R.A.B.

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.

I played fe7 as a kid, and only played fe6 when I was older. The fact that you can't do anything about the fate of the fe7 lords in fe6 was so painful. It felt like you really fail them as a friend and that keeping their kids alive and getting them to their happy endings felt like a personal promise and an apology to old friends.

Happy Valentines Day! Here’s Cyrus and Stella.

Cyrus is the crown-prince of Cloud Kingdom.  Stella is an awesome sword fighting warrior that can kick-ass and rock a beautiful dress like a model.

This illustration of Stella was actually a rough draft drawn over a year ago to get a feel of the more traditionally feminine aspect of her design and her overall character. This is actually her first coloured draft (without Cyrus). The one found here was the second. This is her in a formal outfit for an event or a similar scenario. I just added Cyrus (and Stella’s right arm, which is hooked onto Cyrus’) recently because his design took some time for me to really figure it, and in fact he’s still undergoing many (mostly) minor edits so that I can really get him right.

The second illustration is a sketch I did on my notebook to help incorporate Cyrus into the already existing illustration of Stella. As you can see in the sketch, this version of Cyrus’ formal attire has a slight Indian influence to it while keeping a Mesopotamian and Assyrian touch.
