WIP for Night's King

I started this some time ago and then just let it languish on the back burner. But I am considering giving it another go.

So I decided to do the Night's King from Game of Thrones because I love his crown of ice. Still to come are the glowing blue eyes and a blizzard

This is a sepiatone study for the Night's King. I like it more than the actual render; there is something compelling about the minimalist approach...

I decided to test out the glowing blue eyes here because I just couldn't wait. Where do you suppose he got the melange from?

The blue glowing eyes are great!

Save me Lisa Russo, for I wear the finest silks from TraLaLollydale!

      No, just a tad terrified of anything scarier than what you have already managed to do. Sorry, used an iPhone I’m guessing the emojis don’t show properly.

Of course it all starts with the rough sketch! I love it Alex!

Yep. The rework is giving me some problems, though

This King seemed very authoritative, graceful and wise. In sepiatone, he looks more ancient and eternal. With blue eyes… Whoa! Awesome!

He’s supposed to look evil. I wonder if it is a problem with the lighting?

  It could be a matter of lighting, especially if lighting can make his facial expressions more violent, cunning, threatening and dangerous. Or maybe it could be added with a grin in his mouth. Do I sound like smarty-pants?

    Nope, but you do sound helpful

I’m glad you like it, but I’m far from happy with these results

Super scary but well done!

I always want him to say “Boo!” but he never does
