Here’s the rest of the illustrations I made for Paizo’s Towns of The Inners Sea.
As I said in my previous post, they were mostly portraits, which was both good fun and good practice.

 

 

This is the one I’m maybe the happiest with. Her name is Uzmilla and she’s obviously a witch. She was supposed to have wrinkly skin that looks like leather – check; one green eye and one red eye – check; a nasty look but not too evil – check?

I’m particularly satisfied of her hand. Practicing on greys really paid off, the way they make her skin sickly and thin on her bones really works there, I think.
Looking back at it, her neck could do with some more work, and the edges of her silhouette are way too sharp, but hey.

 

 

This, on the other hand, is the one I like the least.
It came out a lot more “oh look I’m such a good chap” than I meant to. For some reason I feel like I should do something mean to him, just to spoil his day:(

 

 

This one, her name is Salodri, is intriguing. The brief didn’t explain why she is wearing an elaborate eye patch.
I like to think she has a perfectly good eye underneath, she only does that because it’s her way to be a hipster.

 

 

And this is Zundrunga. He was supposed to look strong (check) and trustworthy (check).
Fun fact, after I finished working on Towns of The Inner Sea, I realised that I made him exactly like an old friend of mine at school.
He was strong as a bull, but with a kind and gentle heart. For some reason, the moment we met he decided we had to be friends, and that his mission in life from then on was to beat the crap out of everyone who even thought about bullying me.

High school was a walk in the park for me. I hope you’re doing fine buddy.

 

 

Lord Hazic Kel Kalaar here, is the one who gave me more problems. I struggled to fit his banner in the frame, his face really wouldn’t work and I made like five versions before I decided this was was good enough.

Either way, this is it for Towns of the Inner Sea.
They are printed at a fairly small size, so the large areas with relatively flat colours should work fine (I haven’t see the prints yet).

More stuff to come shortly!
