Crone of the Western Wood Character Design Study

With the script for the first issue of our comic nearing completion, I thought it prudent to do some final character design studies and sketches and take this chance to introduce the main players for the first chapter. This is design study three of four.

The Crone of Western Wood has long since left her coven in the Chasm of the Deep. Whether outcast or refugee, she has lived in solitude within the Blighted Woods for decades. Her true age is unknown, but her storied history and unique arcane skills are well known to generations of Pathfinders. Laumé is searching her out, in need of information and a special brew that only the Crone can provide.

This piece was sketched in Procreate using an iPad Pro. It presents original characters, creatures, and the world of In the Shadow of the Ancients. ItSotA is a comic project that I am working on with my husband, based on a tabletop roleplaying game campaign we ran over the course of years. It was a multifaceted saga, that spanned multiple groups of players and branching storylines, and original adventures. We utilized Dungeons & Dragons, Dungeon World, Torchbearer, and Pathfinder.
