NOTES: Dio is a Male Human Paladin in D&D5e 2014. He is a PC in "our" group, and this happens to be his "main" PC out of all the campaigns we share together. If you need a good point of reference he literally based his PC off "Dante" from Devil May Cry. He has a relation to Kaelen and Lira from prior to the start of the story if you check out this trope: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PowerTrio He was the heart, Lira was the brains, and Kaelen was the brawn. #### POSE REFERENCE ![[Pasted image 20260812161331.png]] #### FACE REFERENCE Roughly about the same as pose reference, standing atop the edge of a cliff looking off into the distance #### BACKGROUND REFERENCE Roughly about the same as the pose reference, overcast, rainy looking #### EXISTING "DRAWN" IMAGES REFERENCE Here are a collection of existing reference images regarding the character ![[Pasted image 20260605141712.png|372]] ![[Pasted image 20260812163617.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260605141955.png|377]] ![[hat_dio.png|428]] #### EXISTING "OTHER" IMAGES REFERENCE Dio plays FF14 and as the party recently reached waterdeep he went and got new clothes, this is meant to be the new look for Dio. ![[Screenshot 2026-08-12 155301.png]] ![[Screenshot 2026-08-12 155324.png]] ![[Screenshot 2026-08-12 155353.png]] ![[Screenshot 2026-08-12 155410.png]] ![[Screenshot 2026-08-12 155428.png]] ![[Screenshot 2026-08-12 155548.png]] ![[Screenshot 2026-08-12 155559.png]] ![[Screenshot 2026-08-12 155612.png]] ![[Screenshot 2026-08-12 155626.png]] ![[Screenshot 2026-08-12 155748.png]] ![[Screenshot 2026-08-12 155805.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260812164337.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260812165245.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260812164619.png|170]] #### SPECIFIC NOTES 1. the look we're going for here is not the previously drawn images, but the way the character looks from ff14 per the screenshots 2. the gold bits that pull the sleeves together should be just melded as if its one long sleeve, no black should be showing either on the sleeve, limitations of the model in ff14 3. the sleeves for sure are rolled up a bit up his forearm 4. on his back should be the sheath for his sword 5. his sword should be like in the pose reference, using the drawn version of it in flowers from the image reference 6. the very center of his belt buckle that looks like a cross should have a metal looking version of the tymora logo seen above instead of the cross 7. the red part of his clothing, think of it like a jumpsuit he gets into, and then the vest and belts and such go over that 8. on the vest near the armpits looks like there is a second smaller vest that goes over the larger vest, just blend that in so it looks like its just one vest 9. the hat in the screenshots is about as accurate as it can get for the shape size and dimensions comma ratio of hat to head 10. he wears a shield on his left forearm that would look close to this in shape, nothing special on the front side just dull metal, so it would be the shield on his forearm while he palms the sword like in the pose reference image
