Description More headshot painting practice things of more NPCs that have been or may be in my campaign~

The top left is Lady Sabel Goldthorne, the newly appointed Duchess of Dagor Astram. Or at least she will be once she actually gets married. I tried to make her look young and kind of innocent. Both the humans on this page ended up with more make-up than I usually try to apply to characters, so that was good practice.

Top right is Ghorza Qinstina, a cleric and the head priestess of Wee Jas in the city. She's half-orc half-elf, which if I recall correctly should be impossible according to the Book of Erotic Fantasy. But fuck you I wanted to make it happen. ouo

Middle row has some spoilers. Sort of. I guess not really. The left is yinyangswings 's character's mother, Lady Vera Heched. She may or may not be appearing in the campaign, depending on what the players do and how rude I feel, and if she does at all she won't look quite like this. The blue haired elf on the right was her most recent lover. The reason she has blue hair is because I told my roommate to pick a color without telling her what it was for. She actually had chosen "magenta" at first, and it looked really neat, but I changed it because Nubbybub 's human character already has pink hair and I didn't want to imply some sort of weird "are they related is Emily part elf?" line of questioning to make things more confusing. It's just that now Emily isn't the only character with ridiculous anime hair.

The bottom row are some orcs

The left is a merchant who they had the possibility of meeting in the first session, since I had made up a few different encounters and then rolled a die to decide which one happened on the road. But since they didn't her trip into the city was boring and uneventful and now she's peddling her wares from her wagon in the city square. Her name is Rahori Lumarimm.

On the right is some guy the players haven't met yet and I won't spoil my plans. ouo I mostly just wanted to try drawing more orcs. I also realised after coloring in his eyes that I had made both the full-orc characters with pink/purple eyes, and Vera also had purple eyes, and then remembered about a bit of lore I added into the neighboring country about the humans there probably having at least some orc-blood and wondered about the possibility of Hal being half-elf, quarter-orc and whether or not that would be really stupid. xD But in all seriousness, purple eyes are probably not exclusive to orcs. Just like green eyes are not exclusive to elves. I should probably remember to update my race and lore page to just say something like "lol everyone looks like however get reckd"

Hi!! I'm here from the ProjectComment  

About the poses, I like the way you can fit the eyes, nose, and mouth in a good position on the face, the proportion of
them. I like the hair color, specifically the red one and the blue one. Maybe you could improve the lines a bit, the first face, for example, the neckline
is a bit harsh and together with the shadow makes it seem really deep...  maybe the blending way could be worked out as well...
you did a really good work here, I like the proportions, and the way you draw hair is pretty nice, the chosen colors
to paint the hairs are great. You have a great potential drawing characters!! Keep doing it!!

I really like the variety of scull shapes and skin tones you used on this one! I would say that the highlights are the ones that give your characters some variated personality, as well as the make-up you used on the humans. When I look at the portraits and compare them, I feel like the line-art is fantastic, but the color-blending needs more work to be done. That's something I find hard to accomplish for myself too, and that's why I avoid drawing portraits very often because I believe that they don't look as realistic as they should be. Of course, I have no personal experience from digital art (although I really want to have) so I don't know how hart it must be to create something "alive". However, I believe your art in character portrait-creating is fantastic and you should keep up the good work!

Thank you~! C:

I get what you mean about the blending. I've been trying to practice getting a more painterly style, where the brushstrokes are visible, but it's hard to hit that happy medium of looking "finished" while still being kind of messy looking.

Ihaveapassion In reply to CoattailsOfJustice [2018-09-15 06:33:33 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, now I get what you mean   I'm trying to do the same thing with watercolors. Still, as I see in your latest work    your blending is really good and you could experiment in it trying to find that "messy-artsy-brushstrokes-style" you're talking about . It's easier when you're working on one of your already finished works to alter it, in order to find new styles, trust me   .

Here from ProjectComment ~!


Very nicely depicted. A huge fan of tabletop gaming myself; I've been playing D&D for the last thirteen years or so myself, mostly as a DM but sometimes as a player.


She's half-orc half-elf, which if I recall correctly should be impossible according to the Book of Erotic Fantasy. But fuck you I wanted to make it happen. ouo

This made me snort a little, love it ><


Anyways, lovely names, neat backstories, and a nice variety of facial expressions - they're subtle, but each face portrays a different personality. Your shading and linework is excellent; if I were to give one constructive criticism, it would be working a bit more on the foreshortening for Sabel. You did a really great job with all the others, but the oblique angle on her face seems slightly off on the right (her left) side. 


To add one more thing, on the other hand, you did a fantastic job with the blue-haired elf on the middle right - profiles can come across as very flat, but not only did you give it really nice depth, but the typical angular, elven facial structure is very visible.


Great work!!

Thank you! c: This campaign is my first time DMing! I've been playing about ten years now tho, but it's still new and exciting.

Ahh, looking at it again I see what you mean with Sabel. The angle of her face is sort of 3/4 but I made the facial features look a bit too straight-on. oops

Thanks again! I really love trying to practice profiles with that bit of depth there, so I'm glad it turned out well!

Hey there! Very nice pieces. The line work is very nice and very clean. It really makes the pieces look very structured and purposeful. However, the lines on the neck seem very harsh, almost like cuts. The muscles on the neck are usually not that harsh, and especially not that harsh on most women. I'd work just a bit more on anatomy, even if it's just the neck. Other than that, the faces are very well done and diverse. Very impressive! Keep it up!

Thank you~! c:

ahhh yea that's kind of a thing I tend to do. OTL Usually they're mostly in the sketch stage to get down the movement of the head/neck/body and I soften them at least a bit. (the lines for this are fairly rough which might be why I left them as is) But yea I've noticed I make the tendon there a lot more prominent than it is on most people, sometimes it works okay and sometimes it doesn't, even tho I know it's really unnecessary to do.

Hey! I saw your post in ProjectComment and I gotta say this looks great!

I love the different jaw-lines and how vastly unique each face is. From same face syndrome going around like the plague (my work included unfortunately), seeing this is just so refreshing! My only critique is the top face on the upper right. The only thing that needs to be fine-tuned I think are the placement and size of her eyes, they look a bit squished on her face and don't have much room. I think maybe making the head as a whole just a tad bit wider could fix this because you'll have more room to play around with, or just decreasing the overall length of the eyes so they can be separated somewhat more might help. The eyebrows are also slightly squished in as well, but fixing the eyes first can easily change the way the brows look all together. I do like that they're close to the hairline though, it really captures the character's age

I hope this helped somewhat!

Thank you! :D Making different face types can be really hard, I've been trying to put a lot of focus on it for a while now and even sometimes I know I still have characters that look too similar. Looking at lots of different portraits of different people can really help, and just keep practicing~! c:
I see what you mean with her eyes/face. Honestly she didn't come out quite the way I had described/imagined her so I was thinking of redoing that portrait anyway, even tho I do kind of like how it came out. I'll keep your suggestions in mind if/when I do!

Thanks again~! c:

Yaaaaay~ Even tho he prolly won't even ever show up in the campaign you should design Hal's dad~ Since I kinda just went ahead with the mom without asking if you had anything specific you wanted for her I would feel bad if I designed both of them xD You don't actually have to if you don't want to I just think it's neat to see the characters' parents~ ouo
