Description This is a little illustration for the soul purpose of trying to create some more dramatically staged art. Most of my compositions are rather static and boring, so I decided to try a slightly more adventurous subject matter and setting. I had a little story in my head about a mild mannered accountant from the twenties traveling back in time to some barbaric age. He's imprisoned for whatever reason and sent to be executed in the gladiator ring. But he has a hand gun and ... ultimately with his knowledge of modern inventions, he becomes a powerful wizard. Nothing all that original. I really just wanted to draw one of those stereotypical stand off pictures only with a skinny guy and pistol vs some barbarians. Anyways, I got it out of my system, moving on to other things now. ;] This is watercolor and copic marker on bristol paper with a little bit of color correction in photoshop.

Well I have not seen a static nor boring painting here yet - though I have not been around much yet

I wouldn't have subscribed to you if I thought so! Don't be so harsh, I don't think I've ever NOT favorited one of your pieces.

I like the idea, and I like how you tilted the image. It's nice and dynamic!

Well, on the bright side, he can kill 6 of them with ease, bad news, that would be all he could kill. Unless he tricks them that he has more shots in his gun and makes them surrender. PG

hehe good point. I supposed he'll have to try and impress them with his "magical" power in his first 6 shots and hope the 7th guy runs away.
