Legendary Character - Ghembrul Art

Well, I thought I'd bring in the new year right with another new piece of art from our art team. This time, it's a piece from Ben Hunter -

Ghembrul – Cook at the Crooked Branch Inn and Alehouse, Daloon’s Green

Ghembrul’s trip from Ommany to the Shoro is an epic in the Crooked Branch’s common room. While the cook has entertained customers with countless tales, the story seems to be a bottomless barrel where Ghembrul finds something new and unbelievable every time he says “Soon after leaving Ommany…” Few travelers don’t take to the cook’s loud and rough nature as the man never seems to leave the common room without roaring laughter at his back. His kitchen crew though sees a second side to the great hulk of a man. While his eyes are often shining and a joke is near the tip of his tongue, at times the weight of a cleaver in his hand turns his demeanor to iron. Then his work is quiet and focused and his carving a quick work of blood and flying meat. It is his staff that knew first never to broach his life before “soon after leaving Ommany” and the barmaids who quickly distract a curious customer with ale, wink or wiles.

This character was written and created by Daniel Gooden - long time contributor to Baeg Tobar.

You can also see more art from Ben here http://ironhenry.deviantart.com/ and here http://www.ironhenry.com/ (and he's got a really slick new website, so be sure to check it out).

I'll have more to post soon! Hope you all have a great New Years!
