I like your new Avatar.. cant be any other than Findail.....

Hue... somehow your image opened your images on imageshack...I think its linked to the picture.

I was scrolling through some of your pieces and the one of Lena that you didnt post here is almost a ringer for me... very nice.

you were right about the blue dress too... it was her mother that was wearing brown..

keep up the good work, its inspiring.... keeps me going to know someone else is also working on this story. :D

I have just tested one or two of my other images and they all link through to imageshack. Something I must keep in mind especially if I have something under wraps, so to speak.

I must admit BH that I have a particular reason for cranking out all these images, which at this moment I would rather not say anything else :D

10/10 for guessing my avatar correctly ;)

You know I love your work, HoB. But this time I think you're hung up on interpreting "curly hair" as kinky, afro-type hair, and it detracts. Look at Leonidas in 300.

Reminiscent of "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

Great job, gets better with every one

Linden should have quailed. His certainty was as bitter as the touch of a Raver: it should have defeated her. But it did not. How often had she heard Lord Foul or his servants prophesy destruction, attempting to impose despair? And how often had Thomas Covenant shown her that it was possible to stand upright under the weight of utter hopelessness?

Better. But the curly hair and flat nose have been lost. And, btw, I find the halter tops to be detractingly effeminate. "They wore short ocher tunics belted in blue that appeared to be made of vellum, and their lower legs and feet were bare." I imagine something like a gi without pants.

Nope. the flat nose is till there. All I have done is swapped the hair and reposed the haruchai.

(If you still want input:) That ochre robe is closer to what I imagine. However, it's too tight-fitting, which is an obstruction during combat. (There's no spandex in the Land.) That's why I said like a gi. The sleeves should be wider so as to be loose and unobstructive. Similarly, the upper body of the tunic should be loose, but gathered at the waste by the blue belt. It should be a bit longer: short doesn't have to mean exposing the jewels. Think kilt-length; leave people wondering what they wear underneath.

Something like this, if you take away the white under-tunic and keep only the beige part.

Yes, I always welcome feedback. In this case, there was a slight problem with terms. When you said gi i thought you said gee eye (as in GI Joe). So I am please you posted image :D And of course it fits in with SRD interest in Martial Arts.

Getting closer, at least as far as I am concerned.

By gi, I meant like in karate.

Can you tighten the belt, so it is more gathered at the waist? Otherwise, the tunic looks great to me.

Trolling through google images for "men short curly hair", I have found your haruchai haircut. link
