SciFi and Fantasy Art: Shady dealings.

It's a standard fantasy trope - the shady character in the hood, sitting in the darkest corner of the tavern idly toying with various sharp implements. I mean, I don't know why the city militia don't just sweep through taverns arresting such dodgy types straight away, as you can guarantee they're some sort of thief or assassin or other low-life.

Whoa. I wouldn't want to get stuck sitting next to him (her?) in a tavern...

The militia don't do these sweeps because these dude who like sharpies are just so cool! You can't go locking all the cool people up in jail or your town looses all it's cool points and none of the hot loose princesses who want to show daddy's whose boss will come to your town when they run away and then your tourist trade will go way down and then you'll have no conflicts becuase there are no annoying tourists and then it'll just be a bunch of fantasy people sitting around looking at one another going over battle scars. and you can only do that for so long before you learn things about your neighbor you never wanted to know!

Hey! Aragorn sat in the darkest corner of the tavern in a hood and he wasn't some low life! haha.
I love the atmosphere you created in the pic, dark, but fire-lit, very nice!

The city militia doesn't try to arrest those people because they don't want to find out that the person they're going to arrest is a really good assassin and able to kill them.

You see, I would be the one who would go over there and try to start a conversation about the outrageous tax rates. Then I would get poked with one of those various sharp implements as a result of my annoyingness.

Very nice pic though 2
