i love the beautifully calm expression of the man, and the grace of his hair which is so intricately designed... and the keyhole which is so curiously drawn... fab!

So, SO beautiful! So elegant and peaceful! I'd love to have this hanged up in my wall, I'd really do.
How long do you usually spend on one drawing? They're all so full of amazing details!

bjornik In reply to artemisa-69 [2009-11-23 03:20:16 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Julia! It really depends on the mood and the level of detail. It takes 40-100hours for me to finish a piece.

Narwen-Eressea [2009-11-20 15:57:21 +0000 UTC]

Extremely beautiful!
I love the details, as ~Naiades-song said: the pencil on the moustache, the Roman numbers on the eyebrow.. and is that a cat in the middle of the moustache?
Oh, I fell in love with the little dragon on his hair! And Saturn (my favourite planet!)! And that cute little thing peeking from behind one of the balls on top of his head! What is it?

bjornik In reply to Narwen-Eressea [2009-11-23 03:25:53 +0000 UTC]

Hello Narwen! I was surprised that it looked like a cat but it really isn't. It's just a tape that keeps the mustache in place.hehe That little creature is one of my characters that I did for my Yahoo! projects. You can see them in my gallery.
