Technical information:
"This character was added much later to the story arch. I felt there were too many armoured characters. The original story gravitated around Vral and the Dregonoths (dream riders). This character emerged out of Tormoraz who was the original main focus of the whole story (see dream riders section in archive).

Fig.1 is the picture that got the most reaction from young viewers. So i tried to stay as close to it as possible. Cut the hair a bit shorter. And had to change the colour sceem. I was tired of the brown colored hero look. The Dregonoths are white, Vral is white so is Fardesil , and Irslif. I love blue, so I figured I should play with blue. I wanted something nordic looking. So I let myself be inspired by Laponeese traditional clothing (fig.3) and also Kai Nielsen's artwork (fig 2). Also, I let myself be inspired by Mamoru Nagano's Knight of gold (fig.4). Turing the mecha into clothing. The final result is what you see above. Beneath the blue red and white cloak,I gave him a very basic black and white outfit. Inspired by the Kenner Han Solo action figure of the 70s (fig5). I always thought that the black and white outfit looked really cool. working on a 3d representation of the character made me realise that the design make him look rather aristrocratic. tears and stress marks will be added to his closthes based on what ive obsreved on my own clothes, shoes and boots. He is, after all, a representative of the working poor."
