Feature 217--red-shepherds

1111

A perfect Orc lady! Can you imagine how strong she has to be just to wield that battleaxe? And I've been just staring at her clothing and armor she's wearing. It fits perfect for the scene we're seeing; I can just imagine the reason we're looking up at her too. Some idiot was running their mouth at her and she did a quick job to teach the dude some form of respect...at least for the next life.
Super enjoyable piece!

To Light the Darkness

Ooh, I wonder what this character is searching for? This one is apparently a deathcleric...or is he going to run into one? Both options would be a bit terrifying to happen to me; so at least let him be the cleric! And I can just imagine, too, what kind of ancient place that's having to be searched. May he be safe from whatever creatures are living in that area; I hope he's ready!
This was so fun to get to see. And learning that this is d&d based is even better, just making my mind come up with stories!

Turn Undead 2

This is very interesting. On version 1 of this (same name in his gallery), it's said that he saw a Sailor Moon screencap that helped inspire him to that and this piece. I can definitely see how...what happened in the screenshot to make it all Undead? Gosh may it not be too miserable for this state in the character's life...and may they have control!
Or maybe this is one of Red's characters? I missed that part. However, I really enjoy how this piece was drawn from this perspective. It's amazing!

It's always fun to see red-shepherds art! The link to his gallery is right here, enjoy yourselves!

Also, a note if you've not clicked the link yet: It has gotten to the point where I need a week at the end of the month for myself. I'll make sure to leave a message before these times come.

Feature 173--azureheim

Half Orc Rogue

This character appears to be so fun to play! Azureheim created her when he was playing a dungeons and dragons game with his friends and I so wish that there was a copy of the story to get to read.
The leather he painted as her armor looks very stiff, like one would hope a leather armor to be when facing swords and even knives like she's holding. Aren't those also drawn and painted super well? Excellent work; love her!

Dwarven Warrior

How do you think Azureheim managed the armor that this dwarf is wearing? I personally really enjoy the chainmail that's under the arm and legplates. It looks perfect in my opinion!
And what do you think about how that scar was handled? What other scars is hidden by all this metal? Also have to just squeal; just look at that beard! It looks so thick!
Super enjoy this guy!

Female Paladin Cell-shaded

Speaking of armor, he gets us again with this lovely paladin. I wonder what gods or, dare we guess the possibility, what devil is powering her ability to fight?
We get to see a touch of chainmail that was put on this character. Is it a specific brush that Azureheim found or created? I can't help but love that bit of texture it lends to the whole image! And just look (and drool) at the fabric coming down from her belt. Looks like it'd be perfect to make it harder to keep up with where she is--is she being watched or is how the fabric dances keeping the foe's attention?

Love the way that azureheim set up these characters, they're so fun to imagine stories and what they meet for! To see more of his awesome work, check out his gallery here!
