The Brucolac


I'm trying out something a little different in terms of technique. I found it in a book from James Gurney (which I really need to buy) where he goes over his painting and drawing techniques. That, and I'm really enjoying using my new brush pen.
I've been reading The Scar from China Mieville for the past little while. I loved Perdido Street Station, and I really love this one. This man had a masterful imagination at work. I just read about the city/state of High Cromlech, and I was fascinated! In tribute of that, I drew one of the books more interesting characters; The Brucolac, vampiric leader of the Dry Falls riding of the pirate city of Armada. There's something really deeply interesting about this character, and I'm eager to see what further role he plays in the book. I may do a larger series of drawings from the book. Mieville's works is very inspiring.
