It reminded me of the chap that was in that karate program, the old man kept calling him "glasshopper" - David Caradine was it?
Yes (googled), but it was Kung Fu. Didn't realise he was dead. Wasn't he in that film with Jane Fonda "They shoot horses don't they"? Or was that a different Caradine?
No (googled again) that was Michael Sarrazin. They do look slightly alike.

I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!

The skin is some seriously immense work Not so sure about the expression again, this one feels even less Haruchai to me, though some of that may be because of the eyes, are they supposed to be like that?
No need to blush, people have different levels of face recognition, I'm generally awful at that, to the point there was a time I thought one of my favorite actors, namely Tim Curry, was three different actors And I've got lots of more samples like that.Iolanthe wrote:No (googled again) that was Michael Sarrazin.

That's good! Much easier to see now that it's lightened up, and the eyes are better. Like the background too.
Has he invested in hair straighteners? I thought they were curly!

Eh, there's room for artistic license. The eyes are a hint at the haruchai mindwelding abilities I would think (or maybe an allegorical message?)What's with the eye-balls? They're always missin (except in the first picture.)
However, they were flat-faced and brown-skinned, with curly hair cropped short, as Iolanthe has already mentioned. I wouldn't mind seeing a version with a flatter nose and curly hair. [/i]
I wouldn't call the nose thin or long. Never really had a strong mental image of them but I remember their depiction in the Bed Time Hour (which had curly black wigs) and I just couldn't imagine them as haruchai. They were just wrong. This fellow however has a haruchai air.
Going a little bit off topic, what do we suppose the haruchai look like experience-wise? I remember an argument being made that while good fighters can be identified by the scars they sport, the really good fighters are babyfaced since they beat anyone who came close to them. I think the haruchai are more in the first category. They're not supermen, just really good fighters who have to face each other (their equals) as well as all sorts of horrible monsters
Spoiler
though maybe that's changed in the Last chronicles? Until Linden appeared did they fight anyone?
