My Dungeon Master asked for an illustration for one of his NPCs and I jumped to the task. 'Satyr' is just that. Done initially in pencil and then 'painted' with greyscale markers, he wasn't intended as a polished piece. And yes, those are tattoos. Actually, if you look in the top right corner, you'll see three tattoo designs of which I used two.

Ohhhh... that smirk uncovered my weakness for slightly-nasty males and.. well.. smirks in general. *cough* If he had pointy ears and forward-facing knees I'd melt. As it is I'd just wave, say "Aaye!" and move on.

:-) Maya R. Hirschman replies: "-ROFL- It's probably for the best you don't linger near this fellow. He's mean. But very cool."

He looks Greek...do ya think...those tatoos are kool..I wanna get me some like that...hehe...I hope they dont turn me into a goat though.

:-) Maya R. Hirschman replies: "He was meant to have a Greek feel to him, partially his outfit, and partially him too. Afterall, it's Greek mythology that brought the Satyr into western imagination."

He is well done. I think I will take mine down and re-work it 2-- He does appear to have a nasty streak in him dosen't he 2 Something about the look in his eyes makes me not trust this fellow... Nice pic--Laura

:-) Maya R. Hirschman replies: "Leave yours up until you have one to replace it with. I like yours, even if he does have forward bending knees. *smile*"

schneeky to give him a skirt to hide the transition! But you more than make up for it by giving the point of Origin for the Horns. I love them horns.

:-) Maya R. Hirschman replies: "Oh, I wouldn't mind showing the transition. My Dungeon Master, who requested it, wanted the kilt and sash because that's how the satyr was dressed. I can't argue with my DM. 2"

Ah, very nice! The satyrs are a very cool race, and this one is really well drawn, and the goat-legs rock!

:-) Maya R. Hirschman replies: "Ya, satyrs do rock. I'm going to do a bunch more someday when I've got a little time."

What is the symbol on his chest? What does it mean? Do you know of any sources for greek symbols? I am a soldier and am looking for tattoes a greek soldier might have worn.

:-) Maya R. Hirschman replies: "I'm afraid I made the tattoos up. The symbols mean nothing, but good luck on your search."

It is very cool and beautiful image. I like it very much.

:-) Maya R. Hirschman replies: "Thanks much. There's a lot I'd draw differently in this image, were I to do it over, but I still have a warm fuzzy feeling for this Satyr."

Pam, the Greek satyr god, perhaps? Though that doesn't quite go with the tattoos, does it.

:-) Maya R. Hirschman replies: "Not Pan, but a greco-roman satyr, nonetheless. A friend of mine came up with him and asked me to draw him."

:-) Maya R. Hirschman replies: "Well, at least I don't have to type my comments twice, dumbknuckles."
