Troll Head

Quick sketch for a troll character. Off the top of my head, he reminds me of one of the guys from my RP sessions, who had a troll PC. Need to do more random character heads like these.

Notably, this is done from the eternally-frustrating scanner at my folks place. Stupid thing thinks I don't know anything about scanning and tried to correct my sketch all to hell, thinking it was some skewed photo or something. Wound up frustrated an hour later before I got it done.

Wereboar

Drawn during the same session as the full-body staff-uniform shot of Donovan below, this was another guidepost for setting up a character in this style. He's athletic, kinda rangy, with simplified fabric folds and a face design I'm quite happy with. (He's also got my little notes for spotting a were in-world, slightly pointed ears, minor fangs in the mouth, and notable body hair. (Admittedly, there could be more elsewhere, like the forearms, armpits, or chest, but I was working quick.

Donovan, last year's diagnostic

A descriptive sheet for the character. Emphasis here was on his distinguishing features, such as his scaled arms and legs, the tail, and the unique spike pattern on his face. Specifics which this failed to include were the borders between his human skin and his scale patches. His skin is generally caucasian-pink, except his forearms and shins where it segues into fine, dusky grey-black scales. His face has a slight red tone at the cheekbones and following the back corner of the jaw around the spikes, but his fully-scaled nose and eyebrows emerged straight from the pink flesh.

Werewolves

Werewolf character designs from way back. The younger guy on the right is one of the main characters for Nightmares, while the one on the left is a menacing but well-meaning pack leader. One of my favorite wolf drawings, the extended muzzle was a unique style I created from scratch. (Much of my style has been built up over the years taking inspiration from others. Not copying, but looking at their styles and referencing a line here or there, adding it to my repertoire.)

Donovan sketch, 'early' form

Originally an attempt to just do a simple comic-style character turnaround. Intended to be 'in the past', before he got huge and muscular, or grew the wings. Later, during my animation class, I found the slimmer design better suited for what I wanted to do, although I still plan on advancing the character to the previous larger, 'later' design in the series' future.

Original sketch for Donovan

Originally drawn 2004, as a roleplaying character. (Specifically, a half-red dragon ala D&D's 3rd edition, thus the specific stripes, horns, spikes, and so forth. The tail was just a personal preference, I like spades.)
