SciFi and Fantasy Art: Ironcastle

This is a picture of an old AD&D character. The sword is made of demonic steel with the pommel and crosspiece fashioned from mithril. The hilt is wrapped in demon hide. It's kind of like Elric's sword Stormbringer, in that it takes your soul when it kills you. Done using a nib pen and ink and a good old no. 2 pencil on typing paper.

Nice job! Tough tool to use. Well stylized comic book look to it. The pencil shading is pretty good except for the cape on the left side. A little steaky.

Damn nice, man. It would have been super-sweet if it was in colour, though.

His legs seem a little too long for his body. Perhaps if you dropped the end of the scalemail tunic down a bit ?

Great stuff! I like the simplicity of it and the idea behind it.

I think its a great picture, though, the sword looks a little too long. I mean, how's he supposed to weild a sword that's as long as he is tall?

Take a look at pictures of the weapons and armor from museums. The average height of a person back then was around 5 ft. 5 in. or thereabouts. The zweihanders that were used by teutonic knights and the flamberges of the French were around that size. Most of them had a leather sleeve just forward of the crosspiece so the sword could be held one-handed also. Kind of awkward, but do-able.
