This bard from Imperian looks great! I love the little song bird and his harp and other instruments, along with all the colours used in the illustration.
He's a bard and an elf, I don't think it's possible to draw him any other way. Anyhow, the brighter colours make a nice contrast to the other portraits.
What I like here is the humor captured in this artwork, like his posture or the smirk on his face. And this complemented with the castle in the background where the dimensions and angles seem a bit off but adding to the ambiance of the image.
Very nice depiction of an elven bard! He looks quite mischievous for sure, as bards can be at times, yet civilized in his attire. He's got his instruments with him as he should, as well as the very showy ears of an elf should have. Great piece!
Definitely one of the lighter and more fun pieces for Imperian, and I think rather appropriately places a Bard in front of the Amethyst City. Now you just need a bunch of trebuchets on the hilltop pointing directly at that spot and a stone totem that says Nasr. Or maybe that's so two years ago...

This reminds me of the 'bard'
This reminds me of the 'bard' collegium quest in the Serenwilde. Have to convince the songbirds to sing to you.
Beautiful Art
Beautiful art, and even though I do not play Imperian myself I can see the amount of effort put into this.

Not My Favorite
Though the art is excellent, I am not a fan of this character in particular.
nice work
