Thank you and good night!

Freyndyal - wip

Another one for he 29 faces. Very tired today, so just a rough wip of face number 18. Decided on a bit of elf therapy with Freyndyal - based as always on the lovely Colin Morgan. And now it's bed time :-)

Deklan progress video now on Vimeo

I made a little progress stills video of my painting of Deklan. You can watch it on my Vimeo channel :-)

Hot and bothered

Deklan

I decided to revisit Deklan as I continue working my way through the 29 faces.
He's from a fantasy sci-fi story I started a looong time ago. I feel I should add here that I write purely for therapeutic reasons... should I ever actually finish one of my stories it would be by complete accident ;-)
Deklan is a hyperspace scout and a devoted older brother - yes... I have a thing about older brothers - and through a random combination of incidents, involving a Star Wars 'making-of' clip and the Sting song 'If I ever lose my Faith', he ended up looking like the charming and talented Marc Warren.
As the song goes - 'I could be lost inside their lies without a trace, but every time I close my eyes, I see your face.'
Well, that was the face :-)

Beautiful Villain

Kenji

September may be over and my neck may still be aching but I shall keep going until I have finished the 29 faces. More than half way now with face number 15.
When Hiroyuki Sanada played the role of badass villain Kenji in Rush Hour 3 he portrayed him as such a sympathetically tragic character that I was sitting at the final showdown shouting at the screen 'Why don't you throw Chris Tucker off the Eiffel Tower and let Kenji live? How about that, ey?'
Do I love him, my oh my. River deep, mountain high ;-)

Pain in the neck

Twang

An ode to the horrible pain that has accompanied me for over a week now and frozen up neck and shoulder. Face number 14.
