STORMBRINGER (1977)Acrylic on Masonite - 30" x 20" I remember trying to get in the mood of painting for the last time the albino sorcerer king, Elric. I took a clothes rail out of a closet for my sword and ran around outside slashing at weeds and lunging at the breeze. 1/5#fantasy #fantasyart #sff #illustration #michaelmoorcock #elric #dawbooks

#PennedPossibilities 778 — Does your antagonist enjoy reading? Tell us about the material they would choose to read. Dr. Death isn't exactly the sort of man to choose romance novels, that's for sure.
