Kobolds

Kobolds! For a DnD campaign, Im gonna put up new stuff as they come through.

Head study.

Nice I'm no good judge at this but to my concern kobolds are those who work at Gringots in Harry Potter? lol well atleast they are called like that in Dutch

Cheerios, Chandni

Kobolds are dog/lizardlike, Sponson, not piglike.

Love Hog Man - really detailed!

Kobolds are Goblins, so we're all wrong.
Kobold comes from Kobalt, which means goblin in German.

Dog/lizard like are Skaven to me.

They can be applied to many things. Since they dont exist the artist can impress what ever they think they are....

They look too muscly to be Kobolds for me -- my experience comes solely from such games as Baldur's Gate, but they're usually spindly and small, and armed with small spears and bows. Of course, I can understand if you have a different image of them.

In D&D-age, Kobolds aren't Goblins though. There's a clear distinction -- otherwise why have both? Name derivation doesn't mean they're the same thing. I tend to assume Kobolds are like mine-Goblins, sort of related to Goblins, like a cousin, but not the same.

Anyway -- on to the drawings (I think it's cool you do drawings for D&D campaigns, btw, if only my group had a talented artists) -- I love the first one, great lines and nice shading. The candle idea is a little strange, but still -- I'm guessing that's for the mines/being underground?

The second looks a bit odd -- his left leg is stiking too far forward for me, and for a Kobold (that appears to be) walking forward, he seems to be leaning back too much.

Nice, but i'm with Jack on this one, they seem a little too muscly; but that is for your own interpretation of what they should look like. From the games i've played, they're usually smaller thinner goblin looking creatures, yet when they're described in the books its different (it's open for interpretation).

This is cool, drawings for D&D campaigns, i'd do it except for the fact, no one i know plays D&D anymore (weep).

the second picture (the face) looks a little to piggish.

The third looks a little ogre-ish.

Woot studies are good, i should probably do some more.

What's up with the candles on their heads? xD

You no take candle!

Kobolds often work in mines, so they need the candle as a source of light.


Maybe Ill put some kerosene on the ground, just incase the Kobold so happens to die and the candle falls in.

I'm drawing my sources from different areas. Mainly Warcraft, but as I said, I'm still tinkering with my ideas and others.

WEEDY IT IS

You no take candle!

Hehe! I love the candles! It's so entertaining. *giggles at the thought of clumsy goblins with candles on their heads*
