...hair. (Couldn't fit the whole title)

From Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke. I'll pick a nice quote sometime.

This is my favorite character though he's kind of tied with Childermass. I wanted to draw the box (the color of heartbreak) in his hands, but illness clobbered me and I had to abandon it. I could go back now that I'm better, but that's just not likely to happen.

So for those who haven't read the book, he's an evil fairy dude who enchanted a lady and forced her to dance every night at his fairy mansion. Hence the silhouette there.

Also I kind of wish this was in color so you could see his bright green coat. Again, not likely to happen.

Sorry for not updating anything real in a while. I've been ill. I'm actually working on some pretty cool paintings right now that I'm excited to get done and show you guys.

Then I'll finally get to work on commissions! Yay!

Thank you! :) I had to redraw his lips a dozen times to get the expression right. Plus I just generally have difficulties with lips.

This book sounds like something I absolutely need to have. Right now.


He is awesome, I love his hair, it is so cool. You did a wonderful job on his face too, that expressions is great and I really love the lips, there is such form to them and they look so perfect, especially the corners (I like the corner of mouths for some reason)His eyes look amazing too. I really love his clothing, it is so cool (ooh, I can just imagine the awesomeness of how it would be coloured, but I love it in black and white as well) Well done.:blackrose:
