Eclipse 01

More character design for the Roan RPG. Another of the characters that will be appearing in the large double page interior illustration is the nocturne mare Eclipse.

    Eclipse does not have the most likeable personality. She has a chip about as big as a mountain on her shoulder and is most brash in expressing her opinions. Diplomacy is not her strong suit, accurate, suppressive fire is. She's the heavy firepower expert of this gallant little band of adventurers.

    She likes Powder Keg 01 because they have similar opinions about how to solve problems. She thinks that Professor Foot Note 01 is a good employer because he always pays top dollar and doesn't quibble about the price or Eclipse's methods too much.  Rip Tide 01 reminds her why she never wants to have foals, and Magic is nothing more than a spoiled rotten, entitled, unicorn who needs to learn how the real world works!

Artist note. One of the reasons I do study sketches is that it lets me nail down and confirm certain aspects of character before starting on the finished piece. Also I can correct my reference if flaws are found so I don't make the same mistake on the final piece. correctly noted that a bat wing has four fingers and a thumb and I only had three fingers. Oops! Well I just corrected that reloaded the image file. More important I made certain the Roan project file had the updated image!
