If anybody would like, it would be good to get ideas, sketches, crits and comments in one place, so starting thread to do just that. So please add stuff!

Sketch of an Imass warrior

[Puck]

The face looks really cool, scary. The sword is good, too, you can see, that it's made out of stone
But I imagined the T'lan Imass a bit more skeleton-like and not with such a huge mane

[Smiles]

The descriptions are a bit mixed as they suggest chopped up wood hard flesh in many cases. Will post up some descriptions to go along with the thread. Well, with the mane I was going for a certain look...

Will go for some helmed versions soon!

[Svaran]

Excellent pic, just a query though aren't the T'lan Imass a shorty stocky race.

[Smiles]

He's emerging from dust, looming up, could define that more I guess

Thanks for comment, will do detailed stuff soon.

More imagery they remind me of - the CGI Mummy from The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, the only good part of those films. Just with a tad more flesh and a tad less dessication.

I really should start drawing again... Damned exams.

[Smiles]

Those are damn good mummies, as mummies go. Draw and post... the more ideas the better.

I imagine them to look somehow like Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie ...

Hmmm... could be, but perhaps a bit less skeletal?

[Smiles]

Reading MoI at the mo and I get the impression they vary from skeletons with bits of flesh, muscle and tendon to mainly hard flesh and muscle, with bone showing through in places...

There are refs to bone marks when tracking them, I'd guess they started off looking normal and now it depends on how worn, chopped up etc. they are. IIRC in tBH they look normal to each other, while still under the influence of the Tellan ritual.

Brilliant sketch.

But tell me - how would you draw a bargast? I think in MOI they mention it. goes something like this - 'have you ever seen a bargast corpse'
'Yes' (or something like that.
'Have you ever seen a Bargast corpse animate?'

I think it's like that. I'd say you could kill two birds with one stone and draw a bargast, then draw him dead in animal skins!!!

I think!

Bit of a thing there, they resemble the Imass (skeletal structure), but are bigger through their Toblaki blood. Humbral Taur is described as huge.

Would like to get time to draw a comparison line up...

[The Crazy Mob]

About the first guy, I always felt that the T'lan Imass were more Neanderthalic appearance, thicker face and blocky.

[Dolmen 2.0]

I like the desscated face and the flint sword. In characters like t'ool and Onrack I'd imagine the limbs to "barely" hold together. bones with strips and chunks. Think of the parts of your bod you protect the most with a weapon and render those with more flesh than the thighs shoulders and forearms which tend to get damaged more than anything else.

Just an idea...
