Frank Herbert's classic 1965 sci-fi novel "Dune" is my
favorite book.
The book is considered to be to Sci-Fi, what Lord of the Rings is to
fantasy. There have been multiple attempts to bring Dune, always with mixed results. The following
figures are my designs of the world of Dune. I only used the literary
descriptions of the characters, costumes and colors for my designs.
 |
Duke Leto Atreides, Head of House Atreides
Description from Novel:
“The
Duke was tall, olive-skinned. His thin face held harsh angles warmed
only by deep gray eyes.”
“There
was woodsmoke in the gray of his eyes, but the face was predatory: thin,
full of sharp angles and planes."

Lady Jessica Atreides, Ducal concubine and
Bene Gesserit Sister
Description from Novel:
“The
face was oval under a cap of hair the color of polished bronze. Her eyes
were set wide, as green and clear as the morning skies of Caladan. The
nose was small, the mouth wide and generous. Her figure was good but
scant: tall and with its curves gone to slimness."

Paul Atreides, Ducal heir
“face
oval like Jessica's, but strong bones . . . hair: the Duke's black-black
but with browline of the maternal grandfather who cannot be named, and
that thin, disdainful nose; shape of directly staring green eyes”

Thufir Hawat, Mentat and Master of Assasins
Description from Novel:
“His
left leg was injured in those years.”
“[his
eyes where] two pools of alertness in a dark and deeply seamed face."
“[his
age] showed in the rheumy shine of the brow and eyes, in the cheeks
racked and burned by exotic weathers, in the rounded curve of the
shoulders and the thin set of his lips with the cranberry-colored stain
of sapho juice."
|

|
 |
Gurney Halleck, troubadour warrior
Description from Novel:
“the
ugly lump of a man, noting the glass-splinter eyes with their gleam of
savage understanding. Halleck's wispy blond hair trailed across barren
spots on his head. His wide mouth was twisted into a pleasant sneer, and
the scar of the inkvine whip slashed across his jawline seemed to move
with a life of its own. His whole air was of casual, shoulder-set
capability."

Dr. Wellington Yueh, Suk Doctor of House
Atreides
Description from Novel:
“stick
figure standing several paces away, took in at a glance the wrinkled
black clothing, the square block of a head with purple lips and drooping
mustache, the diamond tattoo of Imperial Conditioning on his forehead,
the long black hair caught in the Suk School 's silver ring at the left
shoulder”

Duncan
Idaho, Sword Master for House Atreides
Description from Novel:
“[there stood Duncan in] glittering dress uniform, flat face unreadable,
the curling black hair neatly combed.”
