Description
I worked on my comic book till my brain oozed out of my ears today... Finished a comic board in one day... So I decided to fiddle around for myself! and it's like... 4:30 am here...I just could not come up with a good title for this...
So this is Stephen Maturin from the Patrick O'Brian novels (or Master and commander movie, you pick). Again. More, many more might come up sooner or later. I can't get enough of him.
I'm about to finish the first book, and all those of you who said Stephen was even more loveable in the books, well you were absolutely right! I'm so happy to know that I still have over 19 books to read!
So In media res means "in the middle of something", in case you asked!
Hope you'll enjoy!

Wow, this is perfect! It looks like he's yelling at Jack to leave off gunnery practice, he's sewing Mr. Pullings back together. Again.
I love your style (who knew Dr. Maturin would look so good as a cartoon? I would totally watch Master & Commander: The Animated Series, btw)!

This is superb. I highly admire these dynamic, cartoonish style, something I never achieved. You draw with much detail, expression and accuracy. my congratulations!

This is awesome and you have a great skill!!! I am currently reading The Wine-Dark sea and completely devastated to know that I only have five more books left in the series. Up to this book (and I am sure till the very last book) this collection has been an amazeing escape from the day to day hurry of every day life. You help bring Dr. Maturin to life in my minds eye just a little more then he was. Thanks and keep up the great work, I cant wait for the next one.
.... On a side note I hope you do the other characters as well

I love Stephen, last summer I read all 21 books in the Aubrey-Maturin series and I cannot get enough Master and Commander! I inadvertantly became well aquainted with nautical terms just by reading O'Brian, and before I didn't know anything nautical!! {I LOVE STEPHEN awesome art!!}

May I first just say that I think this is fantastic! I love the coloring and the lighting, and especially the wounded man on the table! I also have a question, because I just saw the movie and am highly considering reading the books. Seeing as you have read it, I was wondering if you found all the nautical terminology a hindrance or if you enjoyed the novel regardless (just because I don't know anything about the navy). Anyway, wonderful work!

Oh man I love this series. I recently found a kick ass audiobook for the first ten books and I've been listening to them obsessively.
This is ADORABLE. ilustephan... <3

aren't they great? I read them in french, though! I think all the nautical terms would be quite difficult for me to understand! they already are in french, so...

wow! this is wonderful, and also a question (if I may) the man on the table, who exactly is he? as he reminds me an awful lot of James Dillon. sorry if it's not, thats just what I think..

OH MY GOD! O_O
You've actually drawn doctor Maturin!!
I'm... so amazed! I've tried it a thousand times, ever since I read the first book.
Stephen Maturin is the world's best fictional character. Ever. EVER!
And this picture... Geez, it's so GOOD! You've captured him EXACTLY as I picture him!
You've got more? I've got to look...!

Loves Stephen, love how you drew him. *homnomnom* Favourites

Ohmygoodness YES!
Not only do I adore the charactar, I love this piece- the pose, the background, the color scheme, everything.

I can't remember if I've commented on this or not and I'm too lazy to check, but even if I have, it deserves a word again: It makes me so happy for the smaller fandoms (I guess only the ones that I'm a part of but whatever) when they get a cool/good artist like you to make neato fanart. Good Harry Potter art is always awesome but I feel like there's a lot more talent to draw from because so many people read Harry Potter. It's a lot more rare to see someone doing great stuff for books/movies that aren't as well-known.
And yes, Stephen is super badass in the books. Omg cannot wait for you to read 'Fortune of War', if you haven't gotten to it yet. He's a total pimp.

POMG
do you have ANY IDEA how much i love that movie/character!?!!
AWSOME
π: 0 β©: 1
have you read the books? Maturin is sooooo much more awesome in them. He's like... dark... He kills people, as he's a spy. In the movie I love him, but they cut all his angsty stuff (he's desperately inlove with a woman who only cares for him as a friend and that drives him nuts)
I really am drawn to those type of characters, I guess!

i didnt even know it was a book but i shall deffinately look for it...whats it called?
π: 0 β©: 1
the first one is called master and commander, by Patrick O'Brian

You'll see, it's not an easy read because of all the naval terms, but the relationship between Aubrey and Maturin is just amazing. And Maturin is such a dark character, he's almost scary! but I've always been into dark characters (aka Snape)... Something tells me you might really like him too, he's totally more awesome than in the movie (and I had a huge crush on movie!Maturin, so...)

OMG, I saw this and thought: "Are they going to make "M&C - the animated series" now?! STRIKE!!!" ^___^
You must be a real professional artist, this is so gorgeous. Love the lineart, the coloration, the character design, just everything! It looks like a screencap straight from an animated movie or cartoon. Perfect!!

I finally saw the movie 'Master and Commander' so I can better appreciate your artwork now
OMG I was instantly head-over-heels in love with Maturin (especially when he pulled out his cello, I have a thing for fellow musicians

I am going to be picky and point out that it should be "rei" and not "res." You mixed up the nominative and genitive cases. Anyways, I too have just started the books, and have to agree the Stephen is even better than imagined.

I am always astounded at the intricate detailing you put into your work. And the pose you've got here is just fantastic.

Haha, today must be my day, two awesome pics of Maturin on my watch list! (The other by Kruegan.) Strangely you two have very similar looks for Maturin, which I guess is a testament to how... Mautirin-ish the pic is? It's like, this is the true Maturin!
I'm babbling. I can't help it. Maturin rocks. (And I'm obsessed with his surname.) Awesome, awesome Maturin rendish!

YAY!!!! I LOVE THIS!!! I LOVE MATURIN!!! Wahoo! The books are so good and Maturin gets better as they go along, I'm just finishing the 3rd one and so far they're just so fun to read. So yes, whoo - get a hold of yer self girl! Sorry - I got really excited. um... great job!

Superbe !!! Et le dΓ©cor est magnifique. Juste une petite remarque : tu devrais foncer un peu le dΓ©cor, pour donner plus de profondeur.
C'est qui le pauvre gars qui souffre sur la table ?
