Starting a new campaign. Making new characters. Plotting new backstories. Always a thrilling experience. Even more so, when one of the players is an artist accepting commissions.
Let me present you with my newest character, Gelree the Starling. A Half-Drow Bard, former Spy to House X'aronna, now hiding behind a false identity a traveling Bard and an occasional thief.
I fgured some additional information about the character are necessary. So here is a bit of information, I have on her so far.
She used to be an Agent of House X'aronna, which is a Drow Noble House. And while in the universe we play in, Drow aren't that matriarchal, they are still a bunch of crazy hedonists. Being a halfbreed meant more or less, being a lesser being. Trained in the arts of song, music and dance as well as espionage, stealth and thievery, Quile has been released onto the world as an agent to the Drow. For years she has been collecting intel and information, till an opportunity arose. Using the criminal contacts she made throughout the years of being a spy, she cut ties with the Drow. Slipping from town to town through a few smuggler caravans, till her trail ran cold, she reemerged as a traveling Bard, carrying on her lips stories of distant places. Sheding her luscious, long and curly hair and taking on the name of Gelree, the Starling.
Her attire is meant to represent the duality of her stage name. The outer layer representing the dark feathers of the starling bird, with white arrowlike tips. The inner side is lined with little glass beads, that will reflect light like little stars while she performs. Although on a daily basis, she can be usually seen a simple hooded attire with a high collar, which she can use to almost fully conceal her features, in case of bright sunlight. Wielding a rapier and a few mean words, she is so far a decent addition to her current party.
Thank you for the kind words. It has been a lot of fun, creating the character with the artist. I had an idea for her and the artist added her personal flair and flavor to her as well.
Really awesome! Would you mind sharing the cost for that piece since their commissions are open?
I have linked the forum to the artist herself. She might answer here, if she finds the time. You could always reach out to her through Instagram: Gelynele :)

Hello! I'm the artist of this piece. Hope you don't mind that I'm answering ;)
This piece cost our lovely Schanez $100 :) The price added up from the character being drawn in full (full-body), it's rendered out as much as I could handle currently and Gelree has quite a detailed outfit with her fancy lute and cape :D (the price is based on my current pricing aaaand that changes occasionally)
If you have any questions or would like to order a piece - you can find me on instagram @gelynele! or here if you feel like it :D
