Description
A character for my players to interact with, once they reach a town. He's going to just sort of pop up all sorts of places, I think. A merchant. Also, I'm giving the 7x9 format a try for a while. Usually i set it to 6x9.
Going to keep this one short. I've been working a lot of this game because I've got the player's interest, and I haven't had time to sit down just to do something that's purely artistic. Not that this isn't artistic, just that I'm sure folks might get tired of seeing all the steampunk/fantasy-themed renders.
I had a bit of bad news, with my house guest delaying her arrival to an undetermined date, so I'm a bit bummed out. This news came just as seasonal depression hit its peak. Really, anything artistic I do right now is bound to be a bit bland, but by golly, I'm going to keep my skill as sharp as I can!
EDIT: Fixed the floating gramophone)

Amazing !!!
LyleAryn
Thank you. This time I tried to create someone who looks trustworthy. I want the sort of recurring mystery character that the players can actually rely on.

Excellent work my friend 👍🙋♂️
LyleAryn
Thank you, other than my floating gramaphone. I could re-render without the figure I suppose, and then blend 'em together. I think I will do that.

You can 'paint' it in gimp. Nicely done.
LyleAryn
Yeah. I ended up re-rendering minus the person, and then erasing the window.

Sorry to hear about your bad news. This is a great looking character, though.
LyleAryn
Thank you! I got the smoke from Medieval Fantasy Bedroom. It came with the candles. A little unparenting, a little re-parenting, and wa-la! Smoke from a pipe!

Splendid character and outfit
LyleAryn
Thanks, Sunbeam!

Very nicely conceived character and outfit...first class all round work...!
LyleAryn
Thank you. Got to show that I can do male characters, too. Or else the players will get suspicious!

A very intriguing character. On another not. I am sorry about your disappointment and hope you keep your spirits up. I am definitely looking forward to your up coming projects here at 'osity.

Thanks! I just got a g2 character converted to g8, and am rendering her new portrait. That was an interesting process. Sadly, you can't convert the mat, or rather there doesn't seem to be a way to add G2 UVs to G8 characters. So I ended up having to redo her skin, though I have to say the end result is quite nice.
I look forward to my friend coming to stay, but it's a move across country, so I'm trying to keep on the positive in knowing that she hasn't canceled completely. Just delaying it for now. Though I was really looking forward to taking the trip out to get her.

Interesting character! I really like his outfit and his friendliness seems to stand him in good steed.
LyleAryn
Thank you. I've already got my players mistrusting just about everybody, and so far they've never been betrayed. I also nearly defeated one with an empty house, but yeah. Good times!

the trunk is huge, it must have a lot of things to sell, beautiful rendering
LyleAryn
Yes, indeed good sir. Just step right up and tell me your heart's desire, and we'll see what we can do about it.

LyleAryn
Thank you!!!

The road to nowhere leads to him. Awesome job : )
LyleAryn
Yes. Every time I see the title of the image, I hear that song. And here you are quoting it. Lol. Thank you.

Excellent render; great work on the textures.
LyleAryn
Thank you. I'm glad you like it.

Fabulous work. I somehow want to check my wrist after shaking hands with him.
LyleAryn
"That's funny. I didn't have this watch a little bit ago." You remark, looking down at the fancy timepiece.
Seriously though, this will be one of the very few non-shady characters they meet.

Bland? No...
This is a perfect character study, well thought out and conceived.
LyleAryn
Thank you. I'm glad you like him!

A very interesting outfit and unusual choice of pipe color. He keeps being a bit surprising.
LyleAryn
Thanks! I thought it was interesting as well.
