Griffonclaw's Neverwinter Microheroes

edited April 2013 in Art and Fiction
I adapt a cartoon style called microheroes to create character pixel artwork. These are done by hand, but having done characters for various MMOs for a decade, I have quite a few template layers I can use and modify. I've already been busy doing some characters for the RP community. My archive is here:

http://www.medinnus.com/micro/nw/

Some already done include:

    I love them! They are incredibly detailed for that type of artwork. Very impressive.

    Extra love for the Drow one!

    omg these are so much fun! I've always wanted to get into pixel art, but have always been distracted by too many other things....

    Much admiration for what you do!

    Nope, but I take requests!

    I find that I feel a little too much like a cheat if I take money, even game money, for doing stuff I really like and would do anyways (you should see my AVENGERS: EARTH'S MIGHTIEST HEROES archive!). Just kind of seems kind of fraud-like. I usually just tell people to do something nice for someone else, in a "pass it along" kind of way.

    Well I will be playing a M Renegade Drow medium blond hair and light complexion (kinda similier to the presentation one but I have alot of work to do on the face)

    I will be playing a trickster rogue, and my armor will be primarily black and red.

    Id love to see what you come up with :D

    When you say "light complexion", you mean "light for a Drow"? What armor? What weapons? I have no idea what you mean by the "presentation one" - do you have am image reference? Rather than just wing it, I prefer references and specifics, so that I can make what you actually want, and not what I think you want... if that makes sense. :p

    oh my mistake.

    Lets see.

    Zyne: Drow
    Hair: Light greyish blond
    Skin: Dark brown/tanned
    Eyes: Red
    Armor: Black leather armor with red accents. Over his armor he wears a dark red cloak that extends downward to about his hip level. His hood is normally up and his face his partially concield by this.

    Weapons: Zyne prefers two long Karambits with blackened edges. The blackening seems to be some sort of poison stopping clotting of the blood making even smaller injuries from him far more dangerous.

    That help :D

    Some assumptions:

    I am assuming Zyne is the character name.

    Drow (as far as I know) have black/slate grey skin, but I took you at your word and went with dark brown.

    Grey/blond hair - yellow and grey don't make a really good combination and don't shade very well (color contrast is important when you work with really small pixel distinctions), so I went with "platinum blonde". Cloaked (although that length of cloak is more of a cape, IIRC) version is coming shortly

    Edit - And cloaked.

    OK, the easy part - where I could put clothes and whatever as I pleased - now we have actual in-game reference art!

    Not that I won't ignore it upon request, but still...
