This is a book cover illustration I did for a friend of mine. I don't really know much about the character, other than he is mysterious and somewhat magical.

Has your friend bothered to publish his/her book yet? If so whats the name of it? I would love to read the story as this cover got me hooked.

This picture rocks so hard. I think people are going to pick the book off the shelves and buy it for the cover. Later, they will read what I wrote and go, "what?"

Amazing work!
