More updates, that's great
I am noticing a change: you are displaying the head and chest in the latest images instead of the entire body. Don't get me wrong here, they look great, but I am curious why you have chosen to do them this way?

Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
No particular reason, Gandwarf. Just experimenting. It opens up more options for face and facial expressions. I also find it a bit more challenging.
I'm with ya 12, plus I don't really need to see feet unless there's something odd about them.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)

Name: Tanya Gaelen
Race: Human
Location: Rhadim, Thargellian Highlands
Tanya works for Augustus von Haedor as an assistant. She admires the man - his relentlessness and unending patience. They are not romantically involved and in fact Tanya sees Augustus more like a father figure than a lover. It was pure chance that brought the two under the same roof one windy and rainy day a week after Augustus had entered Rhadim and decided to take residence just outside of the city. Tanya just happened to seek safety from the weather in the same inn Augustus had chosen to set his base and they soon found out that they both enjoyed the company of each other and that their views of the world followed the same guiding principles.
Although not a religious person, Tanya has strong convictions and deep understanding of common kindness and fairness which are - sadly - vaning traits and making way for selfishness and greed. Naturally Augustus did not just happen to trust the girl he met out of the blue, but instead put her through several tests before spilling the beans on his mission in Rhadim. Tanya does not know all that Augustus knows, but she knows enough to act accordingly. Her job is manifold: she is to act as a liason between Augustus and Miriam Sandell who has penetrated the deep core of the rising Syth cult in Rhadim and she is also to keep track of Miriam, follow menial errands in the city and see if she can find information about the possible corruption of city officials. Tanya does not personally know Miriam, but she does observe her comings and goings from a distance whereas Miriam doesn't know anything at all about Tanya - except that there is a mysterious person who picks up clues and information that are left by Miriam to be further directed to Augustus later.
Tanya is merely an adult - just 21 years of age. But she was an early bloomer and was practically a grown-up at the age of 14. Roughly at that time her mother and father both died in a fire. She had no siblings to take care of and her parents' passing away unrooted her from the place she grew up. She took off and left the neighbourhood of her childhood and never looked back. A literal coming of age. After 7 years of travelling around she still seeks new challenges and wishes to see more marvels of distant lands and their inhabitants. It is very clear to Augustus that Tanya is not going to stay beside him for the duration it might take to destroy the cult of Syth in Rhadim. Although Tanya has expressed an ideal that she wishes to see this thing through to the end. Who knows, maybe Augustus has enough influence on Tanya to make her stay in Rhadim until his job there is done.

Oh indeed! Increasing the messages / page to 40 makes browsing a lot less awkward. Thx for the tip, Redrobes.
These illustrations are so cool. You have done a really good job.
BTW do you mind if I use them for my ongoing d&d campaign(giving you credit for them of course) as my drawing skills are next to nothing?
Naturally. That's why they have the Creative Commons licensing symbol on them. Check http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses for details of the license by browsing down to the same symbol. Basically I'm just denying you any and all commercial use of the images.Originally Posted by Avengeil
Yeah, but out of respect people still like to ask.
Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go..
I had already checked out Creative Commons license in a thread(I think Quabbe had started it) about using somebody's map without his permission.
I find it really nice when I know that somebody is appreciating and using my work and I just wanted to pass around the feeling and to let you know that somebody is using them.
Thank you. It's appreciated.
