SciFi and Fantasy Art Marquis Arturo Mercat : The Challenge by Rachel S. Young

Month/year:- Feb/March 2004, Comments:- Another of Sajhiri's characters I drew for her, Marquis Arturo Mercat, this time an attempt by me to do an illustration from a story she's writing!

It's actually a picture I'm quite proud of, even though I can see the flaws in it. I felt it was a fairly ambitious piece for me, I really stuggle with illustrations/scenes ^_^ Look! My first castle, yay! Never tried to do one of those before! However, even though I love castles, I found it really hard to draw. I'm not good with buildings of any kind really...I love celtic knots too, although they are a pain to draw. I think my love of Larry Elmore's art show in the way I draw clouds^^;Worst thing about this picture in my mind? The serving boy! Does he look creepy or what! lol!

23 May 2004	George R Vieira IV	Loading... I agree the black clothes turned out very well, thats hard to do in black and white. the serving boy is pretty creepy, i think that his cheek line really adds to it, maybe if it wasnt so bold.
23 May 2004	Holly	Loading... Ok, this is amazingly spiffy rad, but I couldn't help but crack up when I saw it because he reminds me so much of the evil dude in Robin Hood: Men In Tights. (the one dude always in black, i think his name is john)
24 May 2004	Catseye, Reiki Master	Loading... I think the kid looks like he hates & fears the Marquis for whatever reaason.
6 Jun 2004	Matt Lucas	Loading... This is EXCLLENT!!! The detail and the shading. I love it! My daughter says it kinda looks like me... but I've NEVER stood like that before
22 Oct 2004	Sara Matsdotter Östh	Loading... Why haven't I been to this gallery before? I should really look out more for my Elfwoodian neighbours. This is really, really good. Clear, but not dull. I love it, both the pose and the expression!
23 Nov 2005	Baysword	Loading... Found this after checking out you new mod choice. I just have a thing for black and whites. This just need a companion piece with a lady in a square necked renaissance dress.
18 Feb 2006	Sprite	Loading... Wow! Just incredible. I think the serving boy reminds me of Viola in Shakespeare's 12th Night... I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was a she who was madly in love with him. Fantastic.
2 Mar 2006	Kathleen	Loading... Dude, I'd marry him in a heartbeat. ...although his serving boy has come to eat my soul. Hmm. Soul, hot guy, soul, hot guy...decisions, decisions.
11 Jul 2006	Natalie Adams	Loading... Oooooh, hello there! flutters eyelashes
4 May 2007	David Michael	Loading... As to the comment above who said he looks kinda like the villain from Robin Hood: Men in Tights...that would be Mervin, the Sherriff of Rottingham. Haha, this guy is a TAD more sophisticated than that fellow, and good thing! I love his posture and facial expression - arrogant and very confident, but you've got the feeling he can back it up with some wicked swordplay.
