Enter Kepan and Perola

This is another scene from my graphic book called Einherjar "The Quest for Lehiere."

After the death of one of my Red Shirt characters named Raule (Red shirt character is referencing throw away characters from Startrek) another mysterious stranger had arrived in the kings council chambers.

Einherjar's religious leader Perola refered to as a Schowen, and her bodyguard Kepan called Protecteres was summoned to appear before the king.

The mysterious stranger is a messenger from the kingdom of Leheire and the messenger is harbinger of horrendous news. Cyborgs from the kingdom of Dominus are attacking every town and village around the kingdom of Leheire.

These cyborgs armies are mounting their forces and preparing to attack the kingdom of Lehiere. The strange and androgynous inhabitants of Lehiere have long since been an ally to the kingdom of Einherjar. They are now begging king Fihtan to come to their aid.

I drew this illustration using a regular number two pencil, a mechanical 5 mm pencil, and a 8b pencil.

This drawing is actually one of my favorite drawings. I love the way I drew Kepan's cape covering half his body. Call me vain, but I love the way I drew his slacks tucked inside his boot.

His look of fierce determination never leaves his face. Kepan is my favorite character in my graphic book. He also has enchantments given to him by Perola to enhance his fighting abilities.

***Note from Kerry:
Shane, it's good to see an artist like things about their own work. Some of us are way too critical of ourselves and we could learn a thing or two from you.
