The hulking Ogan'kal are Vetria's oldest humanoid race, having lived in seclusion throughout the mountains and deserts of Dhom for nearly one hundred millenia.

A great schism resulted in two distinct cultures amongst their people, but it was the effort of the Qhumaj'n, holy warrior-shaman, who mended the ancient wounds and bridged the divide between the desert and mountain clans.

After the Heaven's Fall event, they emerged from their isolation to rejoin the humans of Rakan in guiding the shared fate of their continent. In the library-city of Rho'dengorva, the mystics keep watch from on high.

I'm happy with how it turned out, but expansive backgrounds are admittedly uncomfortable territory. To tell the character's story though, he needed a city to protect. His clothing was fun to work with, as was the sword and trying to rationalize the whole two-ended sword deal with unbalanced/different sized blades.

I could go on about the character and the setting (frankly I'd love to) but as much as I love my pet project, the racial portraits being worked on are an exercise more in depth of field, color use, design and cohesion between the three.

After a while I might go back in and add little shingles to the rooftops.

I like your use of perspective and everything else about it. Very ''solid'' and consistent, the style is great. I really like the colors though! They dont look out of place or anything. Awesome picture broski

There is something horribly wrong with my tablet. The more I look at this picture the more I'm angry over the colors. They're too... Saturated without being full, like lemon flavor. Good lemon flavor has that lemon-y fullness. This lemon flavor just has like... Artificial lemon-like pseudoflavor. I dunno.

I am pretty stoked about the character at least.
