These are two characters who I have yet to use in Marbled Cake but will show up in its sequel or the spin-off. Brygus (on the left; I had originally named him Bakshra)is a member race of warlike four-armed planar marauders known reaves. In two arms he weilds weapons while the other two carry shields. It is also a major taboo in reave society to reveal the face to another, and hence reaves almost always wear closed-faced helmets, as this one is doing here. On the right is Signy (formerly caled Jallarzi), a female fensir, or Ysgardian troll, which are quite different from the variety found on the prime material plane. They are a bit more human-looking and benign, though it is the females who are on average taller and stronger. Exactly what role these two will have remains to be seen.

Your armor rocks, your knight looks really good but maybe just change the angle of the shield it looks a little awkward to me. Screw the twinkie comment it looks good

:-) David Mitchell replies: "Thank you. 1"

You draw armor very well! But maybe you can work on your heads. I like the way you made the man's 4 arms look realistic.

Stick to drawing armor ur faces are kinda fu#*d up. And u could have made the shield much more suited for the dudes armor. It looks like a death knight with a twinkie in his hand.

:-) David Mitchell replies: "Since Bakshra has four arms and uses two sheilds at once, it is only appropriate that he uses a long and narrow (non-circular) shield of some type, though perhaps a pair of triangular shields would have worked better. Though I am satisfied with the way his helm looks, I now realize it is a tad small.As for Jallarzi (whom I will re-name, since she would pronounce the 'j' as a 'y' with her accent), her features are deliberatley exaggerated as the Fensir Trolls typically have larger noses and ears than humans. Her fearsome grimace doesn't help much either, but I plan to draw both her and Bakshra again soon.Now you, sir, need to learn a bit more tact. Were I not in such a good mood (and if it not for the value of this commentary) I probably would have deleted your comment."

ok aca dice que use ingles,no no

He doesn't looks like he has four arms,they're kinda pinned in the back looking more like the rest fo clothing that actually an appendage,migght send ya a little work I have,ye might like it and see how you adapt multiple arms to "Humanoid" figures

Oh yeah,aca dice que no use las "f"words,que se vayan bien a la ----PPPPPIIIPPPP!!!-----

:-) David Mitchell replies: "The PS monster manual specifically stated the extra pair of arms a reave has are behind the first pair, not underneath it like an insect. Hence it was a real challenege to convey them here. That, and the fact that he is crammed into this page with another character doesn't help."

The only critque I have is yes, his helm is too small. Otherwise, as I said on the main page... wow! Your armor is getting amazing. Keep it up!

:-) David Mitchell replies: "Technically, Brygus' helm matches the proportions of a head if measured, except that assumes his head IS his helm. Brygus is tall (6'4") and somewhat overweight as it is, but the helm should be a little bigger than it appears in this pic. "

He only has three fingers! So I assume, because that's what it looks like from what I can see of his right hand. Very cool. Awesome armor.

I love the way Brygus looks, but Signy is one ugly bee-otch. (No offense)
