Shino Strikes Back

Post by Shinobody »

After a aeon long ten year slumber... I awake.

Hi, I used to be an active member, then I fell off... But now I'm back!
Link to my old cringe teenage thread: viewtopic.php?t=34416

So first thing of order: I noticed that Dark Sorcerer still doesn't have a unique portrait, so I decided to give it a go! Even if I can't match the style, worst case scenario it will be a portfolio piece.
Early sketch WIP:
Spoiler:
The idea is that it would be a half-step between Adept and the current Necromancer portrait - so the hair would be beginning to gray (especially at the roots) and grow longer, dude has a staff, but it's still a simple gnarly wooden staff with some rune trinkets and a rat skull, and he's beginning to get kind of gaunt and skeletal.

One thing I need to find good reference for is for how loose cloth hangs on skinny/gaunt people. Right now it is a bit hard for me to fully conceptualize, which is pretty visible on arms, they look too tight.

Obviously all feedback welcome, positive or critical, especially since the intent is to hopefully be viable for an official contribution.
