Hobgoblin hexblade warlock! Hobgoblins are by far my favorite monstrous race within D&D. I don't quite know why I gravitate towards them. It's likely because my friend picked a Hobgoblin as his player character and his backstory is incredible. The fact that they come from the Feywild and have a strong sense of community contributes to my love of these red-skinned, sometimes blue-nosed goblinoids. His character Lyndon pictured here has a red dragon scale mail and uses a flail as their primary weapon.

I like to give Hobgoblins more elvish-looking arms and armor as I think of them as amazing craftspeople and warriors. The design of the blue cloth over his armor is inspired by the feudal Japanese jinbaori worn over samurai armor.
