Bringing Children’s Character Creations to life
Please find below all the commission I have done to date for the company Asgardian Adventures.
Year 5/6 Creative Writing Character Commissions
I was hired weekly under the company Asgardian Adventures to teach character design and drawing practice to children in years 5 and 6 ranging from the ages of 9 to 11. Alongside this, the children were practicing their creative writing. Their goal was to improve their vocabulary and descriptive writing. They were tasked with describing an original character in the style of the fantasy roleplay game ‘Dungeons and Dragons’. As a reward for the children, the ones who had the most excitement and passion for this project had their characters drawn professionally by myself. Below are the designs along with the written descriptions for the characters. I have not included the children’s real names however I have added the children’s chosen character names.

Kriv
Who are you?
My name is Kriv, I am a Dragonborn paladin. When I became a paladin I chose to worship Heion, the god of chaos, I worship him by going to war for my order and conquering other places.
I am covered in matte black scales from the top of my head to the bottom of my spiky tail, my eyes stand out against my scales as they are ultramarine blue, and my most prominent feature is my jaw and snout, it is quite long ending in a point with rows of razor-sharp teeth, I can breathe blue flames when threatened and incinerate my enemies to ashes.
What equipment do you have?
I wear a baggy black medieval-style shirt and matching trousers when out and about, however, I am usually wearing my raven black plate armour which has small hints of blue across it and the helmet that fits me perfectly with a Y shape cut out of the front so people can see the glow of my eyes.
At my hip I keep my trusty shortsword, I've bound the grip with an ultramarine dyed cloth to match my eyes but the blade itself is pitch black like my scales. I also carry my shield at all times, It is distinct as the centre has an eye-shaped symbol with three swords coming out of both sides and blue flames behind it.
• For the snout/mouth imagine Charizard but with a dragonborn jaw.
• I have attached photos for reference images.

Brooks Gasp Wade Haven Tear
Who are you?
My name is Brooks Gasp Wade Haven Tear, I am a half-water Genasi fighter. Growing up I was trained by my father, an air Genasi monk who taught me many skills known to our tribe, he taught me how to fight and trained me in the use of weapons, hand to hand combat, bow and arrows, polestaff and other varieties of blades.
My clan lives in a castle called Clarn Oakwell, from what we know it was built hundreds of years ago and then somehow became abandoned. In the courtyard there is a large portal leading to the elemental plane of water, magic from the portal leaks through into our world changing my people and the nature around us.
The first thing people notice about me is my V-shaped face, hourglass body figure and dark golden brown skin colour. I have long curly hair down to my hips styled like French bangs, they start off crimson at the top, transitioning into Ferrari red in the middle and blending into blush red at the bottom. My eyes are rare even with people of my clan, the pupils are sky blue in colour, and the iris is arctic blue before being surrounded by a thin line of sky blue outlining my iris. I have a slash scar on my left arm starting at my wrist and going 1/3 of the way down to my elbow that I got whilst I was training a few years back.
What equipment do you have?
I wear traditional monk clothing made specifically for me by members of my tribe, a sleeveless shirt with a mandarin collar that clips shut over my right shoulder, I keep a light brown fleece lined jumper tied around my waist until the night comes when I bundle up for warmth, baggy royal blue trousers and boots similar to my jumper made of brown leather and lined with white fleece.
I always wear my royal blue coloured handwraps as they are my go to weapon in fighting and I have trained using them for many years, however, when my opponents are able to stay out of my reach I have an icy blue coloured bow on my back with a variety of arrows to help me close the distance.

Turquoise
Who are you?
My name is Turquoise, I am an Earth Genasi Monk. Being an earth genasi means there is a portal to the elemental plane of earth in the middle of my home village Lakeforest. Because I grew up next to this I was born with magical gifts, my parents explained them to me and tried to help me understand them, I am able to live for hundreds of years and I can slightly communicate with plants and animals.
I have four brothers, two are older than me and they are Limestone and Zircon at 305 years old, myself at 300 years old and my two younger brothers Orogeny and Foreland who are 295 years old. We grew up in an abandoned wizard laboratory that became my family’s home for many years, we had a good lifestyle living amongst other townsfolk and all of my friends, but over time we became victims of constant raiding by a group called The Life Takers.
This caused many people to move away and find a new home leaving the village weaker and with less people to defend it, one night during a rainstorm The Life Takers attacked in force and sadly my parents were killed helping the people of the village including me and my brother’s hide in a secret chamber built under our family home with a group of 20 villagers. We hid here for what felt like days but was really only 13 hours, as we all passed into slumber we woke up to find ourselves somewhere else, surrounded by crystals of all shapes, sizes and colours.
What equipment do you have?
I wear navy blue studded leather armour, each of the rivets are painted splash white and around my legs is a violet purple cloth. I keep my hands and feet wrapped in navy blue cloth and in-between my fingers I wield my knuckle axes, they are the perfect tool for my fast paced attacks.
I always travel with my trusty pet Slinkster a black night leopard gecko, he often rides on my shoulder as we travel from place to place.
• Navy blue Mohawk hair, Mesomorph body style, Round face, Honey Skin Tone

Kammille
Who are you?
My name is Kammille. I am a half-elf warlock. Being a warlock means having special powers given to me by a magical lynx called Seena. She has given me a few spells and the ability to camouflage myself and others. I gained these powers after Seena bit me on my wrist and left a lightning strike-shaped tattoo going down from my palm eight centimetres.
My hair is brunette, usually worn in dutch braids from the top of my head, with pink bangs coming down just over my eyes. I have a rare feature called heterochromia, meaning I have two different coloured eyes my left eye is taffy pink and my right eye is coral. (Hourglass figure, diamond shaped face, beige skin one 5ft 5.)
What equipment do you have?
I wear my magical cloak of shimmers, it is sparkly black as if looking at the night sky, with pink edges and two buttons that connect around my shoulders, when I am attacked it can glow to distract enemies. Underneath that, I wear a white t-shirt tucked into my black jeans and black leather boots that come halfway up to my knees.
At my side I keep my trust shortsword, I bound the grip with pink dyed cloth to make it stand out against the primary red blade it is connected too. I also have my trusty friend Widow, he is my pet crow whose eyes glow pink like my cloak.
• For sword idea search google for Ebony Malice Sword you should find an image that has it on the left and a sword titled Coral Blade next to it.
• When the kids have asked for bangs they mean with the middle parting.

As her mother lay recovering from childbirth their father had gone off to find something, Gwynnestry and Elenwy took their new sister to put her to bed but as they walked away they heard a horrible sound. A large metal elemental was looming over their mother and behind it her father seemed to be controlling the elemental, the last thing they heard was their mother screaming at them to run away.
They did exactly that, they ran and ran these two young girls of only 12/7 years of age until eventually they found themselves in the small village of Crystalwish. The people of
Crystalwish found the scene of the murder and managed to overpower and arrest their father locking him away in a terrible dungeon in the capital city.

Using her new found skills Elenwy worked alongside Safgalynn healing people, creating new magic and enchanting magical items as a way to repay Safgalynn for looking after them.
It wasn’t long after they were taken in that the village came under attack by a group of bandits who began killing and burning homes, Elenwy used her magical powers to protect her siblings however was injured during the fighting and now has a slash scar going from the corner of her right eye across her nose to the corner of left lip.
Elenwy left her home in Crystalwish recently after finding a special place alongside a nearby river where magic seemed to be effecting the local plantlife, after a few days she discovered there was an underground temple she named The House of Monuments as it was full of stone carved statues and things carved into the walls.
