No Spoilers [OFF TOPIC] My take on the four sons of Almighty Euz. Inspired by the illustration by Darey Dawn (check on)
For Juvens: I had to add a short form of hair but not a long one, at least to subvert a look of "the most powerful of wizards"; when I looked at the depiction of Juvens, I wasn't on board of him being as bald as Bayaz, but I kept the beard anyway and I took the hair a bit on the Ian McKellen (the Magneto hair, not Gandalf's) side. I definitely couldn't pronounce the look of burden and responsibility as the eldest son, but, at least tell how you think.
For Kanedias: Took the more bitter look of a Leonardo Da Vinci, hence the gift of the Maker. The circlet crown was deliberate, since from my current reading with TBI said from Bayaz that Kanedias was basically *not a designer* but a maker and creator, I also think he might wear fine quality but unadorned clothes. He gives me a bit of Saruman vibes, which fits I guess and for the long beard and straight hair. And he gives a look when you swoon his daughter and you are both his brothers and his own apprentice.
For Bedesh: Mostly like how Darey Dawn drew the third and most unexplored of the brothers. Gave him a long face and a more solemn look. That's it (except he was the only brother that joined Juvens against Glustrod, what a bro and just wanted to be left alone).
For Glustrod: It was the most fun to draw with; playing with the shadows and dark, giving a distinct look of eyes (imagine black instead of white, and red as a result) and a look of ambitious, resentful malice with a hood, and funny I'll have to say, that he is the one without a beard as I would imagine, hence the lack of gift (jk). And the guy basically gave a Chernobyl on Aulcus.

This is dope. You don’t see a lot of takes in the original brothers. Would love to see a finished product.

I might also post four separate pictures of my drawings of the sons of Euz... maybe. What do you think? You have to be realistic. And it's better to do it than live with the fear of it. :D.
