So this is the final image result of that tutorial that I am putting together! My muse that is responsible for clever titles has left on vacation, so it is simply his name. "Tjardek, Teirn's Assassin" sounded a little clunky and long.

Anyway, to the point. This took me a fair amount of time, but not an unreasonable amount. Over the course of perhaps two weeks? I'm not sure, I lose track of time. I should really be doing other things.

Most will be explained in the tutorial, when I am able to finish it. I only hope it won't be to ponderous and long, and I may have to upload it in sections. We shall see.

Tjardek is, as stated earlier, an assassin. I felt the poor fellow was drastically underrepresented here, and could use a proper portrait. Here he is in a much older piece... [link]
Wow, he's certainly changed, hasn't he? I daresay I've improved considerably, too! Yes, his eyes are two different colors: The far eye is a dark greenish brown, the left a pale blue grey. It's more than a little unsettling.

Tjardek is a very logical sort of character, as assassins tend to be... he is cold, methodical, yet thinks a great deal and has great compassion for his older brother, Sorstan, who commits suicide in despair over his failure: [link] Tjardek's calm demeanor shatters once he discovers this, and he takes one of his dear brother's dewclaws, along with a tuft of fur, as a token and memorial, which he wears about his neck on a piece of twine. There's plenty more for me to say, but this comment is already getting overlong.

Questions, comments, critiques, etc. are always welcome.
