OGIER

Ogier (pronounced: OH-gehr) are a race of non-human creatures who have an intense love of knowledge and peace.

Ogier men stand about ten feet tall ("half again as tall as a man"). The women are only slightly shorter, and softer in feature. They have broad noses, wide mouths, long tufted ears, and eyes the size of teacups.

LOIAL

He stands tall, almost ten feet, and like all Ogier his face has a broad, almost snout-like nose, and eyebrows that hang down like tails framing pale eyes as big as teacups. His ears poke up to tufted points through shaggy black hair, and twitch when his emotions are running high. His voice is as deep as a drum. His smile splits his face in two, and shows teeth as broad as chisels. His fingers are broad enough for three, on hands big enough for hams. He is considered young amongst Ogier, at about ninety years old.

THE PROCESS:

01a.JPG

The first few steps are always about finding the right body type for the character.

He's standing too still so I've made him bent down a bit in a manner of talking to someone politely.

This tells a lot more about what this character is really like.

A lot better than just drawing him standing still doing nothing.

Loial is a close friend to the three main characters of this series that include Mat (from my previous post), Rand al'Thor and Perrin Aybara.

Loial is such a bookworm he always carries books in his coat pockets.

The huge wooden quarterstaff that he carries with him is a 'Sung Wood'. It was wrought from a tree using a rare talent among the Ogiers called 'Treesinging'.

He follows the three boys after he found out about them heading off out into the world of adventures. He loves to read stories about adventures and always imagines himself to be in one.

He is also an aspiring writer. He has joined the journey with these three interesting characters that he believes one day will be remembered as great legends. He intends to write their story.

Of course, writing about adventures is not the same as to really be in one. "I want to write of adventures, not have them." — Loial.

Getting himself caught in scenes of life-threatening situations and even battles while trying to write stories about them reveals a side of him that he never knew he is capable of doing. Given his size and strength, he is actually quite a formidable force to be reckoned with.

Well, there you have it. Done.

Nice job, Loial was always a favorite of mine. Did you ever see that weird pilot episode of a short lived Wheel of Time TV show that they aired in the middle of the night? It sucked and they never made another episode but I wish somebody would turn Wheel of Time into a good TV show, it would be too long to be a movie series each movie would be like 9 hours long if they did it right and didn't chop it to pieces. I think the rights have been traded back and forth a few times.

Thank you, @renegadetrader! :) The one with Billy Zane? I watched it on Youtube. My soul wept in agony. A part of me kind of want to see it on screen but, i have a strong feeling they would mess it up really bad. Really realy bad.

So, Nope.

Very good work! I like the smooth transitions in pastel, shade and skin tints.

Saya adore gila the first few sketches tu. i have things with sketchy strokes 😁 final product pun awesome!

Sama bro, ada part best yang hilang bila dah buat refinements. Kadang best jugak buat finished work yang masih mengekalkan sketchy strokes tu. Thank you! 🙏

I like it, reminds me of the old dungeons and dragons cartoon show. Keep up the good work :D

Hi Oren, I can see your effort to complete with satisfaction. Maybe you can add how you add color to your character.

I thought i can get away with that. Hehe! 😅 Thank you for pointing it out. I will try my best to write more on the technical aspects for my progress shots in my upcoming posts.
