Artist's Comments

His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I. Self-Proclaimed Emperor of These United States, and Protector of Mexico.

If you don't know who this guy is, you should check out this wiki page. He's seriously one of my new heroes. [link]

This was meant to be just a quick sketch but the project got out of hand a bit. It's made of painted watercolor paper pasted together.

Wow, an awful lot like Emperor Norton. I like the simple shading style and the blue eyes you gave him. The blue eyes really stand out :)
Great job!

That's hilarious! Not sure if you intended this or not but there's a piece of hair right on his left ear that totally resembles a rubber duckie. Seems fitting for someone deemed "mentally imbalanced".

Besides being funny it's also well done. Great choice of colors and I'm impressed with the depth you achieved.

Thank you! Yeah, I was going for a bit more muted colors, like in an old photograph.

OOoo... I'm going to have to send you a note in response to this comment.

Thank you! I was going for a more muted color scheme, like in an old weathered photograph or something.

Thanks! I was thinking it made him look a bit more ghostly. Admittedly I was sort of going for shades of Mignola.
