Baron Harkonnenby ~drywipen

Digital Art / Paintings & Airbrushing / Sci-Fi

Ah, the Baron. You've got to love the Baron.

A well known character from the classic 1965 novel, Dune by Frank Herbert.

According to the book the Baron is "grossly and immensely fat". Unable to carry his own weight he has anti-gravity "suspensors" strapped to his body, beneath his clothes, which sustain most of his fat making him surprisingly fleet of foot.

Due to the screen adaptations I think most people underestimate the Baron's sheer bulk. As for the power of flight, well...

This has very solid shading and a gothic, dark elegance. What are the three wingdings at the top between the sets of candles above him?

I totally agree about the underestimated weight and the flying thing lol - one of the more accurate depictions I've seen so far... So few people actually pay attention to the books it seems but you've got some good ideas here

Many thanks, I was begining to think I was the only one who'd noticed.
