Damien: Student of Philology

Posted Aug 12, 2007, 2:38:44 AM UTC
Damien Cloudbry the younger brother of my Castrato Character Oriel Livre aka Issac Cloudbry. Due to his brother's fame and generosity he and his mother were saved from their life of poverty on a fuedal plantation.

Damien very much loves to learn and most of all he loves to study books and literature.
He aspires to study philology and become a famous Scholar.
He's the sort of person that cringes when someone opens a book too far. He's also just as particular when it comes to his hair ..if perhaps not more so XP

I have to say this background took me awhile...mostly to get the concept I wanted and secondly to get the courage to color the thing. I think it turned out pretty well  =D yay

Definition of Philology: the study of literary texts and of written records, the establishment of their authenticity and their original form, and the determination of their meaning.

2. Obsolete. the love of learning and literature. (this would not be obsolete however for Damiens time period around the 15th century) (Dictionary.com)

    Nice rich colors on his garb, and a lovely touch with the shading on the quilted details. It seems quite elegant, and perhaps a little tricky to move in - but for somebody in a very staid and careful profession, that may not be a problem!

    Is there any particular symbolism to the design of the outfit? I notice the recurring crown - is he under royal patronage, or in the uniform of a royal university?

    What really caught my eye in the thumbnail of this was the receding angles in the background. Great depth to the image!
