Description
Character design for my portfolio.Once Atticus was a great wizard, recognized throughout the world as the best at magical shields and defensive spells. But during the greatest battle of his life, he started to run out of magic while defending a capital city. Desperately, he sought the only solution he could find, to keep the enemy from entering the city walls: black magic. It was forbidden, he knew that, and he had never tested it before. Yet he saw no other choice...
The result was disastrous. Thousands of good soldiers and innocent people killed in the flaming inferno that replaced his magical shields around the city walls.
Atticus was devastated, and did not care when he was exiled from the kingdom. He left all the people he once was admired by, and settled down in an unpleasant, dangerous swamp. There he continued to study his magic for centuries, far away from the rest of world, and well aware of the fact that his glorious days were now only memories.
Medium: Photoshop CS5.
Date completed: March 13, 2012.
Edit: Fixed the brightness of the image, seeing as it was too dark.

Liker veldig godt lyset her, og hvordan det treffer skjegget fra begge vinkler! OgsΓ₯ hvordan det lyser opp ΓΈret hans.

Wooooow!!! What sad story! Poor Atticus!
I just love him! He looks like a druid, doesn't he?
My book is all about wizards and sorcerers and disastrous magic spells - and the good side of magic too, of course! - so, gosh, it just looked like I was reading the biography of a wizard of my book! - I have about 50 wizards, rsrsrs, some of them are so misterious...
It really touched me, really!
Congrats!!!
If I could I would fave it several times! XD

Wow, thank you! Wizards are some very interesting characters I think, and you can have so many different stories with them. And you have about 50 wizard characters you say? Now that is impressive! I'm very glad you feel so connected to this character of mine (whom does indeed look a bit like a druid ^^). Thank you again!

That's very nice. I feel bad for him, though. Good intentions often go wrong...

Thank you Yes, he never intended to cause any harm, yet he took the chance anyway. Miserable characters are often the most fun ones to draw, though

I guess, because of their expressions.
