We Need More!

OK, we're (extremely slowly) wrapping this project up, and we'll probably throw in the creatures from the Energy and Quasielemental planes into the same document. Of course, it'd be nice to have some of these illustrated as well... Any takers?

Appearances, summarized:

Darklight: (PSMC 3)
This humanoid-shaped specter of blackness has bright, shining eyes of ever-changing colors, and its dark inner form is surrounded by a nimbus of multicolored light.

Egarus: (PSMC 3)
Egarus is a type of an abyssal fungus brought to the Prime Material and other planes by a clueless planewalker returning home with some fungus sticking to his boots.

Energomental, Negative: (Dragon Magazine #???)
The vaguely humanoid sheet of ebony flame moves with agility and determination. As it comes within range, you find that your life force is being drained slowly, even before the creature raised a fist.

Facet: (PSMC 3)
You see a 5-ft. tall, nearly featureless humanoid seemingly drawn of angular lines and composed entirely of salt crystals.
Facets are multiple creatures of salt guided by a single intelligence. The race is essentially a single organism with many detachable appendages.

Klyndes: (PSMC 3)
Wispy darkness, shadow of steam, something between air and water… four claws extend and slowly reach for you.
Existing between air and water, the klyndesi are the only native predators haunting Quasielemental Steam. Each specimen is completely isolated from others of its kind, oblivious to their existences and each believing itself to be unique.

Scile: (PSMC 3)
Tiny motes of light are flashing before your eyes. As you move, they follow and suddenly engulf you, turning you invisible.
A scile, also called an incandescent, is a little glowing mote of light that consumes color.

Tsnng: (PSMC 3)
This thin humanoid appears to be made entirely of purple-blue crystal. It is tall and spindly, with a long, narrow head and a tiny mouth. The multifaceted surface of its body is shining and sparkling with a plethora of colors.
The tsnng (name unpronounceable by non-tsnng) are a race of “anthropomorphic gemstones” native to the Elemental Plane of Mineral, the border area between Elemental Earth and Positive Energy. Reclusive, arrogant, and genderless, they claim to be the oldest race in creation. The fact that they are actually immortal beings, never dying of natural causes, seems to support this outrageous claim.

Vacuous: (PSMC 3)
This 5-ft. tall humanoid has a large head, beady black eyes, and eggshell-white skin covered in tiny cracks. Its short arms end in long black talons. The creature’s most significant feature is its huge, gaping mouth. As you look into the gigantic maw, you see more then just darkness – you see the absolute Void.

Wavefire: (PSMC 3)
A wave of boiling water soars across the clouds of mists, dripping hot rain down on you.
A wavefire is a boiling wave of elemental water that “swims” through the plane of steam. A controversial theory holds that the wavefire is a living relic from an ancient time when the elemental planes were configured differently.

Okay, if I can get my scanner back (lending out hardware isn't always such a great idee as it seems) I wil do the Tsnng and the Vacuous.

Wat size are the Tsnng? Medium, Large?

The tsnng are Medium, with decent Dex, average Str/Con, and high Int.

Here's the 2E picture:

Facet:

And here is what I imagine a Vacuous to look like from your description.

The facet is great, but the vacuous ... I don't know, too civilized, too humanoid, too comical. That description isn't all that much, I guess. Here's the 2E illustration:

Now, that's what I call a pikin' Vacuous!

Love the shading on the eyes.

The first tsnng is too stick-like (as in thin). I'd go for the 2nd one. The pdf should be released by next week... Any last pictures to add?

Which creature are you doing? By the way, black-white is also okay, if you have no time to color. And I'd need your real name for credit. (E-mail me at [REDACTED])

If there are any other pics in processing, please let me know.

We need some mephits, too, and quickly! Eye-wink

Specifically: 1) ash, 2) lightning, 3) mineral, 4) mist, 5) radiance, and 6) smoke mephits. Descriptions below.

Now get to work, ye scurvy dogs! *cracks whip*

-----------

1) This mephit has powdery gray skin and wings. It has a nasal whining voice and no ears.

2) The wingless lightning mephits have torsos and limbs composed of thin black lightning bolts. Their heads smell like ozone and glows with a permanent light.

3) This thickly-built mephit has rigid, metallic wings. Its body glitters with ground mica.

4) This pale green mephit is shrouded in mists.

5) Radiant mephits are dazed, distracted individuals with reflective silvery bodies and prismatic wings. They have wide mouths and expressionless faces, except during their fits of crazed giggling.

6) This small, winged, shadowy creature has more or less humanoid features. While there is something decidedly impish in that grin, the being’s elemental nature is apparent.

I've actually got inked sketches for all but the tssng and facet, since those were picked up pretty quick Smiling
I'm sharpening my prismacolors (I got one of those huge sets...and never used them) whish is taking far longer than expected, but once they're good, i'll be coloring like a fiend...and that's pretty quick Eye-wink

I can also get some sketches done for the mephits by the end of the weekend, possibly colored (i might enlist the help of my roomates since i have like 70 more pencils to go and my hand is all cramped up ;D)

Alrighty, so I just finished coloring the Egarus, just have to do the final inking, and I should have everything done by tuesday (I'll scratch out some mephits Laughing out loud) I've got a sketch for a vacuous, darklight and scile and I can do wavefire and the klyndes, but I think those would be better left to the tablet-ers Laughing out loud

Ok, let me know when you have posted your last pic. I'd need a day or two to redo the layout to accomodate the new pics.

I love the Egarus and Scile. The klyndes is nicely alien and inscrutible.

The smudge tool is fun, isn't it?
