EDIT: Finished up what was previously only lineart! Except for the teaser shot, that one will be finalized later today and given its own post ;)

To my surprise, a lot of people have requested more Izzantar (drow elf) and Grodderick (half-orc) recently, so I spent my sunday revisiting these fellas. If you don't know, these are both characters from my fic, "A Novel Experience"! Izzantar is a stuck-up, somewhat vulgar mercenary drow who ends up on the surface by happenstance and Grodderick is just a chill dude who likes to smoke wizard weed and reflect on life. I tend to depict Izzantar years in the future more often than not, hence why his hair is longer in most of these.

Izzantar goes by any pronouns.

Liubov Ricci

godiva hunt

Can I ask if there's a story behind izzantar's pronouns? Drow are typically pretty hardcore about gender is why I ask, unless they're just a little rebel and doesn't care, which is also cool

Sam van Vugt

An Orc AND a drow?! Now you're just trying to kill me 🥵

YESSS CANT WAIT TO SEE THE GRODDERICK’S LADDER PIERCINGGGGG

MEANBOSS

Izzantar "happily" fullfills a male role 100% of the time for as long as he operates in the underdark, and under drow culture. Later in life he becomes a deserter and lives on the surface, where he lets his hair grow out and wears a different type of fashion. Because of that he is often mistaken for a female drow which ends up being beneficial to his survival. As far as his personal relationship to gender goes, he would probably be non-binary by our standards, though he doesn't apply any labels to himself.

God I love these guys.

Vic

just throwing it out there: if grod needs a personal chest hair groomer - i am available for very reasonable rates.

Divinsymnia

Izzantar the grumpy diva !

I’ve been staring at Izzy in the Drow armor. I have a drow OC and I struggle with designing her armor. If I add too much spider web detail she looks like spiderman 💀 and if I don’t add enough it looks like plain leather armor (can’t have that!) But I love the detail on Izzantar’s arm guards where it looks like spider eyes. I’d love to see a post of your design breakdown process for something like that! Your art is a huge inspiration to me <3

Oina

We love a twink and his orc king 😔

MEANBOSS

Thank you so much! I understand the struggle, I feel like when it comes to armor you need to figure out what's a priority in the rendering and keep the rest of it fairly simple. Create a lot of "illusion of detail" with faded, sketchy lines but don't go overboard with it. The armor here actually didn't take much thought at all, I just did something vaguely inspired by what I remembered from the in-game armor 😂 you can maybe tell that I'm mostly focusing on the rendered texture (that oil-slik leather gloss) and the layering of the pieces, and everything else is just kind of haphazard.

Halla Ribar

I noticed the similarities from the in game armor! but the little changes you made make it just unique enough, even if it’s subtle. I think I over complicate it by trying to do too much to make it different. But if it’s not broke, don’t fix it—just tweak it! Thanks for the reply:) I just need to get over my rendering fears and then maybe I can cook 😫

steelsp

They are so cute ayyy i loveee😭😭😭😭

steelsp

I am obsessed with Izzy's long hair

LuinenBluewater

All this Izzy and Grod content makes me incredibly happy, I love them 🥹 And, as always, your art is super inspiring, now I'm going to draw for the rest of the evening, ty 🫡

MEANBOSS

Hope that you had a productive evening!
