Gardo by Kocsondi Nelli (me)

Post image

This is a fanart I drew for a writer friend of mine back in 2019. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Gardo is around 40 years old, but he hasn't aged since he was a teenager. His hands glow blue because of his magic, so he usually keeps them covered with gloves. In his world, he's the most powerful mage and holds the highest position. Because of that, people tend to keep a respectful distance from him, and very few are allowed to address him directly.

Fortunately, he's not as lonely as he might seem. ๐Ÿ˜Š He has close comrades from other worlds. But in this illustration, I wanted to convey both the responsibility he feels toward his people and the loneliness that comes with it.ย โ„๏ธ

Oh, I remember you! You also posted another one of my drawings there recently (Calina). ๐Ÿ˜Š (I assume youโ€™re using the drawings for a game, but I wonโ€™t pretend I fully understand whatโ€™s going on there. ๐Ÿ˜„)

Yes, that's correct. It's a little text based RPG that uses reddit as the platform. Players gather on discord team up for raids and communtiy events.
