Description A painting of Wart from "The Once and Future King" for my brother's birthday. Done in photoshop.

"The Wart walked up to the great sword for the third time. He put out his right hand softly and drew it out as gently as from a scabbard."

It's my favorite part in the book, and it's a really wonderful book.

I disagree. I like the darkness and the way that it highlights the character and the sword.

Thank you! I like it dark too, but I think I over did it a little--it looks grainy on my computer. I might lighten it just a bit to bring back the texture.

maybe a little, but too much and you'll lose the overall effect that the image, as a composition, has and pulls off.

It's a pity that it's such a dark art, but is gorgeus everyway!

I think you're right--it probably is a bit too dark (it's starting to look grainy!), so I might lighten it up a tiny bit. I want to keep the mood dark.

Glad you like it anyway!
