Kevin's Watch

Man that is good. You've captured a lot of realism there.

I'd never seen what SRD looked like untill a FR book signing.
I always pictured him to look like David Cronenberg. But now I can see that Covenant looks strangely like Mr.Donaldson himself.

This however is in no way a critisism on your pic.

I like how gaunt he looks. You should try doing it with a beard now

Well Done !!!!

I think that almost exactly matches my image of Covenant. The only thing I perceive as different would be his eyes. You have them 'brighter' than I see them in my mind. Very impressive!

It's good. You could have just thrown up a pic of Harrison Ford. But that's another way to go.

Yes, very good. But I think he needs some gray in the hair. I also always pictured his hair a bit shaggy, as he probably didn't go into town for haircuts much.

I think of Covenant's haircuts as being of the self-inflicted variety.

Covenant was a young man in the First Chrons, right? So he wouldn't have gray hair yet if you're looking at the early days. Does it say anywhere what color his hair was? I don't remember that. I do remember on more than one occasion comments being made about his gray eyes though. I always pictured him as having light brown hair and a more pale complexion. He was a writer, so he didn't spend a lot of tme in the sun, I'd say. Some things are described in vivid detail, but Covenant somehow is left somewhat vague in his appearance. Anyone notice that?

I think you will find that most of the characters have a very vague

descriptions or are described in a way that indicates their personality

for example

". . . [he] had a crooked, humane mouth . . . between his perilous eyes and kind mouth, the square blade of his nose mediated like a rudder . . ."

LFB, pg 210-211

"The attacker was a young man with a powerful frame and dark hair . . ."

LFB, pg 106

You may get some help visualizing characters by perusing the many casting threads in the movie forum.

what program are you using to create your characters?

keep it up, its always great to see new TCTC artwork.

I have been using DAZ Studio 2.5 for the characters and Bryce 6 for Isle of

the One Tree, Blackhawk.

HE was so all-fired determined to shave his beard all the time, which means if his beard was growing, so was his hair. So how did he explain going back to his real world with short hair after it grew out for several months in the Land? He always explained that he had to shave his beard in order to be like he was when he left. So why not his haircut? I know that hair grows about half an inch each month. So in six months, he'd look like Mick Jagger at least. But only in the Land??? BH got me thinking with his super-cool avatar.......with SHORT hair that didn't grow like his beard. I think I said this before in another thread......sorry. Less than 16 months to AATE!!!! Still hate that title.....

How about a stab at the fabled white t-shirt, boney?

Fabled white T shirt ?

I think you did especially well with the outraged "I can't believe this, not AGAIN" look in his eyes.. and the tense, determined set to his jaw/chin. (more evident in the picture that is sans beard)

I thought both the bearded and beardless images were remarkable. Quite close to how I imagined him, though I confess I see his eyebrows a bit more concerned and his mouth more sour.

But the facial structure? Spot-on, especially the cheeks and eyes.

Any chance of seeing a full-body render (with clothes, obviously)? I don't know the amount of work it takes to create one of these models, so I can't speak to difficulty.

As for the fabled white tee, wasn't that what he was wearing in the Wounded Land?

Here is another take on TC
