Description Another character from the DnD campaign I run, this time a pivotal NPC.

Thomas Binkmann is a human merchant and member of the Golden League, an international confederation of merchant guilds and independent cities that has major stakes in all the great states in the known world at the time of the campaign.

Founder of the Binkmann Expedition, the company wich the party belongs to, Binkmann is a mild mannered man obsessed with efficiency and profit. He hired a band of misfits to retrieve objects from the abandoned city of Reva and he won't leave empty handed...

This time around, I tried to design and use my own textures and to use colors in both my shadows and lights. Also I learned something about folds. It was a great excercise overall!

This is amazing work. I admire your design, his colors and attire compliment each other perfectly. They're also particarly fitting for his backstory. A unique character concept!
I also can't help but love his moustache and glasses.
Your experimentation went well, the folds and shading in the clothes flow realistically.
Very well done.

Thanks for the really in-depth comment friend and for the kind words too! I am glad you think the design elements worked! I tried a bunch of designs and color palettes before coming up with this one, so glad you feel this way

Sure thing! I can imagine the thought processes and different trials you might've tried out, that can be the most difficult part at times.
I particularly liked his design because it wasn't the usual ideal look for someone of his nature - you put a unique twist on it, yet it wasn't so obscure to the point of the elements clashing. It all worked out well.
Anyhow you're welcome, and I look forward to your future designs!
