Description
Harlequine is of the dark race of puppeteers that non-puppeteers almost never heard of in Known Space, much less even seen. On Larry Niven's Ringworld, Harlequine explores ancient human ruins looking for answers to mysteries involving the origin of his own species.This character was inspired by Larry Niven's and Arthur C. Clark's writing and where they might intersect involving the children of the Aiyan species and the puppeteers.
Media is colored pencils and digital airbrush.

I think it would have looked better if you would have left the airbrush out, but the puppeteer and the colours are still pretty cool.

Very Nice!
And he's a brave one too!
As said in another comment, there's way too little of this art.

Nice!
There's way too little Niven-based art out there.
Out of curiosity, have you ever read his book 'rotector'?

I've never really imagined a puppeteer like that before, but it's definately a good piece of artwork and one of the best depictions I've seen.

I like to stretch my imaginations to beyond, and then some.

Very neat, I like your interpretation of the "flashlight laser" having no sharp edges in true puppeteer design fashion. A very good rendering of the mouths as well.

Thankies! Niven was a big inspiration to me growing up. He gave me a real taste for hard science fiction. ^__^ Gots tons of Sci-Fi images in the old gallery , if you want to take a look.
