Girl, and Dragon.

I originally wanted this as a straight-on profile of the both of them looking at each other, but, the difference in their sizes made that more than a little difficult, so I decided to have them sizing each other up over the garden wall instead.

I’m mostly happy with this. It looks a bit more manga than I intended it to, and the garden looks a little sparse, but, it’s basically there.

Watermarked, because it’s coursework.

Kroe, and Nailo… and a shadow monster.

I guess they failed their spot check.

I mostly like this. Kroe and Nailo were definitely worth the very long time it took me to get their line arts right and get the colouring right and such. The shadow monster looks… awful. I’m really not happy with it. D:

Well, I should explain what this pic is about no? Basically, Nailo is my first D&D character, she’s a cleric of Mystra. Kroe belongs to Amistatian. She’s a rogue.

So, when the brief came up to, make an illustration book about, well, me… I wanted mine to act as a portfolio (so it needed fantasy art, because that’s what I want to do), but also to show my interest and inspirations. D&D (and roleplaying in general) is something that I really love doing, so drawing Nailo for the book seemed like an obvious thing. But, D&D is a party-based game, and the picture would look pretty sparse with just Nailo, so Kroe was added.

Why Kroe? Well, Kroe and Nailo ended up being something of a double-team in most of our battles, and they were also the only two surviving members of the original party by the end of our campaign, so it just seemed logical. : )
