Description
I do not know much about this guy yet. He is the father of a black siderian male that has a reputation that is frowned upon... And we all know that reputation can be contagious.Ragnar Grav.
Last name may be a chosen name, to hide his real identity, or maybe it’s the other way around – that his real name is Grav, but that he is known as Ragnar Atheris
Atheris, maybe.
Based on his son’s reputation others may call him Sandstorm or Brown mamba for fun.
Siderian, male, Scandinavian
He is the great grandfather of my main character Yava. I haven’t calculated his age yet, but 3 generations older means that he should be approximately 90-100 years older than Yava.
Iceland? He is from the Icelandic lineage, at least.
No clue yet, but probably black-based siderian female, since their two known offspring are both plain black.
For now, 1 son (Fannar) and 1 daughter (Fjara). They are both plain black, but Fannar has green eyes and Fjara has yellow eyes.
She below for a list of art of his family members.
Intimidating, sportive, dexterous, muscled, silent observer, collected.
Ambiguous: despite his stern appearance, he is a loyal and trustworthy friend, but only a few siderians know that he can also be a frightful enemy. He is true to his words.
No idea, probably same height as his son Fannar.
Muscular build with a cat-like curved backbone melting into a wide and fluffy tail. He carries his head high and has a flexed stance, resulting in a cast-iron but vigilant/light-heeled expression. His face is the typical Scandinavian triangular shape (Oriental-cat like). Slanted eyes, typical shape (how do I explain this) with a stern expression.
Long-haired solid Havana with manes, facial hair, a short and long goatee (layered goatee) and a few ornaments on the legs. He is long-haired, so it is difficult to see the difference between his standard coat and ornaments (e.g. near the elbows and knees).
Direct, calm and uses a range of volumes – from soft whispery to penetratingly pure. Possibly baritone to slightly bass with a slightly powerful and attention-claiming tone.
Working on this...
Most likely I’ll end up listening to more Disney villains in different languages, but for now, the German Doctor Facilier from The Princess and the Frog. Only the talking, lower parts (e.g. 1:55 - 2:03), not the nasal or high singing tone!
Present, blunt/honest when needed, but overall collected and observant attitude, rational, loyal to his friends/family, not a joker but likes to laugh and can be pleasant companionship. Doesn’t tolerate mockery. At all.
He is master in martial arts and has a small class with maybe 3 or 4 siderians in training, one of which is his son Fannar.
Spoiler alert: Ragnar and Fannar will be hired by the leader of Boiling Bay (Iceland) for a defense against an invasion coming from Norway. That leader happens to be the mother of Sivana. This is probably how Sivana and Fannar met, later leading to two granddaughters for Ragnar, one of which is named after him because she is also Havana brown – Ragna. The other is Malta; she is the mother of Yava and therefore the connection between this family and family Sætansen (Stian). Ragnar doesn’t approve of Malta’s relationship with a Sætansen (Axel), because the two families have met before long ago in Boiling Bay… and not in a friendly way. So, guess who led the invasion?

So...this is Malta's grandfather I think if I am remembering correctly? Sorry I thought I'd commented on this before now. Feels terribly ashamed But anyway he has a beautiful and impressive composition. I love his frame and his strong jaw. Also his eyes are really intense. I love this he's great!

Yes indeed! And Malta's sister, Ragna, is named after him. (Actually, I named their grandfather after Ragnar, but in the story it's the other way around XD)
Thank you! Impressive composition indeed, but his personality is not as intense as he looks.. Although he is a (good) fighter, he is also very sociable. Weird contrast.

Oh that is really cool! I like that!
Awww that's nice though, not a bad personality I'd say.

Wow that's a surprise!! He's really beautiful and I notice that your skills in drawing fur have improved a lot! It looks soft and realistic now. The idea of having a sketch of the profile behind the portrait drawing is clever as well! The only suggestion I have is to make the white around the letters a bit less bright - it has the tendency to draw the attention of the viewer a bit too much (light parts tend to stimulate eye saccades towards it XD).
Oeh what kinda martial art equivalent would he be training? Makes me want to think a bit more in detail about how variable fighting styles could be implemented in siderian culture.

Ha surprise!
Good tip - will change it immediately! I added some light behind his head in the body view now to attract the eyes.
I think that he will train the sneaky silent sort of martial arts, the quick and effective attacks and aikido-like defense, with a good balance of both attack and defense. His pupils may be interested or "talented" in either more defense or attack skills, and I think that Fannar is more interested in the various attack methods because of his secret (imposed) job. Probably Yava will learn more defense skills
