Here's the character I did:

Race: Tabaxi (Pallas’ cat) 

Class: Monk (Way of the Wu Jen) 

Sex: Male 

Personality: Batu’s practice as a monk gives him a calm disposition - serious but not stuffy. Friendly, earnest and intelligent. A curious and explorative scholar by nature who tries to find the joy in small things. He is the type who would spare a few extra moments along his way to observe a beautiful spider in its web or to take in some particularly fascinating architecture and would be happy to tell you about it, if you wish.

Age: Early 20’s – an adult, but young 

Height: Head to toe - 3’ 10” / 117 cm. Tail length - 1’ 9” / 53 cm. 

Weight/build: About 60-65 pounds, but appears heavier due to a stocky build and dense fur. You can’t see too much musculature. 

Hair color/Style: I’ve put this in skin color instead since he has fur 

Eye color: Dark yellow with a bit of green. His pupils are round instead of slit. 

Skin Color: His fur is an even mix of grey, white, brown, and black all over his body that helps to blend in with a rocky environment. On his forehead going towards the top of his head are a handful of small black spots. Starting at the outer and inner corners of his eyes and going diagonally downward are two black stripes flanking one white stripe. Under his neck and chin is a small mane with whiter coloring. Down his tail are 6 black stripes and the very tip is solid black.

Items/Weapons: Batu uses a short sabre, similar in style to a Chinese duandao. 

The sword has been crafted for one of his size and stature, and so it's not oversized. Modest in appearance with no special decoration. He carries a spell book on his belt, along with a small satchel for spell ingredients. 

The spell book has an aged, very dark orange binding with bronze corner protectors and two buckles around the outside to keep it closed. The book is clearly old but in good shape. It is definitely more ornamental than his other possessions, with decorative embossing of a horse head in the middle surrounded by bronze embellishments that are made to look like lightning bolts. Even so, it is not what one would consider flashy.

Clothing top: A dark blue hunnu-style deel, knee length. There are a handful of circular floral design throughout the material, but it is not overly decorative. A yellow sash helps secure the deel around his waist. A brown belt is above the sash, and from it hangs a spell book as well as a small satchel. 

Clothing bottom: Blue breeches that match the color of his deel, slightly more form-fitting, that are secured at the ankle with thin brown leather straps. 

Footwear: No footwear for this little guy

Here's the character I did:

Race: human

Sex: Male

Personality: All business, no emotion. Confident. Master of his craft. This is a character the PCs cannot hope to best when they first meet him.

Age: 40s

Height: 6'0"

Weight/Build: Muscular

Hair: Unseen

Eyes: Unseen

Skin Color: Unseen

Weapon: Large, heavy two handed sword being wielded one-handed. Simple sword design, nothing fancy aside from its sheer size.

Clothing: Black iron armor from head to feet. The campaign is a Conan / 1st Ed D&D inspired swords and sorcery game, so the armor design should be relatively grounded in construction. The helm should be completely enclosed with an eye slit that cannot be seen into. The only ornamentation should be the attached logo (the symbol of the mercenary company that employs him) worked into the center of the breastplate, and should be about 4 inches tall. 

The black elements in the logo should be raised higher than the rest of the breastplate, and should be painted a deep crimson. 

The lack of visible human elements should make him feel extremely intimidating, almost alien.

Here's the character I did:

Face: The character should be a female Aldarin human (Aldarins are essentially Romans, so quite dark tanned skin), Facial structure-wise, wide jaw between 25 and 30 years of age. 

Hair: with long brownish-blonde hair, braided as per the reference photo. 

Build: her body showing her as quite muscular (lots of exercise walking around the city in heavy armour!).

Outfit: They are better funded than The Legions, so their roman style armour is made of iron and steel rather than bronze. The skirt part of the armour comes down closer to the knees, as would the tassles/baltea (dangly strappy bits). Include the Emblem of Permadecio on her chest armor. 

Outfit color: Black and a dark navy. The shield worn by them would be a much larger shield, more in line with traditional Roman scutum. 

Shield: This shield would be the same blue and black as the armour, with the Permadecio emblem on it. The eye of the emblem would be centered around the boss with the pupil being the boss itself.

Cape: On her left shoulder, the one not decorated with the gryphon design, she would wear a shoulder cape. This is currently fashionable in the present Aldarin era. The cape would come down a bit past her knees, but only cover her shoulder and that side of her body (added references for this). 

Cape color: The cape would have a silver lining, a black exterior, dark navy/blue interior, and maybe some blue patterning along the black (feel free to play with this design!). 

Footwear: She should be wearing roman style sandals which come up about half-way to the knee. Again, feel free to play with the design of her outfit a bit, keeping practicality in mind.

Belt and belt items: On her belt, she would have a waterskin, a coin pouch, a clip pouch for carrying food rations, and a pair of vials with healing drafts inside (these would appear a magical red in colour). Not all these need to be visible in the illustration, just listing what she has to let you decide what can be seen. She would also have a scabbard for a gladius, a Roman shortsword. She might be wielding the gladius, or have it holstered, depending on the pose you go for.

Overall colour: Blacks, greys, dark blues, navy, silvers (if you think any other colours might work here, feel free to experiment!)

Emblem

The Permadecio emblem is a white eye with two feathered wings protruding from behind it. The intent is to state “we are always watching”, with the wings referring to the speed at which they move to help their clients. The pupil of the eye might be silver or a dark navy, depending on where it sits.

Here's a labyrinth commission I did for a Dungeon Pack. I really wanted to make it feel old school and classic!

[phill-art]

Commissions open! This is my art of a DnD storm sorcerer!

Client's description:

Race: Technically an air genasi, but in this game setting, she looks remarkably human aside from her hair floating from time to time.

Age: 16-17

Height: 5’7

Body Build: The girl is thin, having spent many of her formative years on the streets. She has a boyish figure, a bit smaller than average in the chest area. 

Skin: Skin tone lies somewhere between fair and tanned.

Eyes: Grayish blue

Hair: Hanna’s hair is a honey blond. One side shaved, with the other side left long with a few intermittent braids. A light curl to her hair. A peculiar trait of the character is that a few strands of her hair tends to float in the air of their own accord. (The picture I’ve placed is a rough reference. No designs in the sideshave, though. Doesn’t have to be exact to this, obviously.)

Attire: So I know most artists don’t want to take clothes from other artworks directly, and part of the fun of this is that she’s going to be buying a new outfit. So I’ve put down a few other images with a general style of clothing that I would be leaning towards for her. Color palette would be teals, deep blues, grays, blacks. Just something with several belts and pouches, and preferably a coat of some kind. Not going for sex appeal or anything extremely flashy or sparkly. Practical above all else, but something that looks well made.

Warhammer (back end of it has a lighting style trail and a wrist strap like thor) Shield top half is plain silver but the bottom half is the depiction of a storm

Top: priest suit of navy lined with silver with the white strip fir a priest collar being silver sitting underneath silver half plate lined with blue with storm patterns. Left arm is about as armored as the reference. The right arm has no armor on it but the left is coated in it. The symbol of talos rests on a necklace over the plate

My art of a DnD human kid knight standing on the corpse of a beholder!

Shout outs to all the parents that get their kids involved with D&D! I think it’s so important to encourage imagination and creativity! Yes, it’s very impractical to have a kid in full plate, but that’s kind of the point, fun over realism. This is her short story: This young knight was part of a family of knights. They ventured far and wide, taking high paying work from various villages. As they traveled to their next destination, they came across a Beholder hive. They fought ruthlessly to escape, but Alaina, the youngest daughter was the only one that survived.

My art of a Sea Demon!

I hope to inspire DM's when they are creating their campaigns! I could see this monster giving a DnD group a real challenge!
