I'm just confused by the scary shoulders. Looks a bit like he has invisible arms upraised, lol.

Goddamn that is bloody amazing! Your bro is a kick-ass artist. The only gripe I have is that he is probably shorter than that, but that's just me being a pedantic bear.

this is pure awesome. incredible work!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Your brother is a brilliant artist KM. Those hounds look MEAN! I think to be really heavy on accuracy I have a few things you can tell
him to look at:

1.The hounds I feel were always man height at the shoulder, in other words HUGE. he can consider tweaking the sizes a little to make it feel
more accurate
2.Shadow throne is said to be short and dalhonese but I think if he uses grey instead of tan about the face it would work just as well. Maybe even with an
old mans beard?
3.also he could consider a cane. not that I think its needed here. Its Freaken cool without any changes IMO but thats a character thing that he may or may
not want to include in this or any future artwork

apart from that I gotta say this is one of the best shadowthrones I've seen yet!
much respect to your brother.

You are witnessing Shadowthrones Super Sayian form. The hounds ARE his arms. Be afraid, be very afraid.

And that's the problem isn't it?

Shadowthrone is a hunched over, unassuming figure, shrouded in shadows, supporting himself with a cane. He's probably not supposed to look taller than 5 feet.

The Hounds are the size of big mules, they run through masonry like its made out of papermache. They can hold a man in their jaws and tear him to pieces. I think their shoulder height reaches human shoulder height.

Lol Shadowthrone looks like the complete evil villain he is! But that Hound on the right looks like Scooby Doo...

Shadowthrone really is not That short, Cotillion describes him as only slight shorter then himself, bet he "likes" to enhance it for visual appearance.
Think this was in HoC after him and apsalar left her fathers home.

I think that's pretty damn good, myself. The Hounds look exactly as I imagined them; although Shadowthrone looks too muscular, I always imagined him to be almost whispy thin, like a shadow itself.

I agree wholly with Apt here, though it's still really nice

To me this picture makes me think more of Dancer than Kellanved... but for someone who hasn't read the books that is really a great effort.
I hope you can persuade your brother to have a go at some other characters
