Description Then, with a cry of triumph, she brought out what she had been searching for. Tas, leaning up close to see the new wonder, drew back in disgust. It was a dead--very dead--lizard. There was a piece of chewed-on leather cord tied around the lizard's stiff tail. Bupu held it toward Raistlin.
"You wear around neck," she said. "Cure cough."

I've never really seen a depiction of Bupu that I was really satisfied with. No one seems to draw her pitiful enough and, in my mind, she always had a Smeagol-ish thing going on with her. Everyone else usually draws her too cute or too healthy-looking. So I decided to draw her, and since I like to have the short races beside a medium-sized creature to show off their stature, Raist sort of snuck into the picture again.
However, I neglected to remember that they're actually crawling in a sewer pipe at this time, not standing around. Ah well.

This picture is most certainly full of awesome. Raistlin is perhaps my single favourite mage character, ever, and anything to do with him is great. Wonderful job, by the way.

looks really good. I actually painted the exact same scene. Check out mine. Your right about everyone painting her too clean and cute. My painting probably shows here being even more just the opposite.

Well, looks pretty good. But I really think I remember something about both male and female gully dwarves having beard.

Maybe false, but will, here are my 2 cents

Anyway great picture


Cya round!

They do have beards but it is mentioned in the book that Bupu only had a few stray cheek whiskers.
