Description

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. ;)
