Here's a work in progress before I head off on holiday for a week

Another go at the Forkrul Assail, with some ideas for the clothing inspired by Dolmen. Got details around the face, clothing and weapons and some background to add.

[Dolmen 2.0]

Wow smiley, really impressive I like how you rendered the swords and her facial expression is brilliant! though a bit creepy...

[QuickTidal]

Excellent rendition! One of the best interpretations of a character from the books so far!! The only exception I would make is the joints, I feel she shouold have more, but you got the face BANG ON as to how I imagined the one from under the rock in HOC though!! Love it!

I also really dug the Mappo one and the SECOND Karsa one is getting close to how I picture him. (As I also imagined the tattoo being a smashed window from center idea)

[Smiles]

Thanks for comments , I'll try some pencil sketches soon with more joints, just got to try to work out how the muscle and bone structure will work???

[Smiles]

Another go at Karsa and a Jaghut...

Ignore the bit of body, going to rework that, aim any crtis/comments at the head!


An idea of a Jaghut.

The art so far is amazing, Mappo is well done and so far I can't decide on any version of Icarium. And the last version of the Assail is just brilliant.

Though it would seem I'm the only one who thought Jaghut tusks resembled more those of an elephant, portruding like a continuation of the outer jaw line and not actually part of the mouth like teeth.

[Smiles]

I wasn't sure on how the tusks should look, but that does sound like a cool idea and would make them more distinct. Will have to have a go at that

[Illuyankas]

The tusks are described as affecting the speech of a Jaghut/Jhag - a few references to how people who speak Jaghut without the tusks sound different - so I think they are just larger teeth. Good idea though.

About the joints in the Assail thing. I've been thinking about that for a while and I think the wording ("appeared to have too many joints") implies not that the FA actually have more joints, but that they are set up a bit different than you or me. My thoughts are that the FA are digitigrade. This is probably due to my desire to see them as less humanoid though... I also imagine the Jaghut as being digitigrade come to think of it.

My theories tend to meet poorly when put up, but I wanted to present them nonetheless. Have fun tearing it apart .

[Smiles]

I've gone through the FA descriptions as much as a I can before drawing and there are a few things I can think of, off the top of my head.

It would seem they have an extra arm joint, as they can wrap a limb around weapons, from SE's description it goes further that what a human can achieve. This is in MT.

Some joints are reversible, the knee joints are described as such, again MT.

I know what you mean with them being digitigrade, I see them as stealthy and fast and tried to get that in the colour painting.

To me the Jaghut are almost the reverse, I think of them, as heavy boned brutally strong creatures, think of Raest. When fully armoured, such as Azath dwelling ones, they are huge looking. None of the stealth of a digitigrade.

Nothing to tear apart, it's good to discuss the creatures in detail. Wouldn't mind putting these in a Forkrul thread, when I get some new sketches finished.
