Half-Elf Sunite Bard Concept Art
Concept Art of a Half-Elf Bard D&D Character.
The character was described to be wearing a slate-srey Studded Leather Armor, a bright orange Scarf as a token of the Faerunian deity Sune, and a Rapier and a Lute. I drew his Lute to bear the face of Sune, the goddess of passion.
This is concept art of a D&D Character I did a while back
TTRPG Illustrations don't usually call for the concept art, but I sketched this one out just to show a bit of the process.
The client gave me a verbal description, and even with few photo references, early on, I had this vision of what the Leather armor would look like along with some Pirate fashion elements.
As an artist, I play to my strengths, and one of them is my knowledge of Armor.
Even though Leather Armor wouldn't be rigid, I still applied some physics from real plate armor for realistic flexibility.
The final illustration*
Originally, the client decribed the character with a Royal Blue cape, but I changed the color to Navy Blue just for the portfolio.
