Snippet - The CircleSomewhere in Tangnafedd
Midsummer's Eve, 1259

Upon a windswept hilltop, three women stood in the shadows of four tall standing stones. A fifth monolith lay in the grass, having toppled over so long ago that it had ground itself into the earth. Carvings adorned the stones; interlacing knotwork here, a tall cross there, crumbled with age, and in several places, a circle containing a threefold spiral. Crows circled above, squawking and quarrelling in the dying light of the evening sun.

"The youngest shall speak the blessing," croaked one of the three, an old woman of undeterminable age, her face creased with a hundred lines and traced with bl

(I wonder which of you thought, "THAT'S ARAGORN?!" at first. :giggle: )

This is the loooong-delayed 1,111,111 kiriban for :icondameodessa:, apologies again! I made it a full watercolour painting, hope it was worth the wait. :hug:

It's Samuel Sullivan, played by Robert Knepper, on Heroes. ^^ The technique here is different from my usual watercolouring approach. I did a very light, quick sketch directly on the watercolour pad (which looked NOTHING like Samuel...) and then coloured without thinking too much. Seems like it was a good idea. ;)

Watercolour on cold press paper. A4 size.

one of the best villains in Heroes, if the show is renewed I hope he returns as the show's magneto once more :B

I don't think so - I think they pretty much exhausted his story arc. ;) I think they'll rather go for a fresh villain.

You make a good point, and new villains are always fun!

Its going to be Aragorn, is it? Will he look sufficiently different from Viggo or are you going for a movie theme?

No, never movie. Some characters (like Galadriel or Frodo) look similar to how I envision them in the movies, but the concepts for all the Lord of the Rings characters were firmly in my mind fifteen years before the movie came out. ;) My Aragorn is about as far away from Viggo as you can get.

Oh, Aragorn never even came into my mind until you mentioned him in the comment. Actually, I may dislike some things from the movies, but precisely they came up with an extremely good Aragorn, he quite suits my mental image, so not resembling at all to this picture.
But anyway, I like a lot this watercolour work! It's plenty of volume, and the colours are very warm and nice, not to mention those beautiful mixing effects. Seeing more like those would be great. Maybe the next one is an Aragorn? :)
