Original Character October day 3: Dalshen Derahel, drow paladin 

Dalshen! Those who have followed for a year or so may remember him from the 2019's OC-October. He was the first one I drew in this style, but I considered he had changed enough to warrant a new drawing! He's the first NPC the party carried along on a mission. He actually got them wrapped up in all this drama. He was a knight-in-training at the time, and uh, wanted to solve a case by himself instead of searching his superiors. 

Long story short, the party helped him. He kinda joined along afterwards, as the seemingly innocuous case required further investigation. After a few adventures here and there, he got kidnapped by the baddies the party was pursuing, and... When they found him again, he was trapped in an underground workshop and experimented with. Apparently, they had forced magic corruption on him in hoped to get powerful crystals out of his body. The party managed to save him, but the magical disease is, well, unfixable. Dalshen isn't sure how much time he's left, but he's trying to enjoy whatever is left now. And he finally became a fully fledged knight!

I rolled a dice and @leidensygdom somehow won a drawing of Dalshen because that’s how dice work right?

what am I even doing

[leidensygdom]

Forgot to share this one here, but that’s what one year of difference did to my art! I’d say it’s gotten better, hasn’t it? ;D

[leidensygdom]

It’s been really long since I drew him, so have a pretty tangerine man! I’m thinking of reworking post-crystal corruption Dalshen a bit, to better fit the campaign he’s a NPC in

Original Character October, day 1

Name: Dalshen Derahel

Race and class: Drow paladin

Faction: Dharka Savada

Description: Dalshen is a naive, yet very hard-headed recruit of the Dharka Savada, Gharmyra’s knighthood. He found the group in The Nest, a cozy tavern near the capital. And there, he asked them for help with a strange finding, which would lead to some disturbing discovery. He has more to him than what it may appear: He’s plenty aware of the tensions within Gharmyra, and has been trying to discover more on the matter, much to his superiors’ worrying.

(note: Hello! I’m starting Oc-October again. I’ll do a more formal anouncement later!)

Hey look, I colored @drowtales ‘s lines! I love coloring more than doing lines, so any chance I get to color someone else’s art is a good one. It’s Dalshen, an overly enthusiastic and maybe too reckless drow paladin!

In the background I put Xyrdea, capital to Remyra, my homebrew drow city/nation for a dnd game I’m running!

[leidensygdom]

A rather different version of Dalshen for a rather dark AU!! In this one he’s undead and put into a mechanical body, having no control of himself.

Wanted to try to work with blocks of black and white and no sketch, think it turned out ok!

[leidensygdom]

Aaand it’s done! This one SHOULD count as several days of the daily challenge because it was just so much work-

Dalshen, adapted to the @drowtales‘ setting! A tangerine loving former Dutan’vir who has certain regrets of having been not too great to his tainted lil bro. Also, second pic for drowcember!
