Soulyst Adventurers


From left to right: Pyrn the Halfling Barbarian, Red Cape the Human Rogue, and Rae the Half-Elf Bard
[Dated 10-14/20-10]

Characters are from Soulyst: a D&D 3.5 rp, an ongoing Sporum-based campaign.

I made the sketches in basic pencil, then took them into Inkscape and lineart'd/colored/shaded with the Calligraphy tool. Would be more painterly to use colors rather than .1 - .15 opacity black and white for the shading, so I should try that next time - and/or make the mostly-flat base coloring a bit more complex. These are among the first arts I've done using a tablet, the Bamboo Pen I got a couple weeks ago, rather than a mouse.

The very first thing I made with a tablet was a first take on Rae (the character who happens to be mine of course). Accordingly, it did not go as well - though I'm fond of the ears!, - especially because I got lazy on the hair shading. Have yet to properly figure that out.
