Reymond was created for a commission. You can read about Eladrin here: Eladrin - DND 5th Edition (they’re a really interesting Dungeons and Dragons race!)
Here is my post on Instagram too.
You can view the time lapse for him below:
I gathered some references and the info from the commissioner to create 3 sketches for his face and pose. Reymond’s clothing and hairstyle were already set in place from the commissioner’s reference images and description
(The final image uses the pose from sketch 3 with the face from sketch 1)
There were some important details such as the barrel pin for his cape, the pocketwatch, book, and pauldron. Reymond spent a lot of time living among dwarves so his accessories, primarily his book and armor, were inspired by more angular designs. Whereas his pocketwatch was hand-crafted by his brother in the land of fey.
I especially enjoyed adding more winter-y elements like his icy beard and hair!
