Description "...then will you still call me superman?"


"I took a walk around the world
to ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
I watched the world float
to the dark side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do..."


Kael , the former High Priest of God. Events several hundred years before left him with an incurable, painful scar on his chest and even deeper scars on his mind. Now, he roams the galaxy hunting the one responsible, always seeming to get caught up in any war or battle that he passes by, and with each one, his mind seems to fray just a little bit more.



Random bit of trivia: the lines for this were drawn in May '10. I started coloring it last fall. Do I get the slow award for the year?? You know, cause it took all year? (with that said, most of that time was spent not actually working on this picture, but still)

version sans bg and including his feet here

Lyrics from Kryptonite, by 3 Doors Down. (Why does Kael always seem to be the subject of any of pictures inspired by music ?)

Kael, his story, and this artwork are all © me, ~Light-Tracer so please don't claim, alter or use without permission or crediting me as the artist, thanks!

First, the color scheme is fabulous. The red sand and the grey blue sky gives it a tranquil but restless feel. His pose and expression make him seem dangerous but timid at the same time, like he's afraid of the power he has. I love the cuts and the outfit make him even more ba. Excellent work, I hope there is more soon.

Thanks for the fav! I love your interpretation. Not exactly what I was going for, but it fits. I definitely was going for badass though, cause he is, if a bit of a tragic one. He's so controlled by that cold, desperate anger in this part of his story that it always makes me a little sad to see him like this... You know, even though I'm the one who drew it >_>

I totally get you. It's hard to torture good characters sometimes; even if it does help the story or develop the character.

Oh, by the way, thank you.
This pic pulled me out of my writing slump. [link] .
take a look when you get the chance. I'd love to see what you think of it.

Thanks I seem to do it a lot anyway.

And that's an awesome poem you wrote! It reminds me so much of Kael's struggle with himself, and it's so tense and yet it feels like it's roiling with barely controlled energy at the same time- just like him. It's great!

The detail is astounding, the little things stand out in this one like the belt and gun detail as well as the sheath. You colors and shading are also top notch. His body is proportioned wonderfully everything looks great! I'd have to say this is my Fave of Kale you have done to date. (I love the pants! Need real ones.) However I have to decline you of the slow award of the year. I myself beat you with that one drawing of Felicia I showed ya a while back. I was still coloring that thing back when I was working at wal-mart and that was about six to eight months before I met my Ex, put it at around umm... seven years in the making and still being finished lol. Ahh... I really need to get back to the paper and pencil... But in any case your PS skills are improving with every piece you do, I love the back ground in this one. Sand looks real. Yup. Ya need to give me some pointers someday heh. I'd love to mix my hand coloring with some photo shopping. ah well have wasted enough of your time with my wall of text. See you around.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. It's my favorite of him so far too I fully support having the pants in real life, though I'm not sure how comfortable they'd be... And fine, you can have the slow award. But seriously, wouldn't that mean you'd won it the last 7 years in a row?

Someday I will give you pointers! I still need to make a tutorial D: Those things are just so much work...

And no, no time wasted! I like reading walls of text. Provided it's not legalese or something that is
