    Atlan´s works.

    Well, I just introduced myself at the General Discussion forum. Here´s my first drawing here, from my Dune Animated series. Hope you like it.

    Jessica Atreides painting, when she still lived at Caladan.

    While it's a great painting....it's not Jessica.

    Beautiful color palette and textures! I am unfamiliar with the series, so I cannot comment on that aspect. :)

    Sure she is. She just got her hair dyed.

    Could you explain why you said that?

    You have apparently not read the books....otherwise you might not ask why. It's not just the red hair...stylization aside, I would never have guessed who it was without it being stated.

    Re: Atlan´s works.

    Jessica is described as having "hair like shaded bronze" so it's okay for me. Very good, in fact - my only crit would be that she looks a bit young.

    I've read some of the books, years ago, but I still picture her as looking like Francesca Annis in David Lynch's movie version.

    You could have just said "it is too different from the book's description." It is true that Jessica usually give me the impression of a classy lady since she was a queen of some sort, but she did spent later part of her life living among the Fremen, so her outfit does make sense to me.

    Re: Atlan´s works.

    In fact, this drawing started as an evolution of a Chany design I did a long time ago, os I guess she kinda looks more like Chany than Jessica. Anyway, I tend to use the novels just as inspiration for my drawings, and the painting depicts her younger, because it´s supposed to be hanging at her home at Caladan, where she lived before moving to Arrakis.

     By the way, here is Chany.
