I'm asking because I got my hands on the OOP Ral Partha miniature and I'm currently painting him. |

My players met Fzoul in two different situations:
Battle: Fzoul had tats on his face
Diplomacy: Fzoul did NOT have tats on his face.
I always used the tats as magical tats that Fzoul would use as body-wards and/or contingencies. |

Banites tattoo their faces. |

Why would he? He's a Zentirim, not a Thayan...... |

Raistlins eyes would be the best example of an idea originating with an artist and then being developed into a major element of the character.
And I still prefer the old versions of Drizzt. |

If I'm remembering correctly, though, the APPEARANCE section of Fzoul's write-up in the 2e Villains' Lorebook doesn't make reference to those tattoos, which we can glimpse, briefly, in the portrait of Fzoul from Ruins of Zhentil Keep.
I don't think any of the descriptions talk about the tattoos, but they are on all the early portraits. But then I don't think the tattoos where mentioned in connection with the banites at all in the grey box, so the tattoos shown on his face there could then just be the artist acting out of whimsy.
True. All it takes is one artist... I'm pretty sure Drizzt was never described with that funky headplate on, but how much artwork went in that direction? |

I once painted a small "Dark Sun" tattoo on one of the few minis I ever used in a Realms campaign. It was originally an unpainted Chaos Cultist from the WARHAMMER range of miniatures, but I scalped and modelled him with a little 'green stuff' to help bring about a Fzoul-like appearance [based on his illustration in the 3e FRCS].

Nope. Only that gem in the middle of his forehead. Whatever that's supposed to be, I have no idea. |

I don't think he does, at least from the few novels in which he appears. |
