Katla Arneson
Description provided by the commissioner:
Behind-the-scenes info:
This is a female half-elf, approximately 32 years of age (mid-20s human equivalent, I think).
The system she’s built on is Wizard of the Coast’s d20 (3.5) edition.
Her character build is currently Monk4/Wizard1, emphasis on close-combat.
Recently (and this is not included in the information below) she’s acquired a tree-climbing variety of cat as a familiar.
It’s basically the same as a small cat, but with a bushy tail sorta like a brush-tail possum or squirrel.
Her description as I put it up:
Standing just under 5'5, Katla Arneson is a half-elven woman of thirty-three years. She has her elven father’s gold-flecked blue eyes. Her long hair has a bit too much brown in it to match her her mother's rich, Sunite-red shade. Katla keeps her hair under control in a tight braid; exposed hair in a forge is a very bad thing for a woman, regardless of what a dwarf will tell you about how many times he's singed his beard. The pulled-back hair exposes her pointed ears for anyone who wants to double-check her bloodline.
Her face is pretty in a plain kind of way. Katla has no obvious facial flaws, but is no striking beauty like her mother. Her body, too, reflects the same. While she’s properly proportioned and in very fit condition, her build is not close enough to the slender look that most (or many) prefer.
Katla's physique is somewhat short and stocky for her race. Time spent before a forge has toughened her muscles, yet her muscles are layered in compact, modest (dare I say, feminine?) packets instead of showing overtly. Palm, knuckles and edge of her hands are calloused from time spent at the forge and more time spent practicing the unarmed attack forms.
Now that the weather has improved, she wears a simple sleeveless close-fitting robe in the warm colors of her order: a not-quite-bright yellow edged in orange. Falling just to knee-length, a sturdy leather belt cinches it at the waist on which she also hangs her spell component pouches and (while she's working) tools. Just over her heart, the symbol of a trio of deities - Selune, Sune and Lathander - are embroidered, with Selune's Stars-around-eyes closest to the right, Sune's flame-haired woman next to it on the left, and Lathander's sunburst below them.
Also at her belt is a small pouch full of razor-edged shuriken and what looks to be a smaller version of a scythe. The kama's blade shows its craftsmanship, with fold-ripples in a crescent pattern and a slight bluish hue to the metal.
Katla also wears a pair of newly-created silver bracelets. Made of beaten metal, the pair of simple ornaments were brushed down until they almost glow with a nice silvery shine. Very apt for a Selunite.
Well.
Being used to the standard anime style (slender girls and guys with little sign of muscle development, huge eyes, etc. etc.), this was quite a challenge for me. @__@;;
But it was still a great learning experience for me.
It told me exactly what I needed to work on, lol.
Really though, this was something completely new to me.
I really should try drawing with more variety.
...I still don't know what this game is though... mwa... >_>;;
I also made a version with a background for the commissioner, in addition to this white bg version.
