Just a minute...

Description

...while I get my breath back!

Seigfried has just killed the giant turned dragon Fafner.

Heavily influenced by a hazy memory of [link] so I suppose that makes me some sort of art thief :giggle:

I've been watching the centenary of Beyreuth production of the Ring [link] on dvd.
Herr Wagner was a loud mouthed, self serving, (do I HAVE to say anti-semitic?), manipulative sponge and cad and a bit of a looney but by jingo he knew how to score for brass instruments. (:wave: French Horn tragic here)
The Seigfried in the dvd (Manfred Jung) plays the hero for a bit of a twit.
Mind you, Donald McIntyre's Wotan is cool and threatening.
This was my first (successful) attempt to use coloured pencil on heavy, tinted watercolur paper. I found some ink erasers (you know, the blue end of the rubber) which rough up the surface as they erase wheras the soft ones tend to polish the surface. I also used a small (1cm square) piece of corrundum paper. Is the corrundum going too far?

Done for :iconatomictiki:'s monster jam [link]

Great work!! You've chosen an angle I wouldn't have thought of.
