It's been a while since I've posted anything, so maybe this'll tide you over:The mystical wizard Merlin of myth and legend...

Thanks.
It'd be an untruth to say Disney's version didn't influence this somewhat.
Merlin was always my favorite character in medieval fantasy; other people's favorites are your Arthurs or Lancelots, but I like the old guy that's wiser than everyone and can zap you.

Heh, Merlin and Gandalf seem to be big favourites!

Well, maybe I'm old-fashioned, but a wizard just doesn't seem wizardy without a long white beard and pointy hat.

Yeah, Mum kind of agreed it was a shame Gandalf lost the hat when he become "the White"

Yeah, think if he'd've had a fancy white hat to go with it...

I think they did that in the Bakshi movie-version?

I don't know... I only saw about half of that one.

Ah well, the Peter Jackson movie is definitely better!

I'd say that movie (I know it's technically three, but in my mind it'd just one big, long movie) is one of my favorite movies of all time.

That's true - LotR, PotC and Narnia are definitely right up there among my favourites!

Yep, those are all good ones. I hear-tell there's another "Pirate" movie coming out...

Another one? Blimey...
I thought they'd have quit while they were still (just) ahead...

It actually looks pretty good. Will and Elizabeth aren't in this one, so it's liable to not be too much of a re-hash.

Indeed... and thanks for the favoritization.
By the way, is that Snidely Whiplash in your avatar?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is, indeed--done by the talented
You could draw a very good Snidely, I think!!

Excellent capture! Really diggin' the soft yet effective lighting here, as well as that knowing face of his. Great job. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you, I'm rather pleased with the facial expression myself; "knowing" is a good way to put it. I always imagined Merlin as a wise fellow who always seems to know more about things than he lets on...

The coloring and detail of this blew me away! So nicely done <3
Great to see you uploading stuff here again, your work is always awesome!

You did a great job with Merlin, too bad Dreamworks couldn't couldn't make a good Merlin. But shrek 3 to me was direct to video material. GRAVE DIGGER did a song about him
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I wasn't that fond of Dreamworks' Merlin, but I still liked him, and the rest of the movie as well. Not as good as the first I'll grant you, but still enjoyable.

Awesome! This looks a lot more painterly than your other work, but still very cartoony. I really like the effect.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, I was pretty happy with the way it came out more painting-like and still maintained it's cartooney feel. If you've ever looked at most fantasy art, it's usually, how did you put it; "painterly", and I was going for that sort of style.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Believe it or not, painterly is a real word. It's on Merriam-Webster and everything.

Oh WOW. This is absolutely WONDERFUL. It looks like an oil painting. So wonderfully done. I'm jealous of your abilities.

My, such accolades...
Thank you very much.

Brilliant! I love the use of soft-shading in the image. It really stands out!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. I thought I'd try something different with the whole shading scheme; I'm glad you find it effective.

I remember you doing something like this on iScribble, before this jerk scribbled over it
Excellent work ^_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I drew a picture of him, but it wasn't this. What's more, this is a bajillion and a half point three times better than anything I could pull off in Scribbledy-dibbledy.
Thanks for the laud, by the way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No prob.. though me and another friend of mine would love to draw with you on Scribbledy-Dibbledy err...now you got me saying it.
I-Scribble at sometime =3
keep up the great work though

I've got you saying it!
Mwa-ha-ha-haha!!!
My job here is done.

Speaking of which, are you still doing more "Stump Proffessor Platypus" ? I got a dozen more questions for him.
For example: "What does his eyes look behind those glasses?"
"How long has he known Calamity and co.?"
"Could he be a good teacher for one of my chars?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No promotion. The result is enough reward in itself.
And yes, the Prof. is still accepting questions. I'm just waiting for enough good ones to go another round.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I got a couple already
More importantly, what would you like for Christmas?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'd like a pool full of jello, a barrel of pickles, three-and-a-half slices of cheesecake, and a golf cart with monster truck tires and a roll cage.

Oo() Preferably something under my price range dude? ^^()

Hey, you just asked what I want; you didn't say anything about reason...
