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!
Pretty nice characer. I love you rstyle and the way you shaded the whole piece. Great work, I especially like his eyes and lips

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