Artist's Comments

This is Halt, from the book series called Ranger's Apprentice. He's a disgruntled old character but lots of fun because he's serious yet wry. This picture is rather fuzzy, for some reason. I don't know why. :confused:

Many thanks to alleycatscratch.com for the wonderful photos of Ranger's costumes. I spent much time studying those photos for this drawing!

Because I seriously doubt you can ready my handwriting, under Halt's head it says 'not sure if he's going to laugh or bite someone's head off' and beneath that it says 'His nose is rather large and flat because I think that when he was younger he got into some fights that he lost and broke his nose in the process'. Just conjecture on my part, but pretty valid IMO.

Don't be afraid to comment, people!

Medium: Pen and ink for outline, Prismacolor pencils for color on paper
Time: an hour and a half from start to finish (much of which was spent looking up decent pictures)

*bows* Thank you, thank you...

Do you have any suggestions on how to make him better? Is this how you imagined him?

This is, in fact, very much how I imagined him, but the book said he had black hair, not brown hair. It's very good, though. :D

Oh--that's right, isn't it?? For some reason I thought it was brown...:confused: Thanks for pointing that out. Next pic he will have black hair!

i must point out, Halts saxe knife and thrown knife are both to short, and the hair is too long, plus his hair is suposed to be gray

yeah, I stink at drawing weapons...*blushes* And I had been drawing people with long hair or with ponytails and accidentally drew that on with a pen...call it artistic interpretation :)

Also, Halt's hair is grey-FLECKED, not solid grey. I only have one grey pencil and it isn't very dark.

Did you read the caption? I conjecture that perhaps in Halt's earlier years he may have broken his nose, and therefore it's rather large and flat in later times.

After all that explaining: glad you enjoyed and commented! :)
