Old pic of Merlin

A VERY old pic of Merlin from the book, "The Lost Years of Merlin"
I absolutely ADORED the whole series.
The Lost Years of Merlin
The Seven Songs of Merlin
The Fires of Merlin
The Mirror of Merlin
The Wings of Merlin

these are like, the best books ever.
they portray the famous wizard, Merlin, when he was a teenager. If you ever get a chance READ THESE BOOKS. They are really good, the last book made me cry.

I plan to draw more of the characters from them. Here's a list of the ones I'm planning to draw
Dinatius
Slayer
Rhia
Branwen
Stangmar

yup....so, yeah, I drew this last May or so.
Its semirealism, I think...
Oh yeah, the hawk's name is Trouble, he saves Merlin from rats or something, i can't remember. O__o

so yeah, this pic looks really messy to me, but I like it anyways.
Oh, and if you need more inspiration to read these books, I'll give you one of the best scenes in the book.
So, this little jester guy couldn't get anyone to laugh, but he got a dragon to laugh in it's sleep. and long before that Merlin said,"If you can make anyone laugh, I'll eat my boot.", so, yes, Merlin had to eat a chunk of his boot. it coulda used more salt. XD
