Finally so one drew him with and actual rope and not a chain. Why can he kill with a normal rope you ask? He was the worlds best assassin before he became a god.
Great dipiction, good job.

I'm sorry for not replying earlier, I missed your comment somehow

Thank you for stopping by and yes, the more I think about it, rope seems a better tool for this job anyway. I mean, lurking in the shadows and clanging like Mr T don't go together that well..

I love it. His facial expression is definitely how I view Cotillion in the books. A bit arrogant, bemused. Smug, even. And he still maintains the ominous threat of imminent death all the while.

Thank you! There are many mistakes I've spotted in this painting over time but I'm still quite happy with his face and even happier that I've managed to paint the expression you described.

To bardzo fajne, jak każdy widzi daną postać na swój sposób. Każdy ma swojego Kotyliona. Podrawiam.

Dzięki za komentarz!

Zwykle kiedy nie potrafię sobie jasno wyobrazić jakiejś postaci, próbuję ją narysować. Tym razem było wyjątkowo trudno i już bym wiele pozmieniał..

Not bad, not bad at all. But the feeling seems more fitting for Shadowthrone rather than Cotillion in my opinion. But the again, the patron god of assassins is bound to have his dark, seriously scary moments too.

hellhowler In reply to NikitaDarkstar [2011-12-05 13:32:05 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

At some point I realized that I don't know how exactly I want him to feel like. He is a god, but he still is a badass silent killing machine. A difficult combination actually.

NikitaDarkstar In reply to hellhowler [2011-12-05 14:33:33 +0000 UTC]

Indeed, especially when the few descriptions we do get of him has him written has plainly featured and generally not a bad-ass vibe to him. But as you said he's still a god, and the patron god of assassins... well he's gonna have a few bad-ass moments, and I'm totally willing to assume this is one of those when someone is going to realize they pissed off the wrong guy.

I like a lot of this rendering, especially that it has the Rope. He looks a bit more malevolent and less 'professional' than I imagine. But that's just me.

Thank you! I did some 'neater' versions in the past, but they all looked too much like some Assassin's Creed fanart hence the unshaven, ragged look.

Your experience may vary depending on how you calibrated your screen On some of my monitors I can only see a vague silhouette in this picture :/

Shadowthorne In reply to hellhowler [2011-12-03 19:17:02 +0000 UTC]

It looks good on my screen; dark and shadowy, but there's enough detail to make out the planes of his face, his eyes almost glow and I can easily make out what he's wearing
I was guessing that's how it was supposed to look XD
Either way, I quite like it

hellhowler In reply to Shadowthorne [2011-12-03 20:08:18 +0000 UTC]

It is how it was supposed to look

I just hate the fact that I have no idea how exactly it may look on different monitor settings. There are many subtle dark grays in this one that can easily turn into a black blob, eg. on lower contrast settings.

Anyway, I'm glad you like it and thank you for commenting!

Shadowthorne In reply to hellhowler [2011-12-03 20:31:23 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I see what you mean. It's so hard to choose colors that will look good on multiple different screens when your trying to use a limited color pallet like that

You're very welcome ^_^
