Barbarian Jakob.

Barbarian JakobA request by Khatoblepas.  This is his character Jakob, a portly behemoth, as a loinclothed barbarian leaping through the air with one of those gradient effects flying off his sword; I suppose he’s not high-level enough to produce a lens flare.

It came out very pastel because of some effect of the light; the character’s normally a much darker purple.   This picture took about seven and a half hours to complete, the last two being coloring.  I had to redraw it entirely once, as the first sketch became untenable about halfway through.

“Got somethin’ for ya…”

"Got somethin' for ya..."You come home to find Blake the red kangaroo sittin’ on yer bed.

He’s been rentin’ a room from ya for some time. He pays in cash and won’t tell ya his last name. You always thought he might be interested in ya, by the way he looks atcha…

“I’ve got somethin’ for ya,” he says, in that overseas accent that always gets yer motor running. “Pick a hand, left or right.”

You’re not sure ya wanna choose either. About this time, honestly, you’d like to go straight down the middle. He winks atcha.

“Right,” you say.

He pulls out his right hand and shows ya it’s empty. Before you can get properly disappointed, he grabs ya with it and pulls ya in for a kiss.


A while back I made a comment somewhere that I don’t think I’ve ever actually designed a character for sexiness as opposed to general cuddliness… and I decided, hey, I could probably give that a shot. He seems to be pretty popular over on FA.
