Description

I did a reimagening of Nal(short for Nalryn) - the main protagonist and OC of my novel.


I have added and changed a few things here, since posting the pilot and the novel is coming together nicely.



Things I changed:

1. He used to have tied back shoulder length hair. Now his hair is medium length, coarse and wavy.
2. Previously had tall, lean build. Now - unusually tall and muscular for an elf. Still slender compared to humans.
3. He previously was a dualwielder, who used a sword in his right hand and a dagger in his left. He had his dagger at his left hip, next to his sword. Now his dagger is concealed, because he uses it as a secondary weapon(for defensive purposes mostly). Most of the time he wields his arming sword on its own.
4. got rid of the red kercief.

Personality in short: he's sort of a "make the best out of the situation at hand or run like hell" type a person. He is not a hero or downright villain, but rather a person dealing with the cards he was dealt. Curious, introvert, blunt, not very well mannered, often lacks confidence in him self and his actions, is a sweet tooth and likes to learn new things about lore. Can be reckless and impulsive at times. Sometimes acts like a coward and doesn't see it as something inherently wrong. Is afraid of spiders.

There is obviously more to his personality, but I think it would be best to find these things out by reading the actual novel.

I love the hell out of this! The ruggedness and overall texture seems to suit him nicely!

"make the best out of the situation at hand or run like hell" type a person.

Haha I love this kind of personality. He sounds cool, you didn't do him justice with the small puppy comparison. Plus he's really muscular, if dveygr men are considered scrawny then I can't even imagine how buff the women have to be.

PS. I really, really like this painterly style you got going on here.

He makes me think of pirates, for some reason
But Nalryn got swag

I think it's interesting that you made him not be the fearless guy :d That makes things less predictable and more engaging

I write...really badly. I am glad I am the only one who sees it. I look forward to reading your story when I have 5 minutes to spare for myself.

I'm not that good when it comes to writing myself either, especially in English. But I am putting an effort so getting any feedback would be great. Even bad feedback is great, because it helps you improve.
