A Life's Gamble

Description

An experiment in painting without lineart as well as fanart for one of my all time favourite authors, Rick Riordan! :D His fantasy series are top notch and rich in mythological goodness as well as fantastic character casts. (Plus - written in 1st person! I love 1st person!) What more is there to love? The Lightning Thief movie is terrible, go read the books!

Percy and his pegasi Blackjack, overlooking the ocean and an angry sky... maybe Zeus is having a fit at Poseidon...

The title comes from some notes I read on the wiki regarding Blackjack (Percy's pegasi) that mentions that Blackjack may have gotten his name after the risky card game because every time Percy takes to the sky, he puts himself in danger from Zeus. Also, just because he is a demigod (most don't have a great life expectancy) his life is definitely a very risky gamble.

I loved these books :) Though I was very disappointed with the film. Anyways, this painting has a nice sense of action to it, even though there is not a whole lot of movement in the characters themselves. I like your rendition of Blackjack too. He looks like he'd be quite nimble in the air :D
