Udo Kier was my first choice as inspiration for my 2013 cast for the role of a mysterious figure who was to express charisma, threat, and power with a few awe-inspiring glances, subtle movements, and few words. No one could have been better.
Rest in peace.

Carol is a variant of the English Charles, Germanic Carl, and Latin Carolus. It is from the French form Charles of the Proto-Germanic name ᚲᚨᚱᛁᛚᚨᛉ (in runic alphabet) or *karilaz (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was: "free man". The Old English descendant of this word was Ċearl or Ċeorl.

Beautiful film! Reminded me of the art of Núria Tamarit, although very different. "The polar wolf" is a story about trust, abuse of power, friendship, nature and humanity, told with a focus on strong female characters – and a cute doggy. It's wort a read.

I am following this project since it's first original announcement back in 2012. Super hyped for it's upcoming release and can't wait to dive into this issue while anticipating the game. Ordered my copy. 😍

I had the incredible honor of learning from the master Shūichi Kusamori (Grave of the Fireflies, GitS 1&2, Samurai Champloo etc), himself by attending his first workshop in person. He is obsessed with details and has a preference for dark & dirty subjects. I can relate to that. First time gouache:
