#2 Challenge:
Gorion
Deadline: Friday, 23rd March
Post your piece in this topic!


Don't you think it's ridiculous that there is almost no fanart of Gorion, [CHARNAME]'s and Imoen's tragic but heroic father figure? This is something we must change! Gorion has no official portraits, so once again our challenge gives you a lot of freedom and room for imagination.

Just like last week, medium is free! We already saw pencil sketches and drawings, sprites and computer drawn and colored art. Fear not, potential participants - anything goes, as long as it's your own. This is not a contest, nobody wins and nobody loses, so you don't have to be ashamed of your supposed lousy drawing skills!

Last week we had well over a dozen participants - I'm hoping that Gorion will get atleast as many illustrations!

EDIT: Thank you everyone for participating! This challenge is now closed but comments are still welcome here.

Okay all - time to start submitting to the Gorion challenge! I'm really hoping to have some time to do a sketch of him this week - Gorion is one of my favourite characters!

Uh. Yeah. Like I said. MS Paint. :P

Here's an old one. Notice some similarities between BG and another popular series...?

That thing on Gorion's face is a beard. A... very dense beard. <_<

I always thought of Gorion to be that old happy-go-lucky-because-Im-powerful kind of wizard. So here's a pretty sprite. Btw, the above two comics are too funny XD

Hi all,

Well here comes my view on Gorion, it is tiresome to paint with the mouse. I dream for a day when I can afford a tablet wacom. But the beauty in drawing is that no expensive tools is a must to create a image. It should be enough with just a simple pencil and a paper.

Poor Gorion. He looks like he has a black eye. :(

Indeed he has a black eye, old and weary and worried on what is to be. No actually it is due to that it isnīt finished yet. And donīt be afraid to mention such things, I wont bite you. :devil:
