Description

The only digital touch I did to this was to remove some errant lines (I erased and re-wrote some words, and the old letters were still visible in the scan because I have issues with pressing down too hard when I attempt to write legibly), and to resize. I did so partly because I didn't like his hand and partly because her sword arm wasn't going so well and the sword would be off the edge of the paper anyway.

Attempting with pencils and shading on Bristol. I didn't have any fancy blenders with me when drawing this (the shield blending was with a rolled-up piece of tissue!), so I didn't do much of that. I tried for a thick woolen pattern on Vale there. I actually drew out character sheets for each before doing this, but Spes's looks better. Vale's had some proportion problems so I'm gonna redo that one. I'm trying a different outfit than his usual one to show a difference in time from the form you usually see him in.

Spes (or Lapesul) and Vale are both potential NPCs for a PnP world that I've been very lax on working on. Vale might be seen more commonly in it as someone that drops quests for people while being part of what is happening in the background (or foreground if players are interested in those goings ons), and with the scars. Spes would not be seen quite as often, at least not until I think it is time for a major happening to shift the feel of the setting. It's about time for a bit of cosmological house cleaning in that world, after all.

But there was a time that this unlikely pair traveled together and got on well. A rather lovely and bitersweet friendship. I play with the idea of telling the story in some form. I should force myself to work on that setting.
