Jacula's Design And Character Concepts
« on: January 27, 2012, 07:39:02 am »

I've been entertaining the idea of somehow taking part in Planeshift anew for a while, making use of the motivation derived from the same to play around a bit in Photoshop.

Having given some thought to what type of character I'd like to play I decided to depict him accordingly, if only to give myself a sense of how his traits might intermingle with his personality and general alignment. I thought I'd post it here, seeing as people might appreciate it, this as I tried to adhere to the settings known in the game.
Said character can be found below, being that of a male ynnwn. I'll look to update the thread with whatever concepts might follow.

I've added a few past designs I no particular order, this being as all of them are role-play oriented. I find it beneficial to look back on past pieces to improve, and hopefully you'll find them interesting as well.
▲ A guild logo for The Hand of Vengeance.

▲ A header for an event I ran a while ago in a different game.

▲ Another event header concept.

▲ Another concept variation, for a guild thread if I recall correctly.

▲ A scene from the event "Sins of the Father", depicting my character Lucan Kerr.

▲ Lucan Kerr, character concept selection.

▲ Same of the latter.

▲ Lucan Kerr in the study of warlockery.

▲ A depiction of my wow characters, Daruthan Runestrider.

▲ A commission, depicting a Forsaken plague engineer.

▲ My take on the ever so lovely, Mellas Fenixxes.

▲ An event header, to the benefit of a fellow GM.

▲ My attempt upon a Klyros. Quick sketch.

▲ A Diaboli concept.

▲ A rogue concept. Dedicated to The Outlaws.

My thanks for the comments. I added an overview of the details for the sake of clarity.

It is indeed an attempt of such.

 ;D I was thinking more along the lines of what the player is known for than along the lines of aesthetic appeal owed the actual character design.

Nothing implies that the character in question would be evil.  ;)

Again, my thanks for the kind words. I've updated the first post with a few designs of old, as well as altered the general context of the thread somewhat.
