Artist's Comments

An interpretation of the Lone Power of Diane Duane's Young Wizards series.

Argh, every time I draw this guy he comes out looking ten years too young, yet he's still the only character in YW that I can actually, you know, kind of draw. Oh, and he always winds up having, like, three times as much hair as I originally intend.

This was nevertheless really fun to do. Aside from the stars and the text, all of this was done with the same size and type brush, all in color--no prework or sketching or anything. I like the result, despite the lack of detail. Maybe I'll use this technique more often.

Text is from "The Tyger", by William Blake. I've always connected that poem with this character, for obvious reasons ;p

Very cool. I love the sort of ghosts of sleeves and the stars the most. Nicely done.

My only accomplishment as an artist is I got fanart into Newtype USA's April 2006 issue. But hey, that's works for me.

Too bad I never picked up the series. But you have gorgeous art! I absolutely love it.

Oh gosh, you know, I absolutely love the Lone Power and there is not enough fanart for him. But yours is lovely. It just astonishes me. :heart: I like how his hair looks, like it's almost on fire.

This has to be one of my favorite things you've done! It's such a great idea, and so pretty, (I don't think I should be using 'pretty to describe the LP but...)
I just love everything about this...

Thanks :D

The stars were really fun. I spent, like, half an hour messing with them and making them all rainbow-colored before I figured that, no, the LP does not want to look like a hippie child plzkthnx XD

Dude, there's not enough YW fanart, period. I think about sixty percent of mine has the LP in it somewhere, though XD

Thank you :D

XD You know, now that I think about it, it kind of bears some passing resemblance to that one pic you did way back when... you know, the one with the bird on his wrist? Except, like, reversed.

Thanks!
