Artist's Comments

Been a long time since I did any painting, it feels good to get back to it.

This is Artyr Zahn, Space Captain.

I'm planning on maybe writing a series of short stories featuring him and his crew and the wild adventures they have =)

As always comments of all shapes and sizes are welcomed and very much appreciated! I'd be particularly interested in hearing about what you think of his character, just from the image itself...

Hey! I wondered when I would see another painting from you. ;P Nice job!

I would take a guess at Artyr's character just from the image, but knowing your other writings... I'll probably be off the mark by a lot. :giggle:

He looks determined and the kind of guy that won't leave a man behind. Kinda like a Capt. James Kirk and Capt. Mal Reynolds mix, if ya know what I mean. :)

I love his hair/eyebrows. He looks solid, but with potential danger lurking inside ;)

It's nice to see some of your paintings, again.

Let's see... Serious eyes, mouth almost set in stone, I would say this guy means business, yet would rather use his head than his fists. Maybe had it rough while growing up?

What do you do with a B.A. in English, anyway?

Hi Samjo! Nice work! :thumbsup: I really like the textures! About the character..hmm.... His mouth is strong and gives a determined look but his eyes seem a bit timid and maybe a little sad. He also looks really young. Maybe that's just my view. I don't mean to criticize cause I think you did a great job. The colors and execution are great! What kind of character do you want to develop him as?

he looks like a man that's seen too much to me.

You have four nostrils, just to let you know.

Whoa, nice to see a new painting from you. :D

He looks like he's a bit tired of all the adventures he's had recently. And yet he seems tough enough to eat about a hundred baddies for breakfast. :lol: :XD: I can't wait to read the stories.:aww:

Hehe thanks! =D

Well I can tell you this much -- he won't go hungry! =P I'm going to try and get a few more characters together, and I've got some ideas for the stories as well =)

Hey, thanks! =) I didn't intend him to be sad, more sort of detached, cold, that sort of thing. He is young, but he's been through a lot. He's a no-nonsense sort of guy!

Glad you like it!
