Description The name of the account, it's in homage to lovecraft's Nitocris but another character. My Lolth blessed, six armed drow priestess Nitocris. She was a very interesting character, despite being female. She came to the surface on a raid and her detachment was attacked by weretigers, all of them either slaughtered and eaten or driven back into the caves with severe wounds. She and her males that survived healed up and realised to their dismay that they were now weretigers.

Being lycanthropes in d&d, their alignments almost completely shifted to the natural (non evil) alignment of their were-form. The first males to become good hearted were the fighters, and they were beaten severely for their insolent attitudes and suggestions that the group remain on the surface. Nitocris was unwilling to make the journey back to her city (Ched Nasad) and so the group remained on the surface until all of their alignments shifted on the following full moon. Her extra arms then fell off, and her clerical abilities were denied to her, as she was shunned by Lolth. All of them took up worship of the goddess Eilistraee.

Well she was cool while she was a lolth follower, at least! Anyway, here she is. Behold, she fights with a sharpened banana. Her skin isn't black because if I want to color this, I didn't want it very shaded with pencil. But yes, her hair is reddish, as are her eyes and her skin is obsidian.

The pose and face are really nice, and the extra arms fit with the proportions/anatomy
Nice job (too bad she lost them after the full moon...)

Thanks!

I was really miffed that she had to lose the arms, so I think if I get the chance I will probably try to play prequil Nitocris (as a non lycanthrope) in a d&d game sometime.

Wow how great minds think alike. You should look up my work titled "Ouija Faen Tlabbar" he is a flesh shaped Battle mage/Bladesinger. I to always thought more limbs would mean more attacks.
Great work on your Dark Elf. I really dig it.

Funny thing with Nitocris in this phase of her life is that she didn't start out with the feat that allows combat with multiple limbs to be great, so she used some of her arms for other things, like fixing her hair or writing a letter/reading a book while she was in combat. Made the other characters really feel like they couldn't multi-task. She was an awesome climber though!

Thanks for the comment! Sorry I was so late to reply, been a bit busy.

Don't sweat it I realize people have lives off the web. You do awesome work. Glad to see I ain't the only one who thinks a six armed drow is a good idea.
O.F.T.

Awesome. I like her face and the lowest set of arms. You make such fantasmically interesting characters.

I'd always commented that my character needed more attacks with those extra arms, but it wasn't in the cards as far as feats went (at least for a little while) so I made fun of the rules and said something to the effect of, "Oh, I guess she's just.. playing with her hair and clothes in the middle of combat, and that's why she's not using the extra arms to fight.."
