Description FULL VIEW please! Ah my very FIRST finished reference drawing!

Name: Daren
Age: about 18 Summers
Race: Racoon
Heigh: About 1,65 inces
Alignment: Caotic-Neutral

At first sight is Daren the last person one could imagine as Bandit, because of his hardly imitating apperance and personality. So yea, Daren is perhaps the most pathetic looking bandit on his own, so good thing he is around two imitating bandits at all time! [link]

Daren comes from a small noble family of many great Mages and since he was born last in the line of five simblings he was sent off to be educated at the Magistry Academy. Beeing the trouble maker he is and lazy too, Daren finds illusion as he preffered magic style, since he love to find new ways skip classes.. But soon enough he gets kicked out of the magistry for putting his nose where it doesn't belong too many times..
But soon after getting kicked out on the street he meets the two bandits Duncan (the bear) and Cervontais (the snowleopard) who reqruit him when learning about his unique magic skills.

Nice!

Funny, just some weeks ago our high school went to some badass medieval camp, and we tested axe-throwing, crossbow shooting and of
course the traditional bow.

Wow, excellent work on this one! Loving the facial expressions you've given him. I get too preoccupied just trying to make faces look right to even try doing interesting expressions! Good show!

I think this is my favourite of your characters to date, but may I offer some suggestions?
The Cross on the bow could be a bit thicker, it's this piece of wood that has to bear the tension of the string so it has to be quite thick.
The other thing I noticed is that the ears on the middle drawing (standing) seem a bit far back and this has made the head a bit too long. Mind you, all the other faces look perfect!

Well that's about all I can think of now, I'm looking forward to seeing more of this guy!

SteinWill In reply to Illogical-Lynx [2006-09-02 11:20:13 +0000 UTC]

hey thanks for the long comment! I really appresiate it
(as for the facial expressions.. well, I'm not that good at them eather so I found some pictures I could 'learn' from )

Yea, the crossbow doesn't look that good, I didn't have any reference for it so I guess it was bound to end up looking abit wrong...
and yea his ears are abit too much far behind.. I'll remeber the next time I 'll draw him ^^

Wow, I am really impressed with this one Stein^^, your poses came out really well, I mean there vary
natural and flow well.

The coloring.., of course if amazing as usual, but I like how you added sevral angles to the character, still kept the same style with each one. I might just draw him for ya >.>

sorry, I just mean that anything in a trance/meditative state is probably about to kick some serious ass when they come out of it, or in the case of random magicians I suppose WHILE they are in it.
go-consider it an abbreviation for good job

well the Dreamwalking spell he is performing there is a spell that lets him walk into others dreams.. that's how the bandit gang makes their ransom demands when kidnapping rich nobel kids Just walk into the rich parents dream and make their demands at safe distance! ^^
