Description
Elric's back! (no pun intended)..yay.Its a scene from the book 'The Weird of the White Wolf' (a part of the Elric Saga By Micheal Moorcock) Elric, being the antagonist he is ... did something he's going to despair about for the rest of the saga. Imrryr/ DragonIsle is the island in the distance.
~SPOILER~ Can't resist...
He's looking back at the Millenia old Empire(Melnibone) he helped destroy. And he was the last Emperor of that very Empire. He also slew(word?) the love of his life while he was at it (with the help of a certain eeevil runeblade)... whoops... Not that he wanted to... But hey 'tis fate...
END OF SPOILER
This could have turned out better, But since it was a personal challenge i.e Paint a background, Don't show the face etc, I guess its okay.
Elric.Also inspired by the song the 'Fall of Melnibone' by Dark Moor... *Sniff*

it's the first time i see a weak elric instead of a badass-heroic-prince-of-my-dreams... well done, the atmosphere of loss is quite strong and I like these kinds of evocating pictures.....
and, by the way, Dark Moor are a badass group

Man... that was a powerful moment and I really loved how you made the whole world reflect the termoil within the hero's soul while leaving both his face and the city hidden to let our imagination fill them.
Well done!

Wow, thank you so much! I'm honored to receive such an awesome comment 
I think this was the saddest part of the books 
π: 0 β©: 1
For me it was less sad and more sublime (for lack of better word). But I think we both agree it was one of THE epic moments of modern fantastic literature. I imagined it very differently, with Eric sniggering cynically, hiding his inner torment. But I like your interpretation as well, if not more.

Oh I agree, it was sublime as well and thus truly epic. And I'm liking your interpretation of the scene better now, the cynical sniggering is a very Elric thing to do in the face of despair

Have you heard Veteran of a Thousend Psychic Wars, by Blue Γyster Cult, and written by Moorcock? It remembers me a lot of Elric.

Hope it mets with your approval

Superb picture Merriya - very atmospheric and reminiscent of Moorcock's story (I'm a Elric fan from way back).
In fact, it's got me inspired. May I use this for a deviation?
