Description Alright, this is the LAST PC concept for Council of Thieves, I SWEAR.

My charismatic-as-fuck bard PC, 90% certain to see play for Council of Thieves (especially since I can probably fill in my need to make still more characters with a cohort via the Leadership feat if necessary). I'm excited to pick up some "free" skills with versatile performance (Wen is trained in acting, dance, and singing, which will net him six more skills by 12th level, including Wuxia-style Acrobatics and Fly stunts when he selects dance for versatilification). Not shown is his masterwork jian (a straight, double-edged longsword:[link] ), which might get added in later, once I've finalized the color scheme.

Wen blows in combat (or pretty much everything but acting: Perform (act) at 1st level is +12, while dance and sing are at +8), at least for now, but I hope that his allies will help keep him alive until his spell repertoire gets better, or at least until he can buy some armor. But I do have plans to put the bardic fascinate ability to good use if at least one PC is solid with Stealth.

Input appreciated on Wen's color scheme, specifically the purple middle thing and the gold accents. I'm leaning more towards a blue and silver, possibly- I did a test version of the sword with blue and dark gray which looks lovely if a bit monochromatic, but if people can see a possible splash of color that looks fitting, I'm all ears. I might try some jade colors sometime if they fit the gray robe, too. Lemme know what you guys think.

EDIT: Re-adjusted the colors of the clothes, and added the sword in the background. I do have a full version of the sword (well, the sword in its sheath) if folks are interested. Later versions will probably include the full sword, but he's not much of a fighter, so having the sword sheathed and mostly covered made the most sense for now.

No adjustments on the hair. Yet. Might come soonish.

Color scheme is spot-on, but there's something wrong with the hair that I just can't pinpoint.

I'm not super in love with how the end of the hair came out round instead of pointed. I might try to fix that. Does that sound like it?

That's part of it. I've been looking, and it seems that there isn't enough "give" in the hair throughout its length- almost like it's one solid block.

... sorry for being a nitpicker...

Nah, constructive criticism is important. I'll see what I can work out. I'm seriously considering recoloring his robe to something in the key of green, to match his silver and jade jewelry (not shown at the moment). When I try that out, I'll try redoing his hair (I did it at, like, 2 in the morning, and I was kinda eager to go to sleep, so I really rushed some of it).
