The nose knows…
[quote=”streudel”]I used one of the pictures in the Sad downloads for a model, because he looks so, I don’t know, warrior-like in it …[/quote]
It’s his Roman nose, it has a real gladiator feel to it.
[quote=”streudel”]The nose was hell to do. I feel it’s one of his most striking features…[/quote]
Well, his nose AND his brace. But tell me about it, I sure wouldn’t want to get in striking distance of his nose. Crikey! 😯 😉
[quote=”streudel”]I thought he looks rather sad to me, too. Kai would say the Dead do not feel, but I’ve always thought he looked somewhat angsty in Supernova. Maybe it’s also some of my view of Kai projected in there, he’s such a tragic figure to me. I consider a high compliment that everyone feels I brought some of my own interpretation to it.[/quote]
Kai clearly did show emotion in the LEXX movies, but frankly, I always felt that his “The dead do not” talk was pretence and an excuse … His constant repetition to me showed that he really felt rather sorry for himself being dead. He’d say “The dead do not feel” to hide his emotional vulnerability (partially due to his impotence I believe). I wrote a little essay before @ LEXX.com on this; probably been lost to the ether.
Anyway, great sketch, and I look forward to seeing more of your artwork. 🙂
