Description (Don't say I didn't warn you about the Dune fan art!)

Paul Atreides! I can't say anything about him without blurting a spoiler or two, this portrait already is a spoiler of sorts (okay, I didn't have to mention that either). Let's just say he's ...important (hello understatement!). Okay I'll shut up now.

This turned out rather nice by chance. Unlike the Kynes portrait, I hardly noticed 'working' on it. Fun and spontaneous. (Too bad this fun and spontaneous niceness happens so rarely )

Anyway, I like how this turned out, left it a little rough on purpose, was afraid of overworking it. The eyes are meant to be that blue bla bla bla...

Surely someone with this much appreciation for classic Dune characters would be welcome at Jacurutu...

okay, i have no clue what dune is, except there was a game called that, that i never played. hehe. it did have a desert environment...nice shading! especially the face1 but i daresay i still lean towards the bearded gentleman. XD

Why are his eyes sooo blue?

Thank you! :3

Dune is a series of books, there are games based on the books too. The place 'Dune' itself is a desert planet, the only planet that produces the valuable spice Melange. Addiction to the spice gives a person the blue eyes.

Hey, your avatars awake

I love Dune! And he looks just the right amount of weather-beaten and blue-eyed and look-into-the-distance-y. Though my mental image of Paul is always younger... maybe cause of my undue focus on the first book! Great work

merriya In reply to LaneEight [2009-05-12 17:31:57 +0000 UTC]

Yay! Dune Fan! (I didn't mention this, but your desert in my mind pic made me think of Dune, haha)

Thank you!

Yeah, this is the older Paul. I might attempt drawing the younger Paul someday... (if I can keep procrastination at bay)

PS: You're tempting me to attempt fanart again.. it's been a long long time. I'll probably start with Robin Hobb's Royal Assassin and Fool series, though

I've been wanting to read those books!

LaneEight In reply to merriya [2009-05-21 05:11:24 +0000 UTC]

You must! The characterisations are super intense... to an extent, the books are totally character-driven (which is not to say that any of the other good stuff is missing)

Liberty Books in Karachi has them. You can order them online and have them delivered if you really want to

Thank you . Yeah, checked out readings today, they still don't have 'em. Liberty books it is then (once I'm done with the current pile *empty pockets* )

Probably... But he might even like you for not being into...

Where has Harris disappeared to by the way?

Thanks!

Crazy awesome! Like i said, loved the book, and you did a FAR better portrayal of him then the movie! Awesome job. I noticed that you made the eyes bluer this time.

Looks attractive. Especially the blue eyes. And glowish/blurish effect just fits in. Good job.
