The Realms: Troll

The "Second-in-command" in the Inn. The troll is a gruff, brutish character whose exterior belies a gentle soul, caring soul. Serving as mentor behind his mop (the squid-thing on his back) and bucket, he discreetly keep things to a manageable level for Kathleen to run. Although done in 2009, I touched up his picture a little before uploading. :)

The Realms: Traveling Merchant

The traveling merchant sells everything; from nondescript pots and pens to flying carpets and even rare, precious enchanted weapons. However, let the buyer beware - not everything is as he says it is and there is absolutely no refunds!

The Realms: Inn

The inn can be found at the lower reaches of the Tree. In some places, the inn looks haphazardly put together. However, it is fondly received because of the warmth and eclectic charm it exudes. It is home and haven to a group of oddball characters. Part of 'The Realms' FYP project.

The Realms: Industrial Mines

Environment design from my FYP project "The Realms'. The industrial mines are located below the ground at the roots of the Tree where the blue-collar working class as well as more unsavory characters dwell.

The Realms: Gnome Chef

What goes on in his kitchen is best described as alchemy and not in a good way. There are two things you should never ask about from this volatile and quite possibly insane chef: His past, which is more chequered than a chessboard. And the soup. NEVER EVER ask for the soup. It’s there only because it has to be.

The Realms: Kathleen

These were part of my FYP project in 2009. This is Kathleen, simultaneously owner, bartender and serving wench in the inn at Crossroads of Worlds. She plays the role of feisty mother hen and trusted friend to all in the inn. If I have time, I would like to paint an updated version of her. ;)

The Realms: Goldie Sketches

Some initial sketches of Goldie, the placid mutant goldfish of the Realms. Done in blue pencil and ballpoint pen.
