Description Storybook art for my newest brainchild:

The Hanged Man


What if, what if what if....

A conceited judge took a tumble down a cathedral? What if, what if, what if.....this angry man got caught on the way down?

What if there was an interception? What if by taking away this man's life he would get an opportunity for a new one?


-- It was heart-breaking to see this once proud man lying on baba Sofia's bed. Broken. Still. Paler than death.--


I used my trusty watercolours and ballpoint combo for this illustration. I feel like I'm getting the hang of them!

Please, raise your hands if you think this man deserves a second chance! I mean, look at him!!

ASDFGHJKL....I love all your work, but this has to be my favourite from you!
I don't know how you do it, but you capture all the characters perfectly, from their anatomy to their personalities. Can't wait to read the story

THANK YOU! That just totally made my day. * whoopwhoopwhoop*

I think about these characters so damn much...but I have to be honest and say that this is the first time a scene popped out exactly as I had visualized in my head! Go muse!

*covers face* poor Frollo.... such a tortured soul.

Well, it's mainly a torture of his own making. I aim to dissect him ( or rather, have the characters pick up the pieces) and slowly build a new and better man.

I look forward to delving in the man's mind. He's utterly fascinating in his severity.

I suppose it's working on the basics of throwing his obsession and strong emotions next to his austere and well-disciplined side. He is truly intriguing.

I love your idea.

I did this wildly fascinating tarot reading/research for him, and it's so freaking appropriate I nearly wet myself. This little story is going to be soooo much fun to write!


Aaahhh, why is he so fascinating!??

WildRedRose14 In reply to Howlingmojo [2011-11-18 23:33:52 +0000 UTC]

sounds awesome. I look forward to it!

Because of the way he struggles with his own emotions? with the world around him? with everything? because he's a sexy beast?

Exactly! Frollo's inner trappings are scary, but fun. Ack, I have to go to bed, but I want to wriiiiiite!

Oh dear poor him!
I love that Esmeralda seems to be so shocked and that you can see Cloupin. The background is lovely. So are the details.
I hope he is going to be well again! D:
