Osirion, Legacy of Pharaohs, is another Pathfinder Campaign Setting I’ve worked on in 2013.
Since these projects are released several months after they’re actually finished, I’ve had it sitting on my hard drive for quite some time, before I realized I could actually publish it.

In the heart of the Inner Sea region stretches one of the oldest human empires still standing today: the mighty and mysterious land of pharaohs and pyramids known as Osirion. Hosting as many accursed tombs and treasure-filled ruins beneath its shifting sands as above, Osirion offers no shortage of adventure for characters of all sorts. From the cosmopolitan capital city of Sothis, seat of the Ruby Prince, to the desolate wastelands of the Osirian Desert, discover the might and majesty that lifted humanity out of the Age of Darkness and could potentially usher in a new golden age if unearthed from the past.

As the name suggests, (and well, the description above), Legacy of Pharaohs has a strong Egyptian flavour. Pyramids, lots of sand, and North-African looking characters.

Like many of the assignments I had from Paizo, this one was mostly focused on characters and I enjoyed it quite a lot.
All characters had to look either North-African or Middle Eastern, both of which have in general a dark skin tone I rarely have the chance to practice with.
A part from rare occurrences.

The Lady of the Canal, right below, is my favourite one from Legacy of Pharaohs.
She’s the first one I made (always the most difficult first!).
Thanks to her I remembered that, when painting black skin, some blue strokes on the up-facing surfaces are kind of “the secret”.

 

 

Wali Sarita Senbi and Jira Odan below, had to look Persian instead, and since I’m not too familiar with those particular facial traits I had to make quite some research before I committed to a design.

 

 

 

The only two non-characters I made for the set are an environment and a small object, both below.

There are still a few pieces left from Legacy of Pharaohs, which I will post next time!
