A traditionally drawn sketch of a young man facing the viewer. He is wearing a suit jacket with large lapels, decorated with circular pins. His curly hair is kept in an undercut, and flows back and to the right. Small notes surround the sketch, either commenting on elements of the sketch, or noting sources of inspiration for the design.
The first of three rough sketches exploring different outfit options. The character wears a formal, slightly old-fashioned, suit, and faint lines suggest the presence of a large coat hanging around his shoulders.
The second of three sketches exploring outfit options, this sketch focuses on a large jacket that covers the character's suit. The sketch is surrounded by messy notes regarding the potential color and design choices used.
The last of three sketches depicting the character's outfit, this design has a shorter coat, paired with a partial cape hanging off the left shoulder.

I've got another DnD character, who, despite being used in a Saltmarsh oneshot, takes almost all his features and personality traits from VRGtR.

Design details, backstory, and stats are bellow the cut, there's a lot, as there seems to usually be when I introduce a new character. (:

Suggestions/critique for his design are welcome!

Quinten Hayes is a young investigator in his early thirties. Raised by his mortician father and spirit medium mother, it's unsurprising to most that he developed a dark sense of humor and comfort in the macabre. What is surprising is the ghost of his dear dead brother being his warlock patron.

Ridley Hayes died shortly after turning ten years old, the same night 16 year old Quinten first started to speak with the dead. A deal was struck. In exchange for new power, Quinten would explore the world for the two of them, giving Ridley a glimpse of the life he could no longer lead. It just so happened that being a private investigator is the perfect way to find trouble and adventure.

I've Got Another DnD Character, Who, Despite Being Used In A Saltmarsh Oneshot, Takes Almost All His

Design Notes:

Jack Seward and Van Helsing were the main sources of inspiration for his design, though Van Richten and Sherlock Holmes were also considered.

His cane came from the Horror Trinket Table in VRGtR, as a piece of evidence from a case, and it was that which lead to me lowering his Dexterity score and movement speed (with DM permission) to reflect a leg injury he received some time prior. Somehow I messed up which hand he should hold the cane with in each outfit sketch.

He's a variant human with the Spirit Medium feat, to match his mother.

His Form of Dread feat will cause him to appear sickly and gaunt, to match his brother.

The middle coat design is my favorite, though I should probably make a sketch or two that doesn't have him wearing a suit.

A portrait of a young man, facing the viewer, but looking to the upper right of the canvas. He has dark skin, and unnaturally bright and pale blue eyes. He is wearing a large grey jacket over a green suit vest and tie.

Finished up the portrait! (:

Might need to spend some time next year working on my anatomy, but I like how this turned out overall! (:

Critique is always welcome! (:
