<p><span style="color: #00cc00">How a Wizard's Robe should look!

<p><span style="color: #00cc00">You just know this will have to happen one day, Gnolls are worshipers of Brell a "good" diety, which means the war with Qeynos is over a long forgotten feud; and Orcs worshipers of Zekk and very Expansionist, which means they already have their sites set of Antonica.</span></p><p><img src="http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs16/f/2007/188/0/0/Gnolls_vs_Orcs_by_DPRagan.jpg" border="0"></p>

(( Those are EXCELLENT. I love the way you do the relaxed head-fin things on the females, very cute, almost like long hair, adds extra femininity to the sometimes-lacking female iksar. *thumbs up!*

I hope they fix that with the new skeletal Models. </span>

Absolutely love the Mentor drawing. With the younger iskar. They are all great of course. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I really like how feminine they are too. I have an iskar, but the only way you'd know it's a she is that I made her pink!!

[Zabjade]

<p><span style="color: #00cc00">Thank you, I figured that Iksar females would have wide hips like mammals as the size of the eggs they have to pass while clutching is almost the size of a watermellon just softer <i>(Eggs would harden into a leathery shell once they are passed)</i> I lengthened the frillik's compared to the in game modles and even a developer commented on it <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=362872" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><i>(Look for the Female Iksar biology thread link here)</i> </a>I think they look very feminine even without breasts the Frilliks are the Iksar counterpart to those.</span></p><p><span style="color: #00cc00">For some odd reason however I gave Iksar thicker wrists then human <i>(the basic standard) </i>and for some reason it still looks ok if you look at the other sketches.</span></p>

<p>Iskars are very hard to draw andyouve done a great job.  Particularly the child one.  The Orc is fantastic!</p><p> Keep up the good work - lets see more soon!</p><p>Mori</p>

[Zabjade]

<p><span style="color: #00cc00">Here are a couple of more Iksar Monks one a Silent Fist Grandmaster <i>(She and her mate now a Paladin Betrayed to Qeynos)</i> the other one has a more odd background <i>(one a Human that someone preformed a sinster experiment involving transumtation and an Activated Petrified Iksar Eye) </i>Sorry about the background it was a quick throw-in. </span></p><p><img src="http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs16/f/2007/196/1/f/Iksar_Silent_Fist_Grandmaster_by_DPRagan.jpg" border="0"></p>

Love it!!

[Perzephone]

Great work <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> can't wait to see more

<p><span style="color: #00cc00;">My rendition of my Monk/Jeweler/Tinkerer prepping for a rescourse gathering Expadition. She is wearing that one outfit that you buy for guild status that seems to be aimed for tradeskillers.</span></p><p><span style="color: #00cc00;">Well at least how I visualize it anyway. might color this when I have the time.</span></p><p><img src="http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs21/f/2007/258/b/a/Klornie_Tradeskiller_by_DPRagan.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="350" height="693" /></p><p><span style="color: #00cc00;">Tried to come up with a troll female concept that while not butt ugly wasn't as atractive as a human, I don't think I did too well I might have over-exceeded (Is that even a word?) </span></p><p><span style="color: #00cc00;">Oh well, is it back to the drawing board on these two? Or would they make decent Female Orcs if I trim the ears</span></p><p><img src="http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs21/f/2007/260/a/8/Troll_gals_by_DPRagan.jpg" alt="" width="481" height="363" border="0" /></p>

Ogre, Iskar & Troll girls get no love from 99% of the artists, yet they must being doing something right... we keep getting more new members from the big & bad races. I really hope you keep working at the idea. I would love to see if a colored pencil rough would make them look a touch more Trollish, while keeping the female facial structure.

[Zabjade]

<span style="color: #00cc00;">Iksar are a specialty trolls are my hard race atm, for Ogre's take a barbarian template pale the skin red they eyes maybe add tusks.</span>

[Zabjade]

<p><span style="color: #00cc00;">Gasp!! Color heh!</span></p><p><img src="http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs20/f/2007/262/5/3/Klornie_Tradeskill__Color__by_DPRagan.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="684" border="0" /></p>

[Zabjade]

<p><span style="font-size: x-small;color: #00cc00;">Wow got the screen to actually load close to right today! Well I took another wack at female troll borrowed heavily from Fredrik KT Anderson (Note: This is giving credit, the guy is amazing with fantasy concepts) I also included an Ogre and a Barbarian one of the good races that tend to look rough, and threw in an Elf girl as a baseline for comparison.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;color: #00cc00;">Finally have the sketch postable so here it is one post down.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #00cc00;">It's been a while since I posted here, ah well, here I go.</span></p><p><span style="color: #00cc00;">Basicly this is a Fictional Guild (Page 1 so far) their semi-short Bio's are on my <a href="http://dpragan.deviantart.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">DA Account </a>some of them have too interesting of backgrounds for here. The reason is I've been dabbeling (Yet again) in doing a fancomic (hopefully it will get of the ground one day). </span></p><p><span style="color: #00cc00;">Greyland's Roughnecks (Page 1)</span></p><p><img src="http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs22/f/2007/315/d/a/Greyland__s_Roughnecks_1_by_DPRagan.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="650" height="719" /></p>

Can someone say concept artist? :p(but seriously why can't we have concept artists like you in the EQ2 department at SoE)drago.

[Zabjade]

<p><span style="color: #00cc00;">Thank you, I guess I am a concept artist with delusions of Webcomic-dom <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" width="15" height="15" /> well here are 2 more pages finishing out the Greyland's Roughnecks.
