Miguel De Cervantes' delusional Man of La Mancha engages the "Giant With Flailing Arms" as his hapless squire Sancho Panza looks on in the wonderful DON QUIXOTE.

Wonderful piece!
The expression is great. I really need to finish reading the book...

"Normal" is merely a polite term for boring.

Great capture. I always found the story remarkbly sad.
:iconrhfay:
This is great! I love it! A fitting depiction of Cervantes' poor deluded hero.

Your posts are far between. But damn when you do post something, its absolutely breath taking beautiful. As always this piece is incredible, magnificent. I am particularly fond the way you shaded the horse. You went for straight up black with very little light on its body. Very effective because all of the attention is on the rider not the animal. However the pose of the horse is very exciting.

The windmills are gorgeous, the hill sides are equally stunning. I cannot get enough of your work. Absolutely _________ you fill in the blank. I ran out of words.

OH.. I also like how you drew outside the frame. Brave move, something I would never do. You broke the seal, the border, that holds the depiction inside its world. That's something that should never be done, but you did it. And it works.

Don Quixote fighting the windmills (giants)! :D That's my favourite scene from the book. Love it. I particularly like how you portray Sancho Panza frantically trying to discourage his "master".
