SciFi and Fantasy Art: Hall of the Mountain King

This picture is inspired but a classical song with the same name as this painting, this is what I pictured around the middle of the song...the viewer is approaching the king who leans forward slightly to see the trespasser in his hall...

This picture is an inspiration to my own work. It shows how an artist can be assisted by clacical music.

:-) Daniel A. White replies: "I find classical music helps my work out a lot."

apocalyptica plays a song called Hall of the Mountain King, its really good they play it in 4 cellos.

:-) Daniel A. White replies: "I was listening to the orchestral version, but I might check apocolyptica out."

Ahh, i remember playing this song as a solo as a freshman. Quite a passionate piece of music, and quite a passionate drawing. I like the look that the king has in his eyes, and the way that the wizard is standing behind him; like an advisor. A wonderful song, and a wonderful piece of work.

:-) Daniel A. White replies: "Thankyou. I played the song a while ago too...I was a trumpet player once."

I like this... lots of detail... it reminds me of King Theoden's hall with Gandalf beside him, but that's just odd odd me.

:-) Daniel A. White replies: "Not so odd, I can see what you're saying."

I have to agree on the Theoden and Gandalf bit. I thought, "Wow! He did Theoden and Gandalf!" then i read the title.

:-) Daniel A. White replies: "Thats the reason I don't much like titles. I like people to take what they want from a picture. Titles are limiting."

Love the art work I agree the first thing i thought was theoden king under the mountain and Mithrandir(gandalf). Wish it was a NYSMA solo

:-) Daniel A. White replies: "nysma? I don't know what that stands for."
