Ever since I saw Dune 2 this year I've been captivated by it's cinematic shots and vivid color palettes. I might redraw this on my tablet sometime, I'll be able to improve the colors that way.

(I may or may not polish this up)

So a month ago I went to watch Dune, as well as many of you I guess, and, well I feel the urge of make, at least, a Fan-art of Paul Atreides (Usul Muad'Dib), I dunno if it is exactly a Fan Art, coz I did my own interpretation of the character from Frank Herbert's book, nor from the Lynch Movie and also nor from the Villeneuve movie. I was making a lil bit of research, because Dune has a lot of influence from Arabic, specially Bedouin, Hebrew and Turkish culture, the main leyend about the Arrive of "Muad'dib" is virtually the same as the arrive of "Mahdi" (and even in the book it is also called Mahdi some times), so the word that it is under im my draw means actually "Mahdi" (the one upper means Dune). I even took the time to translate a few pages from the Dune's book in its arabic edition, to find some more names from other characters ( because I'm thinking to make a couple of Dune's Fan-art more) and also to find the Litany against fear, that I believe should be posted here to give it some more flavor: لن أخاف، الخوف قاتل العقل، الخوف هو الموت الأصغر المفضي للفناء النهائي، سأواجه خوفي، سأسمح له بالمرور من حولي ومن خلالي، وحينما ينتهي مروره سأنظر بعيني الداخلية إلى مساره، وحيثما مر لن يبقى شيء، أنا فقط من سيبقى. The whole ink work was made firstly with Procreate in iPad pro, and then cleaned in Photoshop with my Cintiq and also I end giving some quick texture with Corel Painter.
