Description For ConceptArt's character of the week, this guy is from Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' series. I've never read it, so this is probably totally wrong.

I love this and would like to purchase a version of this somehow. I've got a polar bear fetish and your illustration of this hits me in all those places. Excellent linework.

forever-earth [2008-07-04 18:50:54 +0000 UTC]

I love his dark materials. Actually one of my favourite series. The only suggestion I can make, is that his armor should not be gold, but more silver/rustic color, if you are trying to portray Iorek Byrnison.

Otherwise AMAZING WORK.

I've read Pullman's book, but I haven't yet seen the movie based on it (only its trailers). Anyway, your Yorek is very like the one in this movie, especially his armour...

I read the golden compass one but your armor for the polar bear is so much better. I think in the book it was dented metal oiled with seal blubber. Or something. I really like the curly bare hair :]

That looks beautiful...it's digital? It looks a lot like watercolor, how did you do it? The details on the armor is amazing, the fur too.

Anyway, it looks extremely like how I pictured Iorek. (his name is Iorek Byrnison)
GOOD JOB!
