Fanfare! Character art.

[Jake E]

A friend of mine is just starting out as an artist and has drawn some of the characters from my book.
What do you think?

Not bad.... not bad at all!

He's done me two more.

I'm really chuffed with these.

I've been missing a lot lately, and just saw these. I like Derrick, Bernard and...is that Dirk flipping the coin ?

However, I don't like Kelthi. Even with the midriff, she looks more like a guy. Maybe round out her nose and face a skosh. Narrowing her shoulders somewhat could also help.

I feel the composition is also a bit off. I know the battleaxe is on her back. However, the collar of her vest (or is it a scabbard?) is in line with the axe handle. It creates the illusion that her axe is strapped to her chest. Consider moving the collar/scabbard to the other side so it's perpendicular to the axe handle, instead.

I didn't recognise that one as a girl at all.

Yeah... that's deliberate

Yeah... that's deliberate

I'm surprised at this. The artwork could introduce a spoiler about her origin.

Perhaps just as important...is this what Kelthi would want to see in a mirror?

Like I said, he's just starting out, so there's not much there yet.
He mostly does art for Dungeons and Dragons counters and players who want a picture of their character.
