That's something i really like: Kraiden's scared face. I admire it- to draw a scared face the proper way without it looking silly or just a line thats supposed to be a scare so the oh-so-beautiful face of an person isn't harmed to much. :/
I find myself drawn to his pictures because of that. ^^'
Of course i also like the emotions in this picture, the moment is so soft and tender, it's calming and lovable thought I'd like to hand them a blanket since it's winter and brrrr freezing outside. xD

I was trying to be realistic with him.
A man who has lived as a slave for 70years would not return without a scratch on that once so beautiful face or body, in fact his tormentors would have likely tried to remove his former identity (He was an elven lord after all and an officer used to command) to make him more obedient.
Plenty of scars and mutilations. Non of this 'faint scar over the eye but still beautiful' crap... he's been carved up.
The idea is that the men of this family were famed for their looks and each one has been lost in some way. Xelcius got the wretched disease, Zoltar was murdered, Kraiden was mutilated, Rothlin (Xel's son - the murderer) was burned.

It has to be said once again your use of facial expression and figure form is outstanding. Even though Kraiden's face is a mess ((sorry)) you still make him emotive. Love your work and your characters are wonderful.
