Why is it that I'm such a fan of psychopomps? Very nice.

This is by far my favorite piece from your gallery. The feel of it is awesome and I do love Jonas from the comic. It's haunting, creepy, and even giggling over the coffee break comment didn't spoil that.

I'm sure you've been asked that, so you might want to add it to your website's FAQ 
I hate reading on screens, so are you planning to make on-demand printed books of your Inverloch and Phoenix Requiem comics? It would be great...

I've been meaning to ask you this for a while: To what extent is Jonas based on the Tenth Doctor? I've only recently started watching Doctor Who, but I can already see a lot of parallels (besides the hair
Beautiful image.

Only the hair. The rest is just his english-ness.

Aww, I was wrong. 
When I first started reading TPR in February I wondered who would be cast in the film version. I only remember briefly considering Jude Law for the role of Jonas, only to change my mind the instant I saw a picture of David Tennant.
Pity that he's almost 40 already, but then, Jonas is an old soul -- maybe it'd still work?

Jonas looks so much like David Tennant...sooo cute, and funny. He's funnier when he drunk- bless Robyn. (yes, i am still currently readin the comic- it's AMAZING!)

Cool. I will go on talking about a not-really related topic, so just read this: this drawing is very very cool.
Now the long winded speech:
I know the character, of course. I read your comic.
But also I had a character on an RPG (Mage, if you wish to know such details), that was an old man "made" of smoke... and when hurt, he sort of absorbed or took into his body inciense smoke while meditating. He recovered lost parts of his own mind/soul, and so he remembered who he was; and began to look younger.
He died before becoming a megalomaniac villain. If he had kept going, he would have looked somewhat like this. Always anachronistic in appearance.

Sounds like a very cool character!

Oh..! he was!
A mix between Jason Bourne and Merlin, with a very nasty dark side.
It pained when he had to die, and for a couple of weeks msn/skype nicks from the gaming party were in remembrance to "Professor McDougall". On the other hand, it was good to play the whole story of the character. Having a closure and all.

Beautiful Jonas! And all his ghosties! Beauty! Oh and on a coffee break? Wonderful!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Coffe break. Definetly.
Love how the shades run through his hand smoothly. Nice going!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I always love seeing you draw shades because I always mentally add in their screams in my head. xD
The layout on this is better, but I do think the bright area above his head draws my eye to stare at a blank yellow space a bit. Still, good framework.

WoW Jonas looks great, well he looks sad but your work it great!

<3 Jonas <3
As always, TPR and everything about it is wonderful..... And this pic is equally winful.

Very interesting how you have the shades coming out of his palms. Do you know anything about Reiki and the power of energy through palms? Or is this just a coincidental interpretation?

I do, my grandfather was a Reiki practitioner for a time

Excellent! I'm a practitioner as well

Mr. Faulkner looks a bit jaundiced here. I'd say he might be unwell, but that's probably the point
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yay!
I mean, not "yay" that he's unwell, but... you know. ._.

as i looked at this, i realized that as i was reading The Great Gatsby, i pictured Jay as looking like Jonas...

Yaaaay! It's Jonas! He's an awesome character and I like his hair!

I like the coffee break theory!
Jonas is such an amazing character. It's so rare to find a character with so much depth and detail behind them.
I'm forever grateful to my sister's cosplay buddy for getting me hooked on your comics. XD

The expression is great. Meek and creepy at the same time.

Very interesting, that you have painted him with shades and not spirits. Should I read a lot into it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Let's just say it probably fits end-of-comic-Jonas more than it does start-of-comic-Jonas

I like the placement of the subjects on the canvas. It makes for an interesting composition even though Jonas is centered.

Loving the shades in the background. c:
Nice to see the finished version as wel! The wip on the comic sight was good as well but the finished version is amazing xD

OMG! Phoenix Requiem as a movie?!?! Why did it never occur to me. And it would be awesome, as long as Robert Pattinsen was kept away.
Beautiful picture. I love the colours and would totally pay money for this as a bookmark or poster.

I'm taking Classical Mythology in college right now and I got really excited when I saw the title of this and knew where it came from. xD
I love all the wonderful details of the Shades at the top. Lovely as always.

Hmm. He looks a little ill while he's doing his guide-the-dead thing. Not too surprising, considering what it does to him in your novel, but still seems noteworthy that he's a little green 'round the edges.

the shade in the upper-left-hand corner looks like a zombie version of john lennon C:

Very cool but at the same time...his face...scares the hell out of me. I look at it and I expect to see a dual image. One of him and the other of a ghost or monster trying to break free. Just burning there in his eyes.

In my defense! ...I was looking at it near 4 in the morning...but I just looked again...still scary. Haha. A great picture none the less.

@__@ It's so beautiful! I love his serious expression. One thing, and this might have been intentional, but his ears are very pink.

Really love the watercolor effect on the background and the Shades. It looks lovely! C:

Cravats turn me on.
No seriously. Jonas looks great! I can't wait to see how this whole scenario plays out. You've kept me on the edge of my seat with the current action--I can't wait to find out what happens!! I love your characters. They're brilliant and full of life!
