Kilic Cubbins






One day, Kilic, was sitting at home. His feet were being warmed by the small fire he had just finished making, and he was choosing between two lovely novels. When suddenly, quite out of the blue, there arrived at his doorstep, a package. The postman was very late at his rounds and as such misread the name on the parcel, but was off down the street and around the corner long before Kilic had opened the door. Kilic took the parcel in, and though it was not his mail, opened it. It was, after all, a very slow and boring day for the young halfling and at the time there were no laws to forbid someone from opening another's mail. To his delight, Kilic found that the parcel contained a rather large book. The cover was old and wrinkling, its dye was fading, and the gold leaf which formed the lettering was chipped in many places. The lettering was not the ordinary lettering of the common folk, in fact, the lettering was not one used by any folk as Kilic knew. The letters were runes, and in the hands of the right person, powerful runes. That right person was, of course, a wizard. For this was a magic book, and as Kilic lifted it to examine the runes more closely they began to change. The transformation was almost unnoticeable, and by the end Kilic was having a hard time debating if the letters had actually changed, or if they had really just been that way all along. Kilic thumbed through a few pages, admiring the intricate, blue letters. He then brought the book over to his lounge chair, and sat down for a good, long read.

A Halfling Wizard. When I told my DM about him he said he had never heard of it, but was excited to see how it went. Kilic is a Wizard, but he dabbles in alchemy. In the picture he is holding a fire pot. 

I have definitely become hooked on the paint program. It is so easy to use, and the pictures come out looking very clean. Not to mention I like adding color to things. Still, I want to get better at using it so I can work on different styles. Below is the drawing before I colored it.


Cheers.
