All good
These are all well done "rough" drafts. I would have to settle with these as finals if it were me
There doesn't seem to be all
There doesn't seem to be all that much change apart from adding color.
mean
Midkemia must be a tough world, the people look so mean.
aye, why so angry butterfly
I love looking at rough drafts. They usually have specific characteristics that you can focus on... the things that really stick out in your head about what is important about a race or class
Sweet
really nice, even for rough drafts.

so angry
someone needs to pipe some bob marley through that realm

Wow!
I love all of the artwork and how epic it is in its final stages, but its great to see how awesome they are this early on. I almost like these more. The simplicity lets me focus more on some of the details. Would definitely like to see more of these.
I want to see Tsurani
I bet Chris would do a great job.
another vote for tsurani
and these are awesome
the colour ones are even better
But these early sketches are pretty fantastic too. Great job, Chris!
I like how
The Troll looks in the draft. Its nice to see how they look like before they get coloured, and shaded.
Love the rough drafts on
Love the rough drafts on these, which happen to be some of the better works you've produced for IRE. Nice job and keep up the hard work!
I like
these rough drafts
Midkemia lets you assign your stats.
So you can be any clash you wish. It's cool, the drawings, but wouldn't it be cool to see them in a job/class that's atypical for their race? Like a priest troll! We had a few of those in Sar-Sargoth!
I got food enough to last the two of us about a year,
a thousand cans of chowder and a thousand cans of beer.
Troll
looks pretty cool :)

Rough
Quite the rough sketch
Does Midkemia have racial stats
Or statpacks?
Neither. At start, all stats
Neither. At start, all stats are the same, and you can modify them as you increase in level, depending on how you wish to play. For example, a priest who wishes to focus on high damage in bashing and PvP will focus mainly on Strength and Constitution, but one who wants to be faster or more precise in combat may go for some Dexterity and Willpower as well, to the detriment of damage output or total health.
Also, these images are quite good.
Racial
There are a few racial advantages, though.
Wow
Those are really good for rough drafts I love them.
Should really give it a try
but I can't get away from Lusternia long enough! Urgh.
If I have one more snow day...
That'll be when I start it. Promise.
Those are just rough drafts?
