Seems the Baldur's Gate series doesn't get a lot of attention/credit/whatevah in CoN, but as I've mentioned more than once here, it's my favorite video game series, and I finally got around to doing some fanart for it smile.gif .

So to start off, here's Bodhi, a powerful vampire and one of the main villains of the series.

Down below is the first drawing I tried of her. I grew disinterested with the ho-hum standing pose, though, so I didn't bother finishing it and moved on to the image above, instead. I guess this one has its merits, too, though.

Shading looks really good in this one. Everything seems nice and smooth. I think the blood is excellently done. I think her right hand might be smaller than her left. Not sure. Maybe its just the angle.

I'm not familiar with this char, since I've only played one Baldur's Gate game briefly. And I don't think she was in it.

And it was probably Dark Alliance, too, wasn't it tongue.gif ?

To clarify(for anyone who cares, that is), Bodhi was in the computer RPG series, the REAL Baldur's Gate (as far as I'm concerned, at least). More specifically, she was in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn ( heart.gif ).

As for the hand, yeah, I attempted an angled shot on the "smaller" hand, but, honestly, I wasn't too sure how to pull it off, so, meh...

(Meh, why not...)

This is Jon Irenicus, the main villain from Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. I drew him up for a fanart challenge in another forum I freqent. Fun.

For the last fanart challenge, we were to portray characters as drow elves (at some point in Baldur's Gate II, the characters are put under an illusion spell to appear as such). I decided to portray all the womenz, even though Viconia is already a drow elf. I post this cuz I believe this to be one of my better coloring efforts, despite some flaws (black lining where a lighter shade would have sufficed, two figures looking lighter than the rest, etc.)

Here are the portraits of most of the playable NPCs in the game. Below is my entry into that challenge. I leave you to decide who's who in my drawing. I think I made it fairly obvious wink.gif .

...I've been doing quite a bit of fanart lately. I really need to start exploring some ideas of my own tongue.gif .

Edit: Yeeaah, no one here needs to see this abomination again. Thank you, maskhaer, for the needless bump tongue.gif .

Every one of those women seem very creepy to me. Very. Are drow elves naturally that way? I wouldn't know.

I do agree that the coloring if very well done. Love the subtle blue on white for the hair. There are little bits on all of them that are very well detailed and colored. The leather on the bottom right, the lips, the hair braids.

Awesome. Creepy. But awesome.

Lol, creepy. Wasn't quite my intention, but ok happy.gif .

To be honest, I took a bit of liberty with my depiction of Drow elves here, particularly with the skin color. Drow skin is, officially speaking, coal/jet/completely black, but for my drawings I used varying shades of gray with a touch of brown, which I kind of regret now. Ah well, gotta move on...

to a new entry into the thread! Up til now, I've been drawing characters originally in the games. This time around, I drew Fade, a mod NPC created by who I consider a wonderful artist known as Mistress Elysia.

Edit
Oops, heh, wrong image.
