Some art of Abiatha Swelter, the homicidal head chef of castle Gormenghast, from this BADASS books series by Mervyn Peake that got me into with HIS awesome fanart of the many twisted characters lurking behin devery book page.
My favorite is this guy. thought it would be cool if I drew Swelter, so I did. X3 And in record time! This is what happens when I know JUST what I'mma draw.
But I still have a wicked crush on Flannelcat, the clumsy professor of the series. <3
Go check out 's GREAT stuff! <333 I'm tellin' ya! You like dark, gothic series, you'll like Gormenghast.
Done in copics and ink. Words done by "the GIMP". X3
I LOVE you for this!!! Knew it would rock, and I'm not dissapointed. Instant , girl! It's great the way the arm is partly hidden among the veg, so that it takes a moment to notice it.
Puts mine to shame, for a start - but I think it's just about the only other Swelter fanart I've ever seen apart from mine! The guy needs so much more!
Also gotta send some thanks your way for the number of times my icon appears in your comments. You make me sound far more worth checking out than I really am. Guess I'd better knuckle down and get some more characters done for the flood of new visitors to my page, eh?
**Oh, and it sounds like you've started reading Gormenghast now - have you?**
Oh kick ass! I should have known you knew what I was talking about. <3333333 BAD ASS BOOK. And I KNEW it wasn't from this era, please--people don't write awesome like that anymore. Its a shame Peake is dead.

oh kickass man! <3 Yeah, I'm SUPER proud of it too, I went on a TOTAL bender last night when I drew this up, it only took me three hours to draw, ink and color it. O__o; Can't imagine what it would look like had I spent a week on it or something!
SERIOUSLY THOUGH NO--I LOVE your swelter. I used your art as the MAJOR reference for my art and you should be MORE than proud, cause your skills are BADASS and I could NEVER shade and detail as well as you can with a pencil. I'm SUPER jealous of people who can shade as well as you, my shading ALWAYS still looks like lines no matter what I do, I can never make it dubiously shaded and lined at the same time. O__o
AND P'SHAW, You DO deserve the recognition dude. Theres SO many people who have more recognition and less talent, and while thats all fine and great it does NOTHING for the self-esteem of a wonderfully talented person like you. <3 *emoteALITTLE*
((and yeah, I read as much as could find online and as SOON as I can, I'm hitting ebay and grabbing me a copy of the book. Cause I can't find it in our LOVELY southern bookstore. XD;; ))

LMAO Hey, I only JUST learned that "all blood isn't represented as RED". XD;; If you ever wanna draw blood and don't know how to deepen it heres a hint: dark brown. Black.
It pains me how much I DON'T know about a lot of things. XD;;;;
