Description This is a sketch where I tried interpreting the Celtic god of the wild, Cernunnos. For a sketch it came out ok but I'd like to try a few more times.
(This interpretation was inspired by other versions such as Susan Boulet's and Kyoht's.)

This has always been one of my favorite depictions of Cernunnos, he looks so serene and mystical. I'd love to do a cosplay of this!

Lovely. I love Susan Boulet's art and many years ago had the privilege of meeting her.
I just recently ordered a print of your Song of the Wild. Can't wait to get it!

Funny thing, I've been doing Cernunnos/Herne drawings for years and I also draw him with a sort of blended deer/human face. I like that a lot better, for some reason, than the Hunky Guy with stag horns that I see too often.

I keep coming back to this image. It gives me goose bumps. This is how I imagine how Cernunnos would look like. This is more beautiful than I could ever describe it. Honest to goodness, tears came to my eyes when I saw this. I absolutely love the detail, and the colours that you have used. Everything is just bloody perfect!
Thank you so much for drawing this. <3

I'm in Palm Desert, California, and my At teacher had us draw one of a few picture she had collected for an art project about a month back for water color. This was one of her options. =] I thought it was fantastic!

Amazing! I wish I could sketch half as good as that. Or colour. I really like how you did it, even if its not with vast variety of colour, the tones really suit it.

Love the face and head in general to bits. ^^ And woo for dramatic wind. xD

Cerrunnos would be honored by this piece (I can't call this a sketch, it's too good!) The feel is pure nature and wild things, and the celtic war braid was a perfect addition . . .

WorldSerpent [2006-04-18 09:50:10 +0000 UTC]

'Sketch' is an understatement. 'Masterpiece' more fits it.

I think it's incredibly good. The minimal colours really suit him. I have some doubts about the cloak (I think it's leaning towards Naitive American myth there a little) but otherwise he looks about right.

I just love your impressions of Cernunnos I don't know exactly what it is, but I just...do The tints look really good, makes it much more interesting than a plain sketch.
Hope you won't mind me favouriting them all!

Oh this is beautiful, you've captured the essence so well - particularly the otherworld, deer-like eyes (and the ears are great). Really beautiful, and inspiring. I can see this hanging in the homes of many pagans!
