-:Riddles' Project:- Ethanria: Rise of the Immortals

[Riddles Three]

It is troubling times in the world of Ethanria. The demon queen Deldranna, a demonic goddess, now lives in this world. The long abandoned fortess of Coregarde once again glows with evil demonic magics, the Maul of Corruption now crawling with legions of demons and the corrupted. The queen of Zarangar, the elvin sorceress Lithea, has been corrupted and the Dagger Woods are now under Deldranna's control, the creatures of the once peaceful forest now vile, deformed, and vicious.

The Isle of Tranquil Storms has seen thunder and lightning for the first time in over five thousand years. Elves and toroks from Stormvale have left the isle for the first time in centuries to seek help from the outside lands, their queen, the Blue Dragon Broodmother Taerazana, has jioned the rest of the Dragon Brood Hierarchy in the Sanctuary of Dragonwood Vale to asses the looming threat.

The eight Immortals have not been heard from for thousands of years. Each one either in hiding or in exile, their identities hidden from everyone. Some serve as rulers, some as commoners, others wondering the world in self imposed exile. But the time has come for the Immortals to once again rise and save the world of Ethanria from eternal darkness.

[Riddles Three]

Edynol Crezlyn

Gender: Male
Race: Human (Immortal)
Age: Forgotten. Around 3,000+ years.

Class: Immortal (Poses as a ranger/demon hunter though.)

Hieght: 6'3"
Hair: Dark Brown
Eyes: Hazel green

Discription: He comes off as a simple man in his mid 20's, living off the land and offering his services as a ranger or demon hunter for little or no charge. He is often on the move, going to place all around the world, but mostly stays around the human kingdoms of southern Telanthria. He very mild tempered, kind to strangers, but does put up with bullies or trouble makers. He rides a black horse, named Jexus, though the horse is not what it seems. He usually wears a light brown shirt and brow trousers with a long, dark green hooded cloak lined with brown leather. His hair is thick and wavy and falls just below his shoulders. And though he is the Immortal of Darkness, he has a very light disposition, though he can be very grim when he wants too.

Bio: As most immortals, he was born as a regular child, not coming into his powers until he was young man, around the age of 15. Of course this varies with other races. After falling in love with a woman, who was 3/4 elf, 1/4 demon, he married her and was truely happy for a few months. But when his village discovered what she was, they executed her without even holding a trial. This filled Edynol with grief and rage and he slaughtered the whole village, which was the beginning of a 106 year reign of terror, which lead to the distruction of several kingdoms and societies. But one day, after recieving a vision from his dead wife, he stopped, exiling himself to the underworld where he would stay for over 2,000 years. Then after sensing a disturbance in the mortal world of Ethanria about 20 years ago, he returned. Now he is on a mission to to gather the other seven immortals, and any who wish to join, to put an end to this threat.
Ethanria.

Artist Notes:

- First sketch features silhouettes and initial posing. Decided to go with option two.

- Diffrent attempts at clothes. Used celtic and medieval clothing as inspiration. Sword is a celtic styled claymore used in the 14h-17h century. After deciding which one to go with. I'll quick sketch in face+hair and then continue to coloring.

- Basic colorwork done. Overall colors added. Next is shading and details.

-Final work. Overall happy with the shading.

Lucas Neravim

Gender: Male
Race: Demon/Human
Age: Unknown (Looks around 29)

Class: Spellblade

Known Spells: Elemental Bolt, Enchantment, Entangle, Teleportation, Haste, Healing and Silent Motion

Hieght: 5'7"
Hair: Short, Unkempt, Dark Brown
Eyes: Red

Discription: Lucas is usually seen with a black cloak on, long, dark grey trousers and a pair of leather boots. His wings are different; one grey, feathered wing and one once-wing that is now bone. His left arm is completely covered by a white wrap, down to the fingers. He wears a belt that normally holds a few pieces of equipment.

Bio: Lucas had been a wanderer for as long as he'd care to recall; only stopping at towns and cities for supplies and work. The only incidents he's had with adventurers is the occasional run-in with people who decided he was an easy target (and were quickly proven wrong,) and as such, his demonic nature has gone relatively unnoticed. Only recently did the current situation catch up to him. Despite being a demon, he is relatively benign, only going off the deep end if pushed far enough. He is thoroughly sarcastic, and has no qualms about making a snide comment if it feels justified or needed.

Artist Notes:

- 1, 2 and 3 are diffrent poses. Liked how the wings turned out in pose 1 and decided to use them again. Adjusted arm and head for pose 2.

- Different arm tryouts.

A.1: More or less a normal hand, except the fingers/nails are claw like.
A.2: Added wrap so you can see the spikes comming out from the arm more clearly.
A.3: Pretty much just an oversized arm. Could add clawlike fingers/nails.
A.4: 3 claws rather than fingers.

Have a few other ideas regarding the arm. But they are minor alterations of the ones I've already drawn.

- Had two ideas for clothing. Mainly focused on the cloak. 1. is made out of leather and 2. is made out of fabric.

- Trying something new. At the end there wont be any of the initial sketch lines left. So I'll have to define shapes using only color. Experimentation is comming along nicey.

- Repositioned the legs a bit. Drew some leathery bits. Added a mustache and a monocle for comic value (Will remove later)

Not sure if I'll keep the vest. We'll see.

[Riddles Three]

Lanella Tyren

Gender: Female
Race: Human
Age: 19

Class: Healer

Hieght: 5'8"
Hair: Very light brown, with natural highlights caused by exposure to the sun. Her hair is straight, and reaches the middle of her back when loose. She usually wears her hair in a loose bun, or wears it loose.
Eyes: Her eyes are a light bluish-green color, ringed in plain blue.

Discription: Lanella's skin is tanned from sunlight, as she is a traveller. She has a rather athletic build, but she's thin and can appear weaker than she is. She finds that in her travelling lifestyle, dresses and petty accessories are pointless, and so dresses in plan shirts, trousers, and boots. She favors deep green shirts, brown trousers, and a pair of comfortable black boots that lace up to her knees. She has a black woolen cloak that she only wears when its cold, and a brown messenger bag in which she keeps her few belongings.

Bio: Lanella grew up in Ethrangarde, but left when she was still young. From the age of 14, Lanella's been travelling on her own, picking up knew knowledge but mostly just enjoying a life of general solitude. However, she is very friendly, and has a few friends in most of the towns and cities of Telanthria; at least, those towns and cities which welcome humans. Because travelling on your own (especially as a woman) can be dangerous, she has learned how to defend herself, and is especially adept at hand to hand combat. She keeps two fighting daggers on her person at all times, and isn't afraid to use them. However, she's also a healer. She's keeps various helpful plants and herbs with her at all times, but also learned some of the healing magics when she travelled to Aradon. She also keeps on her, in a hidden pouch, a powdered poison, which makes one's skin burn on contact. Because it is difficult to control, Lanella only uses it in emergencies, and only when she has her pair of thick leather gloves on. She continues to travel, without much of a destination in mind, but has recently begun to pick up an interest in the whisperings of the Demon Queen trying to gain more power, and in the movements to stop her.

Zackereth Hilttail

Gender: Male
Race: Half-Elf
Age: 23

Class: Thief/trapmaster

Hieght: 6'5"
Hair: black
Eyes: Silver

Discription: Zack wears thief like attire and can be a bit over welming with many traits of Silliness and foolish like fun. But in battle and within the lengths of a plan of action he is quite serious with his work. He bares a Scar down his left eye from a Trap accident and too many scars to count on his back and belly area from Practicing and actual battle.

Bio: Zack was born in the woods of Dalrem. Raised by his poor family he always sneaked into towns late at night and steal valuables or most importantly food. He was trained well by his father in the art of trap making and knowing where to set the traps he made and also how to disarm them for safety reasons. His father and mother died years later In a hunting accident. After living alone in the woods he decided to travel off years later at the age of 22.

Setsa

Gender: Female
Race: Elf
Age: 132 [looks to be in mid 20’s]

Class: Healer {druid)

Height: 5’6’’
Hair: Dark red hair
Eyes: Deep hazel

Description: At most times seen in red, silk-like materials of a halter top style high on her torso and hip hugging skirt, calf length with slits on each side of legs to her mid thighs which made it easier to move in a quicker pace through the trees when with the scouts. Setsa’s long red hair running to the small of her back was usually only partially pulled back enough to keep out of her hazel brown/green eyes…more of a deep sea green when in best of emotions, dark brown when more angered. At most times a smile upon her lips and life in her steps.

Bio: Native to Eversong; Setsa was born with the gift of healing along with a rare gift to see what lies beyond what she can see with her own eyes. Such has gotten her in trouble with others as she was able to see the truth of what happens past their sacred Eversong. No one would believe her since she was a youngling about the dangers or potential troubles only concluding it as the wild imagination of an active youngling. Those thoughts continued through to her present time as the Elders always kept her busy healing those in need or accompanying the scouting groups. Rather than wanting to listen to what she had to say about the outside lands as with each passing year the elves grew more naïve. Appreciated more for beauty than brains Setsa truly shined past her gifts during festivals; as her dances and enchanting voice was whispered to “calm even the most savage beast.”

Jai

Gender: Male
Race: Grey Dragon
Age: Unknown, looks about 19 in his human appearence

Class: Hunter

Hieght: 5'6" in his human appearence
Hair: Pale shiney silver
Eyes: A nearly translucent pale color with dark lavender pupils

Discription: Jai looks rather frail and is quite thin and unthreatening in his human appearence. This couldnt be less true. His dragon appearence is that of a pale grey dragon with lavender eyes. He isnt an overly large dragon, only about 15 feet tall, but he is a fast and acrobatic flyer with extreme control over his win
and air abilities. A light weight as far as dragons go he has learned quite a few defensive abilities along with attack, but all of his abilities are wind based.

Bio: Jai grew up in Dragonwood Vale. It was a peaceful childhood but eventually Jai grew restless and decided he wanted to travel. Leaving the safety of the uncorrupted land he called home he flew deciding that the first place he would like to visit was The Great Tree Teldrinel. His adventure was cut short as a band of demons brought him down over the Maul of Corruption. He was tortured for a time, but one day a demon actually set him free. Jai fled back to Dragonwood Vale and spent a long time recovering from his ordeal. He realized though that corruption has no bounds. All races could be corrupted, he had seen others fall to demons tortures, and even demons could fight their corruption, as was proven by the demon who actually set him free. Jai decided he would fight for justice for everyone and left the safety of the vale a wiser dragon. He began to travel as a hunter, dispatching all who were truely corrupted, not just demons. Recently he has heard rumor of the immortals trying to band together to fight some new threat. It interested him and Jai has decided to try and find the immortals and join their cause if they will have him. Sadly, this latest quest has been hampered by the fact that he doesnt know who the immortals are.

Very nice! I like it so far. I look forward to seeing your work. Though if ya want, you can leave Lix Tetrax, Umbra, and Syth out since they stopped posting a while back.

[Riddles Three]

Didn't read that far into it. I'll add them anyhow.

[Pidge]

I just now spotted this...Who came up with the idea? This is going to be so super cool lol cant wait to see what you do!! :D

[Mattie2009]

This is awesome. You are awesome. All is bright in the world because this thread exists.

Totally linking this =D

[Riddles Three]

Update: Edynol Crezlyn (http://role-player.net/forum/showpost.php?p=649018&postcount=2) got some sketchwork done.

@Pidge: Our very own Kris came out with the idea. And together with the other artists in the Practice Thread. We perfected it and started it.

@Matt: Kind words indeed good sir. Thank you. Thank you.

@Kris: You go and do that!

[SQJPure]

Dude you most definately have the most anticipated art sets of all of us! Glad to see that you still never dissapoint. ^_^

[Jinxed]

So... I really like the idea behind this. Everything looks great so far!

[Riddles Three]

Another Update (http://role-player.net/forum/showpost.php?p=649018&postcount=2) - Finished basic coloring. Gonna take a short break and then dive head on into shading and detailing.

@SQJ: Thanks bro. Good to know when people look forward to my work.

@Jinxed: Oh but it will get much better! :3

I think the picture Mattie posted sums up my response pretty well. I wasn't exactly sure what you were going to do with this thread, but after seeing the sketches, I think it's a good idea that you are making personalized sketches for the characters ^^

I'm pretty sure my fiance's character is Syth, but I'd have to go, and look for the character sheet :lol: and I feel a little bit lazy.

Also, I liked some of your sketches so much that I rep'd you ^^ Sorry that it's only 2 extra points.

[Riddles Three]

Meh!

So my computer suddenly realized it had always wanted to be a lumb of metal. And thus decided to die. Found the problem and got some parts replaced. Had to format it afterwards though. Luckily I save all my drawings onto usb drives and the like.
I'll start drawing stuff again once I've installed all my stuff again.

Computers are silly things.

[Riddles Three]

And life returns as the FINAL Update (http://role-player.net/forum/showpost.php?p=649018&postcount=2) for Edynol get's uploaded! *applause*

Overall happy with the outcome. I'll try something a little difrrent from what I usually do for the next piece. Which will be Lucas Neravim!

Also looks like you've update your player rooster. I'll edit the old characters out so we can have the newcommoners in here!

Riddles. Riddles?
-yes-

[Riddles Three]

Sorry I haven't been around for a while now. I've just been discharged from the hospital after an accident.

I was helping a friend move. When we we're moving his couch I lost balance and fell down the stairs, and the couch landed on me. Broke my right leg, 2 ribs and injured my right hand. Had to stay in the hospital for a while for surgery.

I wont be avaliabe for a while. I'll be staying at my parent house atleast until I can move my hand again. (Only a minor injury there) - Just dropping off this message while I'm getting some stuff from my apartment.

Later

[Jinxed]

Those are pretty cool Riddles! Hope you're recovering well (:

[Riddles Three]

Seems like it's time for another Update (http://role-player.net/forum/showpost.php?p=649019&postcount=3)!

Alot of stuff has happened to Lucas. I've decided to try something new. Usually when I draw stuff, the final piece will still contain the sketch lines. This wont happen to Lucas however. I've decided to try and only use color to define the shapes. We'll see if it works or doesn't at the end.
The process takes alot longer though. So might cut down on the detail whoring on later pieces. We'll see.

[Riddles Three]

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No ladies and gentlemen. It's an Update (http://role-player.net/forum/showpost.php?p=649019&postcount=3)!
