Artist's Comments

First decent picture of the protagonist from my story.
The story moves between 2 eras (covering about 2000 years), dark-age/fantasy & modern/cyberpunk.
Each era is referred to as the First Aeon & Second Aeon respectively.
I think I'll go with this as a finished character appearance concept for Kayal in the second Aeon.

Lineart done in pencil: [link]
Colour/shading done in PaintShop Pro 7/9

Not completely happy with the hair or the gun, but the picture will suffice for now.


As presumptuous as it may seem of me to make this last point on my drawing;

I plan to make something of this character eventually. Specifically; a graphic novel so please don't steal my art.

I can understand why you dont like the hair...

the gun seems ok though

My suggestion is to not line the hair so much, but do it more like the hair done here: [link]

- with that you should get the same hair-style/effect but it will probably look better...

in short: bundle the hair together more, so there aren't so many thick black lines to break it up, and connect the ends in points, not frilly rasta-like thingies...

There's shading on the face and the coat-area between his legs is the darkest area ;)
Make sure your monitor's brightness isn't set too high :P

Thanks for commenting.

What happened to it was that I was working in a small area (A4) and using 'normal' pencils instead of mech. pencils. Thus the lines were thicker than I wanted and I couldn't fit in all the strands I wanted.
I was aiming more for a realistic effect than the traditional animé style.

Trying to move away from Animé/manga style but retain some its influences.

Thanks for commenting and for the suggestions.
