Description
For 's contest to draw her depiction of the Stranger from the Myst series, Cyan.He is seen here in the Rotating Room, which is the first room you get to in Riven, the sequel to Myst.
I figure that, after being trapped in a cage and his book being stolen by strange people, walking into a creepy room filled with strange scarab beetle ornaments was not the first thing Cyan wanted to do. Thus, he is looking wary.

There are so many things I love about this picture, but I think the expression is what I love the best.

I've never played realMyst - what is it? Is it online?

I don't think it is online. It's pretty much a 3-D version of Myst that has real-time control. You cn go anywhere on the island jsut about.

Karyn, you must become an illustrator of r comics and fantasy novels! This communicates his fear so acutely, even I feel somewhat fearful of what might lurk the next corner! The shadowing is exemplary, and the convex lighting only heightens the tense suspense. How do you compile such incredible backgrounds?!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Aww, thanks! I just studied some frames from the game to get the background, and my brothers helped me figure out the lighting. They're really good at that sort of stuff; I couldn't do it without them.

Your execution of the piece was exemplary, and kudos to your brothers for the great work likewise!
I can never draw people shadowed by the dark.

Sure you can! You just have to observe how light falls on the face and body, and practice!

You are right! I hope I shall find some time to practice, you are such a dear friend, thank you ever so much for encouraging me!

Oh wow, I really really like this! The mood, the lighting, the expression on his face, the accuracy as regards his satchel, it's fantastic! You've outdone yourself on this one. Plus, the black at the bottom and the top kind of makes it look like a frame from a movie.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it; I'm pretty happy with it. I studied all your reference pictures very carefully! I also hid the Cyan worlds logo on his notebook
Good luck with the contest!

That room does look creepy. I like the shadows on his hand. And the stony texture to the walls and the pillar.

Thank you! It was rather creepy. A lot of the Myst games involve creepy, surreal but fascinating environments.
