Artist's Comments

Gannayev aka Gann-of-Dreams, the awesome hagspawn, Dreamwalker, Spirit Shaman, etc. etc. from NWN2: MotB. ^^ I must say I'm utterly fascinated by the Spirit Shaman class - what's cooler than a horde of spirits at your side who make you semi-ethereal, resistant to damage and spells and even allow you to resurrect people every now and then? :D
I had to get the fandom craziness out of my system SOMEHOW. ^^

I have to say I'm insanely proud of this - it's the type of picture I zoom out and look at and say 'Bwuh! I did this?'. 'Cause I honestly have no idea how I managed to keep that level of detail consistent throughout the process.... X_X And as much as I enjoyed every brushstroke - even the furs - it'll be a long, long time before I paint anything as detailed as this again. O.O It may have been enjoyable, but I like my still functional eyes the way they are, thank you very much. O.O

I'm hoping this made up for the months of deadness. ^^ I wish you all fun celebrating the New Year! :D
And now, I shall elegantly scamper off to abduct a textile craftsman who could be ';persuaded' to create an outfit like that. ^^

EDIT: Detail shots: [link]

EDIT2: After some facepalmingly amusing comments I read through my description again and have realised the need to explicitly state this: Ganneyev is a MALE. *smacks head into desk* XD

youre right, the level of detail IS stunning. i dont know how you had the patience for it! the fur and the hair are beautiful! i also love the semi-transperancy of the spirit, very cool!

Wow, that's absolutely awesome *-* And the Detail is... incredible. Just wow!

I'd have liked it a bit larger because of all the incredible detail, but that all right. :)
I like the spirit shaman class too, but personally Gann never made it under my skin like some others did. However, this is a great piece, I find myself liking the spear very much. :D

.....But IS he as totally awesome as Bishop or Sand?? I guess not (actually I don't know at all, but from his looks he sure seems waaay too "bishounen" for my personal tastes....)!

Nice picture, though. I don't know much about this character and I didn't know he was also a sort of shamanic thingie.... I like shamans at last!
