A fullbody portrait of the character Alek Gwilym, from the novel I, Strahd. His is a human soldier, with pale skin and blond hair. His face has a number of scars. The armor he wears is half plate, over leather. A tattered blue cape is fastened to his left shoulder.

Expanding on my drawn D&D miniature collection, here's Alek Gwilym, my favorite I, Strahd character, someone who I will not need as a mini for quite a while.

Notes:

Along with needing D&D miniatures, this project is a way for me to push my character and outfit designs, to make more unique characters and armor sets. In this case, I decided to practice half plate.

Most of the small details on these designs won't show up on the final miniature, hence why the von Zarovich crest is rather simple. Once printed out, the thinner lines will disappear, rather than leave blotches of color on otherwise clean armor. That same reason is why I'm not too worried about some of the weird spots around the face.

Eventually Strahd and Rahadin will get their own miniatures, and each of them will wear similar colors, just in varying values and amounts of each. I didn't want Alek to be wearing solid red armor (that's the plan for Strahd's animated armor), so he gets a very warm grey instead.

A digital drawing of Alek Gwilym, from I, Strahd, with his arms tied up and sitting back on his knees. Alek is a trans man, with visible top surgery scars along his chest. The side of his torso is decorated by a flower tattoo following the curve of his ribs. There is a large slash wound open on his chest, and his chin is raised in anger towards someone off canvas.

Finally got around to drawing my version of Alek alive! (: Based off William Etty's "Male Nude, with Arms Up-Stretched" (:
