DnD Sketches: Nerwen
Nerwen
Before I met stregapez I had heard tell of a very talented gal from zerodan who was looking for a game. The game was in the early stages of development and we had only a handful of hopeful character concepts. When stregapez shot me her concept I was at first impressed by the promptness and secondly taken aback when I read into the history of that which is Nerwen. As I drew this at work, the beginning sketches, a co-worker saw it and stated, "Wow, she's hot... that...is a she, right?" I told him that guys generally don't have breasts but when I had thought about his reaction I realized that I was on the right path.
Nerwen is something of a bold defiance in a world of tragedy and horrible occurences. She stands up to it all and never waivers despite the overhwelming pressure for her to admit defeat, conform and submit to the ideas of others. She's lived longer than the rest of the party but obviously is no physically worse for wear. Nerwen seeks something that no one else will know and even she strives to define. Nerwen reminds me of a lot of my own qualities - the qualities of indecision and rebellion if for no other reason than to defy change. Nerwen is still seeking her purpse in the world and that is as noble a cause as any of us can hope for. Let's hope she hits her mark.
