An afflicted kender buckle whore...

...looks like this. :D

Hello everyone, meet Mistah Ripple Pickapocket... he has issues.


This is a character sketch that I made for rj's character in the upcoming October campaign. For the uninformed, kenders are a playable race that originally came out in the DragonLance setting for D&D. They're basically annoying little bastards. Small, with high pitched voices and crazy dexterity scores, your average kender is a happy bugger (think ADHD), really curious, and has a penchant for... picking things up. Quite appropriate if you want to play a rogue, which is what Rj will be doing. Striker!!

But wait! you say, this kender looks far from peppy, and it doesn't have a topknot! Ah, but you see, mr. pickapocket is an afflicted kender. And that makes all the difference :P Afflicted Kender are kender who've undergone severe trauma that basically turns them emo. This explains the hair and the hollow look in his eyes.

I haven't edited out the original notes yet, though I did adjust the levels in photoshop so that the line art wasn't so washed out looking. Level adjustment is love! though probably not more so than multiply layers which I will abuse once more for the coloring ^_^

I can't post anymore details about the character (We have to keep his stats a secret from Luke the evil, evil Dungeon Master!) but you probably don't want to hear about it anyway ;P haha this was just wicked fun to draw and a wonderful way to burn time :D
