SciFi and Fantasy Art: El Dorado

He didn't quite make it. Taunted by the vision of the famed El Dorado, the man wandered through the desert and eventually collapsed in the sand. Note the golden rocks and the blood red sky. As is true of all my Poe illustrations, this was drawn in Prismacolors.

14 May 2000	Laura Ellen Rappleye	Loading... Yet another good one. It may sound morbid, but I really the skeleton. It's just drawn really cool!! I love the rich colors. But this is one I haven't read yet. I'm assuming it's Poe. You do so well with these. Good job.
5 Jul 2000	Patrick L. Teague	Loading... Guess he missed the Road to El Dorado & took the Road Less Traveled By... I love the red sky & gold sun... The desert looks good as well. The skeleton looks real as well, I like the remnants of clothing as an added detail.
24 Aug 2000	David W. McEntee	Loading... Poe and art works. Always a great combination.
28 Jan 2001	The masked avenger	Loading... you are the god of art please my high master bless me and i shall be ever grateful you kick ass and so does poe (rides away naked on a horse named tea biscuit)
7 Feb 2001	Laura Freeman	Loading... I love this. It's so creepy (as are all your other Poe piccies...). I think it might've been cool to see sortof a mirage of sorts of El Dorado in the horizon, like he just missed it....but I can't think of how to do that and make it obviously a mirage. Anyway, it's just great how it is.
19 Feb 2001	Scott E. 'Sven' Johnson	Loading... Ooh! I LIKE the all-red sky! The distorted, heat-refracted sun looks pretty cool, too.
27 Feb 2001	Amelia Stoner	Loading... ....poor guy....O_o.....really great though ^^;;;
8 Feb 2002	Kelly johnson	Loading... i think the pictures are very realistic and they are like the pictures i got in my head whist reading the book The Tell Tale Heart.Even though Edgar Allan Poe writes short stories he manages to get every detail in the story and in his pictures it is the same.
24 Jul 2002	Anne 'Jianna' D'Mura	Loading... "over the mountains of the moon, down the valley of the shadow, ride boldy ride, the shade replied, if you seek for El Dorado!" Wheeeeeeeee i was in an edgar allen poe play last semester, so i've got poe on the brain. ^^;;;
16 Apr 2006	Kapitan	Loading... That´s really cool. It´s beatiful, the bloodred sky and the desert, what a morbid harmony (-:
