Something a little different today - I sketched out this character a few days ago and it received quite a lot of attention over on twitter and instagram (the DnD community seems pretty strong over on those platforms). I’ve even had a few people reach out and ask to commission me to design their RPG characters too, which is a very cool prospect.
Anyway, I wanted to share my work here since it’s never really come up before, I’d also be really interested in getting your opinions and feedback since it’s not your typical, semi-realistic D&D art.
The art style should support the use; semi-realistic character art comes from people wanting their character to be dramatic and “real” seeming. This art style definitely supports a more upbeat character, perfect for a bard
One of the best things about OL is that it can capture all sorts of genres and gameplay styles. Make games and characters your own way; make art your own way!
Do you have an online portfolio or Deviantart gallery? I’d like to see more!
Thanks man! : ) the response has been insane over on Reddit - think I’m going to be opening for commissions in the near future because I’ve had so many requests.
Definitely! I got quite a few comments saying that they wish there was more light-hearted RPG art so I think a few people feel the same way
Sure! www.twitter.com/jakeillustrates - if you check out my twitter there’s also a link to my portfolio website and my instagram where I post a lot of sketches : )
