Description
The Librarian, done for an icon but nice enough to stand on it's own. He's exasperated.tired/annoyed here. It's interesting to try drawing him at different angles, and I feel like I've got the look I want down. Part of a set of pictures of him, done in watercolors because I was trying to get a more Brian Froud-esque look, but I can't seem to just let myself go and be that scribbly.watercolor and microns.

This character is gorgeous. I want to check out your story just from his design.

He's one of several fan characters for a Labyrinth fan comic which... I really should get started on. And Thank you! I've got a couple pictures of this guy around.

Ooh, excellent work... the use of water colours reminds me a bit of a Froud contemporary called Alan Lee.
I first saw his work on the cover of a novel called the Sword In The Stone and it's this painting that you remind me of somewhat (there's a thumbnail here [link] towards the bottom of the page - it also reveals above it that he painted for Gormenghast, which is a favourite trilogy of books for me

I'm familiar with Alan Lee, all the way back from a childhood spent with the 'Faeries' book he and Froud did together. He did a lot of the concept work for the recent LoTR trilogy didn't he? I should know that out of hand but I've been sick and me braims is fuzzy. I'm flattered. It's been a while since I played with watercolors at all, but I used to work in them all the time and I've had some formal training.

I'm not actually sure if he worked on the new trilogy.
