Raistlin: old sketches

I’ve tried drawing Raistlin many times. Ever since I read about him, I began sketching in the margins, pencil drawings, and color attempts. Some serious drawings, some playful. Only in recent years have I managed to “finish” these drawings the way I wanted, transforming them into full-rendered paintings.
Perhaps, in time, I’ll collect older drawings here as well. For now, a few simple sketches from recent years.

Dalamar’s injury

Raistlin Majere and his apprentice Dalamar the Dark. Created on 15 November 2020.
Not exactly a Canon scene – but a fanart inspired to the books of Dragonlance Legends.
Maybe a “What have I done?” scene, or maybe a scene from a Fanfiction named “Devotion” by Isabellemajere on AO3.
I’ll let your mind question and decide what has happened, and what is going to happen.

Studying – Dalamar and Raistlin Majere

A quick sketch, October 2018

Raistlin and flowers entwined // Fanfic Devotion

Devotion” is a fanfic story by IsabelleMajere. The setting is an alternative universe, where events did go different from what narrated in Dragonlance famous books.
In this scene, Raistlin Majere is alone in his study, meditating about something really, really important. The afternoon light pervades the room, the many rare and interesting things in the room are losing importance confronted with the subject of the mage’s thoughts. Pencil sketch, digital recolor. 9 August 2017.

Back to year 2000: Sketch of Dalamar

Dalamar Argent, Dalamar Nightson. The Black robed Silvanesti elf from the Dragonlance saga by M. Weis & T. Hickman. The apprentice of Raistlin Majere, then the master of the Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas.
I imagine this way his face, the michevious smile, the delicate features. I’m not able to draw this traits in all my other Dalamar drawings, but if I could, all of them should be derivate from this one, that was the very first.
Pen sketch, summer 2000
