Description
This is just a very loose re-visioning of three characters from Frank Herbert's Dune universe, done for my September Art JamThe characters are Feyd-Rautha, Alia Atreides and Paul Atreides. Of course these were done by someone who has read the book only once, so I'm sure they appear much different here than in the text.
All characters (C) Frank Herbert

From the description: "The characters are Feyd-Rautha, Alia Atreides and Paul Atreides."

Oh my, Alia is simply GREAT! She is how I imagined her in books. Maybe Paul and Feyd not but still much detailed and impressive work.

Nice job on the characters - if you're going to do "fan art", it might as well be for something worthwhile. 'Dune' (and the subsequent building of that incredible possible-history of mankind) is a masterpiece and Herbert a genius. Bravo for the silent acknowledgement of such.

Thanks, I've never been a big fan of Dune (I found the multiple page speaches daunting) but am really glad I threw in for this Art Jam, it was a lot of fun

Herbert does have a tendency to wax poetic, and often.

Why do they look so pissed off? Maybe .. they got sand in their eyes?
Anyway, good job on clothes design. I really like it .. I haven't read the book, only played one of the old games and watched parts of the movie. But I honestly don't care if they look like the "real" characters described in the text. They're cool enough to go as original characters

QuestingRaven In reply to Dillerkind [2007-10-01 15:36:22 +0000 UTC]
I dunno ... I think it's a universal text somewhere that says all characters must look pissed off at all times.

Very cool, love. Wish I'd been able to do more than just litle cute doodles, especially with what I had in mind for Feyd. I even had most of the challenge elements in my idea too! Ah, eprhaps next time.
