NOT MY WORK; this is a fantastic commission from  rexequinox; go check her gallery out, and if you like it, add her version to your favourites rather than mine!

My character Sovandar, a kobold and an expert Wizard, dressed in his casual adventuring gear, and his blue tunic that signifies him as a Master of Conjuration; one of the best in the land, in fact, since his former tutor turned rogue and went into hiding.

Sovandar's clan were converts to the religion of Bahamut, God of Good Dragonkin, but had remained largely isolated (and happily so). But eventually, the clan realised it was slowly losing a long two-pronged conflict between a Dwarven mine that coveted the gold ore the kobolds mined and (occasionally) sold; and a small local army of goblinoids led by a hobgoblin warlord (to whom the clan refused to swear fealty). The kobolds argued and even fought amongst themselves for some time, before the dust settled and isolationism gave way to survival. The clan opted to voluntarily become subjects of the nearby human-dominated kingdom and request protection, in exchange for part-rights in their gold mine.

Sovandar himself, showing no trace of sorcery, wanted instead to study wizardry; the clan's elders gave him their blessing, and enrolled him in the kingdom's magical academy, as part of a calculated effort to raise the clan's profile and strengthen their petition.

Years of arcane study in the painfully bright sunlit world of the Academy where he trained, has left him slightly myopic; his pair of custom-made pince-nez are a vital tool for reading through the complex arcane rituals he readies daily.

He has some Green Dragon heritage in him, hence the crest and the stripe of green scales running down his spine. Despite his reputation, he stands at only 2 foot 4 inches tall, and tends to stay out of the forefront of events until cornered.
_______________________________________________

Heavily based on an old D&D v3.5 character of mine, and one of my favourite characters; a Wizard/Rogue/Arcane Trickster, which worked out better than I'd expected. The game was so heavily house-ruled, though, it didn't work anything like it (perhaps) should have done, so I plan to recycle the concept a bit next time I've got the opportunity, using Pathfinder rules.

This is the first picture of him; I love the way it came out.

Thanks, Rex!
