    One of three illustrations produced for the book Dark Arts by Bob Hobbs, released by David and Charles Publishing (U.K.). They wanted a depiction of a type of castle that a mage, or wizard would live in.

    Lots of fun working with the textures and atmospheric areas, being pretty much a straight brush, quill and ink drawing of one of my favorite subjects.

Really great work on the walls in particular, but the whole piece has a wonderful brooding atmosphere. :)
:iconzigguratartwork:
It reminds me the style of Gustave Doré. Great work. :D

I flirt with fine art. She tells me that she's not that kind of girl, and I tell her that's because she needs one more drink.

Opinions are not reflex actions.

I used to sometimes look at your work, and think that, although I deeply admired the detail (and your bloody, single-minded patience) greatly, that sometimes I did not agree with the useage of line and line weight in your work.

My hubris not withstanding, old freind, I no longer disagree.

Strong work, Bob.

As usual.

Glad to say that "keeping up with the joneses" no longer means it's time to go see my dealer...
