THE AYATOLLAH OF ROCK'N'ROLLA

Welcome to my stupid Tumblr! If you like my work, you should check out my portfolio at jgillustration.com, where I have lots more!
So, Andrea recently did an awesome, awesome, AWESOME illustration based on a scene in Gene Wolfe’s incredible Book of the New Sun series, and I decided that I wanted to draw the scene that pretty much happens right after hers!  This is when the Undine, which is basically pretty/disgusting lady-Cthulu in the books, surfaces in front of the main character Sevarian, and starts to get crushed under her own weight. I can’t emphasis how outstanding these books are!  They’re definitely the best things I think I’ve ever read. I think I may turn this illustration into a postcard!
