Artist's Comments
So this is my first deviantART gallery post. It's pretty indicative of what I do when left to my own devices. I start with a pencil drawing, scan it in, and then do this digital chiaroscuro thing to it.
There's really no story behind this illustration. I just wanted to draw a crotchety old alchemist and his apprentice who's obviously had enough of the old man's constant rambling about animal innards and such. Image Copyright 2007 George Sellas Daily DeviationGiven 2007-11-12The Alchemist's Apprentice by *GeorgeSellas is just wonderful! The lighting, the textures, all of the little details, and most importantly, the expressions on the characters themselves really draw out a story for the viewer. It reminds me of the classic Disney movies which used to be hand animated, and all of the work which would go into simply portraying a character's emotion.

Soft as Silk and just as Slick!
I really love the lighting in this, it makes the picture feel very warm and inviting, and helps give a better feeling to what the character's may be thinking.
For example, the boy is probably rolling his eyes as he's being lectured/rambled at for the lighting is too poor to read by, and the alchemist is not even looking at his book; perhaps he knows/thinks the alchemist is just making things up to sound important, or the alchemist simply knows the book by heart.
I also love the noses of both characters, they're very fitting.
Great job, George!
