Your talent has the ability to take the good characters and make the amazing. Well done.

Awww beautiful!! Very much how I picture Daeghun to be like. In his hidden personality, behind that icy facade, that is.

.....Aaaand we still don't see how Shayla looks like? For some reasons I got the idea she was actually an halfling.

A halfling?

I admit that I have thought about many things, but not that.

But thanks a lot for your comment, I'm glad you like it - poor Daeghun deserves some love!

....Hey, now that I think about it, would you accept also little simple art requests?

By the way, what's this talk about finding more on Daeghun's personality in "Mask of the Betrayer"??

Wow, that's a huge compliment.
Thanks so much for asking, but I'm sorry to say that due to lots of real life work I haven't enough time to work on requests properly, so I have to say no.

But if you want to, you can send me a note with your idea and I'll get back to you if I have a little more time. But one thing right away - I make no Bishop/KC or other female pairings, so if you wanted to ask for something like that, I'll have to say "no" no matter what.

I have never finished MotB, so I don't know exactly what happens during that expansion, but I've heard that you at least hear about Daeghun and the way the relationship between the KC and his/her foster-father develops after the end of MotB.

My Daeghun ... "sigh" you've done him so well it's delightful to see him. I always marvel at your amazing work! Keep it coming, you warm hearts.

Thanks dear! You have no idea how happy I am you like it, because I made for you.

And don't worry - I will!

(Spoiler alert? I dunno.)

Whenever I interacted with Daeghun, I was torn between irritation at his cold, unfeeling surface, and sympathetic grief at his loss. On one hand I could understand it, but on the other I pity whatever kid had to grow up with him as a foster father.

It wasn't until the very end of NWN2 and the end of MOTB that Daeghun realized how much he cared for the PC and I have to admit when I read the things at the end, I can admit I had tears in my eyes for the father/daughter relationship.

This captures the real reason behind Daeghun's countenance so perfectly, and allows a glimpse into the real agony that is in the Wood Elf ranger. Poor Daeghun. I feel kind of bad for swearing at you under my breath...

Thanks dear, I'm glad you like it.

I think your comment captured very well what I felt for Daeghun while playing the game, and what I wanted to say with this render. He's carrying so much grief and pain, no wonder he turned so cold on the outside. It's nice to see that in the end, he will heal at least a bit, and maybe can find some peace through his foster-child.

RevenantSoul In reply to KaanaMoonshadow [2008-03-07 04:15:19 +0000 UTC]

And maybe the foster-child can set him up with a nice Elf lady...

Ahem! I mean... >_>

He started caring for the child out of a feeling of debt, I'm sure. I've always wondered who the PC's father is, as well. >_> Since the mother just rocked up preggers. Floozy. XD

As an unrepentant Daeghun fangirl (my NWN2 character has some serious father issues ) I would have to comment on this even if it wasn't amazingly beautiful. Which it is. And so, so sad.

Thanks!

Daeghun is a very interesting and complex character, and so I think that he definitely deserves some attention.

It's good to hear you like my take on him!

SleepwalkerElf [2008-02-13 19:37:03 +0000 UTC]

This is how I think Daeghun should have looked like in the game. Even for an old elf, he seemed too old to me.

Beautiful piece of art. Daeghun really deserves more attention, he's a truly great character. There's genuine pain and grief in his expression. Wonderfully done.

You're right, they don't get that much attention... and especially Daeghun is a very complex character with so many internal conflicts... Glad you like his look!

Thanks Tash, I'm glad that you think it angsty and dramatic!

You should really try it some time, it's a great game full of interesting characters, and I had a lot of fun with it. Hells, it inspired me to write fanfiction, and to do some art, so... it's not that bad!

Thank you!

I always wanted to do a render where Daeghun visits his wife's grave, for he's a very interesting character with a very sad story, so... that's what I made of it.

The lighting took me a while, so it's great to hear that I was able to create the mood I was loking for...

His pose and expression really convey Daeghun's grief, and the lighting creates a great mood as well. I think I've got another fav ...
