After all the knights and wizards died out the only one left to fight was the village idiot.
He stole some wizardry robes; items and attempted to summon a kraken. That's the last time he was heard from.

Cool entries. Wish I would have had time to put some more polish on this but I can't, so I threw some color on it and had to call it finished.

Hope im doing this right with the attachments and stuff, been a while. I haven't done any back/side views, not sure if I was supposed to. If that was the case, feel free to exclude it from the poll, it was fun to paint none the less

I ran out of time and didn't manage a lot of it properly. But here's what I came up with. A man who at all odds has to defend himself, with only a plunger.

There are some interesting compositions and beautiful renderings in this thread.

She is impoverished and shunned in the humans' world, but the invaders destroyed her home and killed her family, so now she must take vengeance or something and bla bla bla...

[Mykro]

Nice job everyone.

[KICHI]

Ran out of time so I suppose this will have to do!

My guy seems to be a humble troll chef. He doesn't seem to be very skilled at fighting but at least when the creatures of darkness come to devour him he'll be a tasty morsel!

Zarrik the Great is an old glory, a retired warrior who has been living as a peasant for a lot of years and is too old to fight, but when his village is in danger, he must wear his rusted armour (the few pieces that remain of it) and go to battle again...
