Endless Realms player class - Animancer

Player class artwork for Endless Realms, a D&D-like "pen and paper" fantasy RPG I'm working for.

It's a lizard wizard!  Or rather, a Silean animancer.

Animancers are, essentially, a priest and a necromancer in one, as they manipulate the power of Animus, domain of the Dual God of life and death.  While they are not strictly bound to practice balance, moderation and neutrality, delving too deeply into their art or favouring one side over the other risks incurring the wrath of their fickle god - an eternal curse or permanent loss of sanity are both likely results :b

I'm actually really quite happy with this one.  I didn't have a very clear feel for the look and attitude of this class at first, but it somehow all came together in the end!  Started with the concept of balance, and the art director suggesting using a black and white colour scheme for him; then I came up with the idea of having him wear a mask representing the Dual God, and various tokens, symbols, and physical representations of the forces of life/vitality and death/decay, and it all went from there

Also, stoked I got to do a hunky male mage :V  The art director prefers female casters in flowy dresses and pretty robes, but I insisted at least one of the caster classes be male :b XD  See, male mages don't HAVE to be lame dudes in dresses!
