Description Well, it got accepted into Epilogue after some revisions, so I can finally call this done!

This is a painting of my brother as a wizard's apprentice. The wizard has gone to bed for the night, but this little apprentice snuck into the workroom to get a closer look at the wizard's staff. Curiousity can be a good thing in some trades, unfortunately wizardry isn't one of those trades.

And so the dragonhead says: 'What is that abominable light coming from the dark?! It's already past midnight and what's a dragonhead to do to get some rest?!'
Wonderful work, I say, wonderful. >< Reminds me of the Belgariad/Malloreon books which I'm currently reading right now.

I just like the eyes of the statue - registering every single move. Awesome!

Might I compliment you on the staff's design? The story sounds like Disney's "Fantasia", where Mickey mouse borrows that wizzerd's hat and causes all sorts of mischief... I like that last sentence, though. Very forboding and creative.

This is great! Had me getting story ideas as soon as I saw it -- well deserved DD, congratulations!

I especially like the details of costume, his Elizabethan pants and high boots contribute to that sense of period and privilege -- he does look very noble.

Finally! a version of the Sorcerer's Apprentice that DOESN'T include Mickey Mouse! (Not that Mickey Mouse is bad or anything, I just like the change) It's all about the look of wonder on the child's face here. Spectacular!

Somehow I suspect that his adventure isn't going to involve broomsticks carrying buckets of water at any stage... though if he keeps waving that thing around he's going to need the water!

Your brother's very lucky to have a pic of himself in such a wonderful setting! Congrats on the DD!
