Description

A pencil portrait of my original character, Artemius Ceyx Gautier. He's featured in my now nameless novel and short-story "Artemius the King." I eventually will be posting a very special sneak-peek of my novel on my site, but that's another story.

Yeah. I haven't done a portrait in a looong time, and considering that, I'm pretty proud of how this turned out. First time in a long time I broke in my shading pencils too. Refreshing change from all the inked work I've been doing lately! :XD: Artemius is only seventeen in this portrait, but somehow, he looks older... Although when the novel first begins, he is seventeen...but at the end of the novel (it consists of roughly four books thus far) he is about thirty-two. I've been working on this novel for over three years now. So Art's been with me a while. :) The very character of Cervantes featured in my "Wall" and "Hill" series was BASED off of Artemius. For readers of my FF, Art is recognizeably similair to Cervantes. Art, however, is a little...more naive than Cervantes. (BTW: Artemius's future wife, Hypatia, was also the original basis for Melinda de Leon's characterization).

Okay.

And I PROMISE.

THIS IS THE LAST UPLOAD BEFORE *biffproton and myself's COLLAB. I am working very hard on it, just have a hard time finding...time...to get downstairs and sit at the computer and color it. But it is progressing nicely. :)
