Balladar and Chyril

Private Commission

Medium: Photoshop

"The character names are Balladar and Chyril and both are human. The two have been companions and lovers over numerous years, sharing many travels together and have recently returned home, enjoying the moonlit city street.

Balladar is a self assured/confident warrior with slight arrogance in his personailty. He is fiercely loyal to his kingdom, lover - Chyril , and his travelling companion - his dog, Humphrey (named after a fallen warrior). Balladar is a kingmaker rather than a king and is content with his role in life. His body screams of raw physical power, standing at 6' 4', broad muscular shoulders, arms, chest, and legs, all in proportion to one another, yet his face betrays him as an educated man schooled in the art of war and politics.

Chyril is almost the exact opposite of Balladar in both body and personailty. Whereas he calculates every move, she jumps in without hesitation; always living for the moment and looking for danger. A noble by birth, she chooses the lifestyle of adventure. Standing 5' 6" she has flowing auburn hair that hangs freely across her bare back. Her face always wears a slightly sexy inviting smirk, and her deep blue eyes are always taking in the surroundings looking for more adventure. Unlike Balladar's "professional/no skin" look, the more skin shown on Chyril's character to show off her feminine curves, the better.

Humphrey is the comic relief. He is simply a happy go lucky black and white Old English Sheepdog. Always by his master's side, he is ever watching for any trouble that may appear, yet tends to wear a smile as much as a dog can."
