Description
Steerpike... From Mervyn Peakes' Gormenghast trilogy.
The first two books "Gormenghast" & "Titus" are among my all time favourites, they are just incredible.
I'm not so much a fan of "Titus Alone", the third book, as Peake was heading into dementia when he wrote it and the plot became rather strange and disjointed.
So yes, Steerpike... A wonderful character, twisted, dark and infinitely charming.
Aptly described as a diabolically clever little monster, but like all charming villians... he doesn't end happily.
*Sigh* Why must it always be so?
Wacom, Photoshop, Paintshop & Photo for reference.
Thankyou for looking.

No words can express the impression... Absolutely masterful artwork!
As a fellow-enthusiast of the trilogy (in case you hadn't guessed!); this is superb. Lighting, atmosphere and expression all pull together very well. I don't know if you've seen Peake's original sketches, but there's more than a hint of them here.
