Description In a year I've done four individual Nazir images. In said year, I've done forty of Dekker. I feel there's some favouritism there xD And in all the times I've drawn Nazir, this is only the second time I've drawn him smiling. Shhhhiiiiiit xD

Also, Nazir recently caught up with the rest of the Black Griffons level-wise (after dying 8D), and took his first level in Horizon Walker. Watch them bonuses start to stack making him into the 'natural warrior of the world' I'm going for ;D

So I've been thinking on Nazir a little more, potentially with the idea in mind for a little redesign as I delve into his background a bit more and give him some story while I develop his people's culture more thoroughly. - I had a ~lot~ of time this vacation spending hours in the back of a car while driving hundreds of miles, so my thoughts ran away with me xD 3600 miles in three weeks gives you thinking space ;D

I wouldn't say this is a redesign per say, but a push towards it. I don't want to change too much, but I wanted to soften him a little. He's got a pretty manly face, square jaw etc, but he is only in his early 20s (well, 20 in campaign xD) and I feel I draw him looking far too old. I'm also debating to keep his hair down or do something different with it more often. Not sure. Either way, I need a feather in there because of his falcon, Shaq, and I like revisiting gold and turquoise jewellery, gold being very big in status in his culture and turquoise pulling from Native American decoration, since I'm leaning more towards a Native American styled culture, just more nomadic. Get back to me after I've read a few books for research xD


Oh yeah, back from vacation now btw ;D I've nothing but draw since I got back, but they're mainly stupid Dekker things that aren't worth posting individually.


Nazir Daq'ar belongs to me C:

I really like this one .
All your other Nazir pieces that I've seen seem kinda serious, whereas this one he's still kinda quiet, but it looks like he might actually be enjoying himself ^^.
Would be great to learn more about his cultural background!

Thaanks, I just never draw him smiling and thought I ought to try it out xD He is capable of smiling from time to time!

For some reason, I'm always draw more to your Nazir and Elris art, rather than your Dekker art (though I love that too) and this one just... makes me very happy. It's probably the smile. Love it!

Sheppard56 In reply to Styxxsardonyx [2016-08-03 23:36:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! They're more typically handsome men, I suppose? Plus Nazir is more chilled and laid back while I tend to have either zany or dark pictures with Dekker that are less... aesthetic? xD

Styxxsardonyx In reply to Sheppard56 [2016-08-04 18:53:09 +0000 UTC]

Maybe. It could be the aesthetics. Even when I entered the ENDZ OC contest way back when I enjoyed drawing Nazir the most. But love love all of the boys, in all the ways you style them. I guess  just in different ways.

Sheppard56 In reply to Styxxsardonyx [2016-08-04 20:26:18 +0000 UTC]

I try to have a variation ins designs, so I've a range to pick from if I'm not in the mood to draw yet another Dekker picture xD (though that's pretty rare xD). I do enjoy drawing Nazir, I just don't do it all that often >.>

Styxxsardonyx In reply to Sheppard56 [2016-08-06 00:00:29 +0000 UTC]

I love your art regardless of who you draw.  

I should get some variations going in my stuff. It may help with more inspiration.

Perhaps it's the muscles, or the solid jawline?

Haha, that's probably a part of it. But I think also the personality you get through their expressions.

You're welcome Aww, okay. I understand. But... didn't you make die one time? If I am correct.

Anyway, I trust he made a good choice. Who is the lucky girl? Are they married?

Sheppard56 In reply to BunnymundLover4ever1 [2016-07-17 22:31:02 +0000 UTC]

Do you mean he had someone before and they died? Because that was Zeke rather than Nazir, who's not had anyone before C: Nazir himself has died twice xD

She's a friend's character, a forest-y cleric, and no not married, not yet at least ;D

BunnymundLover4ever1 In reply to Sheppard56 [2016-07-18 00:36:38 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I see Well... I was wondering if this is the picture before he died twice? Or... Is he alive again now?

That is sweet^^ But is a forest-y cleric character like an enchanted elf? Or something?

If they marry, they should have a kid... three^^ Two boys and a beautiful girl who Nazir is overprotective of and dotes on a lot...

If you two want

Clerics are actually religious figures, wielding divine magic and usually tending towards healing, it is a class not a race so can be played by all races. In this case the cleric in question is a human who likes nature and forests. I am not sure their wandering lifestyles are suited to having children at this time.
