Q is for Questing paladin

Last one of Iris, I swear! I only included this one, because I really like the suffering look of the warhorse. Iris never was the brightest candle in the bunch, And since her horse was a blessed being, he was probably way smarter than Iris.

Otherwise, there's a lot a bit off in this pic, both anatomically and gear-wise. If there's one drawing among these April ones that would benefit from a redraw, it would be this one.

P is for Phargentes

This one was a commission for Unspoken Word 'zine. I wonder if I knew much about the anatomy of swords at this point, but it seems that the sword could have a full tang with  a peened pommel. At least the Lunar rune is positioned right for that. Yay me.

Yeah, the legs. What did I say on the previous post? Well, at least they are cropped at mid-shin this time.

O is for Other shot of Iris

Other shot of Iris, the paladin. Her bastardsword was modeled after a Scottish claymore, although the quillons are straight. And a sword that size really should have a fuller.
I always intended her to have a sort of South-Italian/Sophia Loren vibe, and I think here her face conveys that quite nicely.

Oh, and a person should never be cropped at the joints. I guess here I was not planning ahead, and just ran out of paper. One of my cardinal sins.

N is for Neeb-neeb, the thrall

For once, there's not much story or game behind this pic. The main motivation was that while I had always liked the Skaven of Warhammer a lot, painted a lot of miniatures and even tried my hand at sculpting a Rat-ogre or two, at that time I had not yet tried to draw one. This one started out just as a doodle, and for that, turned out quite nicely. It's a bit too hairy, perhaps, but I got the pose and demeanor right.

L is for Lily

One of the few pics that does not have a story behind it. Inspired by the Kate Bush song of the same name, this was more a technical exercise than anything else.

K is for Kara the raven

Okay, here's a redeemer for the yesterday's raven pic. Of course, this one's drawn from photographic references. I don't know why a part of me still considers that to be kind of cheating.
