Artist's Comments

Oh dear God, Mervyn Peake would be turning in his grave. :XD:

For those that don't know, the Gormenghast trilogy are my favourite books in the world...(erm, though I'm fond of HP of course, ahem)...I love them for thier black humour, thier clotted descriptions of life in a great, big, and utterly mad castle, thier general weirdness but most of all I love them for thier fantastically eccentric and rather deranged characters. :w00t:

Me and my mother are infact so keen we thought about making a 'panto', yes I know that would be very silly, and we decided that the opening lines should be "Gormenghast, it's a blast, Steerpike and Fuschia and all the cast!" sung very badly to the opening music of JC Superstar.

Why? Because we're weird. :D

This odd, crappy little watercolour was rescued from my art folder and shows Steerpike, a rather odd young man with a taste for skinny-dipping, dancing and homicide, and Fuschia, a rather odd young woman who enjoys talking to flowers and ripping people's faces off, singing about themselves and thier home. My favourite characters from Gormenghast! :dance:

This follows on from my last painting, see the links on it for more info...

I don't remember her ripping people's faces off....hmm...::thinks really hard:: Oh, my mother and I are crazy like that too. ^^ We wrote a song about goat cheese and Loki to the tune of Vanessa Carlton's "Twilight". I love the deranged characters, too! And I love how you painted Steerpike for some reason...it just looks awesome.

“Yes, Violet,” she said to herself forcefully, “that’s where they keep the preserved hands.”
:iconkinkybootz:
Ooooh she does!

She does in the book anyway, she sticks her finger-nails into Steerpike's face when she gets angry with him, it's in Chapter 30 I think! :D

Glad you like him, he's a cute lickle Steerpike indeed!

Oh, that's what you meant. ^^ Yeah, she tears holes in his face...That's probably one of my favourite scenes in the book...

:iconkinkybootz:
Same here, it was great to think of them rolling about on the floor together! :D
