Drawing & Painting - Fantasy Characters - From sketch to painting -...

Hey everyone,

Today I'd like to continue sharing my work as a character designer for fantasy games/ip's with you.

There has been a lot of posts before this one as we are on part 8 !

If you are interested in seeing the other parts, or more of my work in general? Please check out my blog :

So as of this part I'll start sharing some of the characters i have designed for the famous RPG game 'Pathfinder'.

Here we go!

My first job for pathfinder was back in 2014 I had to redraw/paint some of the Iconic Pathfinder characters in new stances poses or clothes. It was sort of an art-test to see if i could adapt to the style.
It was quite a tough job and took alot of time per character as up to then the way I painted characters was quite different. All the little details and expressions in material/cloth and poses was very different to what i was doing back then. So it was great for me to learn from!

This was first one I did and I remember redrawing the sketch and poses like 8 times.. I really wanted to do it right as I knew that if I would.. They'd probably hire me again!! :)

This was how I sketched out the character first.. Then I would send it to my Art-Director for approval.. If it was indeed approved I'd go ahead and paint it up resulting into something like this:

These are all from the first job I did for them.
Luckily for me they were very pleased with the job I did and this started a working relationship that last for about 3 years. Nowadays I'm too busy with other projects to take on work from Paizo.
But in that time I've painted alot of cool characters. This was the first and last job of me painting existing characters from the Pathfinder IP.
On all the other jobs I got from them I had the freedom to come up with characters and monsters myself.
