Hey all! Sorry for posting kinda late. Errands, musical, and whatnot. Excuses? Probably.
Anyways this is my next theme piece, regarding "Developing original novel characters through portraiture and diction." This is Zoltan Masters, the fourth (and final) "protagonist" character of the main party.
In the wonderfully shattered world of Letters From a Thief, if I didn't explain this already, the richest sector is ruled by a militaristic government called the Enforcers and a regime of supersoldiers called the Purveyors. If you want to know all about this crazy literary thinger that I'm creating, just ask me about it. I looooove talking about it. (I actually do that wasn't sarcasm.)
But like they always tend to do, black market traders got their hands on the serum that is used on subjects to turn them into Purveyors. They tampered with it and came up with a different result: beings called Weapons. I will get into the nitty-gritty of what Purveyors are once I get to the Purveyor character I'm painting, but know for now that they're super-good at killing things and enforcing stuffs. Weapons are different only in a few manners; they do not suffer from the same consequences that Purveyor's memory centers suffer, but they do gain a superiority complex. If one of them were to shed blood, they take it as a sign of weakness and imperfection, and go nutso crazy psycho. Hoorah.
But yeah, the main party comes across Zoltan during one of Draven's (project 2) assassination missions, and he's pretty much a foil to Ulysses. He's stern, cold, calculating, and ruthless, claiming that he can sense what someone is thinking and what they will do before they do it.
Yeah alright I should stop rambling on that section. Time to help me improve this shlock.
1) I know I need to layer up with more paint. Where should I do this? (don't say everywhere even though I know you will)
2) Too much blood?
I don't expect many comments since I'm posting this at about 10:30 PM, but I'll take what I can get. Happy arting! AND GO SEE THE MUSICAL.
I think you could tone down the blood a tiny winy bit, but it looks good. Also are you going to add a quote to this one too?
ReplyDeleteLily~ I think you should layer it, especially on the hair and lighter parts of the face. And no, the amount of blood is fine. Just don't add any more.
