Griz-maal the bugbear, the most recent PC added to the Marbled Cake campaign, explores this strange new city he has found himself in. Not too far behind lurks a drow. This picture is set in Sigil's Market Ward.

Weeee! I'm like totally your biggest fan, David.......No, seriously it's a nice pic, of a NICE character. Grizz-maal and Grock has to be the coolest pc's in MC. Yoss is cool to, though.

:-) David Mitchell replies: "I love you too Machochicken."

Hehe, that bugbear's face may not be the most original I've ever seen, but still I like the picture. I admire how you are able to put atmosphere into your drawings by adding a background, even if that background's perspective is a little shoddy (probably because you got impatient, right? 2 Great pic.

:-) David Mitchell replies: "Yes, Giz-maal's face was heavuily insipred from the bugbear illustration I found in the 2e complete book of humanoids. I have James Gurney (again) to thank for inspiration with the architecture."

Great looking character, I realy like the expression on his face and his hair/fur is well done

That's a Landsknecht he's weilding, right?

:-) David Mitchell replies: "This variety of two-handed sword is called a 'flamberge', but there could be many other synonyms. "

sweet looking pic! bugbear+greatsword=sweetness. just a quick comment on Ricky's question, the bugbear is bearing a flamberge (the correct term is flammard, flamberge was a wavy rapier but everbody calls it a flamberge so what the hell) which was used by, among others, the Landsknechts who were 15th-16th century german mercenaries. once again, great pic, madd proppz to the artist for placing him in an interesting and realistic scene.

The sword isnt called a landsknecht. It is a Zweihänder, and a flamberge is a zweihänder with wavy blade. They were about 160 to 180 cm.
