Description
Full View ...not doing so is out of the question~from The Cradle of Whispers
Royalty, you know, has such history
more viscous than molten rock, as searing
against your skin it runs
a thousand pairs of eyes, recording
your whimpers gilted on the page
ossify, as such, your pose.
Royalty, suppose, his proclivities
narrate the weight of a hundred years
of sediment: honor, pomp, extravagance
and binds of blood that surface, steer
him thus as you deign to feel
victim to his feverish ways.
Yet you are closer to the source
a purer strain there flows
within your veins, poisons compose
your power plays, your wayward course
his tendencies diluted rose;
unadulterated yours.
Black ink on 10x16 illustration board. Color in PS.
The inking took some time (around two weeks, non-continuous of course)
...but it's a vacation piece so I had some time.
It was a long wait (but well worth it) I love this one. This one I made for me.
Full cast (and some characters you might not know)... Lots of different scenes from The Cradle of Whispers

It reminds me slightly of the Mad Duke in "The Privilege of the Sword" by Ellen Kushner.
Very nice!

I really like this. I dont know if I would be able to concentrate on a piece long enough to draw all the little frames and then the pictures inside them and keep that kind of quality. especially the cloth drapped over the couch thing, thats awesome!

thank you.
You could think of it as many different small pieces. ^__^;;
It's easier than one big piece.

Lovely piece, so incredibly detailed that every view contains something that the viewer has not noticed before. It is definitely a display of a large amount of patience as well.

It's not worth the time if its not worth a second look, I guess, and I'm glad its worth both for most viewers.

since you've commented on the CofW journal, I guess you know more or less about the gorgeous males. X3

This is absolutely outstanding. Anyone who doesn't full view this doesn't know what they're missing. Really stunning detail and so beautifully drawn.... Really, one of the most inspiring pieces I've seen on DA for a long time.
