In this week’s newsletter, Michael talks about early influences and his approach to illustration in the conclusion of this 3-part interview from 1982. theartofmichaelwhelan.substack.com/p/shayol-fan...

Roland Deschain, the last gunslinger, stares contemplatively across the sea as waves gently lap the shore. Footprints can be seen in the damp sand leading to where he sits, pistol unstrapped at his hip and bedroll at his side. The sun hangs low but intense, blazing a line of orange across the horizon. Over a low stretch of wispy clouds, the silhouette of an asymmetrical tower rises dream-like in the sky. Odd projections mark the sides while spires of varying height sit atop the peak like chaotic crenelations.

THE WAYFARER AND THE EVENING STAR (1997) Acrylic on Panel - 24” x 36” I was trying to learn the technique of Lucid Dreaming, but I have only had limited success. A self-portrait. 1/2

With a lantern held at his side, a man reaches out to touch the pitted orange texture of a tall standing stone. Stacked tight with no gaps between, rows of stone stretch endlessly to the horizon. Distant, the evening star can barely be seen in the hazy pink sky.

THE END OF NATURE V (2000) Acrylic on Canvas - 36" x 24"   The title is meant as a double-entendre of sorts, something I enjoy doing with my personal work. 1/2

Set against a vibrant blue but cloudy sky, a woman wearing only a few small pieces of jewelry is framed by the V-shaped limbs of a dead tree. At first glance, it appears that her wrists are tied, but she's holding tight to the white cloth that wraps around each desiccated limb. As she leans forward with all of her weight, she stares off into the distance. The silky fabric she grips is covered in a pattern of thin gold ovals. Like her shoulder-length blonde hair, the ends of cloth are carried by the breeze. The skull of a bird hangs around her neck on a rigid chain. A similarly beaded chain wraps doubly around one calf, another an anklet on her back leg. A rust colored star hanging by a string is tangled in the thin branches above her.

EQUANIMITY (2000) Oil on Panel - 12” x 9” As with so many others, this is a virtue I feel a lack of in my own life. The figure is meditating that equanimity is found in the contemplation of the fullness of time. 1/2 #art

A woman sits naked on rough stone with her back to the ocean. Her knees are up and ankles crossed as she glances down in contemplation at an impression of an ammonite set in—or perhaps even painted on—sand colored stone. One arm is extended over her legs as she loosely holds a thin chain as if she were drawing the red glass heart tied to the end across the chambers of the ammonite. The chain now lies slack as she's lost in thought. Her other elbow is propped on her knee with that hand resting on her opposite shoulder, providing a perch to rest her chin on her wrist. The position of her limbs effectively covers her body, providing a measure of modesty. The background view is framed on either side by sea stacks, tall rocky formations with flat tops. The water is green, frothy at the shore and luminous as it extends under placid skies.

I actually made DS3 fanart way back when the gameplay trailer released. For the Vordt , Outrider Knight, and Cathedral of the Deep priest lovers (if there are any) you might like the old one too, haha

Coloured digital drawing of a packed cityscape, filled with odd creatures ranging from red flying skulls, witches flying on brooms and demons bartering with small gnomes. In its centre is a large worm like figure clad in several golden masks, adorned with purple eyes peers down at the cityscape below

HIGHGATE MIST (2010) Acrylic - 10” x 8” Looking for sketching subjects, I started to seek out sculptures of angels and enjoyed using them as models. 1/2

An orange butterfly settles on the chest of an angel statue. Its eyes are closed solemnly, and the left arm is broken off while the right is clutching a bouquet of flowers. Green and orange wildflowers dot the slope leading up to the statue, and strands of ivy creep up the angel's robes. A cross-shaped gravestone is partially obscured by the angel. Another rounded headstone sits at the right edge of the frame. Otherwise, the background is filled with greenery that gives way to loosely rendered trees and a peek of pale blue sky.

I've been obsessed with this art that Oscar Chichoni did for the 20 year special of Heavy Metal since I was a teenager - every time I see it, the door to my id opens:

A scarred knight with short blonde hair is being stripped of her heavy metal armor by a group of nuns swathed in black.

The ruins of the British Isles have inspired many works in the Portals subset of my personal work. Metaphorically the paintings visualize what it takes to overcome obstacles in the search for truth via intuitive experience. 2/3

Photo of Whitby Abbey by Lewek-rafek (CC BY-SA 4.0) - Whitby Abby shot from afar with a rippling lake to the right. The front facade falls completely in shadow while the side is in sunlight. There are three levels of arches on the side. The bottom level are pointed, the middle rounded, and the top smaller rounded windows. The front has an additional level coming to a peak but the roof is missing. Beside it are the top of two towers. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Whitby_Abbey_from_afar.jpg

We see don’t see the base of the pillars forming the arches, just the upper portion. The first window through shows a broken upper level at its peak and the pale sky beyond. The view through the last arch is obscured by stonework. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Whitby_Abbey_arches.jpg
