I wasn’t going to write anything about this drawing, but I had to, as the word “flänsklubba” (the old Swedish word for this type of mace) doesn’t return any decent results on Google. There are two Swedish words for this type of weapon, actually, and they’re both really cool:
- Flänsklubba translates into “flanged club”
- “Hjälmkrossare” translates into “helmet crusher”
In any case, I don’t draw a lot of characters, but it’s something I would like to get better at, so I just recently started practising it. This fellow is supposed to be some type of grizzled mercenary veteran. You could use him as a hireling or NPC in your games. I hope you enjoy the drawing!
Hey Niklas
Nice blog you’re got here. I’ve been searcing for this kind of blog with tutorials for a while, and just found you.
As a GM I do a bit of sketching myself, but as a beginner. I’m having trouble with character drawings (like this one) and landscape drawings.
If you’d make a tutorial on those two id would be really useful.
I really liked it. This weapon is great, I really like your maps, I use the “Go to Sleep Arthur” map for one-shots, and I’m using Dunkelmoor as a base and I’m really enjoying it. Having only 27 houses and about 135 people helped me A LOT to organize my first campaign as a game master. God bless you!
I’m happy you enjoy it!
Please contact me. Someone is stealing your artwork and making $ selling shirts w/the imagery on them. It really bums me out because I want one so bad but I cannot tolerate thievery of any sort, particularly creative art.
