These are definitely the weirdest race I made for Shaarzahn. I like the idea of their nature as cave-dwelling and uncaring of most aspects of life except tinkering with stuff, but I also made them almost insect hive-like in their sociology, which I've since realized just feels too alien for a humanoid race.
And last of all, the Golem races. I've always thought it would be interesting to roleplay as a construct. There's the Warforged race in the Eberron setting, of course, but what if the setting was in the bronze age? Marble and clay golems would be their equivalents!
Here's another race made by my cousin. I thought his descriptions of them were a bit too human, so to set them apart I made them more colorful and made the assumption that they had wings instead of arms, instead of in addition to them.
The quintessential "beast race" of Shaarzahn! These were my creation, and I'm pretty impressed with how they turned out.
My cousin made up this race. I hope I did it justice on the appearance based on his descriptions.
There wasn't much going on while I was doing this, but more than that, my heart just wasn't in it, so I didn't finish. Work's been frustratingly boring lately and I think it carried over. At least what I did come up with was pretty funny, and I'm proud of the drawings.
More fun with Hero Forge! This time I decided to go back to my cousin's Bronze Age forum RPG setting and mine, Shaarzahn, for inspiration. The next few posts will be the races we designed several years ago. We tried for a much more outside-the-box approach to inventing these races, rather than leaning on old Tolkeinesque stereotypes.
