Artist's Comments

Yet another random sketch that's... yeah, not a 20 page essay. :( K seriously no more doodling for me til I write something.

Anyway this is what Stephen Maturin looks like in my head, he's creepy (slightly influenced by Paul Bettany's portrayal but shorter and darker, etc). Don't mess with his toad. :[!! And the toad is that obnoxious color because I've been watching 'Dead Like Me' ... haha.

Okay so yeah I'm a big dork so have some fabulous excerpts about Maturin from Patrick O'Brian's novels...

"I cut his throat," said Maturin, shearing through the string. Major Beck was used to bloodshed in open and in clandestine war, but his visitor's everyday, unemphatic tone struck a chill to his heart, the more so as Maturin happened to take off his spectacles at this moment, glancing at Beck with his expressionless pale eyes, the only remarkable thing about him.

Annnd a little gem from the mind of the man himself...

"My indignation against those birds was quite excessive," said Stephen inwardly. "It was no doubt caused by a sudden flow of bile, my posture exerting pressure on the ductus choledocus communis."

No really, he was glaring at some birds and then puked a lot. You should all read these books.

He's like a naturalist-spy-opium-addict-surgeon machine. How can you not love that. :]

Shame on you, Maurice. Can you not see that you have insulted the freak?
:iconrobo-chomp:
Man, I am so jealous of how you draw faces. It's maddening!
:iconkreugan:
lol have you seen the Master & Commander movie? It's based on a bunch of books blahblahblah... but Paul Bettany plays this guy in the movie. :V Even though he's supposed to be short and weigh like 125 pounds haha (but hey it's Paul Bettany, I wasn't complaining).

Thank you! :) Haha I'm glad you mention the 'intense stare', that's one of his things. And w/e your comments are always worthwhile :love:
