Description My VERY-long-in-the-making kiriban picture for the REMARKABLY patient . Seriously, I told her I'd do her character Barret up in steampunky monster-hunting gear back in OCTOBER. I'm SO sorry for the wait... I guess I'm just easily distracted. But finally, you have it, and thank you SO much for putting up with my slowness.

Barret, I get the sense, is less of an adventuring type than a scholarly one, but Kirby suggested he'd look awfully good in one of these old-fashionedy monster-hunting-trophy-type shots, and when she said he'd fit in well in the Astral Arcana universe I knew I wanted to stick a scavver in there (they're one of the many creatures that live in the aetherial field) but I've been so reluctant to draw that scavver head I put it off for WAY too long.

So, at long last, here we are. Thanks, =Professor-Kirby , for your patience; thanks to ALL of you for the what-was-then-15000-hits which then became many more.

I don't know about brain-eating SPECIFICALLY (though I'm sure it wouldn't turn one down, hehe ), but it's definitely soooort of like a shark-fish. Except it lives in space.

YES I KNOW... she asked me to make it look like a friend of hers who was the inspiration for the character and linked me to a reference photo, and he's... quite fetching, actually. I was hoping he looked cute in the drawing too.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it, even though I thought it was a little on the "simple" side. I kind of wish I had that coat.

Welcome! Bah, it's great whether or not it's simple - though I think that if you'd spackled on the detail, it would have taken away from the elegant design. Still, I'm biased: I love elegant simplicity <3

temiel In reply to samohsai [2010-03-03 23:29:45 +0000 UTC]

Ah, thank you!! I was a little iffy on the design, I thought it might come off as a little uninspired since he looks so similar to the last steampunky guy I did. I'm really glad you like him! When I offer up another kiriban you're definitely welcome to have a go, I'm not popular enough that I ever have a zillion people competing for them.

Seriously XD I wonder why headhunters always nned the head... there are other parts that are much easier to carry around
but he looks great and the colours and pose are awesome again

temiel In reply to Chenria [2010-03-03 17:16:17 +0000 UTC]

The head is the most picturesque part of the whole thing, I think. I'm glad you like the colors. At first I was a bit iffy about them, but when I looked at them the next morning I realized I only disliked them because it was so late at night when I did the coloring. As of now, I kind of like that unified color scheme.

That...is amazing! WOW! I love it! The monster looks like he is smiling.LOL! I'm digging the guys boots!O__O... he's kinda cute...

temiel In reply to TheDevilsBlush [2010-03-01 22:09:33 +0000 UTC]

LOL! Yeah, it looked even more like it was smiling in the rough blue-line sketch I did before the pencil drawing. It was really silly-looking, so consider that this is "serious"-ed up! I totally fail at making non-funny monsters.

For what it's worth, I think he's pretty cute too. Of course, this could be my penchant for lanky redheads talking...

TheDevilsBlush In reply to temiel [2010-03-01 22:21:28 +0000 UTC]

Well, usually I make my monsters look like they are smiling as well. Mostly when they are facing forward though. Yeah, I like tall red-heads but, I'm more in it for darker skin and black hair! O__O

I have a bit of a weakness for scholarly adventurers. He certainly looks very dapper and well turned out - I bet after each encounter he spends time dusting himself off before moving on.

None of my male characters seem to feel like taking their clothes off right now - not that I seem to have many male characters these days. At least I can get my fix through other people's hot men^^

*squeaks and squeals*

I love his spats and his collar and tie. Whoah and the scavver head is intense! I like how it looks freaky and realistic at the same time.

Omg and Barret is so cute The whole picture totally looks like something he would hang in his apartment. The whole style of the picture fits too, because he's gone on an African safari and would love to go back. I especially like his freckles..and the shape of his head

*squeaks a little more* Thank you so much!!

Oh my goodness, I'm SO GLAD you like it and that it looks... right. I was SO anxious about this one since referencing from real people isn't one of my strong points, and big ol' monster heads are even less so. Which is part of why it took me so darn long to do this up (in addition to my general distractability). -__-

You're very welcome dear. Thanks so much for being so patient, and for catching it in the first place! If you ever want to catch another one of my kiribans I'll try to be a little more prompt about it.

Like I said last night; you need to start designing footwear. I absolutely love his boots/spats combo, and you draw shoes so absolutely perfectly D: His entire outfit it awesome, though, as is the rifle and that HEAD ahaha I love it, and how nonchalant he is while holding it up, all YES, I AM AWESOME. Can I go and read some more?

THANK YOU OH MAN... I used to be really, really dreadful at shoes, and even now I'm really unimaginative about them, so that means a lot. (I can't help but notice none of the shoes I come up with would work at all in real life. )
