      Thank you, Patrick and good eye there!

      He has lost much in his struggle against demonic creatures...

    Amazing character! I really like his war paintings, it makes him more unique.
    The song is simply awesome too.

      Thanks a lot, Daniela!

      I haven't done too many characters with warpaints, but for Nicolai it felt right. He would pass for a very regular man otherwise, but the warpaint adds the his warrior treats and they way he thinks and acts in battles...

      Song has a bit of an Eastern touch, mainly because Nicolai hails from the East in my world...

    I'm expecting, what a character he will develope....he seems to me more friendly and thoughtful with mystic eyes....and the hairs...hm soft? This is in strong contrast to the armor and the war-paint...and...this powerful aggressive music...

      Nicolai is somewhat close to what we would call a knight. He hails from a land very distant to the ordinary "knight nations" though, so his class is a bit different compared to the the regular "Western" knight that we know. He hunts the undead and demonic creatures and trust in meditation as well as a high will-power. His aggressive side emerges mainly in the battles...

    Interesting fellow,.. he obviously pays a lot time and effort to his hair being all in the right place,.. and then has this badass warpaint,.. and ( is that mud on his face) ??
    It's an interesting contrast, was it on purpose,.. ??

      Thank you!

      Well, I have to say there are quite few hairs I really like for men. I tned to use the same over and over, so I try to break that circle. This guy is also wearing a helmet most of the time, so perhaps his hairdo is because of the pressure of the helm...

      It's a warpaint and dirt textures. I usually use the dirt option in the character creation, both for men and women. To me it´s obvious, because they are adventurers spending both days and nights out in the wild or in dusty old tombs and caves,..at least mine are!

    Excellent details on Nicolai, and the background is blurred nicely as well.

      Thank you very much, Dylan!

      There has been few men from my character gallery lately, but it's kind of self-explanatory since it's so much more fun creating women. Nicolai here hails from a faraway land to the East, much inspired by the ancient Japan, but with knighthood orders similar to the feudal socities in medieval West...
