The Campaign Builder's Guild

I found a sketchbook with a few more sketches in it. I'll upload it soon, maybe even sketch out a few more of these. STAY TUNED! :yumm:

What's that you say? Luminous Crayon's posting crappy old sketches he found when cleaning out his notebooks? Well COUNT ME IN :yumm:

Quote from: LC draws a Kopru!
Why is it holding a torch? I don't know! But it is probably an evil squidtorch, capable of underwater burning. Or something.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=LC draws a Kopru face closeup (very dangerous)]

"O blood-red eyes and tentacles,
Pulsing, throbbing ventricles,
Mucus-oozing pores and frightful claws!

Worse, in terms of outright scariness
Are the suckers multifarious
That grab and force you in its mighty jaws!"[/spoiler]

"Did I hit it?"
"I don't know; I can't see it from here..."

This is really lousy art, but I like their protective goggles. Also, I like that boru, because he looks so nonchalant after having just capped a hideous monster in the ass. Look at him. He's a stone-cold killah.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=A Healer]
A 30-second ink sketch, because I was trying to break my dependence on pencil frameworks. Wouldn't even have scanned it, but I like the look on his face. It's as if he's thinking "Oh, what now?"[/spoiler]

Wow, that Kopru is great! I need to draw more. ^_^

The Kopru was super fun to draw. Kudos to Crit for a highly compelling description.

While I could think of lots of things I'd love sketched for Kishar, I'll start with this one (a type of Old One):

[ic=Athoth]
Taking their name from the first and most powerful of their kind, the Athoth are strange beings. Existing outside of the visible spectrum, they are effectively invisible. If one could see them, one would see a four-legged being resembling a cross between a lizard and an insect. They have squat bodies close to the ground, twin tails each tipped with a scorpion-like sting, and large heads with enormous maws. Each supports three compound eyes.

In addition to being effectively invisible, the Athoth can burrow through higher-dimensional space, effectively creating miniature, personal wormholes. This means they can travel great distances very quickly.[/ic]
If anyone is interested, I'd be flattered and thrilled.  A black-and-white sketch is probably best suited to the color scheme of my site.

And kudos to everyone for the great work this thread has already seen (though some have disappeared!).

Just as a reminder....

Quote from: Cornmy 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...

In case anybody is interested.

*bump*


A new request:


The fight between Sun and Moon, from Xiluh. Picture two lean, atheletically built human males in a fight to the death. Both should have dark hair, and should be dressed in primitive, exotic clothes. For more details, check out the First Age section of the Xiluh timeline; The fight, along with the motivation, is in the spoiler tag there.

CYRMO's Photobucket pics don't seem to be working, either.

CYRMO, are you hosting the pictures at all?

Dude, CYMRO hasn't been on the site in month's now.  He probably just took down the pictures.

Oh, OK. Well, next time anybody sees him, they should ask if he's willing to upload the pics directly to here.


I know LC hasn't really been here for awhile, too, so I'm questioning whether or not he's still managing this. I'd love to see this go on, though.

Hello all! I've been practicing my sketching, but I can't seem to get a picture of my latest beastie to come out right.
I'd love  it if someone wanted to take a whack at it. :yumm:
[spoiler Here it is:][ic Unikaal]The unikaal I've given the English name 'fire serpents,' though they evoke a much more draconic feel. Imagine a snake roughly four feet long covered with rough, thick scales colored like red brick with black splotches, now add 24 pairs of centipede-like legs along it's body and two huge bat-like wings spanning over six feet on it's back. Unlike the centipede, an unikaal's legs are supported by an internal skeleton, but they still end in a single tiny claw, rather than foot. The unikaal's wings are supported by two pairs of "limbs" which leave the spine shortly after the skull and again halfway down the body. Each limb has a number of fingers, like a bat, and the unikaal's skin is stretched between them. Unlike a bat, the unikaal lacks the muscle mass to gain altitude, and is limited to gliding down from trees or rock ledges. The unikaal's head is blunt and covered by the same stiff, dull scales. Within two sunken pits rest the unikaal's slitted, red eyes, ever hungry and unblinking. The unikaal, unlike a snake, does not have the power to unhinge it's jaw, and it's mouth is filled with small, serrated teeth rather than fangs. The unikaal are related to the larger thelisin of Lun, though their wings and mystery hold them apart. Unikaal gender is indistinguishable.

The feeding habits of the unikaal are as fantastic as their physiology. Carnivorous, the unikaal's many legs give them supreme agility when hunting prey and their tough bodies are built for combat with large animals. Amazingly, the unikaal is a pack animal. Congregating in swarms consisting of four to twenty individuals, the unikaal will lurk upon a precipice or within the upper canopy of jungle trees and wait for a large animal to pass by before swooping in en masse to kill the larger animal. Cold blooded and capable of waiting extreme periods of time between meals, unikaal hunt whenever there is available food, day or night. Only able to see motion and lacking eyelids, unikaal have even been known to spot prey while asleep. Even more fantastic is the unikaal's primary means of attack. While swooping, the unikaal will belch up a stored pocket of gas and exhale quickly while generating a tiny spark with an organ at the end of their tongue producing a stream of concentrated flame that lasts around four seconds and can reach two feet in length. This rapid exhalation is almost always accompanied by a horrifically loud screech. The entire colony will thus glide in from above and breathe fire upon the startled animal before landing on or around it and biting at it's face or burrowing into it's belly.

Unikaal, being highly social, are surprisingly intelligent and can communicate with a whisper-like hissing or, during mating season, by screaming. Happy to attack omaku, even in small groups, the worst sound to hear in the jungle in the low hissing of an unseen swarm of unikaal about to swoop.[/ic][/spoiler]

Hmm, interesting.

Would someone like to try their hand at drawing any one of the demiurges from The Overture? (The descriptions are all a few posts down, under a button marked "Demiurges")

Yes, I fail at anything other than a profile.... >_>
Anyway, I figured I'd take a swing at interpreting the Atoth.

I have some sketches of my unikaal, so I'll post one of those soon just to show off the wing structure.
[spoiler When writers try to draw...]

Yeah, I really should have worked on that back tail a bit more... Uhg.[/spoiler]

Hey, you just stole the picture of the Invisible Stalker, from 1e MM!

Here, I think my picture might be a little better suited:



























So, what do you think?
