Description
I never had played Legacy of Kain games but I saw all cutscenes and read through all plots. And I like it very-very much.
All characters in those games are wonderful and Elder God's voice will be greatly missed if any further games will be released. Kain is a central character of the story and I tried to make a portrait of him.
Very hard to catch his particular expressions but I think I did it in this case. Obviously, Kain doesn't like to be in front of camera too much :P
Because I still don't know how to make the appropriate texture, I decided that this portrait belongs somewhere between Blood Omen 2 and Soul Reaver 1 in timeline, when Kain was going through first stage of change, so his skin is still pale and smooth instead of veined green one.
Thank you all for viewing and comments.
Technical Notes:
Mix of standard Michael 3 morphs, Ghost of Macbeth morphs and about-four-hours-in-ZBrush3.1-and-still-going morph, Fionuala scarf for A3 by Frances (refitted and morphed by me), Cyclorama Portrait Paper Backdrops, Studio Light Pro by Dreamlight,
Skin is edited in Photoshop a bit.

I am absolutely lost for words. This is absolutely fantastic, especially considering the amount of work that went into it. I agree with the probable age of the character too, and never really thought about him in his in-between stage, but this fits perfectly. Wonderful! :D

EXCELLENT Kain! I can just hear his voice saying the title :-D As far as the timelines go I, like the fact you mixed the two together as it's made an excellent outcome. Wonderful work!
