SciFi and Fantasy Art: Half-Celestial

This is Santhi, a half-celestial fighter (with one level of ranger) in a d&d game I played in for a short while. Yes, I know her armor is going to upset some of you with it really being a breast-plate. But I didn't draw it for realism. I drew it because I liked it :P You can keep your realism out of my fantasy art ;) She can tell you first-hand how it can be no fun to have your arm ripped off and then be beaten with it. Gotta hate ogres when you're a low level character *grin*

Ah, so that's what the metal arm thingy is... O_o Heh... I can attest to the hilarity of half-celestials; in a recent campaign we had a half-celestial paladin who decided to play with an alchemy set! First he made something really yucky (smelled like poo!) then he poured something else into it and it turned into... wine. My Dwarven Cleric woulda been more impressed if it had been ale, though! ;-)

Hehe... apologies for that little digression! I like this pic a lot-- I totally goosh over celestials, I dig the wings and I'd like to learn how to get that kind of dimensionality going! O_o

Sent down from Heaven to do some nasty work. The colours are rich and i like that. The way she stands shows she's not afraid of anything. The hair colour and wings do it for me babes.
Keep up the good work

*shocked, stunned, surprized, amazed* "She had her arm ripped off!?!?!?" O_O "...wait a sec, if her arm was ripped off, why is it still there? Is it because it was drawn before her arm was ripped off, or because she got it reattached or something?" *stares confusedly at the drawing* well anyway, it's a very good drawing, but her nose needs to be a hair wider at the end, that might make it look a bit better...^_^

Oh my god... I love this picture. I play DnD and I've been looking to find someone to do a portrait of my character. I'd be willing to pay for it if we could figure something out. If you're interesting, email me.

Who needs a full plate anyway when you know how to defend yourself.

Hm, nice pic. Loved the metallic shine on the arm. Her wings seem to be situated a bit low on her back though.

:-) Anneliese "CalicoTiger" Stehwien replies: "I admit, it does seem that way. But they aren’t. It’s because you can’t see behind her. When you look at wings, where they meet up with the body, it’s like our upper arms down to the elbows. And then to the main part that we usually see in pictures. And that part is like that here as well. The "upper arm" to the elbow part hangs down a bit (to be more bird-like), thus making the base of the wings seem lower.

Besides, you couldn’t flap very well with those big shoulder blades in the way. Those shoulder blades get in the way of that kind of free movement. So even with the "upper arm" thing, yes. They are down a tad bit (ie, they’re not up at the top of her shoulders like in many images.

Blah, that’s a long explanation! 17 I hope it at least made sense, hehe!"
