Téah (PC portrait)
Graphite on paper
2014

Téah is my new Pathfinder character for the Kingmaker campaign path, replacing Nyala of Navareen , who, despite being one of my favorite characters, wasn't really working with the current mostly neutral party dynamic. Téah (who's name is derived from "Galatea," the statue-made-flesh from the Pygmalion myth), is a female Android, currently brawler 1/gunslinger 12, on the run from the Technic League in nearby Numeria. I've always had an interest in A.I. characters, and the androids' Emotionless quality makes for some challenging roleplaying. Personally, I'd prefer it if they were a little more artificial and a little less just "weird humans with no parents and watery blood," but it'll do.)

In this drawing, she is fresh from Numeria, a land with access to high-tech, albeit ancient, technology, so she still resembles a more pure sci-fi character. I imagine as the campaign progresses through the final two modules, some of her gear will get replaced with more traditional fantasy stuff. The arc rifle is, unfortunately, a bit overlarge here. I intended it to look more like a high-tech musket in overall size and length, but got a bit carried away and didn't realize how large I'd actually made it until it was done. It still works, though. Not pictured: her buffering cap, which appears as a traditional black tricorn hat, and her beneficial bandolier.

BTW: I'm interested in having this piece digitally colored. If you're a professional-level digital colorist and interested in giving this piece a spin, please shoot me a note. Thanks!

Update: I am no longer playing this character in Kingmaker as it turns out that Nyala, being connected to the fey, is more thematically appropriate for the final module. Téah has, in turn, departed for parts (and future campaigns) unknown.
