Hi, I originally posted these under the Nighthunderchmen thread but decided to give it its own thread. These are typical monks found in monestaries throughout fantasy and modern times.   www.4shared.com/document/gVMVRCJi/Monks.htmlEnjoy. Dryw the Harper |

Your designs are great! You really got the right balance of figure anatomy and poses that I like to use. These will go a long way toward filling in all those requests I've had for villager types.

Actually, Jim, that's why I posted them. You were getting a lot of pressure for a lot of different types of background folk, things I've had lying around for a while (since I got to this site and started making figures with backs). I hoped it would free you up to do things you enjoyed doing.  Dryw the Harper. |

Awesome. Your more than welcome to copy, use or expand upon any of the villager figures I've already designed. I may get back to them at some point, but I'd rather be designing ARMY stuff first.
SO doing fantasy adventure for anyone is wide open.
I can definitely see you being able to do some commercial sets as well, once you refine your creation process more. I think like you were discussing in another topic. I think with a little photoshop work, the figures can really pop off the page. The coloring looks good now, but a little flat.
Selling though, requires a special kind of dedication though.

I'm not sure if i'm getting this correctly, but i think OneMonk focuses his efforts in armies for Wargames, so there's a wide range of possibilities you can work with. Like individual characters for RPGs, setting specific material, non-soldier characters (like what you are already doing), monsters and etc.
You can also work with genres and timelines not used by OneMonk and other companies, things like Steampunk, Cyberpunk or Wild West.

yeah. there is enough room for things to draw. like some camels or ethical stuff (chinese warriors, vikings or romans) or elementals and genasi. or duergar, kuo toa or drow. I hope you take the ball and make your great work commercial. I dont know if one can earn alot of money with this, but mine you get surely. (thumbs up) |

I completely forgotten about historical minis, because i don't play wargames (not by choice, i don't know anybody who plays them here in my city) and historical RPGs. |

Hi, Dryw. We haven't heard from you in a while. I hope you're well. I was thinking that I would be cool to have some evil monks. Here I'm thinking of the Church of Shar in the 4E Forgotten Realms. I picture these monks as both the ascetic, robed variety and the bald, martial arts types. All would be dressed in principally purple and black. Shadovar would be neat as well, with shining eyes and surrounded in a grey, swirling mist of shadow. Just ideas, if you're looking for inspiration. Thanks for all the fantastic figures you've already given us. Cheers, |

Hi, Afet. I'm still alive, thanks for asking. Things have gotten hectic at work and at home, and my own game has taken a very strange turn requiring me to do a lot of writing, so I've been a bit overwhelmed as of late. I had intended to do a small set of Pirate-types (and I do have the eight fronts inked) to round out the seafarers but with the current changes in my own game and the fact that the characters are back in the Osari Deserts made for little need for seafaring types and a vast need for rewriting a number of cities and settlements to reflect the major disaster that the characters allowed to occur (the opening of a Demon Gate into the Infernal Realm, which the campaign was supposed to be about the characters questing to stop the opening of the Gate but due to very strange decisions on the players' part, they failed to thwart the disaster). Now I've had to change my fantasy campaign into something almost like Fantasy-Post Apocolypse campaign and it is taking a bit of time doing the rewrites, giving me less time to create minis. Hopefully I'll get to finish the Pirates eventually. And then maybe I'll post an Imperfect Skiff/Fishing Boat I designed a few years back (much like the original Wagons, I know how to construct it but it has no instructions and needs the Fold Lines properly marked).  Dryw the Harper P.S. I use One Monk's Evil Cultists as evil monks currently, perhaps they can work for you in the mean time. |

Hi, Drw. I'm glad to hear that you're doing okay. You just can't trust those darn players. I have to say, kudos for not railroading them into making the choices you wanted, even though it means doing a lot more work. I'll see if I can recolor the evil cultist's robes. Cheers, |

Afet,
The quick and easy way is to simply print them normally with their red robes, and then use the lightest blue Crayola marker to go over the red, it turns the robes purple and leaves the shading fairly intact. Black trim can be done with a fine point Sharpie.
Good Luck,
Dryw the Harper

I personally don't like the wax from crayons, but watercolor markers can also give some very nice results.

Hence my suggestion of a Crayola "Marker." I use the watercolor ones to color the Imperfect People original art so I agree with you. The pencils get used only occasionally for highlighting or doing weapon blades (gray pencil). Dryw the Harper |
