Again for my Illustration class, a painting (inked in ballpoint, coloured in Painter 9) of Poe's The Cask of Amontillado featuring a cluelessly drunk Fortunato facing a reflection of his mask and of his impending death in the walls of the catacomb... You can find the story on the IntarWeb if you're unfamiliar with it, but the grinning fool in the foreground is mere minutes away from being chained to a wall and murdered by the suspicious-looking character towering behind him, Montressor.

Maker, I'm fond of those skulls. Hm. Oh, and the piece isn't quite finished yet- I still have a bit to do with Fortunato and certain areas colouring-wise, but I'll get around to it soon enough.

(ballpoint and Painter 9)

This is fantastic

Love the raven mask for Montressor; very fitting. Awesome style, too!

Montressor reminds me of Dr. Facilier from "The Princess and the Frog" for some reason

This picture is gorgeous! I love this story. I love how you captured the homicidal gleam in Montressor's eye and his threatening...trowel...

Moody and excellent!

I love 'Cask of Amontillado'. I'm a fangirl, I suppose. Wonderful art, and true to the story, oh, and your style is fabulous, by the way. This one's going in the favorites!
