Having had a day off work I’ve been very productive working on my art portfolio. I’m trying to kill multiple birds with a single stone by starting my new portfolio with character art of my DMC’s. Here’s my impression of the Mercenary Merchant Burlinthearm of Lankhmar, character sheet to follow. I used a combination of media, pencil, ink pens, felt-tip, acrylic paint on heavy weight cartridge paper (140gsm). Even so it’s buckled because I didn’t originally plan this on being a painted piece but that’s how it evolved. I was inspired by a combination of Burli being like Brian Blessed (Gordon’s Alive!??) and Henry VIII. The hat is a recent purchase, and adorned with a curious feather of some kind of exotic bird. Burli got his scar in a recent fracas with unlicensed thief types.
Burlinthearm of Lankhmar giving his trademark grin. He's outside one of the many seedy bars in the City.
