[LFA]

Hello! I want to request an illustration of the following and apologize for the writing of this message, I use google translator.

I wanted the illustration to have a thin Goliath, he has a reddish wig (you can tell it's a wig), he plays a bagpipe and two bongos hang from his back, he has a leather armor, magic surrounds him and some musical notes. You can choose a pose that you like best, I want to see a good imagination for the pose.

Greetings community.

[LFA] Gathea Weavebinder, 7'5" goliath conjuration wizard. Gathea stood out like a sore thumb growing up, but that didn't stop her. In fact, she later used this in her favor to get her name out and eventually became an apprentice of a famous wizard. She's outgoing, flirty and extremely stubborn.

[LFA] My character in a One Piece RPG i´m playing: Mondin Franklin

He´s a cyborg scienTists, with a little robot friend/son called Bug.

He goes for a crazy scientist vibe, so he got the laughs and everything.

He has two forms, one were he´s ugly and frail and the other were he´s strong and handsome. In both forms you cant really see his mechanic parts, although there´s a pretty big scar on the left side of his face, which looks like an shark's bite.

I did an pretty basic edit of his face, more details on the images.

Oh, and if anyone wants to color him, he´s a redhead and wears mostly white.

Thank you in advance, peace!
(also sorry about any grammar, i'm not really used to english)

Body type of each form

General clothing

Coat that rests on his shoulders

The edit i did for his face

Bug (his son, ignore him if you want idk)

[LFA] George, Loxodon Cleric

"Who am I? Mine is a name lost to time. A time that you would say is full only of wild beasts and the first of the sentient races to haul themselves from the muck. But that was a time of peace, before war and exclusion had become the left and right hands that the world had used to pull itself apart. Mine is a name so steeped in myth and mystery that your mind may hurl itself from your diminutive skull at its very utterance. But far be it from me to withhold from you that which you have demanded of me. My name.... is George."

Moodboard here

Backstory

George was frozen for centuries when a magical storm engulfed his mountain home, where he lived in solitude. When he was discovered and thawed, he found that his connection to the Old Gods had been disrupted. He discovered that the Old Gods no longer had followers - that the faithful now prayed to new, more "civilized" gods. George felt only distaste for the violent and self serving ways of the modern gods, so he began a quest to spread his forgotten beliefs and return the world to the old ways. The first step would have to be to travel to the bustling city of Fakarro, where either the notorious relic hunters or the mysterious Seekers of Untruths may yield some clue as to the disappearance of the divine beings from his past.

Appearance

George resembles a woolly mammoth rather than a modern elephant like most other loxodon. George is very tall, even among other loxodons, and has a very bulky, solid frame, and is covered all over in thick dark brown hair. His hair is fashioned into many small braids tipped in beads, small preserved bones, feathers, and metal charms. Because of how hairy he is these braids are all over his body, especially around and below his face. He has a particular love of jewelry, especially anything made of silver. His most valuable possessions are a pair of wide silver cuff bracelets that he had specially made to accommodate his substantial wirsts.

Equipment

Though his movement is unhampered, George walks with a cane. Though it would be a mighty and stout staff in the hands of a more modest sized creature, George's considerable bulk makes it look like a mere walking stick made of some sort of preserved wood. He wears no armor, preferring to brave the elements in a loose fitting robe and simple trousers. Whenever possible he is bare chested and bare footed.

[LFA] Burk and Ciara, an aberrant Grung and his familiar.

Burk is a Grung. he started in the lowest caste as a simple hunter (green) but wasn't content with hunting. he accepted a ritual of herbs and magic to change his skin color to join the blues as builders and domestic laborers, but the ritual left his toes and feet green and the rest became blue. he continued to challenge the social order, accepting challenging tasks and having the caste changing ritual performed again and again; long story short, after many years his magic bloomed, and he made deals with other-world patrons. he's now ranked in the elite castes.

Burk has skin like a rainbow from the toes to the face. green in the toes and webbing, blue up the lower legs, turning to purple at the thighs, shifting to red in the abdomen and arms and hands, blending to orange for the chest and shoulders, to a throat of gold. Black skin pattern areas throughout like the patterns found on poison dart tree frog.

has a simple leather strap harness holstering a couple of wands across the chest and shoulder, and forearm holsters with darts. thighs and shins are protected by simple studded or spiked leather pieces. a simple strip of cloth hangs down between his legs front and back for modesty. has a magic crystal staff. other adornments should be "Amazonian jungle themed".

He is accompanied by Ciara, his familiar, travel companion, and sometimes conscience, that takes the form of a sprite.
