Description I hate to apologize again for not uploading any of my art that I have done these past months -- yes, I know it's a persistent problem, and I'll try working on that.

Anyways, here's a character sketch (one which doesn't have any legs) of Ged (pronounced "Gead" and not "Jed") of the book series called Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin, who, if you haven't heard of her, is a magnificent author and grossly underrated. My plan is to draw about twenty or so illustrations of Earthsea, then mail the illustrations to Le Guin and see what she thinks.

Here's a link to a clearer of image of Ged: [link]

Thank you, my friends!

This. is. amazing. I loved how you incorporated Archipelago dress in Ged's robes--what I usually see is the Generic Wizard Robes on him. Β People forget that Ged is a man of color

One of my favourite book characters. Indeed LeGuin's work is underrated.
Beautiful picture, your inking is so delicate!

I'm so sorry for the late reply!

Thank you so much for the kind comment! It made my day!

Haha! I love Le Guin, too! Who's your favorite Earthsea character?

You're very welcome!
I won't be original here if I say that my favourite character is Ged. I must have something for mages.

Haha! No worries! Ged is an awesome character!

I think my favorite character is Irian, because I love strong female protagonists --- though I love Ogion a lot, too.

Also, I'm working on two new Earthsea piece, so please keep your eyes peeled!

I'm looking forward to seeing it, good luck with your work

Haha! Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy my new work!

By the way, I love, love your pen and ink artwork -- they're fantastic! What kind of pens do you use? Traditional technical pens?

I use dip pens (or nib pens - not sure how to call them in English). Like these: [link]
