Elise And Olivia.

I started playing DnD with my friends. I’m a noob, but I’m a noob that can draw, so of course I made character cards for our entire party. Because friendship.

For the cards, I took inspiration from different cultures for how I would stylize each one 😁 

for more info/dev commentary on Umran (because he’s my character) keep reading if you want I guess.

For Umran, my character, I wanted to do an asian inspired take on a Paladin. Not a monk, because I wanted him to still be armoured. So I took the idea of a religious warrior, and tried to make the base religion different from catholicism, and add a focus on spirituality. Which is why I made him a Kalashtar (Secret Identity background so I guess in game no one really knows he’s a Kalashtar or that Umran is technically not even his real name). Although his origins are a secret, it’s fairly obvious that he’s foreign so he doesn’t hide that he’s foreign and his design leans into that. In fact he takes advantage of how other’s perceive him a the “exotic foreigner” and hides his true identity in plain sight. Umran was really about putting different spins on a Paladin. Different base religion, more DPS leaning, not lawful, a rogue-ish-like personality, etc.

Sketch dump.

There’s no way no one snuck in some wine/had their own stash.

Also, I just want Edelgard to have some real pure happiness before shit goes down.

I had a little too much fun with Nikolai today hehehe

On the illustration on the right, when I removed everything apart from the reds and the strap, the resulting silhouette was so strong that it just made me think of those Minimalist movie posters. So I just had to do this. I also could not pass up the opportunity of Nikolai “staring” questioningly at his movie poster hehehe.

Also, this is NOT an actual movie. Just me having fun. I just thought that if an actor would play Nikolai, the perfect face would be Matt Bomer. If someone would play Empress Natasha, it would be Natalie Portman. Elizabeth Debicki would play the Queen Nikolai ironically falls in love with.

A study.

Maybe coffee break tech guy’s boyfriend hahaha

Another one from yesterday.

I loved Zoids as a kid. The toys, the shows, the one english gba game. Then I found out that the english patch for fuzors and the ds game was finished so I played them. Then, I ended up rewatching Chaotic Century and New Century. Then I got inspired and just did some stuff for fun hahaha. They’re not part of any specific zoids universe, just the idea of here’s a lineup of people who pilot some zoids, playing zoids tropes, thoughts on talent, prodigies, and found family.

I imagined the indigo guy piloting a shield liger. The Blade Liger is my favourite zoid, but I wish there was a more defense oriented “evolution” of the shield liger to suit him, but I don’t know how to design mechs. So if there was a shield-ier shield liger, that would be his zoid, since he’s more of a tank. Maybe he can pilot an Elephander, but I just love the shield liger-blade liger zoids so much. Plus he’s one of the “main characters”, so he must have a liger! 😂

The little girl pilots a Zaber Fang, because she’s also a main character and the main character usually pilots a liger so I thought hmmm maybe let’s subvert that while also being a callback to Raven, a prodigy.

Also, tbh I don’t know why I made a health bar sketch because if there was to be a health bar of any kind, it would be for the zoid and not for the character. But the idea came to me and I had fun 🤷🏻‍♂️

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy it 😊 Maybe I’ll post my Van and other zoids character sketches one of these days (if i get around to scanning them 🤷🏻‍♂️)
