more scribbles from dune!

paleontology is way sweet! kynes is the paleontologist on arrakis and he is a badass.

kynes is one of my favorite characters so far. though i got kind of confused and thought he was a fremen, one of the dudes native to the dune planet. i guess he’s just been there a while because he likes doing stuff the tough way. a wizard set me straight. but for this drawing pretend he’s a fremen or at least got their general vibe. i gave him dreads and a tiny pile of sand on his head. it’s sandy in the desert.

don’t let this picture fool you. i stamp tooled the heck out of the space around the drawing, my sketchbooks are clutter central.

    I misread Kyne’s speech bubble as “This Duke a cool one”. I dig your version of Kynes!

    Small nitpick…Liet-Kynes is the planet ecologist, not the paleontologist. A badass any way you slice it!

      o rly?! i believe he may be a man of many hats! because he is the ecologist too for sure, but the paleontologist stuck out in my head because it was a weird word to use…check out this writeup on barns and noble that’s sort of the bookjacket summary:

      And behind it all lies the harsh, desert world of Dune, the only planet in the known worlds to harbor the mysterious and powerful Spice, which everyone wants to control and one man, paleontologist Kynes, seeks to understand in his quest to make Dune flower again.
