Description
The first thing I've ever uploaded and it's something I commissioned fairly recently.Thanks to for drawing such a fantastic picture.
Her full name is Sahlia Ahdre Kyala (yup it's one person in both heads) and she's a D&D character I thought up one day just kinda on a whim. Wanted to do something different from what everyone else does for "exotic" characters and that's what came to mind. Lemme know what you think.
Edit: Forgot to do this before

Yeah, this is the start of the whole thing for me, the very first look at who I've promoted as the top of my roster of characters.

I'm going to take a wild guess on what you got there:
Obah-Blessed Multiple headed Human Ninja

Very good guess, slightly off but a very good guess.
She's actually an Elven Rogue instead.

Yeah, I'm tryin to get some more stuff for my gallery, and at some point I'd love to be able to draw on my own and not have it look like complete and utter garbage.
Don't worry about it, it happens.

Dude, you could ask that to me too: I'd be glad to draw something related to a storyline of yours
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That could be interesting to see. Send me a note with any ideas you have for a storyline and I'll look them over.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, YOU send me a note with a character you wish to see.
I suppose you do not make drawings or am I wrong?

I'm stuck on the bad stick figure stage personally, wish I could draw though.
And I thought you had an idea for a storyline involving her, sorry.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
You did a great job with the musculature and textures on this.
If I was your DM though...
... I'd want one hell of a backstory involving some kind of magical experiment or something, give her a HUGE penalty to charisma (I mean HUGE) due to the fact that pretty much ANY one is going to run screaming their heads off to get the town guard when a warrior with two heads and four arms walks into town. (as far as a peasant knows, they could be anything up to and including a demon) and require her to take multiweapon fighting and multidexterity in order to not take MASSIVE combat penalties.
As far as combat, I'd also make her roll a dexterity bonus check to try to beat a DC of 15 plus how many of her attacks she wants to make that round. Any she couldn't make would be because she tangled herself up. The DC would go down by one point every two levels.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not spurning your creativity or anything, and I love this image,
My game mechanics balance/reality check meter just had to get that out, lol

First off, I had nothing to do with drawing this (be nice if I could draw this well)
As for the character, how familar are you with Eberron in particular and D&D in general? The short form of the backstory is that she was in Metrol (capital of Cyre) on the Day of Mourning, due to a magical mishap as the mist that forms the current Mournland borders hit some magically powered experiments she was near the energy unleashed caused this to happen.
Mechanically/ruleswise, it's the multi-headed template and the Obah-blessed template added to her. Lot of bonuses but the level adjustment of 7 kinda balances it out pretty well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not too familiar with Eberron, intimately familiar with D&D from 2nd ed. through 3.5.
The level adjustment sounds appropriate, but chill out, it's all in jest
Although, I do have one silly question.
If you didn't draw this, why did you upload it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eberron is more of a pulp/noir inspired realm, it's a realm that can allow you to do some over the top things. Take for example a fight with the main bad guy that starts on an airship but you have to pause long enough to jump off the ship after it's caught fire and is crashing into a docking tower so you can resume in the crumbling remains of the building defeating the guy and grabbing the artifact running out of the building just as it collapses behind you...all as an intelligent construct.
Sorry about the overreaction, wasn't sure about your intent.
And the reason why I uploaded it even though I didn't draw it, I think it's a beautifullly done drawing and I wanted to give credit to the artist for this by showing it off here. That and I figured I had been eating up enough server space here I thought I should do somethine worthwhile with it.

Technically what you've done is against the rules though.
You are expressly only allowed to upload your own work, or work that you took part in.
It does not matter if you give credit or not, your gallery is for your work only.

not true, this is Lonestranger's Character, he commissioned it off Angel-T to draw her and i'm pretty sure he asked him about posting it as well. nothing i can see under Deviantart policy that says that's against the rules. not the first deviant i've seen to post commisioned they ordered, so lay off him. and for the record, i read thru the policy before i posted.

wisdom is a beautiful thing
