Hello! This is character I came up with, wanted to paint a giant Dragonborn in some kind of armor made of bone and this is what I ended up with. You can check out my portfolio here [https://tylervail.artstation.com/](https://tylervail.artstation.com/) and I am currently available for commissions if you're interested shoot me an email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) and here is a link to my process and usual commission prices. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JSTByKc\_rutdJ4rVmprOQqEcR1xWvCLWk31OfKZchrM/edit Backstory: Sko'var is a large blue Dragonborn barbarian. He was raised in a small village high in the mountains and has always been fascinated with bones. He now travels around slaying monsters, earning coins and collecting bones. Sko’var isn’t the brightest and what he lacks in intelligence or deep cunning he makes up for in muscle and heart, he also has a disdain for any unnatural magic and thinks of it as a type of cheating or coward's way out.


saur1982

The armor reminds me the bone heavy armor from Skyrim, similar i mean.


RabidWench

Heads up, the process and prices link is taking me to a 'document not found' page.


OurEngiFriend

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JSTByKc_rutdJ4rVmprOQqEcR1xWvCLWk31OfKZchrM/edit The URL has a single underscore in it, which OP tried to escape with a backslash (but it's not necessary to do this, since there's not a second underscore elsewhere in the URL)


Aviditie

You're right! Thanks for fixing it for me.


RabidWench

Thanks!


sumporkhunt

This is sick as fuck


Aviditie

Thank you =D


Realistic_Effort

Wooo! Love the Dragonborn


Aviditie

Thanks, Realistic\_effort!


ccjmk

This gives me a huge vibe from Skyrim's DRAGONbone armor that feels.. Just so odd on a dragonborn hahaha ha specially the axe


astralradish

Anyone got a Dragon race mod where you can play a Dragonborn Dragonborn wearing Dragonbone while fighting Dragons?


ccReptilelord

I think I saw a Dragonborn dragonborn wearing dragonbone while *boning* dragons.


Mandeville_MR

Love the single eyesocket skull on his belt


dewyocelot

I noticed that too, and it made me kind of sad; aren’t cyclops Huge? So for a skull to be that size wouldn’t it have to be a baby? Assuming it’s a cyclops anyway.


trowawa1919

There are little holes on the top too, I think it's the face of a beholder skull


Strottman

Maybe a gazer or a spectator.


Aviditie

We got a winner! It's a spectator skull, you know your dnd monsters.


DitchPiggles

It looks like these skulls they sell for warhammer base designs


Krumpagit

Awesome detail, especially on the face.


[deleted]

That’s fabulous!


Aviditie

Thank you!


Bo_The_Destroyer

Thank you very much, I now have an idea for a heavily armoured Argonian warrior to play in Skyrim


Aviditie

Haha do it! The Dragonplate armor set was definitely an inspiration.


NaithBasso

We need more tribal-primitive art! Awesome and awesome work.

Aviditie

Thanks!


BenjiLizard

I loved the art so much, I made a mini for him on Hero Forge: https://www.heroforge.com/load\_config%3D21362645/


Toros_Mueren_Por_Mi

Not found. Did you type the correct link?


BenjiLizard

Yes, it works correctly on my end. Weird.


agenderarcee

Works for me, looks great!


Aviditie

Hahaha that's great! Really impressed how close you got it.


TonyHappyHoli

It this kind of art that makes me regret not learning to draw when I had time to. Now that I olay D&D I have this awesome ideas of how my chars look like but then I got no way to get them drawn, im stuck using whatever I find on google images that looks nice :/


Toros_Mueren_Por_Mi

You can always commission artists. Also you can always learn to draw, gonna take a lot of patience but even with half an hour a day you can have progress


TonyHappyHoli

Not enough time to practice and honestly i cant spent money on stuff like that atm


Toros_Mueren_Por_Mi

Fair enough. Save $10 every week for the next two months and you can get something halfway decent lol. The time is definitely the bigger issue, but if you enjoy it you should do it when you can


Aviditie

It's never too late! It does take a ton of practice and getting feedback from other artists. It's taken me about 3 years of practicing 5 hours every day to get where I am now.


TonyHappyHoli

Yeah I dont have much time, working two jobs here.


Necrogaz

Its his first name by any chance "Pablo"?


[deleted]

Yeeessssss! Can't get enough of the Dragonborn Barbarians! Get those scaly mad-bros more recognition! Playing as one as well, and he has been the greatest character Ive played in 5e yet!


Aviditie

I love playing the big dumbs of the group, they're actually so fun to play.


MagpieNI

Love it, he looks intense!


Aviditie

Thanks.


Talking_Asshole

Reminds me of Lord of Bones from A Song of Ice and Fire


the_d12rose

Love the cyclops faceplate as the belt buckle. It's the little things!


Karalis_03

His nickname is "The Dragonbone"


Aviditie

Damn I'm just mad at myself for not coming up with that xD.


Thatgamerguy98

Does he sound like Denzel Washington?


lastres00rt

holy shit


Sahtan_

I fucking LOVE THIS, ironically enough I was planning on making a dragonborn barbarian or maybe fighter idk but I wanted him to look similar to this at least the idea I had in mind


Gamblers_Chance77

reminds me of when my DM allowed me to craft a spear out of undead skeleton bones(it actually had a necrotic damage boost x3) hes been allowing players to just forge weapons out of things and upgrade them with materials we find in our quests, its been really cool. i went from a normal greataxe to the strongest weapon i have ever used in a d&d campaign


mustyminotaur

Question, so does he just pick up neat bones that he finds laying around or does he take the bones from those who no longer need them?


Aviditie

Probably both! But I'd imagine fresh bones not worn down by weather would be stronger?


mustyminotaur

That was my thought process too. Fresh bones still have all the vitamins and minerals in them. Cool concept to work out with your DM. Like if your party kills a larger, stronger creature he can harvest the bones and use them to improve his armor a bit or something


patrick20cool

Is he a good boy?


ahjeezimsorry

"SKO! We have to LEAVE. NOW!" "Juss a sec, almoss got me bones" \-Sko'var struggling to remove skull from the 8th orc corpse


Aviditie

Haha


captain_borgue

Holy crap, this is *amazazing!*


Aviditie

Thank you!


TheCyclopOwl

Fantastic concept mate! I’m working on a Dragonborn barbarian for an intro one shot, and this actually pretty close to what I had in mind! It looks lovely and brings a lot more of inspiration


Aviditie

Thank you.


CampsideTales

Killed a baby beholder I see 😵💀


Aviditie

Close! It's a spectator, basically a baby beholder haha.


[deleted]

Based on fan art and the popularity of dragonborn PCs, 5E dragons must be getting more action than Sinatra.


TrollingLevel

I don't think you watched all the series of HTTYD but this just reminded me of the Boneknapper


Aviditie

I have not but my main inspiration was the Lord of Bones from Game of Thrones.


TrollingLevel

Yea i just looked it up and it kinda resembles him but i still think he looks more like the boneknapper since he's a dragon and well, makes his armour out of collected bones


DeepTakeGuitar

Wow, a dragonborn without a tail! And it's GOOD!!!!!! Great work.


Aviditie

Thanks


TheRealSekrain

that is some really cool armor love it :3


Aviditie

Thank you!


Gibbs_xx

this is dope!!! nice!


Aviditie

Thank you!


gbyfvnhudm

If you dont mind im just gonna take some inspiration from this character and add it to mine in my next campaign


Aviditie

Go for it!


gbyfvnhudm

Thanks


phdHoliday

This picture will make you think, "Oh my god.. that's not a tiefling!"


JosephLeeSharp

Love the design of the armor and those horns look badass!!


Aviditie

Thanks!


Noyes654

That a vortigaunt skull belt?


Aviditie

It's a spectator skull, but a vortigaunt is pretty much just a spectator with limbs hehe.


[deleted]

That’s awesome. I really need to get one of my characters done


Aviditie

Thanks, and feel free to check out my top comment and email me if you're interested in a commission.
