This artwork was an old commission I requested, drawn by Kentarokun!
Kauko is one of a few characters in a setting of mine that's been in the works for a few years. Formerly a powerful mage skilled in a variety of techniques, through undisclosed circumstances he had become a giant and started to change his outlook on life. A wanderer by definition (his name means 'far away' in Finnish), he travels aimlessly to search for new sights and new faces.
His past was marked as being a talented magic user who offered his services for money and had a bit of a reputation for chasing after attractive guys. Since becoming a giant he has wandered away from a lot of civilization and seeks out others like him. Although he is a mage, he almost never displays any magical capabilities as a giant, mainly because its power has weakened considerably since his change.
