SF&F Picture 22 out of 56 by Brian Keith Cooke.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Kayl for the New Millennium

At the beginning of this year, I did an updated version of the character pic for my character Kayl MacLaren. The original was done with colored pencils, and is elsewhere in this gallery. I still had a scan of the pic uncolored on the hard drive, though, and decided to try my hand at coloring it on the puter. For this version, I used a watercolor emulation in Painter 3D. 12/27/00 Updated the pic a tiny bit, by combining the parts of the two different versions that I liked. This is closer to what I wanted, I think :)

7 May 2001	Grace Dawn Palmer	Loading... nice character pic. I agree that the nose shuld eb shaded abit. Also, I don't know if you got the look you were going for with the chainmail? With all of it being blue, it looks more like he's wearing a loosely crocheted sweater.
8 May 2001	The Artist.	Loading... Actually, his nose is shaded, it's just very light shading. Hmmm, the armor might look a little like it's crocheted, but more like chain I think. It's supposed to be blue.
10 May 2001	Allene Henderson	Loading... Ooooooohhhh, he's cute. grin The tattoo going across the bridge of his nose and under his eyes reminds me of "The Thirteenth Warrior" because one of the Norsemen had one just like it. I love this pic. Very well done
17 May 2001	Scott McCoskey	Loading... I love this. I feel like I should call him brother and offer him a place to stay. I would love to see this guy in action. You do great stuff, as I type I'm checking out your Scifi gallery too.
27 Mar 2002	Fallynn Summerlead	Loading... All right, Mr. Cooke, after looking at this excellent picture of yours you have tossed to me an inspirational challenge. How long is Kayl's shirt, because I'm going to see if I can make one like it. Meanwhile, I'm looking forwards to seeing more of your work. Shade & Sweetwater FS Brian Keith Cooke replies: "Sent you an e-mail about the mail that he's wearing, so hope that helps. I know some places where you can get some nice blue anodized aluminum, but it's pricey."
20 Oct 2002	Daniel	Loading... Just one thing wrong - a wooden sword hilt??Lots of swords have wooden hilts. If you're refering to the crosspiece being wooden, that's because it was magically hardened.
9 Jun 2003	MsJanie	Loading... Great colors and great detail.Thanks muchly. This is one of my favorites.
17 Apr 2004	JC <jcnkcmo@hot...com>	Loading... Very cute--draw more of him. ; )I plan to. He's my favorite character. Thanks for stopping by.
18 Jan 2006	Loona	Loading... I do like his face, but I don't like that tattoo across his face (sorry). He is a very hansome boy htough.It's actually just drawn on with woad, so no permanent tattoo on his face. Thanks for stopping by!
