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

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

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!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
The Cutting Edge is a weekly article that features brand new selected high quality art products that caught our eyes. Check out the cutting edge prints some of your fellow artists have submitted in the past week!
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant.
