D&D The Guild of Crime - Artorias the Soul Knife Rogue

I'm super stoked to share the final version of this portrait! It represents a style experiment and new Fantasy Art direction for me.
Introducing Artorias, our D&D party's Soul Knife Rogue (played by my husband, Kevin).
New head of the Collbrande trade empire after his hostile takeover. Outwardly charming, inwardly growing more heartless by the day.
(His bad rolls haven't backed up his dramatic backstory yet tho. 🤭 )
Had a little pose help from the excellent photo reference packs of @ThePoseArchives
