Description
So I decided to pound this out while I had everything else in the works. Too many commissions, professional work, and other things to handle at the moment, so please forgive me if I seem like I'm ignoring you. (I'm not.)

This particular character reference is relevant if you're interested in entering the second theme of my contest (look at my most recent journals for more information!). That is, if anyone is even remotely interested. HA.

If nothing else, we finally get to see what Reivig looks like, in proper color and everything. He's a good example of what most pallanophs of the Teirn tribe tend to look like: A bit shorter, stockier, and of varying brown tones. The dark hackles along the neck and back are a trademark of that tribe. He makes a pretty good contrast in character and appearance to his "assassin brother-in-arms," Sorstan. It's a pity I haven't drawn more of this stubborn fellow, but I'm sure those days are yet to come.
(You might be amused to know that I had to enlarge his eentsy weensy pinhead in Photoshop. It looked fine when I sketched it, but I saw once I progressed to color that it definitely wasn't right. He does have a slightly smallish head, though.) His paws are also a bit large for a Teirn. Etc.

Derwent colored pencils (studio, artists, and coloursoft) as well as a few traces of Prismacolor/Caran d' Ache Supracolor (hard to beat their opaque whites!) on Canson Mi-Teintes pastel paper. My working size is roughly 9 x 12".

Comments, critiques, questions, etc. are welcome.
