Well, I guess it's my turn to post up some reference material and descriptors for the King of Dragons. I figured that I'd just go the simplest route and just repost my sprite work for Valon. feel free to take liberties with clothing if you wish, I'm game for just about whatever.

Would it be possible to get a short character description of his personality? I find it really helps me draw the character.

I'm sure DL will help you with that (wait, it occurs to me, newer members might have missed this, we usually call "AngelicTragedy" DL because his original forum name was Dragon Lord), but in the meantime, you can get a healthy dose of modern-day Valon prose in All the King's Men! Man, that's a cool topic. Speaking of which, if Lee's not chiming in with a Hector sprite and the Hector contest is officially over, then... I'd like to add ISARA LERAL, also from King's Men, to the list.

Lee never actually updated the list since the Terminer round but he let me add Halley to it, so
ETA: that would make it as follows:
Valon Didn't Blackbird Lorenna Carlos/Evelyn/Mel/Jay Silumas Miko Nick Elementary Students from Terminer (Dalisay, Emma Ray Jo, Mica, and so forth) Telrien Halley Isara Leral
the glacial pace that this contest moves at makes me really sad. also the fact that two of our five artists are like on hiatus or something really sucks

Here's something that I quickly threw together for ya Addison:
Valon is a pillar of power, a champion of good, and a kind leader. If there was a single word that could describe Valon it would be eclectic. He is a fierce warrior that has been known to have a black temper, a loving father and king, and a voice of reason when all reason seems to flee from the minds of men. Valon can be a creature of extremes, going from a joyful man-child to a whirling storm of death when someone he cares for is threatened. He's civil to most everyone whom he isn't familiar with and fiercely loyal to those who have earned his trust.
Super all over the place, but sleep is a thing not in my life right now.

I'd love to see Valon and Silumas have a conversation.

every time i read valon in a post, my mental camera is at a low angle, valon is in a power stance with his arms crossed hovering, and he has a cape fluttering in the wind. after that he solemnly says "grandeur wave" and everything explodes.

If that isn't how King's Men ends, I will be disappointed

For your viewing pleasure. Loved that jacket, so I thought I'd draw him putting it on?

Alright, let's do this shit! Firstly. LoogsThis piece is pretty cool, I'm really digging it. The clothing choice is interesting and favors Valon's style quite a bit. The only things that I'm really kinda on the fence are the age and the nose. As I've stated before elsewhere, Valon is in his fifties but for Aldra-Sa that is basically like being in your mid to late twenties. Not to huge of an issue but something that I have to note. The nose of the other hand REALLY bothers me more than it should. His nose being turned up like it is makes me feel that he's way more of a snob than he ever has been. It just doesn't do it for me. All in all, creative and well done 7.5/10AddisonSimple, to the point, and dynamic. I love the fact that you chose to go with the jacket that I sprited so very long ago and it warms my heart. This piece really captures a moment of Valon walking away from someone with a parting wave and I love it. I do have to be a bit critical in a couple aspects though. The face seems a bit stumpy and the lips are way to full. For having no experience with Valon as a character you did a wonderful job. 8/10Begin the next round at your pleasure, Lee. Didn't is next.
