Christian


Meet Christian, a pilgrim who journeys to the Celestial Country. 

Wouldst thou be in a dream, and yet not sleep? 
Or wouldst thou in a moment laugh and weep? 
Wouldest thou lose thyself, and catch no harm, 
And find thyself again without a charm? 
Wouldst read thyself, and read thou knowst not what, 
And yet know whether thou art blest or not, 
By reading the same lines? O then come hither, 
And lay my book, thy head, and heart together.

Christian based on the character by John Bunyan

I don't understand how/why when I upload pictures they are somehow automatically dimmed. This is slightly irritating.

New character...


... which came into existence accidentally.

I wanted to draw Wysg originally, and then realised I was in fact drawing someone new.

For the informed, you've probably noticed the (penannular, in fact) brooch which fastens the coat was clearly an Irish-Sea type common throughout Viking-Age Scotland. And although it isn't very clear, the sword was inspired by Viking swords as well. The Viking exhibition at the British Museum was really cool.

Hence, I think I'll name him Rhys or something, which sounds vaguely like Rus.

Tool: Corel Painter plus texture added with Photoshop
Time: more than I should spend. 2.5 hours?
