I very much like the duality of this. The almost overwhelming warmth of the yellow with the blue of the cloak, and the two different colors of gloves make this seem almost like it's split down the center as well as horizontally.

:-) Vasilis Zikos replies: "a small note here, these are not gloves, one is the hand of flesh and the other his silver mechanical hand..."

this is devastatingly good. Anyway, I'm pretty sure all the compliments are very good for your ego!

:-) Vasilis Zikos replies: "Tell me about it! I don't think I cannot contain it any longer it grows and grows and growsssThank you very much Hillary"

I am a big fan of Michael Moorcock and his works. It is wonderful to see one of his characters come to life in such gorgeous detail and color. I have recently come across your works, and I must say that they are astounding. I can't wait to see more of your art in the future.

Maybe you can do a portrait of my favorite aspect of the Eternal Champion- Elric.

You definitely have a fan =)

This is amazing. That is the way I have always pictured Corum. You should definitely do more Moorcock inspired art. Erekose, Jhary and Moonglum would be Fantastic.

I love this picture. It may not be one of my favorites of your gallery, but it is wonderful none-the-less. His face his breathtaking, along with the entire piece!
