The Campaign Builder's Guild

While I am a fair hand at sketches, my girlfriend and I prefer to work with Poser, as it gives us the proverbial shitload of options in both figures, accessories and backgrounds.  And ways to create, with Hex and Bryce and 3DMax, new stuff.

This is a Nosivar from Altvogge we created in Poser.

Okay, you need sketch ideas? Let's hit the Stars Above motherload here.




[spoiler=Vorian]A Vorian looks vaguely like a Surian with long, pointed ears and slim frames. After that, however, the similarities tend to end. With skin tones ranging from dark blue to deep violet, Vorians are entirely hairless. Their eyes are shimmering pools ranging from scarlet to amber, while they possess varying numbers of digits on each hand, from a mere three to, typically, seven. Normally, a Vorian's digits are the same on each of his extremities, though this is not always the case.

This particular Vorian is Aguul t'Metriik, a powerful magi and a wealthy aristocrat- a fact he openly flaunts. Amongst a race of competitive, petty, and vile beings, t'Metriik is one of the worst of the lot, and despite his regal status and his noble blood, he has a hunched back that he developed as a result of an incident during his childhood where he was trapped in a cramped underground cavern for months, surviving only on the fruits of his innate magical power. He wears long, flowing black robes and posesses numerous amulets, and each of his four-fingered hands is covered in rings, bracelets, and runic white tatoos.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Ralgor]
A squat, stocky individual in power armor designed as much for offense as defense, with spikes, small laser cannons, and razor-sharp plate edges. This armor is further enhanced by a larger, shoulder-mounted reaction cannon, as well as what Ralgor calls a "gravity sword", a blade made from a magically-sealed singularity that seems to warp the very space around it.

Ralgor is a member of the Rovigan race and refuses to wear the helm to his armor, "cuz I want to see eyes when I kill them, not some blasted monitor." He is a rogue, having long ago decided to forsake his people and the Interplanetary Alliance in order to further his own dreams-- establishing his own brand of justice on the galaxy, one primitive planet at a time.


Rovigans are short, stocky individuals with skin tones ranging from emerald green to a deep aquamarine. Hermaphroditic in nature, most individuals are known to traditionally have long, braided beards and short hair. Common shades of hair range from a dark black to a light blue. Rovigans' eyes are pupiless, and seem to sheen with the silver of the very alloys they mine.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Mevarian-class ultralight attack ship]The Mevarian-class is designed for a single pilot with little to none cargo, armed with two high-yield missles with  anti-magic payloads. There are two small cannons near the cockpit of the ship and a single, larger aft cannon. The cockpit itself is designed with a series of screens that act as conduits for arcane power-- Surians place their hands on the screens and take direct control over the ship mentally[/spoiler]

That's all for now. I have more NPCs, ships, and other stuff in the works, but I'll let you guys have at these.

CYMRO, that's awesome.

Vaeryn. They are a race of tree-dwelling spider-like beings.
Appearance: They appear roughly ar tall gangly humanoids with long spindly, segmented legs. There are 3 sets of legs (located at the legs, shoulders and a third set emerging from the back aroung the waist area), as well a set of arms with semi-opposable thumbs that emerge from the chest area slightly below the main shoulders. They are capable of walking on 6 legs with the torso and arms hanging under the legs, on 4 legs, with the torso, arms and front legs held up, and some can, with great dificulty, walk on just their hind set of legs, although this position is primarily used for reaching high objects or getting attention, as opposed to walking. An adult male would be approx. 7 feet tall if they stood up fully, but in their normal position on 4 legs, they only rise about 5 feet off the ground. Females are significantly larger, and also rarer, and stand 6 feet tall normally and 8 to 9 feet when fully upright. The skin of the vaeryn is predominantly covered in coarse black hair, although on the females, this hair is much sleeker and occasianally will have patterns of contrasing colours in it. Most Vaeryn do not wear clothing, but they use belts and harnesses to carry gear

Quote from: Phoenix KnightCYMRO, that's awesome.

Thank you.  Any Poser requests just need a fairly detailed physical description as well as a little about environment and such.

I've updated the list with all the requests so far. There are plenty of impressive concepts in the list, and I can't wait to take a crack at them. I'm really looking forward to seeing some interpretations of them, particularly the spaceship.

CYMRO, your 3D modeling is really impressive. Feel free, of course, to have a go at any of these art requests you feel like doing-- there's no reason we need to confine the project to ink-and-paper renditions when that kind of talent's around.

Minor squibble, it's a fairly generic Vorian, so the race descriptor is good enough, but Ralgor is a specific NPC of the Rovigan race.

Fixed, and thanks for pointing that out.

Also, seems your vorian race uses Aguul t'Metriik as a specific example. Do you want me to change the labeling for that as well, and if so, how?

Hmm, just go ahead and label it as an NPC.

my scanner isnt working, so dont expect  see anything i do, if i do anything at all, but.....

it would be kinda interesting to see some art in Xiluh. for the most part, the cultures are very tribal. elves have golden tans, and bodies that arent quite as lean as cliche. dwarves have much darker skin then other races, and have light overtones of zen-like asian inspiration.

and if anybody wants to come up with a physical description for Yuma, they can feel free...

Quote from: Natural 20The Kopru are a race of demonic minions sent to the Material plane to concquer int he name of their master. Their upper body is muscular and humanoid, with a streamlined head. The head narrows toward the mouth, which is a circular orific filled with pointy teeth and surrounded by four tentacles. Their eyes are large, round, and are colored a cold black with a noticeable lack of pupils. At the "waist", their body becomes similar to that of an octopus, with 4 thich tentacles with suckers on thew bottom, which they use for propulsion.

If you're coloring, their upper bodies are hairless and the rubbery skin possesses a sea-green tint, while the tentacles are a dark purple, bordering on black.

They walk on the tentacles, or are these aquatic types?

aquatic types.  Check the web enhancement for Stormwrack at WotC for how they did it.  I felt they needed some changes, and so made them slightly more humanoid.  Also, think Ursula from the little mermaid, but with a mind flayer head, an, well...  Yeah, you already have a description :P

So, similar to Altvogge's nolnogas...
Except the weird pie-hole.

I honestly have no idea...

Cymro, would you want to do a Poser piece of my Feudulnds? I don't think I included much about environs, but they live in a plains/mountainness region (aka Alberta... if you guys even know what that is...).
