Description This is Malik D'Aubigne, mostly known as Copper, as he appears sometime between ZVEZDAI and BOREALIS. He is about 20 here. He is Rachel's dearest companion, is Egyptian and French, and has epilepsy.

18 hours, Adobe Photoshop 4.0 LE. I'm very pleased with his nose, lips, and freckles; it really looks like my mental image of him. A little cleanup is in order (particularly on his hair and eyes).

EDIT: Cleaned and detailed- this is the final version. I'm much happier with his hair now.

EDIT 2: I have discovered that on some computers, this image looks very dark. I don't know what to do about this.

I love how realistic his freckles and eyebrows look! I feel like he's standing right in front of me.

Amazing.

This one is a personal favorite, as his features are based heavily on my brother's. I'm glad you like the freckles; they're a weakness of mine.

You must have a very attractive brother, then. If you look at him from a scientific perspective, I mean. Freckles are adorable and amazing. I think they add character to anything ^_^

I'm actually working on coloring a picture for a friend at the moment, and the character has freckles. I hadn't even thought of the freckles until she stole my sketchbook and added them. If not for the fact that she's paying me to draw it (...and also, we were in class...) I would have hit her upside the head. But the character looks adorable now, so I forgave her xD

Wow... that is incredible. It's so realistic, but there's still that painterly quality to it.

Thank you! I'm really working on developing my realism skills without going photographic.
