Artist's Comments

This is my tribute to Rodney Matthews who has long been one of my favourite fantasy artists. I've always really liked this concept but wanted to do my own version. The original was done in inks with I guess an airbrush to some extent. This was done by hand with acrylics with changes where I wanted - it's not a direct copy as what's the point? ;)

The image is approx 14" x 14" and I have no idea how long it took - too long probably. It's a hard one to photograph so I think I'll look into getting it scanned. You can get the idea from this though :)

Alan, you have surpassed yourself with this print. The detail in every area is superb and the texture in the wood is excellent. Really well done. :clap:

When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls!

Awsome tribute....you must be very patient to get all that detail..... I used to have this poster up at work a few years ago.

Very well done, Alan. Even the fireplace seems entranced! :)

It seems that perfection is reached not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.
