Description a haggard king lir.

let me tell you my head canon.

prince lir is doomed to a fate similar to that of haggard's. he will for a time find things to distract him from his losses. mayhap he embraces things and responsibilities king haggard forwent for solitude. then maybe he goes the other way. neither fills the void.

when he, too, becomes old and gray he seeks the memory of his happiness one final time. he goes long and far to find her, and he never does.

mayhap he becomes bitter and resentful in a darker vein that molly did, that if she still exists, she has made no effort to acknowledge his search, his pining, or desperation.

so he returns to the sea

to live a life of solitude

to hear promises and whispers of a red ghost from beneath the sea.

madness takes hold.

and time loops.

That would be so sad if he ended up like that! but it does make sense I like your portrait of him, the blueish grey of his skin color gives off that vibe of bitterness and old age, and the reddish lineart gives his face more of a pop, which I really like. Well done!

He reminds me a lot of the Man in Westworld. When I am a better watercolor-ist, I think I will try him! I rather liked this one in particular specifically because I overexaggerated his face. I wish it carried the expression in the lines of my sketch, though!

Here is the line art I did:
