Description Finally, Redcloak is done! He's a goblin cleric of a high level and Xykon's right hand in the comic Oots by Rich Burlew. I love this character and I felt I had to draw some fan art of him. Just a portrait and nothing fancy. Just like I did with Vaarsuvius from the same comic.

This is before he lost his eye. Obviously.

It's made with coloured pencils and it took me forever. (Not really, but quite some time anyway). I'm fairly happy with how it came out, especially since I was very near wrecking him there for a while as I totally failed with the mouth. I managed to fix it though... somewhat. The phylactery he's wearing (the necklace) is the thingy that Xykon uses to keep his soul in so that he'll be able to regenerate if his body is destroyed. It was a bit hard to make it white and shiny at the same time. I think it turned out all right though. I am aware of the less realistic shading. The light comes from... here and there. I forgot about it totally when I made the cloak at first. Oops. Anyway, I am also aware of the anatomical fails in his face. Like the angles of the nose and the eyebrows etc. But never mind those.

He might be looking younger and prettier than your average goblin here... that's because I like him too much to make him really ugly. Hehee...

My favourite character from my favourite webcomic! I really like this drawing of him. You made him look like a visionary, gazing into the distance - which is exactly as he should look.

My favourite too! Him and Roy! They are epic, smart and talky guys! I hope he shall survive the comic to the end!
And thank you very much! I'm glad you like my drawing of him.

Didn't a paladin sever his eye because he wouldn't stop torturing him?

YikYik In reply to Kermitthefrog223456 [2012-03-11 16:30:53 +0000 UTC]

Something like that. He was angry because Red had kept him prisoner for a long time and Xykon tortured him a lot. He tried to kill Red, but failed. Xykon wouldn't let him regenerate the eye because Red lost his phylactery.

I love Giant in the playground but i'd never thought about what those stick figures would look like in real.

Haha, I just can't keep my brain from thinking realistic! But I do love them like they are in stick figure form! But it's fun to see how they "might" look like in real.

I know them all too well already!

Avistew [2010-07-29 17:13:48 +0000 UTC]

Amazing! There is definitely something to be said about coloured pencils! I realise it took ages, but well worth it in my opinion.
I love the phylactery, it looks wonderful! It looks really precious, like it's nacre and gold or something. I can't say I would have noticed anything wrong with the mouth so it must be one of these things when only the artist can tell
The cloak also looks really nice. And if I didn't comment on it last time, his eyes are so... real!

All in all, a great piece. I love it.

Thank you so much!
Yes, it took... many hours. I didn't keep track. But it's still faster than painting. Glad you think so!

The phylactery was troublesome. I had no idea how to that at first! But I used light pink and grey to shade with and it turned out pretty nice I think. I'm very happy with it.

Well, the mouth was really bad there for a while. But I rubbed it all out and redrew it again so now it's much better! It was hard to get the colourpencils off though, and then it was hard to get it back again because the paper was now glossy and worn. Arrgh! But yes, I'm quite happy with it now. Glad you like how it turned out too!

Thank you again! I'm very happy the eyes. I shaded them with purple, it turned out very neat.

It's a great comic. Try it! I linked to it.

Very glad you like it! I use Staedtler watercolour pencils. Very good. But I don't use them for the watercolour effects, only like normal pencils. They're a bit softer and gets a less shiny surface than other kinds.

And I think I might have to try those colored pencils one day...they seem like they blend very well!8D

Do it! It's a great comic and the characters really grow on you! I love them all! Even the bad guys! *lol*

Yes they do, for colour pencils. On his skin I have used three greens and one blue, brown and black. Some little orange here and there too. As long as you don't press them too hard to the paper at the beginning.
