[Dolmen 2.0]

Dassem, Cowl, Kallor, Skinner. I did these sketches a while back
and while working on a few digital things thought I'd post
the RAWS here.

Hope the ideas are on the right track:

they look great, but i don't remember the descriptions of the 4 mentioned.
kallor is old and white.
dassem is black i think.

I think Cowl looks amazing. Skinner looks great, too. Kallor also looks awesome, but doesn't quite look like Kallor to me. Dassem's good, too, but I like the other three better.

[weaverbird05]

Dassem and Cowl = win! Kallor and Skinner are both good as well, but just don't seem to click with me quite as much as the first 2. Fantastic work, though!!

[Sinisdar Toste]

they all look great! only thing is that kallor doesn't wear plate, he wears that long chain mail coat that reaches his knees, and swings a bastard sword

[Dolmen 2.0]

thanks for the above responses everybody .

I really didn't feel great about kallor myself. His a wiley character that
I can never sketch properly facially. He always looks like my mental image of
san tzu =/ I have no idea why. You guys are spot on here, I'll have to rework
him.

Dassem I always try to draw as quite ethnic. I tried to give him a lil bit more
mix about his features since, I think, him being half talian makes him somewhat afro/asian
or afro/european looking at the very least? it might show better after shading.

Cowl was a surprise favourite of the set. I drew him without a single edit and
that for me is VERY rare.

Skinner ofcourse is skinner. his a continuation of the skinner sketch series

that has to be saved for an out of context quote

but the pictures look great

[Harvester]

The characters look awesome, but Kallor's and Skinner's swords are too fantasy-ish for my tastes.

[Aptorian]

Yeah, all the swords seem a bit melo-dramatic.

Kallors sword for example I imagine is just an unadorned, old looking long sword. Practical, meant for killing in droves, not for show.

[Harvester]

I thought it looked something like this, but old, maybe a bit broader, stained with old blood and notched in many places.

[Findarato]

I imagine Kallor's sword to be more viking style, means broad and relatively blunt at the tip. Not that pointy.

I like the picture of cowl best, matching most the way I imagine him.

[Silencer]

Cowl > Dassem > Skinner > Kallor, I think, in terms of accuracy. Definitely think that the last two swords could have been less fantasy - I think they're also artificially stunted in proportion to the height of the people wielding them as you've drawn it.

But great sketches! These are freaking awesome!

[maro]

I agree on the swords- long! Armoured guys like Skinner and Kallor would have wielded Greatswords - very long with a 40 inch blade.

[Grimjust Bearegular]

I do like your style, Dolmen!

My favourite is Dassem,I think. Kallor would look better sitting on a throne, all arrogant and such:)

[dktorode]

Very good

only... He-Man swords?

[Dolmen 2.0]

Hehe ok I get the hint, he-man swords are out this year

thanks for all the comments and glad to know I got atleast two of
the four relatively on the money

[TheSurvivor]

I felt I should make a mention on SKinner. I'll leave out the sword since everyone's already pointed that out but Skinner's been described as a walking suit of armour by RotCG so I don't think he would have the lose leggings. Maybe I'm forgetting a quote that was directed at his legs but I'm pretty sure he was plate armour from head to toe. On that note he did have a full helm that hid all expression including eyes. Great job with the pictures though, I thought you got Dassem's body type spot on and Cowl certainly had a veil of mystery. Ha, did you get it? I know, I'm aweful.
