Artist's Comments

From the Wraeththu novels of Storm Constantine. Wraeththu are androgynes - combination of male and female - who rose from the ashes of doomed humanity. Therefore any artwork which purports to be harrish has to have dual gender features.

This is a representation of Calanthe, the anti hero of the novels.

THis is so cool, because I've never really imagined Calanthe like this, but it sorta looks like him anyway :D It's really good that you've given him the correct hair colour and eye colour, too. ^^

Thank you! I tried to go by the descriptions in the novel, so Calanthe has tawny skin, white blond hair and violet eyes. And of course, he is spectacularly beautiful!

Yup, this probably is what he's really supposed to look like :D

Thank you! I photoshopped those from an amethyst set behind three layers of various textures. Much fiddling but well worth the effort.

lol thank you! I used three layers of male and female basic forms to reach that combination. It seems to be the only way to get the right look unless you're a real artist! Hehehehe!
