that holy symbol - which to my eyes looks very complicated, and you want it in clear view. Would it be possible to get a clean black & white version of it so I can apply it in photoshop? Please

I have to see if eKatherina finished that one... Probably not though, she a bit of busy busy person
However you are right it is rather an intricate design... neat, huh?
I thought you liked a challange and practise
Just messing, I will call her tonight... and hope that I reach her so I can ask for a little more importance for that one.

Edit: grammar

Edited by Deathsangel, 29 November 2007 - 05:51 AM.

[Orthodoxia]

Hey, when it comes to challenging myself I draw the line somewhere and intricate symbols are that line

Seriously, thanks. And you don't have to hurry. When it's done, it's done. I can wait

[Galsic]

@Galsic: Time for a new smilie because I am happy!

Awesome! Glad ye likes .

Now for couple of questions. I've been mulling over a few ideas for the goblin pic and I think I might have one that I like, but first I need to know: 1) Just how prevalent are firearms in your setting? Still something of a luxury or are they pretty easily accessible to any Joe Goblin? 2)I know a couple of your megoms have "rattling gun arms", but how advanced are fireams available to characters? Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Rattling guns are the guns from the American Civil war. This means that at maximum they hold 30 bullets and can fire 6 in a single attack at a 10 feet square (much like the one in the DM guide). It actually uses a standard to be able to be fired properly, but can be done in the hand with a -2 penalty. Long distance gun has a range increment of 140 ft. All in all, if you look at t the weapons are a little beyond the American Civil War period, but not further (and shall hardly become so, but that is another point (explained in the book ).

A rattling gun is 1200 gold piece, so it is very expensive, and only availble to elite squads in the army or a good adventurer. The cheapest is a one-shot pistol (before reloading) is 80 gp. This would be doable for a 1st level i.e. a rogue (goblin favored class) with an average of 125 gold, though as can seen still a bit of gap. However, City Goblins have a neck for technology (as sub-races of Gnome and Dwarf) so in prinicipal (though not especially gifted in making guns) could fabricate their own. Than the automatic pistol comes in few even with its 150 gold price for buying but about the half of the budget of a 1st level rogue to create (yes technology is a bit more accessible than magic ).
Since Goblins tend to be discriminated they do not tend to have good jobs, but if one is a succesfull rogue (though now you are leaving your true average Joe the Goblin) he could fabricate with a bit of luck a long-distance rifle or shotgun.
Grenade Launcher, hunting rifles (which is smaller range increment, less reloading against long-distance rifle) or rattling guns are just too expensive for your average joe the goblin.

As said I have already 166 paged Still going to keep the mechanics, extra fluff and other particulars secret though... at least for a little while longer

[Galsic]

Does that mean, then, that a goblin warrior probably wouldn't have better than low-end or make-shift guns and other devices (like dynamite )? Of course, no reason why he/she couldn't be a rogue type, right ? Or would you rather I interpret "warrior" as the actual class? I ask since this could influence my drawing, too.

Very well interpreted. Goblins have a +2 racial bonus to Craft (explosives) and are also good in making poisons, and indeed a low-level joe the goblin will have a pistol or a make-shift rifle.
I believe you actuall took IIb which means that any old class would be fine. Rogue is their favourite class, and a shift combo with warrior would be nice, but not a warrior like one with shield and heavier than light armor. There are many types

[Galsic]

Thank you. Unless you have anything else to add that can affect the drawing (pm me if you have to; I'm pretty sure I won't be playing in your campaign setting...or any other, for that matter), I think I have everything I need to know .

Heck, I don't mind you will play it... just not now. It isn't entirely ready yet. Heck I want as much people to enjoy it when it is finished; either by publishing it (though that is of course an young boy's dream (25, but what the heck)) or just make it public on the internet, but in a correct nice way!
