Yay, this means we can see progress? Maybe?

Indeedy. Finished moving. Should have my laptop and scanner set up tonight after work. *happy dance* I can then scan stuff. I have a loose start on Drefast. It may be bad or good, I dunno. But need feedback in a major way.

Started a little doodle on Elven Armor Ideas, super not so secret now project for Olan.

And the bardy dwarf. I dunno why..but he appeared from my pencil.

Olan asked for some elven armor. But not just any armor. BAD ASS elf armor. The kind of elves you do not want to mess with.

First up, a take on elements. I have some ideas of armor based around elemental magics. Here is Fire. Just a first pass.

Elven Fire, first pass
The second is weathered warriors. They have entered some of the most terrible of lands, fought magics beyond our reckoning. Honor guards when they are at home. Scions of the unimaginable when abroad. Their armor is banded loops and lengths of metal scored and infused with magics of the elf elves. The armor itself had undergone some of the most devastating spells to strength and test it for protecting these souls.

Elven Rune-banded with Living Root sword, first pass
The sword is called The Living Root. These swords are carved from the roots of the king's trees. A high honor for the most esteemed warriors. When the warrior dies, they are laid to rest in key places in the elven realms. The sword alone marks their resting place. If ever the planted sword grows, then it is the god's will the soul of the warrior protects the land even in death, becoming part of the world.

Drefast!
City of wonder, known for incredible bridges that span the gorge and deep waters below. The higher along the cliffs, the richer the occupants. Fishing slums rest along the banks below. Galleons can travel the incredibly deep rivers, passing with ease under the high bridges. Flags larger than any in creation hang from the bridges informing of weather, port conditions, commerce, season, and more for the captains. In tales past, some of these flags were used as early warnings for invasions.

The bridges and some of the greatest buildings are the remains of ancient architecture. Of a past long forgotten.

I hope this first pass does it justice.

Drefast, first pass (smaller size)

Drefast bigger, first pass (zoomed size)

And for fun...a khord bard, three braids means he's a big deal. *nods nods* Still in progress.

Khord Bard, first pass

Bumpin for Olan to check stuffs.

thanks for the bump... I am far from being caught up yet.

Loving the art! I had never through tof elements for the armor, just... "alien, not human" was a concept in my mind. I'm really liking where you are going with this.

Drefast looks like it will be gorgeous. The bridges are something else... I like how the look more fragile than I had imagined them to look. Always so cool to get an artist involved!

Dwarf is excellent stuff, I'm sure that you knew that.

Can't wait to see where this all leads!
