Mug Shot

 I was bored so I decided to draw a freehand picture of several of the adventure party "mug shot" style.

Unfortunately, the new paper I bought is annoyingly glossy, and very thin, so the colored pencils don't look smooth, and the various markers (Pigma Micron, Sharpie, etc...) don't blend right.

At any rate, it was fun to draw, but a pain in the ass to color satisfactorily. So I might just give the sketch pads away, and go back to a thicker, more rough surface.

Diodiras, Berenyi and Phrixes.

...all looking a bit underwhelmed.

Escape!

 After fighting against overwhelming odds, Berenyi casts a "Dimension Door" spell so she and the guys can escape. Diodiras readies one last spell while Sig holds off the enemy...

Table Talk

 A quick scribble of the foursome, done with a brown ball point pen. 

Then I decided to ink and color it, in order to spiff it up... 

I was going for an old-timey 'margin sketch', like the ones found in the 1st Edition books 

of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons.

L to R: Phrixes, Sig, Berenyi and Diodiras,
enjoying food, drinks, and anecdotes,
as they divvy up their treasure.

Three Against Darkness

 After playing through the game once I grew bored with the rogue character, so I removed/revamped the lame S'Lyssa into the hopefully more interesting Sig (not pictured).

Here are the other three originals, heading out on a new adventure:




As always, there are glaring flaws in my drawing: the head of Phrixes is far too large for his body. Diodiras' mace looks like a pizza board, and his muscles pop far too much under his leather jacket armor. Berenyi is okay mostly, though I forgot to add the 'action lines' to indicate her spell-induced flight path. However, am very happy that I went beyond my typical group shot. 

Back to the drawing board!
