Description Another old drawing i found and rescanned.. should probably throw it in scraps, but i like it somehow even if it's not too good. This was drawn a couple of years ago and has actually been published in a book (an "encyclopedia of play," as an illustration for the article about RPGs.. the article was also largely based on an interview of a friend of mine and myself.. kinda makes you wonder if that's enough to classify me as a geek.. yeah, it probably is.. ). Anyways, this caricature illustration is meant to be a real RP clichΓ© collection.. there are stereotypical fantasy characters: the elf archer with big pointy ears, the dumb human knight, the wizened old wizard who keeps losing his hat, the stout dwarf fighter and the stealthy halfling thief.. all lined up more or less neatly for a family portrait. Then i dropped in a monster (a troll who is just about to smash in the head of the witless fighter.. originally i intended to draw a dragon, but it didn't fit in the composition.. ) and some characters from different genres: the future cop, the Bond-style agent and the vampire. Regular pencil.. probably HB+2B, can't remember.

Funny, but I think I would be just the opposite sort of wizard - the one that keeps jacking other people's hats!... If only because I feel the strong temptation to do it in real life. *shrug*

I adore this dumb base characters, I used to play Rpg frequently when studying art, and always some of the newcomers, that lasted only one play session, had something like that

Thanks! True, there could be more.. but i didn't really plan what to put in originally and the space ran out!

Heh.. i hate it when it happens. Nowadays i actually try to plan every drawing before starting..

Where's the ranger chick in the battle bikini? That's like one of those must have stereotype!

aautio In reply to Steelpengu [2006-02-03 21:32:15 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes.. there's quite a few misiing. But i ran out of space, you see.. This was the time when i didn't do much planning -- i just started to draw from somewhere and at some point i noticed the paper was full! The chainmail bikini broad is perhaps a bit more a fantasy art clichΓ© than a character stereotype, but it's a slight difference. I guess i should've given the elf that kind of outfit.
