Artist's Comments

This is my entry for ^cosmosue's contest [link] . It's of Elric of Melniboné, a character created by Michael Moorcock. For those of you who don't know the story, here is a very brief synopsis:

Elric is an albino "anti-hero" in a series of stories by Michael Moorcock. He's a Sorcerer but he's physically weak due to inbreeding of the Melnibonéan royalty. His strength is sustained by a magic black sword that eats people's souls and transfers their energy to him. He hates the sword but needs it to complete various "quests".

For anyone who wants to know more, I ran across this great website:

I ended up doing a lot of hand painting on this one. I only had three stock images that I used - the figure, the sword and the ship. The ship had the least modification. ;)

Thanks! And thanks again for the early review! :)

Well, I would give you a hint, but that wouldn't be fair. ;)

Always look on the bright side... there's more light there and it's easier to find stuff.
:iconanoya:
That indeed wouldn't be fair, so no need to ;)
I'll just wait till the mystery will be errr.. resolved is the right word, right?

Welcome! :hug:

"resolved" works, but I think you were looking for "solved". That one is most often used when talking about a mystery. :)

:wow: This is amazing work. The way you were able to combine the pictures and make them look as one is inspiring.

I am not sure of the exact language, but I looks like it came from early Phoenician, or a language soon after like maybe greek? lol, I don't know. ;P

To change, first, you must realize that something needs to be changed. --

Oh, I just added two letters to the word. 'Solved' is indeed a better word :giggle:
