Hair and Beard Guide reprise

Posted on December 16, 2021

I’ve posted this before (see Hair and Beard Guide, July 2021), but in the interest of helping folk out who are trying to imagine the look of their Sartarite characters, here’s the Hair and Beard Guide that Anna Orlova did for me. This piece really helps me imagine the range of Sartarite looks and reminds me that no two Sartarites look the same!

Artist, Anna Orlova

See also Hair and Beard Guide for the art direction.

One of the things I have loved about working with Anna Orlova (and Jaye Kovach) on this project is the incredible diversity of looks – which makes sense given that Dragon Pass is the crossroads of the continent. We’ve done concept art (turns, profiles, tattoos, etc.) for a number of key figures in Sartar and I expect people will love the result.

Which tribes have blue and green skin? Those are make-up or dyes for ritual purposes.
