Artist's Comments
Finished! Alas family and health issues have limited my opportunities for drawing, but I'm glad this one's done. I'll do some more soon - possibly the PHB2 races?
Update 2 - I've not been well but I managed a bit of colouring today. I like the skin tone for Kalli, the tiefling. I've tried to do some snakeskin patterning on the dragonborn. I don't want her to have scales, but I do want to keep some reptilian features. I fixed the body-piercing too, as it looked more like my car keys than jewellery! More soon, health permitting. I deliberately wanted to step out of my comfort zone, to try to draw characters that aren't traditionally feminine. I know I can draw cute elves. I wanted the challenge. I'm still not happy with this one, so expect plenty of changes. Let's see where this goes... I'm not happy with the dragon head; I may try and widen it a bit, try and make it more like Bandit_Frosty's. I really liked that one. I'm fairly pleased with the tiefling, even though I'm not completely sold on the way 4E tieflings look nowadays. I think the ram's horns go some way to making her look less like a WoW Dranei. Anyway, plenty of stuff for me to think on... |

I would agree with your own comments considering your dragonborn image. I think that the body turned out well, but the head seems a little bit disproportionate. I actually like the slightly elongated neck, and the head design seems pretty solid. Perhaps widening it, as you suggested, would help make it fit the design better.
As for your tiefling, despite the abomindation that is the 4E tiefling, your picture actually makes me want to like them. Again, I will anxiously await the next version and final product, but she turned out well for a draft.
Kudos!

The real problem with Dragonborn is that a lizard head on a sexy body is always going to look odd. I tried to give her femninine eyes, but that didn't work as well as I'd hoped.
Anyway, it's nice to get comments for the draft version as it helps me improve the finished product...
Just as an idea, instead of humanizing the eyes/head, would it be possible to add more draconic/reptilian features to the body. I might just not be seeing them (due to the roughness of the sketch), but you might be able to make the head fit better if she had a slightly less human body. Although, I still think widening the head a bit would help match the size/shape of the body.
Anyways, just my two cents...

If it makes you feel better, I have difficulty with dragonborn heads as well. I can never get them right. Except for once, but I havent gotten that one scanned yet. Plus I hate the new design for dragonborn. They look.... feral. Like they eat babies or something. Harken back to 3.5, when dragonborn were an amalgamation of metallic dragon features, each different. Thats the current design for my DB Pally, in any case. I should scan that too.... Damn you Scanner gods! Why have you not seen fit to bless me! A pox upon you!
Im sorry, i may be rambling a bit. I am sleep deprived, and I nver do well with that. Goodnight.
ps~ Teifling is gorgeous.

Action porn. Jason Statham makes one of these films every three months. I think the plot to his last movie was that he got his dick caught in a pile of meat and the only way to get it out was drag racing against the President of Tits.
Go wild and crazy! There are a lot of cool horns out there

I live in my own world, but that's okay- at least they known me here X3
I'd love to see your new artwork of course! I miss the 3rd Ed. version too.
In fact, your Dragonborn are the only ones I find actually look sexy! Alas, I couldn't capture that this time
I prefer the earlier versions of tieflings myself, but I'm glad you like her!
I actually miss the old tieflings from 2nd edition, who could have as many - or as few - fiendish traits as you wanted.

I believe this is a signature, if you believe that you have a signature as well copy and paste this.
Even without the body, you can probably tell the Dragonborn is female because of the eyes (they have that 'feminine' look to them).
Careful, though, you gave her Boobs!! Do you realize how that ticked off D&D fanboys when the first images of Dragonborn with breast-like bumps on her chest appeared (pages and PAGES of arguements on the subject ^_^).
Can't wait to see the finished version (if I had some way to 'feminize' my dragon prop, I would put a dragon-like head on my dragonborn model as well
Oh, BTW: hottie demon chicks are always nice
