Description For

Sardonyx has worked as a weapons smith for quite some time, earning a modest living. While he crafted generic weapons to sell, in private, he and his brother worked on unique weapons and improved current ones, the most successful being the Summoning Gantlet.

Sardonyx has been drafted into the military a few times. During one particular war, he was able to gain favor in the eyes of his king, and was promoted to being the royal weapons smith.


Relationships with Teammates:

Xovq [link] : He sees it as his duty to protect her at all costs. When he does speak to her, (which is not too often) he addresses her formally and respectfully.

Keosarka [link] : He also addresses her with respect. While he is concerned about her safety, he does not stop her from her potentially dangerous decisions. He does not understand her Morse code, so he has to rely on his other teammates to translate.

Deigom [link] : Even before meeting Deigom, Sardonyx does not hold him in high regards nor does he really trust him because of his strong association with the Saphoro (recently there have been tensions between the Saphoro and the kingdom Sardonyx is from.)
______________________________________

Yay it's finally done. I didn't exactly do what I originally planned, but I think I like this better, because it would have been too busy.

Edit: The weapons shown are just a few examples. While the shown weapons do have a distinct color scheme and style, not all of his weapons follow these trends. He does have some weapons that are rather ornate and detailed as well. Basically, what I'm saying is that I'm not really picky about how the weapon is rendered.

Sardonyx is my character.

No problem ~ I can't believe my character outvoted yours - Sardonyx seems so much cooler with those weapons he can summon and all O: And his design is cooler ~

mmmmmmmm.... i can taste the awesomeness
I think I like the most, I dunno why thou, is the image from behind him. Maybe it's because of the wings that are drawn so well. And designed. That chara and the race really impress me!
all those little details there, also the fact that the chara is drawn from many angles unlike usually (boring side-views-only are not good :C )...they just make me so happy! You've put a lot of efford on this one and I can clearly see it.

... I cannot come up with anything more smart to say xD

Thanks.

I agree, the back view is my most favorite rendering of him here.

The front, back, and side views was the required format for this particular reference sheet. Even though it is time consuming to draw out, it is very helpful, and not just for those drawing him. It really helped me figure out how certain parts interacted and the specific shape of his horns.

HaanPere In reply to Xovq [2009-07-16 06:34:49 +0000 UTC]

Yep, that always helps. And without all the views I wouldn't had gotten a clear image of the shapes and especially the horns.

You're welcome ^^

Thank you.

XD Yeah, but it's a lot shorter written out in his language. They have some really weird consonants with complex sounds and some that humans can't even really pronounce right. That's also why I translate his name into Sardonyx and not how it's actually pronounced in his language.

You've obvously put a lot of thought and effort into your charicters.
Good luck in the Real

Oooo, he IS a cute.
You're always able to amaze me with your originality and color schemes. Every shade here compliments its neighbors exceptionally well. Your details are very well described and in good moderation; there's enough to hold the viewer's interest but not too much that anyone who wants to draw him in the future would faint at the sheer amount they would have to include. Very well done.

I'm glad you like him. It really means a lot to me when people point out something I tried really hard on, and for him it was getting the right amount of details and the right colors. Thank you.
