Description
Nobody steals Willard's pipe and gets away with it!Yeah, these are just random sketches of Trudy, some with her loving older brother Willard. They make a terrific duo of rogues in crime... I mean, rogues.
Maybe you D&D gamers can help me with something...
I'm wanting to make her a magicky rogue, but I also want her to specialize in trap making. So I've narrowed it down to two classes: Combat Trapsmith or Arcane Trickster? Combat Trapsmith sounds awesome, but the traps might not be so effective against high level monsters, even magic traps it seems (unless I'm overlooking something).
If you know anything about either class or have a better suggestion in picking the right prestige class (D&D specifically; I'm not ready to dive into Pathfinder yet), please let me know, and if you have no idea what I'm talking about, that's fine too.
Willard's a Master Thrower.

Thank you! I try to incorporate that into my facial expressions. Realistic references helps, though I only did that with a few of the sketches.

hahah So cute! I LOVE the image of Willard hitting Trudy on the head with his pipe! That's one of the funniest and cutest things I've seen in a long time!

Thank you! They are quite a team. I've never had characters with such amusing personalities before. With the Willard/Trudy sketch, I used actual facial references to make sure the expression was just right.

Yeah, I think you can tell you used real life references, as it really brought that scene to such realism. The expressions are wonderful! Go you!

Ok, it needs to be asked...is there any form of story or comic for Trudy?
I dig her personality, she would be my favorite character in your series. I officially fell in love at her pipin' hot pose at bottom left

Not in a comic, but I do use her for a role play game. I have fun playing as her and her brother Willard.

I don't know why, but when I draw halflings, I really want to give them more emotion in their faces. For some reason I have a soft side for halflings. ^_^

they are awfully cute tiny people.

Now there's a possibility. Thanks.

No problem. I can't think of a rogue or a ranger that shouldn't have Shadow Jaunt. :3

I love how her character is so clearly expressed in the poses! Nice work!

Thank you! I've been practicing expressions a lot lately. It's wonderful hearing that it's made a difference. I'm only more inspired to bring out more personality in my characters. ^_^

I deifinitely love the bottom right sketch, it's awesome!
Abot your question I would go for Arcane trickster, but I have to say that I have no idea about the campain you are playing so....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I'm guessing Arcane Trickster would be more useful. I just thought using traps in combat would be really, really cool.

I like the bottom-right pic the most. "Doo-dee-doo, casually picking a lock, dum-dee-dum,..."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol! Yeah, when you have small hands, lock picking is a cinch.

Cool art. Cute halfling.
As for your question, I'd go with Arcane Trickster.
Ranged Legerdemain is useful ability and not to mention great for laughs like unbuckling the bad guy's belt while he's doing his evil monologue.
Sneak Attack + Impromptu Sneak Attack + Ranged Touch Spells = Bad news for your opponents.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards Arcane Trickster actually. I've played one before, but I'm definitely going to play Trudy differently (learning from past mistakes).

You just convinced me with this drawing to download D&D Online. I have never played it, or the classic game, before.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, if you've never played before, I'd recommend starting as a human, just because they're the most adaptable race to whatever kind of character you want to make. Extra skill points and feats, too.

Started playing, but I got bored.

Who were you playing with? That makes a big difference. Some gamers can be kill-joys...

I really like your take on Halflings. You show alot of personality in these sketches.

A halfling without personality is like a fish without gills.
I'm glad you like my sketches.

Amazing sketches, you have such a variety of poses and expressions!
That's pretty cool!!

Thanks! I try. I'm working a page of Willard's expressions as well. Just head shots though.

Very well done! I love the poses and the outfit! Well done!

Great art! I like your style a lot. Just a quick question - is she an elf or a halfling?
I'm not at all familiar with the combat trapsmith, but from what I know, arcane trickster is pretty cool. I'm not sure how optimized it is, but it does have some neat features. I especially like their ability to pick locks from a range. Might really help out with traps in the right campaign!

Trudy and Willard are indeed halflings.
Of the two, Willard has the higher dexterity, but she's the more intelligent rogue. That's why they work so well together. I actually am leaning towards the arcane trickster so the duo will have better chances when encountering magic.

Willar Clocking trudy over the head with his pipe = Priceless. XD I'd just imagine some 'klock!'-ing noise being made when she gets hit. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And based on her expression, this probably isn't the first time she's taken his pipe (and not likely to be the last time either).

these are awesome! Ive never managed to sit down and get into D&D but its constantly inspiring me. I hope you have luck with your problem

Awww, thanks!! I'm glad you're inspired!! Is it cuz they're cute little halflings? XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heehee :3 actually its the great detail you put into them. And D&D overall inspires me because ive been working on a videogame I think should exist. I figured id take inspiration from D&D and many other well known games for help on it.
