Sorry I’ve been gone for so long without ANY updates! I got really sick, and then that got EXCITING. I’m starting to get better now, so here is a character I’ve been working on to help me get back into the swing of things. Please welcome The Dragon’s Inquisitor, Riede of the High Holy Church of Ariandas.
The Dragon’s Inquisitors are viewed as Ariandas’ greatest teachers and protectors, and as such Riede’s job is to help maintain the doctrinal purity of the High Holy Church throughout Ariandas through ensuring the proper maintenance and teaching of historical and sacred records as well as through service to the people wherever she may be assigned. Most recently Inquisitor Riede has been called by the royal family of Ariandas themselves to be their representative in the World Council of Geoden, a gathering of heroes and leaders from every great nation meant to deal with a growing threat to the very world itself.
So, a friend of mine is getting ready to run a campaign, and as part of that she asked each of her players to create a nation with a history and then send a representative of that nation as our player character. I may have gone a tad overboard, but without even playing her Riede has become one of my favorite characters I’ve created so far. I’ve really gotten into her nation’s history, mythology, religion, and even their musical traditions to a point. It’s been especially fun to look at her design and think, “Why yes, I HAVE played X a lot recently, haven’t I!” See if you can guess what game that is based on her armor and dagger; I don’t think I was very subtle, but maybe it’s inadvertently close to something other than what I intended, hahaha. I’ve wanted to do a multi-stage design image for a long time, and this seemed like the perfect time for that exercise. I hope you guys enjoy, as always please reblog, don’t repost, and keep on keepin’ on! I hope to keep up the energy enough to post more works soon, including another Pokemon poster, some new character designs, and maybe something for Journey. We shall see.
