Description
6.5in x 4.5in (print of a) fineliner drawing, overlaid with a watercolour wash.This is a smaller print than the 6in x 9in original drawing, but I wanted to try different toned washes over it.
I used to do alot of fine line work and crosshatching when I was a teenager, so I thought I would experiment with trying it again. Also I have noticed I hardly ever paint males... so this goblin mage is a boy!

It's magnifique. I wonder if I should be disturbed that my apartment looks a lot like that.

I can see a really cool kids book using art like this. Maybe something halloween themed.

Very nice... I particularily like the atmosphere! And also how you bend shapes in order for the picture to look more horror-like.

This is one of the best pictures I've seen on DA. I admire the style of the picture. It very much reminds me of John Blanche and some of the early 80s fantasy illustrators. In a way, this picture brings back my childhood.
Do you, by any chance, know what is the name of this particular art form/style?

Love the way you drew this, the hatching and green/brown colours make it really vintage-y old looking, like in a classic children's book. It reminds me of Rackham.

Thanks - Rackham was definately an influence for me trying to make the lines have a flowing organic feel and the earth tones colouring of the piece! Thank you for commenting
