Advanced Character Design in 2013 at Gnomon.

Kalden is a character from my original series Destiny of the Marked.

He's a master of magical arts, a little crazy, secretive and a bookworm.

i decided to go asymmetrical to give him a disruptive look and the side cape making him feel like he's hiding something - a limp leg - among other things.

He's dressed in regal coloring (purple hues) because he is also very proper and always in control of what he says and in what emotions he shows.
