SciFi and Fantasy Art Maqaxha´s torment by Sam ´Zephyri´ Hogg

Another piece of gift art for Silvy. I love her characters. This is Maqaxha, also known as Kitsune. Once a prince, he was cast from his lands for poisoning his father, and was caught by slave traders, who sewed his eyes shut and sold him as a cheap love slave. I got caught up in the mental anguish that he must have been feeling, realising all that he knew was now lost to him, that he could never be the king he so desired to be. The sun setting behind him is symbolic of that, as is his hair unravelling. I REALLY can't stress how much you should go and see the originals, they put mine to shame. Done in Painter Classic, from scratch.

Artwork © me, character © S.Silvestris Strand, so steal it and you have both of us to deal with. And you don't want that. Trust me.

Update Feb 2004: Having not been entirely happy with the original, I have redone the picture from scratch, in the same style I did Lapis Lazuli, trying to correct the faults which nagged at me first time round. This version took much longer to do, and the result is much more to my liking, but I still don't think it looks like Maqaxha should. Darn your boy, Silvy, he just won't cooperate....

3 Dec 2003	Arianna Felina	Loading... Oooh... stitched up eyes. Sounds fun. (sarcasm, people, not masochism!!) I like it though. Any story behind the ring, or is it just decoration for his bleeding fingers?
4 Dec 2003	Arianna Felina	Loading... Hi! Me again. Sorry, just ignore the "ring" thing. I was in a bit of a rush, so I didn't read the title or summary, so I didn't realize it was a character of Silvestris' creating. (the exalted one!!) I did notice similarities, however! (please just ignore both of these comments, they're incredibly stupid! T~T) Sam 'Zephyri' Hogg replies: "grin s'okay my dear... I do so love Silvy's characters, they are so intriguing not to mention down right sexy..."
22 Dec 2003	Arianna Felina	Loading... Once more, THE EXHALTED ONE!! worships both Zephy-chan, Silvy-sama, and wonderfully bishi Maqaxha in pic at same time Yay! The hair...it's so...shiny.... eyes grow unnaturally large as staring at loverly shiny hair commences

7 Apr 2006	Anonymous Tamee <Tameelami@yah...com&	Loading... "WHY?!!!"
1 Feb 2008	Maleah Schmitke	Loading... Wow, almost two years since teh last comment? I love Silvestris’ work and I love this picture. The emotion really is captivating. I wish there were more writings. If the story was published I’d run out and buy it right away..., commenting on the picture here...I can’t get over how beautiful and amazing it is. ps: and I think I’ve probably added your DA gallery to my watch list there too...I recognise your work. I guess I have a lot of over lap, heh. Take care.
