SF&F Picture 12 out of 14 by Justen Robertson.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Gnoll Warrior

Eh, finally finished this one. I think it came out pretty well, the only problems I have with it are the right leg and hand. This is my first upload in several months, wow. Might do a background later if I feel like it. This, by the way, is based off of Daedal Macabre, a mud I play and work at. Visit www.daedalmacabre.org :) Anyone else hate the hyena gnolls and lizard kobolds in 3E?

12 Feb 2002	Emily Smirle	Loading... From what I recall (gets all grizzly and old) gnolls were always hyena-like, since redbox at any rate. I'm not familiar with the mythology behind them, so I can't say how badly mangled the original may or may not be. However, this fella, with his stripes, lookes like a Striped Hyena, rather than a Spotted Hyena. Probably not what you were aiming for, but I think he looks very cool. Those legs and feet are very well done, and I like the way the cloak flows. Heck, your overall composition and design makes me drool. salivate Keep up the good work.
2 Apr 2002	Timmy	Loading... That is so cool
16 Jul 2002	Zachariah Campbell	Loading... I dig... but aren't gnolls hyena-like? Your interpretation is more wolf-like, which is cool. What I'm curious about is whether gnolls are a pure TSR creation, or whether they come from mythology somewhere. I know that "kobold" is actually simply German for "goblin". I guess Gary Gygax just decided he needed more small humanoids in the book.
21 Jan 2003	Cedric Lutes	Loading... Very cool wolf-hyena like creature i love it nice work
7 Apr 2003	Christopher R. Yost	Loading... Have to agree with you, the right leg doesn't look right, but the right hand looks fine. Great work on the detail and the armor, it very awsome.
20 Aug 2004	William Robert Duke	Loading... Going in my gnoll tour, now. Unless you want it not to. Bravo on this piece. Teach me how to do this. NOW! Please? I'll grovel...
10 Dec 2005	The Werescrib	Loading... To clear up something, Kobold is a german house-sprite, supposedly possesing wood figurines made out of the trees they once inhabited. In TSR's D&D they are reptillians, although they were described as "Dog-like, SCALED, with nakedm hairless tails like a rat." Umm, actualy that may not be a perfect transcript, but hey, its close. Also, Gnolls have always been Hyena like, in fact, they got less Hyena like in 3.0 and 3.5, if you pay attention to the pictures, and Gnolls aren't artificial feeling... they wuvable.
25 Nov 2006	No one you know.	Loading... His head came out a bit big... Great picture though...
1 Apr 2008	Doran Whiteguard	Loading... The armor is incredible
