ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Hey everyone! I've been playing TOME for a while now, and a little bit ago I started doing some TOME-Themed commissions for people. I tried this thread a while back but I figured now that I have a few more TOME classes shown, they'd be worth taking a look at. If you're interested in getting a character drawn, feel free to contact me and I'll give you a quote!

so far the only people who have gotten commissions are of the anthropomorphic fandom, so please keep an open mind while you view these. That being said, these are all SFW, so no worries.
I'm posting these in order from earlier to latest, so for those who are interested they can get a view of how the detailing and coloring has progressed.

If you liked any of these, be sure to contact me for commissions! We can't let others get all the fun drawings, can we?
(in my lineup I currently have an Archmage, a Sun Paladin, and a Stone Warden)


I've also been kicking around the idea to do some class intro comics, that are just a single comic page or two for each class - thought it'd be fun. I have a few classes intros thought out, also want to get some feedback on those - see if maybe that'd be something fun to add to the character creation menu.

For example, I was thinking something like this:

Bulwark: "My father was a soldier. Born to protect, born to die. And he did... but not before he taught me all he knew. He told me the world is a dark place, a place of war and suffering. I saw that firsthand my first day as a guardsmen. But I've grown strong, and I see now what path lies before me. This world... these people... need a protector. I shall be that protector. I shall be the rock upon which the seas of fate dissapate, the bulwark upon which rest the hopes for peace of all fair peoples. This is my Oath. This is my destiny.
When the horrors of the world come... I shall be here. I shall not falter."

Or, the more succinct Cursed:
Panel1: A stone corridor, filled with corpses.
Panel2: A mess hall, also filled with corpses. A single figure sits at a table, eating.
Panel3: As he eats, a sound. Footsteps. He pauses.
Panel4: A small smile creeps over his face as he puts down his food.
Panel5: He walks from the hall, a dark figure silhouetted against the torchlight. "Prey..." he chuckles to himself.

I have some in the works for the Archmage, Berserker, Marauder, Mindslayer, Archer, Doomed, Summoner, Solipsist, Temporal Warden, and the Paradox Mage.
Sound like a fun idea?

Well, that'd be certainly most amazing if you could draw a character or two in tome style so that they could be used as splashscreens for the game itself.

I concur, I really like thsoe alchemist ones and the temporal mage. Could you try with lore races please ?

They were commissions, so presumably the artist'd do them as lore races if commissioned to do so.

I would absolutely do lore races, but these were all paid commissions. I'd be more than happy to throw up some sweet-ass ghouls and yeeks, but the commissioners are fond of their own characters :p

I've currently got a list of commissions I need to work through, but if I find some spare time I plan on doing something for my beloved mindslayers and speed berserkers!

These are really good.

You haven't drawn nearly enough of the things I made, though !

So he needs to draw more artifacts? *grins* That's what I know you from anyway. Which classes were you responsible for? Said it before swoosh, I love the shield on that bulwark. Someone who understands that a shield isn't some dinky piece of wood/metal strapped to a wrist, it's something significant in size. Doubly so for the very defensive minded Bulwark. Remember folks, you can't make a shield wall with only a buckler.

Haven't made any classes, but I've made a fair few monsters. Off the top of my head, the elemental undead uniques, blade horrors, oozing horrors, umbral horrors, all the aquatic horrors in the alternate nur...

Would love to see someone commit the elemental undead uniques to full artwork

Blade horror could be quite fun to see in artwork.

Elemental undead uniques? Should that sound familiar too me? I don't seem to recall anything like that in game. (Or is that an SVN recently added thing?)

The Rotting Titan, Heavy Sentinel, Arch Zephyr, Glacial Legion, and Void Spectre are the elemental undead. They're exclusive to Rak'Shor Pride, though previously could appear anywhere their base undead type could.

I seem to remember a rotting titan somewhere. Maybe I have seen that one. I shall have to investigate Rakshor more extensively on future runs.

They're quite rare but if you're (un)lucky you'll hopefully run into one or two of them.

Cool pics, but you have some weird commissioners :P

In my line of work Grey, you can't really afford to judge people. Literally. This is how I've been paying my rent :I

I think if there will be more tome4 fanart, it'd be cool to add an option to show them randomly on load screens. They may be sometimes a little out of general tome style, so I think it's reasonable to make it an option, but personally I'd find it really cool to watch as other artists see the game.
