Description Finally finished this... whew. I realize lots of detail is lost because this is a small size version, but in the light of the recent rampant art thievery here on DA I'm kinda reluctant to post anything larger... Some closeups can be found here: [link] . You can also see WIP here: [link] .

Oil on illustration board, 15x20".

You're a master on details!!!! The clothes are supreme and gorgeus; and the way that everything mixes with the background (also amazing), creates a perfect fith between all the elements. Perfect job!!!

( I've been watching this gallery all day... again. Now, after what I red, what do I do? Do I fav n' run? Naah, It was never my style.... but also, I'm running out of adjectives for Sijeney)

If it were abou tallent, I'd fave it all because all of your works have such a great quality. But of course I have my favorite ones. Also, unlike other galleries, I like to take my time with this one. So, i guess I'll be back some other time.... Thanks for delicious images!

You can fav & run anytime if that's what you want. It'll still give me a warm fuzzy feeling to know you've taken the time to look at my work, and liked it. So, thanks!

I guess I'm more of the "annoying commenter" kind. And you're welcome....... You met, worked and modelled for Boris Vallejo and Bell? I want to die of envy!!!

MJWilliam In reply to zombieater [2008-05-21 22:26:10 +0000 UTC]

I was in the right place at the right time, I guess. Boris loves everything Russian, so that was one of the reasons we really clicked (I'm part Russian). They're very cool people and I feel very lucky to have worked with them.

BTW, thanks for the favs (if I haven't done that already).

Lucky indeed, but you deserve it as well. Perhaps it was meant to be, who knows. I'm very curious, what came out of the modelling? Do you have a link somewhere?
Oh, and you're welcome of course!

Wooooow! Now I'm shocked! I bet the original is spectacular. And I thought I was feeling jealous before. So, who's the model in the second one, you again? Also, I've been checking your web page. Your such a hardworker and a big pro!

Now I have to go and look in the local comick book stores to see if they have something from you. Hope they do.

Yes, the other one is me too. What pics they didn't use they gave to me.

Don't know about the comic stores, but I've got stuff on Amazon. It should be linked in my shoutboard.

Yes, I'd like the book of End of infinity, but that will have to wait a little ( I'll have to make some saving) Also, I'd like a calendar. Yes I know it's a bit stupid buying a calendar at half of the year, but I'd really like it. Do you know if there are any available yet? The price is the same?

MJWilliam In reply to zombieater [2008-05-29 11:59:10 +0000 UTC]

Calendars are available here: [link] . They're for this year for now, but I normally renew them with each new year, so 2009 calendars will probably be available soon if you want to wait for that.

This is my 2nd fav item of yours. The work in her cloak and the wall just blow my mind. She is very pretty but not too pretty that she takes away from the sober mood of this. He hair and the the texture you give her bodice are just Also her pose with sword lets your mind really wander with wonder.

TheGentlemanOfYore In reply to MJWilliam [2007-10-02 03:00:21 +0000 UTC]

good question. I would like to say that it is a very impressive peice of art. I did like the mural to say the least, did you do that to or just superimpose the young woman over it?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MJWilliam In reply to TheGentlemanOfYore [2007-10-02 15:00:47 +0000 UTC]

There really is no meaning here, beyond what the title suggests (thus the rust on the sword). The mixture of Chinese and Japanese designs holds no significance whatsoever. If you look through the rest of my art, I often mix together cultures and time periods. Not as some sort of statement, but merely because it's fun. There's one piece in which a samurai is wearing armor inspired by medieval European designs, and a Celtic tattoo. I don't like adhering to rules that would restrict me. This is why I classify my work as "fantasy".
