Shifter characters

Shifter is a halfway race and halfway is hard to draw. They resolve it here by picking a moment: thick fur along the forearms, claw-like nails, pointed ears that flatten when the temper goes. Rangers and barbarians dominate. Nobody here has attempted a full transformation, which tells you something.

Skin and fur do the work. Tawny feline patterns across bronzed shoulders, skin patched like tree bark, mottled russet and sandy fur, one artificer with markings like flickering flames. Hair is wild and often chestnut, copper or charcoal. A ranger has celestial constellations tattooed on copper skin, and a sorcerer has silver runes on pale pink skin. Barbarians and rangers lead, followed by wizards and rogues. So that yours looks like a shifter and not a rough human, put the animal in one clear place, the eyes or the forearms.
