I sat on this piece for a while in a near-completed state thinking that I just didn't have the time I needed to get in and really finish him up, especially as far as detailing out the uniform and stuff. Then I thought: what the heck? Just let this be an exploration into Dalinar's face, and I'll worry about the uniform and stuff on a future piece.
I've done a few portraits straightforward like this, and though they've been great practice, I'm really wanting to do something with a bit of action to it to keep pushing my education forward.
So I present: my take on Dalinar. I've spent a lot of time and iterations of drawing Dalinar over the past couple of years, and he's been pretty unique in that I've had a relatively clear idea in my head of what he would look like. I'm happy to say that this drawing matches my inner image of him fairly closely =) Not to say that I wouldn't do a redesign someday if I really felt the need.
Enjoy! And thanks brandon for writing such a well-rounded, complex-and-challenged-but-also-trying-to-be-good-despite-nearly-everyone-being-against-him character. Love this guy.
