Description
So, Helga ([link] ) got turned young. And hot. In something that is a long story. Because I haven't drawn a picture of her in a looong time, I decided to draw one!Information about these characters you never cared to know about, but I'm telling you anyway!
- Scharr was originally going to be a female. He was turned into a male character literally just before the session due to a coin flip.
-Helga and several other NPCs from the original campaign all had Disgaea-themed last names (Helga Vyers, Lawrence Lamington, Vladimir Krichevskoy...)
-Helga is technically 253 years old.
-Helga's original appearance was inspired by this Andrew Wyeth painting ([link] ). She was given a scar because I wanted to make a female character who was ugly for once (IRONY), and I always felt putting a scar on the mouth was the ugliest place for a scar to go.
-On that note, she originally had two braids. I got lazy and she looked stupid with two braids, so it turned into one.
-Helga had a boyfriend at some point. He has never been named nor drawn.
-Scharr's voice and movements were originally inspired by rtil.
p.s. THIS WAS NOT AT ALL INSPIRED BY THIS FRANK FRAZETTA PAINTING ([link] )

So funny, and so expressive! I love the guy being so afraid!

Brilliantly drawn and rendered! The expressions really sell the whole thing!

I don't know if you succeeded in making her ugly with that scar. Tough-looking, yes. Ugly? Nah, I don't think so. XD

Oh god no, she's not ugly now. In a long-story-attempted-to-be-condensed-to-a-short-one, she was originally old and grizzled and not very hot ([link] the drawing sucks, but it's closer to what she used to look like). Then my friend made events occur which lead to her being hot again and I cursed him for all eternity.

Yeah, I saw the drawing with her as an old woman. And the chainmail bikini one. XD We need more women in chainmail bikinis. The whole male-dominated fantasy art world has given them far more credence than they deserve. *snort*
Sorry, don't mean to sound like a raging feminist. Wildly impractical armor like that annoys me a little. Like the time I had a female NE tank, and her armor was a midriff-baring gold bikini. Too bad there were no outfits that would have put a big red target on her bare stomach. At least that would have been a little more honest (and amusing).

Oh god no, TRUST ME. A lot of female armor designs upset the piss out of me. I can understand something like boob cups, where the breastplate fits the chest more tightly...
But my biggest pet peeve is this: [link] . She's supposed to be an armored knight. She's fully covered. Except her... chest? What?
I was very happy to hear someone went and modded the game specifically to cover that area with chainmail.
... to be a hypocrit, Amelia, a more rogue-y silly character had a retarded armor design that I went ahead and altered because I realized bare chest and no pants bothered me so much. ):

I had a friend who used to draw women in more practical fantasy armor, and she actually had people complaining that they weren't in skimpy outfits.
That's awesome that someone modded the game model. The only mods I really used was for Morrowind: the Better Bodies mod, which replaced the totally hideous character models. That the only thing I didn't like about that game. XD

Wow, that's pretty sad. I actually got a compliment from a guy on one of my drawings of a fully armored chick, because he mentioned "... That's the first woman I've seen with no skin showing and is still hot."
I -love love love- Oblivion, but yeah, the faces and bodies are a little dumpy. It gives it a weird sort of charm though. And also I was satisfied that in that game women -are- fully covered in armor.
... I played a Nord chick who was a Knight of the Nine dressed in full-on plate. She stood at least a head above everyone else and everyone called her "sir." pretty dudely.

I usually stick to playing dudes in games. I figure if I'm going to be staring at a screen for hours on end, I should at least be staring at something I find attractive. XD;
I've played a little Oblivion, but for some reason I just find myself nostalgic for Morrowind. Plus I really hate the menu interface for Oblivion. The developers clearly sold out to console gamers. It's just a pain to use on a PC.

I haven't really had too much experience with Morrowind, sadly. I bought it on the Xbox, played it for about five minutes, got killed for a rat and immediately decided I hated the game. I gave Oblivion a try on the PC and loved it though. People say it's because I played Morrowind on the console. ):
I commonly play guys in MMOs and RP, solely because I find them more interesting and feel more comfortable playing them. I also like going after girls. for some reason.
...
yep. not a lesbian.

I tried Morrowind on a console, and it was a pain in the butt. The menu didn't really translate well (so they overcompensated in the opposite direction with Oblivion--oh well). XD
I have a 72 female NE in Wow, and a male 71 NE. When I play the male, I sometimes like to flirt with female characters because I figure most of the time, it's going to be a guy IRL and I want to make him uncomfortable. XD (And I have a few male mule accounts on Gaia modeled after some of my OCs that I use to flirt with my female friends.)

Haha, most of my characters in WoW are male. Infact, I'd go so far as to say that out of the five characters I play most often... -one- of them is female. Fun times!

I mean more *OLD* women in chainmail bikinis. Otherwise I just contradicted my entire rant. I gotta start getting to bed earlier than 3 AM. XP

This WAS inspired by that Frazzetta paintin!
u liar! I can see by the way Scharr has his hand around Helga's leg that it's inspired! lol I'm kidding.

NOT AT ALL INSPIRED BY IT. I SEE NO SIMILARITIES.
And I love how you decide things in your campaigns with coin flips too XD
Also, I feel like she would be extremely Swiss if she had two braids. I'd be all "BITCH WHERE BE MY HOT CHOCOLATE" and she'd be like...well...She'd probably kill me.
But its okay, I deserve it.
I'm an ass.

I think there have been several joke drawings of her with two braids in a swiss outfit.
Yeah, she'd probably choke'abitch. She's crazy.

YOU'RE RIGHT.
THIS MUST BE AMENDED.

But as I cannot Helga as anything but old and cranky, nothankyou.

She's really fun to draw. I like drawing her when she's old better, but it was an interesting experiment to make her not only younger, but also hotter.

Hahaha, Adonis is so weird, casting all those appearance changing spells. But it does seem kinda awesome that you got to mess with her character design a little
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
... I still like her old. ):
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah she's more of a badass when she's old for some reason- maybe the idea of having an old lady as a tank is crazy awesome. Still digging the art though.

Scharr was inspired by rtil? XDDDD Oh god! I'd like to say "I can see it," but I can really only see Scharr as Scharr at this point.

I actually remember the first time acting Scharr, which is when I was presenting the idea to Deej in the shower. It was like a mini goofy RP session, where he was RPing Dresvan and I was RPing Scharr, and they were arguing about elves.
The voice and the shoulder-shrug-head-bob came from that. "Lemme tell ya" came from him typing reactions to all the other characters in the original AP++ campaign, in which someone pointed out the sheer amount of times I used that phrase. It became a staple.

omg you pitched Scharr to Deej in the shower. That is incredible. XD
I do think I remember that! I think that's also where I got Arinae talking in run-on sentences from.

I have the image of some ba.... you have inspired me to take up the plastic rectangle and pen!
I've been playing WoW like nuts and I'm ashamed to say: when stabbing things like crazy and pissing off everyone but my friends who are laughing their asses off and pretending I'm a jerk I just digressed after a colon. Is my soul forfeit?
undigressed: I am inspired.
FRANK FRAZETTA!

BARRY WINDSOR-SMITH!
I was given a barry windsor-smith book for my birthday, it's awesome. (I have not ever read conan...)

Your soul is not forfeit. IT IS STILL ALIVE.
YEEEEES! DRAW MY FELLOW, DRAAAAW!
Haha, I actually can't say that Frazetta inspired me too much as a whole. I think my biggest inspiration was Ben Caldwell. His books and life-drawing really helped me turn my art from flat, 2D to more 3D.
