Of Haystacks and Pumpkins

"Then there was Benedict, tall and dour, thin; thin of body, thin of face, wide of mind. He wore orange and yellow and brown and reminded me of haystacks and pumpkins and scarecrows and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. He had a long, strong jaw and hazel eyes and brown hair that never curled. He stood beside a tan horse and leaned upon a lance about which was twined a rope of flowers. He seldom laughed. I liked him."

~ Nine Princes in Amber

(Wow. I do have some SERIOUS problems with proportions...)

I have spent the last two weeks or so re-reading one of my all time favourite fantasy book series, the Chonicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny. I highly, highly recomend this book to every one who enjoys fantasy and/or science-ficton. Seriously, if you do, please stop reading this description, run to your nearest library, get the first tome and read at least a few chapters from it. Then you can come back again.

(If you really did that you're awesome )

Benedict of Amber is my favorite of the brothers, do I really need to explain why? And I am planning to draw, if not all of the trumps, at least a few other characters.
