Re: Character Looks and Pictures
It's almost like you opened up a sealed can of artistic and released it on the forum. There is far to much content for me to respond to so I will do my usual "insert incapability to comment on the quality of art comment" and skip strait to providing the information you requested. As a master of many guises Meridia could in theory look like anything, that and I don't focus much on things such as hair etc in my imagining of characters. As for what she would be wearing, I'm going to assume you don't want the "general business" attire as that would cover her entire head in a hood and mask. The only issue is beyond that I'm not sure what she would wear. Maybe draw it with the hood and mask off. In terms of what the Armour would look like I'm undecided. I don't know if she would choose awesome over impracticable and go for deep black over dark grey, or vice versa. Maybe you could decide depending on your preference. In terms of what the gear looks like, I like to think it looks something like the equipment from the Thief games.
Re: Character Looks and Pictures
I figured I should do a masterpost of any recent-ish digital art I've done for DnD related things. So for anyone who likes scribbles of a low quality, here you go!!
Figured I'd start with some N'Miir, hah. The first three are all the same image (also my most recent pictures of him), but one is the sketch, and the other two have different eye colours. That's because N'Miir's eyes are green BUT this image is meant to be him getting his powers ready for a very specific eldritch blast (now when does N'Miir wear a black hood and cloak hmmm) and I decided for dramatic effect, his eyes could turn red...heh
(also I loathe colouring in, I really suck at it)
Also, this is now a fairly old (at least in my opinion) scribble of N'Miir in the style similar to the earlier Tharry one. This one is never getting finished but I figured I'd post it because....
ALSO a while ago I was sort of trying to draw a female elf and I guess it evolved into an attempt at Meridia. I say attempt because I'm not really sure what she's supposed to look like, and I never finished it (honestly a finished piece is rare for me -sighs-). Genisisect, feel free to give me additional information on what she looks like so I can attempt a more accurate (and complete) picture of her!!
(note: to anyone who wonders why the pictures I draw are naked half the time, it's really just because I draw the body before the clothes -a logic thing for an artist to do, as clothes fit around the body and if you don't put in the body structure things can get weird-.)
(and yeah, the Meridia one is a little old so it's a bit awkward in some places. I definitely want to have a few more goes at her fskjghs)
To anyone who's interested, here's a bigger version of my avatar...
without the dorky background flowers -shrugs-
AND FINALLY, the picture I've been working on for some of last night and some of today...
It's Knifey and Tosscobble! Knifey's facial wounds are inconsistent and also constantly getting worse. You can't tell because I can't draw but he's actually missing a large chunk of his nose in that picture. Also praise Tosscobble's monkey feet...(kidding)
Also Tosscobble has a special feat called 'defy gravity in very specific artistic circumstances' because even though he's holding onto Knifey's arm with his feet and he's actually leaning on one of Knifey's hands/arms he probably shouldn't be staying upright like that...
(unless he rolled a natural 20 for like a strength or balance check, or something...)
and at some point I'd like to draw Tharry and Ivelliohn on the empty side (I imagine this picture takes place after Knifey and Ivelliohn have recently met Tharry and Tosscobble) and Tharry is wondering if his new Xeph friend is being corrupted by the halfiing (and if they're conspiring against him). Ivelliohn just rolls his eyes...
also for fun, here's a version of the picture without Knifey's facial wounds!!!
This version contains my...um, artist's notes. Which aren't actually notes about my art at all. they're rather ridiculous...
for an easier read, the note closest to Knifey reads 'do you even lift' (said by tosscobble) and below that 'well yes actually' (said by knifey) and the other is a long and silly potential conversation which is also meant to illustrate the way both Knifey and Ivelliohn deal with questions that poke Knifey's sensitive spots
it reads....
Tosscobble: So, you gonna tell me what happened to your nose?
Knifey: Oh, I was partaking in a game of 'I've Got Your Nose' (an ancient xeph sport that features in the xeph olympics!!) and it went wrong.
T: Wait, so did your mum rip if off or something?
K: Aahaha, no, I was playing with Ivelliohn!
T: ...Are you gonna tell me why two grown men were playing 'Got Your Nose?'
K: Because we're friends!!
T: ...And you're saying John ripped half your nose off?
K: What? No! I was the one trying to get his nose!
T: But you're the one with the injured nose!!
K: I know! I did say it was a game gone wrong, ahaha!!
T: ...You're messing with me aren't you?
K: Believe what you will friend
Clearly, the story isn't meant to be believed, but it's amusing enough to entertain while also giving a subtle hint that Knifey doesn't particularly want to talk about this topic.
And as a final note, it's not what they have to be saying. You can imagine your own conversation occurring here. Like Tharry, you can assume they are conspiring to dye all his belongings pink, or you can imagine it's silly or serious, or that Knifey himself is the one asking the questions ('so, do you defy the laws of physics all the time Tosscobble?')
BUT I hope you enjoy these scribbles of mine even if they're nothing particularly special or good OTL. I shall attempt to finish the last of the arcane records soon!!

Re: Character Looks and Pictures
As for a comment on the picture, I think it looks very good. Though I could imagine very few situations where Tharry would go shirtless...
Re: Character Looks and Pictures
I really am contemplating giving him dark hair instead... everyone seems to think he does
Well, he looks appropriately convex! (See previous Genisisect comment)
Well done!

SO I HAVE THAT WACOM BAMBOO TABLET THING
I AM SORRY THIS IS NOT VERY GOOD BUT
Also, I just remembered that you, in fact, kept his hair silver (I think you considered changing it at one point -or John was nagging you to change it-, and that threw me off) so now we have random dark-haired Tharry. Well, bask in his glory! His...apparently shirtless glory (it was just easier to draw, ). And yes, he has no eye colour because I forgot that too.
Ultimately this is just a quick Tharry picture, done pretty fast. If you made him bronze and blond, you'd also get something similar to N'Miir Arshil, whoops.
(I really should try and start doing those avatar-style pictures kjsdghf)

Re: Character Looks and Pictures
Also sorry, an elven body is approximately convex, so it will disperse high energy light not focus it.
Re: Character Looks and Pictures
Excellent, I can reflect all the harmful UV rays onto Tosscobble, and he can die.

Re: Character Looks and Pictures
My guess us that the silvery blue skin would be too reflective for tanning ,especially as it would be a more efficient reflector in the higher energy wavelengths which are the harmful ones.

Hahahahaha!!! Smurf Tharry!!! Hahahahahaha!!

Re: Character Looks and Pictures
Question: What colour do moon elves tan to? If Tharry had spent his life getting healthy exercise outdoors like a Ranger - rather than cooped up in a windowless tower poring over ancient books - would he be bright blue like a Smurf? *grins*

Re: Character Looks and Pictures
In fact Dimble could have a spell that augments his clothes colour as a pre-cantrip, makes more sense, as he is an illusion centered character.
Re: Character Looks and Pictures
I will allow for a pre-cantrip level of magic that includes such useless and benign things as doing the washing up, or cleaning and pressing an outfit etc, that said changing the appearance of your clothes would classify more as a Disguise self (though I may allow an exception).
Re: Character Looks and Pictures
(Take that, expendability!)
Anyway, back on topic.
I have retconned Tharry's look slightly - he's not completely blue, he's very pale and subtly blue, and looks bluer in certain lights. He still has silver hair though.
Genisisect: when we say we have an outfit, e.g. I have a "Scholar's Outfit", how many does that actually mean? Do we all (except perhaps Dimble) have just one outfit to wear, or is it assumed that we have a few? (I would assume the former). The reason I ask is that I want Tharry to have a few different coloured outfits to wear - if we really only have one, would it be unreasonable to say that Tharry's outfit changes colour magically, or he does it himself? Or would I have to actually do that in-game to justify it? He is a wizard after all, surely we can allow a simple colour-changing spell?

Re: Character Looks and Pictures
I agree Mr psychic-ears (or whatever my nickname for you was). I think we need a dedicated Tosscobble vs Stupid Wizard thread.

Re: Character Looks and Pictures
All this fighting, it makes Knifey sad. He'll have to draw you both singing with bunnies now, just to make everything better.
Also this thread has gone dreadfully off topic. Unless the topic is for you two to fight until you have black eyes and singed features, oh dear...

Re: Character Looks and Pictures
I would, I've written quite alot of material based on Tharry, and he WILL survive to play it through.
Re: Character Looks and Pictures
You on the other hand, Mr Long-ears, are quite expendable, and I'm sure no-one would notice you go missing

Re: Character Looks and Pictures
Actually tharry Tosscobble is an agent of the law, so quite the opposite.
Re: Character Looks and Pictures
So I could kill Tosscobble and get away with it then...?

Re: Character Looks and Pictures
Besides, I had not intent in killing him, I just wanted my money back. I was only trying to incapacitate him, and he went off and ruined that by falling off a building!
