Artist's Comments

Here we have the lovable and terrifying Saetan from the Black Jewels Trilogy. It's been a while since I've done any art for those books, and it has been suggested that I do the three portraits: Saetan, Daemon, and Lucivar.

Well...I've done Saetan. XD I am lazy and/or busy. Yes. Anyway, I used a pic of Ralph Fiennes [link] as a reference. This was done very quickly in a different style than I normally use. I've been working mainly in Black and White to start, just to get the values right, and adding in color later (hence this was an excellent reference! XD). It's something I picked up off of Henning Ludvigson's site: [link] . I haven't quite figured out the coloring yet, but I definitely like this technique.

Character (C) Anne Bishop.

EDIT: Here's a peek at another BJT themed painting I'm working on! [link] It's for the "Fan Art Confession" challenge at pixelbrush.net.

Dude, awesome! Honestly, though, and I don't really know why, but when I read those books...the picture that comes into my head of Saetan is Hugo Weaving... (Elrond in LOTR, Agent Smith in Matrix, V in V for Vindetta) I don't know why....but I guess that's what my mind clicked onto. XDDD That looks awesome, btw!!! ^_^

omgomgOMGomg... I love Uncle Saetan. And I think you captured him utterly. Ralph was a very good choice for a model. :D

...for the love of god, woman... I can't stop starring at him... frackin geeorgeoooous.

I can't even upload my tardmonkey-anime picture of Uncle S being caught reading a romance novel...

Haha, I can see that. Hugo Weaving can be just about anyone.
Thanks!

Thank you. I saw that picture and I was like "...hmm, Saetan?"

XD You should! I wanna see it. I kind of miss doing anime sometimes. >_> I should do some more. Or upload that thing I did for a manga contest a few months back.

92% of the teenage population would die if Abercrombie & Fitch or Hollister said it wasn't cool to breathe anymore. Put this in your signature if you're part of the 8% who would be watching and laughing their butts off.
:icondividedwolf:
really cool!

Manchmal ist mein Kopf so voll mit Leere, dass ich hunderte Bogen Papier vollmalen könnte - aber da ist überall schon nix drauf!

Thank you.

Thanks! I'm slowly spreading the word. I've turned a few people onto those books in the past few years. It would probably help if I was actually willing to loan my books out...no, no, they're too precious.

I'll see if I can find it, and I'll upload it into scraps.
