Alchemy it's like... alchemy, for alchemists?



I play D&D on Monday, and this Monday I started a new campaign as my first ever alchemist. Normally a little eccentric alchemists tend to  create potions and bombs, always tinkering with new formulas, my characters mind has maybe deteriorated more than most and after a few too many bad ones his common sense could be better, but don't get me wrong, the mans still a genius.

Now back on track, I couldn't help but sketch him, I even ended up inventing a wee gizmo for him, it keeps track of the daily formulas. The first Image, is a really quick colouring just so that I could jot down what's in my head. The second image was drawn earlier today at work, the glass vials he has are bombs, he mixes them and throws them to do damage and the third image, that's just a doodad.

  1. looks really good man. He does look crazy like anything but then again alot of genius are crazy. The first image looks awesome, the shadows on it work really well together.

  2. I agree with Paul about the shading on the coloured version. I think it gives it a good depth. I have never played D&D, but I seem to know a lot of people doing so recently. I don't know if I'd trust him with that smile though, :).

  3. It's probably best not to trust him, some of the more dangerous decisions are random dice rolls. I like the first one but I think if I was going to do it again, I wouldn't have used such a soft brush in Photoshop, it makes the shadows too soft.
