#60 Challenge: <CHARNAME> before-and-after
Deadline: Monday, 29th June
Post your piece in this topic!

Suggested by Deva - thank you - and to quote,

The spotty teenager who falls out of Candlekeep with three gold pieces, a healing potion, a +1 dagger and 250 xp points is bound to be a lot different from the highly capable young woman/man dual wielding the Flail of Ages and Crom Faeyr putting the smack down on Mellisan.

This means, two pictures at the same time. One of your character at the beginning of their adventures and one at the end (And no, dead character doesn't count. Undead on the other hand... )

You remember the drill I hope. You have two weeks time, and everything artistic goes as long as it's made by yourself.

[Epantiras]

Yay I was looking forward to this one!

Mine

Leather armour, long sword, bukler and cheap horned helmet VS dragon armour (made from Abazigal's skin), flaming sword, (some shield I didn't bother to draw), signature winged helmet and a bad attitude

Songs of Innocence / Songs of Experience from William Blake.

EDIT ops I didn't notice nobody posted after my previous comment.

I'm tempted to say "cute kid" but I'll probably get a lightning bolt for that Will you color it?

[WeeRLegion]

Very kewl, the mood change is very tangible. :]

[Silinde Ar-Feiniel]

Cool armor Epantiras! I agree with Doxia, I'd love to see it colored!

[Epantiras]

Will you color it?

Someday, I hope ;p

[WeeRLegion]

Tomorrow I say, tomorrow! Lest we color it blue with our tears of grief! t_t


Wait, tears aren't blue, awwcrap...

[Cykuta]

I love it! The way your young character looks foward to adventure and really enjoys her new (but probably old at the same time) shield is so much different than the lady of murder scorning at the whole world... Quite sad, actually. Makes you realize how strong the bhaal taint had to be to change her like that.
Poor thing.

[Cal Jones]

Well the taint, then witnessing her foster father being murdered, being chased by assassins, framed for crimes and hunted by the law, finding out she was the spawn of the Lord of Murder, having to kill her brother, then being kidnapped and tortured by a crazy mage, losing her best friend, finding out her best friend was actually her half sister, being betrayed by another friend, having her soul ripped out, having to go to hell to get it back and having Anomen as a boyfriend...yeah, that would do it.

[Epantiras]

having Anomen as a boyfriend

That alone would be a good reason XD

But yeah, the whole Bhaalspawn experience is something that could break one's mind.

From lazy...


...to paranoid.


All it took was a few measly assassination attempts and a wee bit of torture.

[Kulyok]

That's very beautiful. Enjoying each and every pair of Charnames.

Before: 'Oh, Imoen, you child, my arrogant cynicism is justified without a doubt! Spending nigh on twenty years doing nothing but reading books has taught me much about the real world and how cruel it is. Why must you be so naive?'
After: Events that actually induce paranoia tend to have more of an effect than a few weeks on the road does. Also, I imagine losing the taint made her a good deal weaker, so thinner hair, paler skin, etc.

[Epantiras]

Wow cool pics eveyone

Noes! So big feet.

Presenting Alaja!

Pishposh! Admit it, you only put on the golem armour because you kept on stepping on your hair! Cheap little Bhaalspawns that don't even want to spend money for a haircut. Tsk!
