Description
~Β Morholt ~Part of the prize for 's wonderful 1st Place winning entry in my contest. This is Morholt, the mysterious mercenary and bard - little is known of his background other than his Irish/Northumbrian origins, but his outstanding personality, unpredictabilty and his skills as a bard make him a character worth remembering
It's no secret that I love his backstory and design, he's one of my favourite characters of Akitku's, so it's been a pleasure drawing him in colour. ^^

Beautiful portrait! The fiery plum, red and jewel tones you've used for Morholt's hair are simply gorgeous and I know this might sound strange, but I love the strand of hair flying across his chin, those kind of little details really bring pieces like this to life. Such gorgeous work!

I love how you've shaded his face! The way you've made him really makes his personality stand out, and your facility with pencil crayon has been improving so much with each and every piece. He looks very playful here!

Thank you so much, it's really encouraging to hear that about the technique! I enjoyed mixing the colours for his skin and choosing a pose and expression that would fit his personality ^^
