Character Design: Briar Councillors and Council Guards (Line-Up)

This month's project was exploring some character designs for my boyfriend's Dungeon and Dragon's campaign. These are Briar's District Councillors and their personal bodyguards.

It was a lot of fun to explore the different cultural fashions of a city that is both a trade hub and one of the most magical cities in the campaign. There are influences from Tempergot's desert cultures, the Far Eastern aesthetics from Hob, and of course plenty of Fae Wild influences as there is a large population of elves living in the city. The two major organizations within Briar are both the Arcane Colleges and the Military (primarily Navy).
