[ID: soft painted piece of digital art based on the death gate cycle book series. Alfred- tall, pale, balding but for a crown of silver hair, in a dark purple frock coat, stands looking wistfully out of the window of a shadowed stone room, at a view of castle ground, green forest in the distance, and other islands hanging in the blue sky, hand resting on the window aill. /End ID]
Spent a lot of time recently gazing out of my kitchen window thinking about The Character's identity issues and fractured life, so I started sketching it, and it just demanded a painterly treatment. The world out there is yours, but it is not the world you knew, and you are someone new in it, some old, young afraid thing hiding inside something new that is Old... And you live at your feudal customer service job.
