Artist's Comments

Edit in 2009: there were some annoying little details I wanted to correct, like his hair, his eyes, his toes... It's still far from perfect, but I like it better. :) And it's a bigger resolution picture now than the original was!

Our favourite djinni in his favourite form :) Took me almost two weeks... The background is partly referenced from a history book illustration.
For the bushes I used the Snipy's Gunstract brushes by ~SnipySnob

Beautiful; I just love all the colors and how they are repeated throughout. :) Nice lofty expression, too! His legs seem a little long, but it's not really noticeable. You've created a place I wish I could visit!

I like dark, brooding heroes. I just wouldn't want to live with one.

That is really, really cool. The background is amazing. I love all the detail that went into the plants and such. All the shadows are fantastic. That's truly awesome, great job.
