Bunth - Tumblr Posts
Started drawing characters for a comic idea (which I have decided to tag with "bunth" for reasons that aren't as funny to me as the tag itself) that's slowly taking shape in my brain. There's gonna be a lot of drawings eventually and the original plan was to post them all at once when they were done but I changed my mind because I think spreading them out over multiple posts is better for my hashtag discoverability.
Anyway here's Bosse. She's a goblin lady named after a goblin lad I made like a decade before her and forgot existed until I was done drawing. A buddy of mine on Discord heard she was around 5'7" and posted three pleading emojis in sequence. She'll get to punch a dragon in the face one day probably.
Second contribution to the bunth tag. This is Shiafpin. He's a real skinny orc fella who used to be a priest until he got some funky ideas about whether this colonial missionary stuff he was involved in was really justifiable and maybe kind of killed a man about it. I posted him somewhere and just called him "orc bloke" and I was told yup that's a bloke right there.
Second drawing was my first go at a couple subjects art-wise and I imagine you may be able to tell.
While considering the design of the next character who's showing up to this business I wanted him to have something tattooed on his head and came up with the snake thing at the top of this image, and then I remembered there'd be several more characters in future whose designs reference some animal or another so I decided to go on a bit of an artistic tangent and design them all so I could reference them later.
They are all to scale with each other but with no human reference so as an aid: the giraffe thing at the far left is, not counting the horns, a bit under 5.5 metres (which is a bit over 18 feet).
Korym. He's an elf stuck in the middle of some kind of succession crisis civil war that he doubts there's any real victory in because the neighbouring empire is eyeing on the country. He will stab the king in the face if he gets the chance. A pal of mine saw the drawing on the right and just said Don Quixote and I was like how did the thought not occur to me on my own.
Both of these drawings kicked my ass an unreasonable amount for different reasons.
Öfalaie. She's a dwarf who's a witch. If she needs to fix a heart that's out of order she'll stick a frog in its place to keep things in operation, which works. Has never thrown a punch, but in this economy she just might.
Strián, a troll archer. He's like 2 metres tall and surely not thinking about the war. Like most trolls (who, being big guys who eat a lot, used to hibernate in the winter) he tends to start falling asleep when he sees snow. Or perhaps he's learning how to read in that second image and his teacher's choice of book is boring him.
Road lord Torafk Troks. Simply not a fun guy. Will chase you across multiple countries for stuff he doesn't even know the value of as long as it's his.
Forgot to do a post here featuring all of them so here it is now. Hopefully more guys of this kind incoming this year.
I felt like putting effort into tagging today (procrastination is hitting hard) so I went way beyond the tag limit and tumblr ate them lol; post looks naked now.
