My entry for The Game (that you can enter HERE), word "quixotic".

So I just went for the root. Quixote!

My knowledge of this character is limited to a John Lithgow film and a 1970's cast recording of "Man of La Mancha", but I find him darling. Tragic, but darling.

The instant I started on that moustache, there was no going back. I went overboard. I couldn't stop! Can you blame me?

The dragon is there because, well...Quixote mistakes a windmill for a vicious dragon, if I remember correctly. Poor guy. And there's Sancho over there on the left.

Hey, that's not bad. The coloring is wonderful.
And the moustache and beard are awesome.

Very cool I love the coloring and the silhouette in the background. Love his beard

Minstrel Ayreon Says:

I LOVE it!!! The mustache is great, and of course the whole tilting-at-windmills thing...priceless!

Catleen Says:

YES. JUST. YES.

Kick butt characterization, it couldn't look more like him if you tired. =D

Eeeh!

Impeccably M Says:

That is amazingly awesome, and the coloring is smooth and kick asss! Though, I thought he believed the windmills where giants, not dragons. Myabe I'm wrong...

skinnyvee Says:

Yes, I seem to recall him mistaking the windmills for giants. I did not, however, read the book. ...I'm remembering Wishbone, rofl.

The mustache and eyebrows here get my full endorsement. You know I'd love them, amirite? I like the simple composition and color scheme, too.
