Half Man, Half Goat, and Half Tree by @lynne (Lynne)

It's been a while since I've actually done some FAN ART and the thought horrified me for a little while. But then, I thought, it's been a real long time since I've met a movie and characters I DON'T feel jaded by. I mean, Pan's Labyrinth is something I actually got EXCITED about...

So I thought hey, why not, and sketched this. It's painted with watercolors, and is the ent-style faun from Pan's Labyrinth, one of the best movies I've ever seen, and it's by a director/producer who just HAPPENS to have the same birthday as me... o_O October 9th.

Perhaps that is one reason why I pretty much went nuts over the designs in the film, especially that of the faun, who has got to be one of the most beautiful creatures I've seen in a while. With a good dose of ancient power and some Elam-esque ambivalence. This movie resonated a lot with me because I identify very strongly with the idea of not belonging in these world and seeking my Elder to initiate me into all those Magical Worlds. Twas that reality of my psyche that got me into things with Elam... the same thing makes me like this movie a whole lot. Besides that, one of it's major themes is one of the favorites in my life--choice.

Enough ramble. Enjoy painting.
