Description
Roland Deschain from The Dark Tower series by Stephen King.
Currently spinning the wheel again and wanted to try both my hand and my aim at capturing Roland.
Working on male characters is always a challenge for me as my comfort zone is female, I've spent many long days and a fair few pleasant nights trying to include all the details I feel would be right for Roland.
Weathered skin, wrinkles, a Mid-World tan, the blue bombardier eyes, the sheer unwavering implacability of the man and the weight of the sorrow he carries for everything he's lost.
I hope I've done him justice.
Please have a wonderful day <3

loved the series all those years ago, and there's a section in the very first book i re-read at least once a year where the man in Black is telling Roland about how size is a thing that confounds us humans. you've done wonderfully with this, and yes, i absolutely can 'see' Roland here...
any plans for Susannah afterwards?
Demonika
Thank you so much!
It took me so long to get round to reading The Dark Tower series and then I was furious with myself for not reading it sooner.
The palaver Roland has with the Man in Black in the first book is so good! The enormity of what he shows Roland, the terrifying size of all creation... I love it.
Definitely going to do Susannah. Jake and Eddie as well. There are a load of other characters and specific scenes I want to have a go at as well and I really want to do Oy but I think his fur might result in my very old graphics card melting.

Oy would be awesome!!! just don't turn a Genesis figure into Blaine - man that thing drove me almost as batty as he was!! lol
Jake would be sooo very cool as well. it'd be interesting to me to see your take on him, esp. since i always had a clear picture of him in my mind's eye; unlike Susannah, who, much like herself, kept shape-shifting a bit in my imagination, slipping in and out of some oil-slicked reflection of sorts, in all its multitudes of coalescing colours, should that make any sense to you...
Demonika
Ohh that's a beautiful way of putting it and it makes a lot of sense to me!
I finished The Waste Lands last night so started Wizard and Glass again this morning, Blaine is horrific (in the true sense of horror), I've always loved the concept of rogue AI's / computer sentience and Blaine's acknowledgement of his own corruption, how he treated Patricia and his intent towards the Ka-Tet are chilling. Also make me recall how bloody terrified I was of Thomas the Tank Engine I was as a child. Nothing that smiles like that is safe. The illustrations of Charlie the Choo-Choo and his screaming passenger children in the series are fantastic and very reminiscent of Thomas to me.
I've got a few ideas for Jake and loads for Susannah, she's going to be a really interesting challenge in terms of capturing her fractured personality and how it eventually unifies her selves!
