Character Art
A key part of my life is drawing and writing, some of the following designs are TTRPG characters, some are designs to fit short character stories and some where just of an idea I wanted to see given form
The First
Rufus
The character depicted, Rufus, is one of my favourite designs, in which the man just punches, he is my PC or player character of the main Dnd game I have been playing for the past couple of years. This character is important because they were the first character I really honed my skills with refined my art style and developed my work cycle.
Whenever my art style changes, so does the design of Rufus.
Dux
The problem with drawing almost exclusively characters from Dnd is that you get very comfortable with drawing in a vacuum, specifically in the elements of fantasy; colour my surprise when I got invited to play the Star Wars TTRPG and had that push I needed to draw into the Syfi genre.
The character presented is "Captain Dux" or Duxen Lux, and as you can see from the design I did still lean into fantasy elements but I was very happy to give Syfi elements without the obvious robotics, lasers and the such.
Progression
And So On...
The Hobby
Following on from the previous sections, depicted is the illustrations and designs of other TTRPG characters.
I always mean to time myself when producing these pieces, but I always forget to in the moment as I have too much fun in the design and drawing of them.
The Shiro Ranger
The Shiro Ranger is a series of designs inspired by series like Power Rangers and Super Sentai.
Shiro Ranger
The Esoteric
The Esoteric
The two designs provided, were my first attempt at drawing humanoids intentionally leaning into the uncanny valley.
The designs are of deities, specifically a god of rain, sadness and melancholy and a goddess of creation, mountains and valleys, but the main purpose of these designs is to intentionally drag in more abstract properties
Sea Life Armours
In my time as an artist, I have grown to love drawing armour, though out dated when I drew these three, I had started to adapt my shading style to be more colourful.
The depicted are some of my earlier works in which I attempted to incorporate different sea creatures to be the base for the design.
The sea creatures are in the order of a crab, swordfish and puffer fish.
Armour
And More
Leap Frog
Just another design to broaden my style, also an attempt to showcase movements that might otherwise be difficult to showcase in a still image.
The character shown, Leap Frog, was an attempt at creating a "spider-man" or "batman" like superhero design
