Description
This is loosely based on the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind (yes...again). II tried to blend the Richard from the show with the Richard from the book and I wanted to modernize it a bit. I gave him a hoodie because...well...I just like hoods, and I thought it would look cool.
I also could put together a tutorial/timeline progression of my steps for this piece if anyone is interested.

I would love a tutorial deal for this if you feel like doing one. I just got a tablet, and I'm attacking any tutorial I see. Being an SoT tutorial would just make it that much more awesome.
LOVE the hood, btw. It definitely suits my Book!Richard image. Awesome, awesome job. The background is breathtaking. Did you have an idea in your head as to where it was in the book? Or were you just sketching a random palace?

Oh, awesome, thanks! Definitely worth the look! I'm a bit far from being able to accomplish that just yet, but I'm getting there.

It looks great, but I think we should try and forget the show ever existed. If you want a model for Richard try Eric Bana.

a question only... but, what have you done this painting with?
π: 0 β©: 1
(some teasing) Do you like hoods or do you suck at drawing faces like i do

hands are still my biggest problem though. I hate hands....its a shame they are so vital.

P.S: That 'H' in your 'D'hara' needs to be a capital. Just nitpicking.

Yes, yes it is... I might actually be forced buy a gaming console to play it on if such a thing existed. We have a Wii, a PlayStation 2, two Nintendo DS Lites, and various other things which I can't name...
...none of which are mine, as I can't be bothered with the things.
Anyway. Back on topic (I have a habit of going off-topic, it seems)... I have never been so afraid of a once loveable character in my life. He looks so... well, fearsome. (Awesome use of adjectives, I know.) And in a hoodie? I am - by default, it seems - terrified of those guys who walk around with their hoodies up (and, usually, a flat-billed cap on underneath) purely because of their fashion sense. Their lack of style intelligence is very, very disturbing.
I wonder if Richard would mind very much if I ran away from him screaming if he (by some freak of nature) happened to walk out of the book or the TV screen and was dressed like this?? As far as I know, he's more used to people running towards him screaming 'ILOVEYOURICHAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!!!!!!!' like they've got rabies...

But Richard has killed 1000's of people! I never really understood why everyone in the books (not so much the show I guess) was so afraid of the mother confessor but not as fearful of Richard. Richard was(is? grammar!) far more dangerous than she was(is?)
I understand they both kill people in the name of good and justice, but still...that much killing...that makes you someone to avoid no matter what. Especially when fueled by a magic sword that invokes anger and rage by nature. I think a fearsome Richard is by far the most realistic...so there!
as for the hood...I like hoodies! And I do not lack style intelligence.

(The grammar thing? I think it should be 'is' as the books haven't ended yet. Richard is more fearsome than Kahlan, who I am actually not afraid of at all. She's not scary. 
They're probably not so afraid of him 'cause he's something new to them - the Confessors have always been feared, but since he's decided to be a 'nice' Lord Rahl they're not so scared... just... respectful? I don't know.
Oh. And there's also the fact that he doesn't really enjoy killing people. I think people can pick that up quite easily just by assessing his character a little further than 'ZOMG IT'S LORD RAHL!!! RUN!!! HIDE!!! HE'S GONNA KILL US ALL!!!'... as he keeps saying, he's just a misplaced woods guide from Westland, and as he doesn't know much about magic, he is therefore not quite so scary as the rest of the Rahls the people have known.
He is still more fearsome than Kahlan, however. Never mind that he doesn't really act it. If we're talking scary, it's not fair to compare a guy to a girl... of course the guy will prevail, it's just the sexist thing that's programmed into humans.
But anyway. Kahlan's got nothing on the Mord-Sith. Now they are frightening. I wouldn't like to see what'd happen if they all suddenly decided to turn against a Rahl. After all - they could capture his magic and turn it against him, and there are a lot more of them compared to the one Rahl... and if the Mord-Sith don't like the Lord Rahl, chances are nobody does... not that anyone would be stupid enough to even attempt to stop a mob of angry Mord-Sith.
there i go again. i really need to learn to stay on topic, don't i...?
Actually, even though I'm a girl, I quite like hoodies too. All I'm saying is that some people just don't know how to wear them, and the first thing (aside from 'RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!') that came to my mind was 'Hmm... what would he look like with a flat-billed- OMG WTF BBQ, GANGSTER RICHARD EQUALS NO.' or something along those lines. Don't worry about me... I'm just... strange.

haha ok ok you win. I surrender! Richard is like a care-bear with a sword
OMG WTF BBQ?? lol
