The Seeker of Truth

Description

Second in the Sword of Truth portrait series, following the Mother Confessor.

I think my biggest problem with Legend of the Seeker (apart from the mountain of things from the source material they missed the point of entirely, of course) was the casting of Richard Cypher. The actor just never struck me as a Richard type, who in the books is consistently described as a fairly big guy, whereas Craig Horner often looks shorter than Bridget Regan. In that regard, in took me a while to get the right mental image for Richard whilst reading, and then it hit me: THOR. Chris Hemsworth is 6'3" and built like a goddamned fortress. He IS Richard. So, there's that problem solved.

EDIT 10/19/11: As is my custom these days, it seems, I made some alterations. Looking at it again weeks later, the shapes and colors in the background just weren't working for me anymore, so I made the tree foliage a bit more detailed and changed the colors to better gel with the other portraits. I like this better (for how long is anyone's guess).
