HAPPY YULETART, Leyna55!

Title: Blood of Kings
Gift for: [livejournal.com profile] leyna55
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] gardendoor
Rating:: G
Fandom: Highlander
Characters: Methos
Artist notes: As soon as I saw "Methos" and "Mucha," I had to take this prompt. Not sure I quite got the Mucha style, but I think this is a nice rendition of the old man. And, as a bonus, before I do any large work, I do a couple of quick sketches first, one of which seemed good enough to share. Enjoy!

*Wheee!* Thank you very much! I'm very impressed with your ability to catch Methos' likeness in this style. Both versions are so clearly him - and very well done. The colour scheme is great, and the background is very suitable for the Old Man. Very cool title, too, Nicely ambiguous *g*.

Thank you for the bonus pencil sketch. I love seeing how artists work and the sword in his hand adds an extra (Highlander) dimension to his alertness. I love his expressions in both - like he has just sensed another immortal.

Thank you so much! I wanted to give him a really quiet, timeless feel, because there's so much going on under the surface of the man. I'm so glad you liked your present; it was a real treat to work on.
