A Preview of my Project

Thank you.  I hope I can live up to expectations regarding the medusa.  As for the bulezau, I selected him because not only are bulezau rather unusual as characters, but the potential to make him different from other bulezau is much greater.

 The heights in the picture are roughly accurate, though I must clarify a few discrepancies. 

K'zink really is that short and is full-grown.  He is approximately in his 40s, which I believe is the genasi equivalent of about 20.  For the purposes of his character development I am taking information on ice genasi from The Roaming Genasi Tavern Website.  Scroll down to click on "Children of the Glacier" to see what is suggested there.

I intend for Qul and Ianthe to be roughly the same height from top of the skull to base of the feet.  Qul's crest makes him taller, but without, he and the medusa would be close.

Lasc will potentially be a bit taller once he has feet.  I ran out of paper in my sketchbook and I have little love for digital sketching.

Background and information for the second character.

Ianthe, the blindfolded medusa oracle.

You'll need to be able to log in to see it because it's marked mature for exposed breasts. If you can't log in but want to see anyway, let me know and I'll put up an alternate link.

Here is the alternate link.  Again, "Not Safe For Work" warning because of exposed breasts.

Thank you! Two more to go, but they will probably have to wait until I finish my final paper :-/

 She is one of my favorites, too, though she was one of the hardest to both develop and incorporate into the story.  I am trying to convey a sense to readers that she is running and hiding, even if this will not be apparent to the characters. Now that I have a good sense of who she is and where she comes from, I am having difficulty raising the "interesting" level of a couple of other characters -- especially K'zink and a little bit with Qul.  Lasc is fairly straightforward on the surface (a fiend struggling to rise), but I think when his background is revealed, it will put him well into the "interesting" category.

I'm trying to make each character different, still interesting, and give them stories that can be woven into Qul's main plot (which will be addressed when I complete his profile later -- he's next on the list).  They all fill assorted roles and tropes that are mostly different from each other.  Some of these are apparent right away.

Qul is the Main Character, Boy of Destiny, and Clueless Newbie.

K'zink is the Tout, the Chant-Broker, and the Wanderer with a sort of Tiefling Past (in that he doesn't even know what it is since it predates him).

Ianthe is a subversion of the Blind Seer.

Lasc has his own background that I am actually very pleased with.  Otherwise, he's a Rising Fiend with a Heart of Gold. 

 The difficult part is weaving all that together and still maintaining the story

This is the sketch page 6 of my comic, but it has a sort of panoramic view of the Ssilirian city where Qul lives, so you can get a rough idea of what Ssilirian architecture and cities are like.  The large building dominating the foreground is a temple.  Ssilirian tradition/law prohibits any building in the city from being taller than the city's main temple.  All temples also have 6 tiers, one for each of their major gods.

Since the cities are usually built on water, they use the water as natural roadways.  Thus, the space between the "blocks" is actually water, not land. 

Hm, I can't embed the image using dA's little thing so here is a new picture to show off.
