A3 design sheets created for the project Design Document

Here are the initial designs for the Jarl of Black Rock Hold. I new from an early stage what I wanted from this character, an aged but stun warrior fixed in his ways and very protective of his family and close friends.
The Jarl is also very wary of outsiders and is naturally very distrusting, usually visitors were expected to pay a generous gift of valuables and trinkets to gain the favor of the Jarl to seek a comfortable refuge in his presence.
However recent events have changed his attitude out of desperation the Jarl new actively seeks and summons capable warriors to his hold hoping to enlist their aid in rescuing his abducted child from the demon witch of The dark foreboding forest of Morgaul. 

In preparation for the creation of Jarl Ulthrick I sourced various images of Jarls utilising Google's search engine and in game screenshots of Skyrim. The Jarl is second only to the King in Scandinavian social hierarchy they own vast land and wealth and govern over a town or city.
The Jarls of the kingdom are also expected to raise an army for the king when called upon during war if a Jarl refuses they are ostracized from the alliance and deemed an enemy of the Kingdom.
