Portrait of a Mhun

Sarapis

Enjoy!

Darklyre

Living in caves doesn't do too well for dental hygiene, apparently.

Neat lighting, though!

Xer

Mhun Shaman I presume? I approve!

Yep, shaman.

Asmodron

If only Shamans were actually that cool

Xer

Now if only I could make myself act that terrifying IG

And Shaman's are that cool >.> Maybe a few classleads here and there

Kill a penguin and stick its skeleton on top of your hood and you too will be a terrifying badass!

Sherazad

Looks so cool! I was playing Mortal Kombat some time ago and this sort of reminds me of that. Am just waiting for a fatality. 

Xae

This makes me feel like my shaman alt isn't shaman enough. I am put to shame.

Also, I like this a lot.

Synbios

I like his wiry build, and the fact that his lean musculature gives off that indication that he'd be a match in an arm-wrestling game.

Love it.

Ognog

Wittle Mhunsy wonsy wikes to pway with teddy bears.

Iocun

Now I wonder if Iocun has huge fingernails too.

Aktillum

Love it. It has hints of Bourassa's Aetolian version, but is decidedly more badass. For one, it's not a cat.

No wonder I keep getting nosebleeds when I pick my nose. And here I thought I was going to have psychic powers.

Kresslack

Who's the artist for this?

Kenway

People can grow out or trim their fingernails. Maybe Mhun have stronger fingernails than other races due to their underground homes to help with digging and this Shaman just grew them out 'cause he likes to Vodun tickle people.

Gods know I do.

Kyrra

That is so awesome.

Vadimuses

Props to IRE for creating all of this artwork - helps new MUD players get exited about the games

Katzchen

Hi Xer. Cool picture of you.

All the new race pictures (the ones in achaea.com/gallery) are from Chris Bourassa, though sometimes with some sub-contractors who do the initial work that he then polishes or finishes.

Silvarien

I dearly want this painting to be interactive so I can plaster collage-style on the vodun doll the terribly-drawn face of my worst nemesis, with needles sticking out of it everywhere.

Blujixapug

I like this as a picture of a presumably Mhaldorian shaman, bondage belts aside. But not really as racial artwork of a mhun. If there are any details that distinguish mhuns from humans, which has always been extremely vague, this portrait does not display them.

It doesn't help that the human art depicts someone who is also quite slender with pale skin and sunken eyes.

Xith

Relax, people. His fingernails are just "imperious".

Sarapis

Bluntly, yeah, distinguishing mhun from tsol'aa from humans has been a weakness of Achaea. I am to blame for that.

Aepas

Ohai @Xer

Seldin

To me, I see Tsol'aa as being similar to elves, but without the pointy ears. Tall, slim but not 'skinny', elegant looking.

Mhun to me look dirtier (living in mines/underground), slightly smaller, skinnier. And either quite tan or quite pale.

This should be more of a case of distinguishing humans from mhun and tsol'aa. Humans should be able to look like all of the above. But a tsol'aa doesn't look like a mhun at all.

Tahquil

Love the attitude, but I can't help to think that THIS is what and occultist should look like (-minus the doll of 'curse').

Sylvance

That's not a Mhun... it's clearly Lord Voldemort.  And is it just me or does the doll look just like Daniel Radcliffe?

Anyway, scary as the Shaman looks... the noob's only carrying two health vials, so should be an easy kill!

Aktillum

Shamans/Jesters have longer fingernails for bleed.

You draw a sharp fingernail across the torso of the puppet.

Puppet has 50 fashions!

Goggo lets out a short scream as blood begins to pour from his abdomen.

Now I want to make clawed gloves.

Hermaldo

Hermaldo has to justify killing these guys...jeez!

Mhunna will be getting a visitor soon. -shudder-

Nah easy enough...

Tsol'aa: Snazzy, gracefull beings

Humans: Inbred bastard offsprings of the Aldar

Mhuns: Dirty Human castoffs that lives underground

See? Quite easy *grins*
