Taphannus, Alexander, Nikolai (Patreon)

Here's some quickies for Alexander of a few characters we brainstormed for him! I've had some of this completed prior, and did some additional work on them in today's stream. I expect to do more work on these characters in the future. (example: a few doodles of the characters in shared scenes, more complete imagery of Nikolai, etc.)

Taphannus is a tribal elk, one who lives most of his life working as a blacksmith in a remote cabin. The most he usually wears is his blacksmith apron, and his traditional accessories, body paint, and ankle wraps as shown. I placed him next to Alexander's squire Nikolai, for obvious reasons. (He has a bit of fun with him when Alexander brings him along on extended visits.)

Here's a shot of Alexander in his standard armor, as well as a version with his ceremonial cloth. I added some scale reference of his lover Taphannus, and traveling squire Nikolai.

Enjoy!
