Artist's Comments

When the Wizard is Away, the Apprentices Will Play."

This an Magical "OOPS!" Commission for Mr. Mark Severson. It's done in a combination of colored pencils, watercolors and ink. It's a bit larger than I usually work with, my usual being 10 x 14. I actually started it larger -- around 11 x 16 -- but it was a evil drawing. It started to grow beyond the boundries when I wasn't paying attention. So now it's a bit larger than 12.5 x 18. Bad picture! Bad! But I suppose it's my own fault for being such a lenient artist. I should have smacked it with a rolled up newspaper the minute it began to act up.

And as I usually do, there is a "Come Watch Me Try To Figure Out How To Do This!" page.

Hope you're all having a wonderful day!
Teri

xD That's priceless. Just priceless. (And I love that book~!) What a wonderful situation... oh! And that skull is great too. :D

Great work as always, I love the cat and the mouse with the butterfly wings :)

Light and Dark are both extremes, only from the shadows can we see both sides.

Oh great. Now I have that music from "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" playing in my head.
;)

Fantastic artwork, as always. Love the skull with the eyeballs... if someone can find a lower mandible for it, I'll bet it has a lot to say.

You mentioned that when ya saw the sketch -- which is why the skull now has those eyeballs! Many thanks for the inspiration -- it needed that.

I think it should be named "Yorick."

A Comment From Mark Severson on the Artwork!

"It has arrived! Big! I'm quiet pleased with it. Lots of detail to peruse. Like the salute to Disney's Sorcerers' Apprentice with the broom and bucket. Dragon boy has a look I recognize, seen it in the mirror (sanses horn and ears, my hair on the other hand, while not green has looked like that on occasion) The skull eyeing one makes me think of Dresden and his skull pal, that look just gives me the feel of his personality. Your pony-tailed apprentice reminds me of a character from a Mercedes Lackey book. That look of concentration as she's trying to figure out just what didn't quite go right. Nothings wrong, it's just not quite right. The wizards red eyes give a feeling of anger while his body and facial expression strike me as shocked an perhaps a little resigned, like he's seen this before. I'm not forgetting the cat and the mothmouse. I like both of their expressions, to me the cat looks interested in the mouse, not as a meal more as a curiosity. As for the mouse, he's just having a grand old time checking out his new wings, bit of a stunned look on its face as if it hasn't quite come to grips with its new appendages.

All and all a most pleasing bit of work."
