SciFi and Fantasy Art Female guard by Panu Hakkarainen

This head study represents a female member of the Mardai Imperial guard. Imperial guard is a highly respected military branch and even Imperial guard privates are treated as officers. Imperial guards are placed as the finest troops of the continent and rivaled by no one in man-to-man fight. Not even elven warriors of southern woods. Only Pretorian war mastodonts are more feared in battlefields.

Mardai imperial guard, southern wood elves and pretorian war mastodonts were elements of my planned fantasy comic world.

10 Oct 2003	Sarah	Loading... woohoo, first comment. Great detail in this one. the chain mail looks very real, it must have taken a long time. Panu Hakkarainen replies: "Woohoo again, now my every picture has at least one comment. But seriously, thanks about your comments Sarah. I am also quite satisfied about the chain mail. It really pleases my eye although if you look closely you can clearly see that the chains are not "properly" attached to each others. But that was not my goal on the first place. Like you said the look of it is real enough. (at least for me, that is)"
31 Oct 2003	Anu Jalo	Loading... Hi Panu, this is very skillfully made facial study. I like her determined look. You are quite a wizard with pencil : ) -Anu
21 Nov 2003	Julia Hayn	Loading... Wow, this helmet is really great! Good work! Panu Hakkarainen replies: "Thanks Julia! I like it myself too. You see I have this thing with Roman style helmets. They are just way too cool. heh. But seriously I think that the classic "roman helmet" is one of the most unique and best looking helmets which man has ever produced. So it was a pleasure to draw. And if others can get pleasure when watching, it is twice better..."
8 Apr 2004	Alexandre Lalonde	Loading... looks good!! I've never hearn about a maiden imperial guard before... looks neet! must of been in the roman time because her helmet really does look like a Roman Imperial Gallic Legionnaires Helmet. the only difference is the mohawk top part.
1 Aug 2004	Nonnie	Loading... Gorgouse! I hate doing Cahinmaille, tried it once, and decided to cut the picture down instead! Great helmet, makes me want to have one! I love the expression on her face.
