This youth is the protagonist of my graphic novel, whose working title is The Love Warrior. His name is Torquil. I've had this GN in the planning for some years, and have lately decided to make it an illustrated novel rather than a comic book. This will call for fewer images, but of higher quality than the usual GN format: ones like this highly rendered illustration rather than more simply executed comics panels.
The Love Warrior is an adventure fantasy, my favorite form of literature. It's the opening story in a longer cycle, collectively entitled Tales of Cythera: hence the name of this blog.
Torquil is bisexual, hot tempered but with a good heart. He has a boyfriend and a girlfriend; the truth is he's a horny slut and likes to fool around. He's a terrific warrior and the bravest of the brave. His steed is a gryphon, whom we see here. His homeland, Cythera, is descended culturally from ancient Greco-Roman pagan civilization, the ancient Celts, and one or two other influences.
Currently I've got a completed script which I'm now novelizing. This is a long-term project that I mean to keep at for some time to come.
