"I've had so many names...
Old names that only the wind and the trees can pronounce.
I am the mountain, the woods and the earth.
I am...I am a faun."
Pan's introduction - Pan's Labyrinth
-------------------------------------
This is Pan, the faun from Pan's Labyrinth.
I watched this movie for my media project on Mexican Cinema and liked it so much that it kicked my butt into gear to actually draw something! (And it's been aaages!) I thought Pan was an amazing character, not only in appearance but in behaviour, too.
I also decided to go for it and put a background on this. It was pretty tough, because I had to keep the balance between the background (which came out way more detailed than I'd intended at first), and Pan himself.
I'm really pleased with the outcome. I started this soon after I watched the movie, so sometime around the end of April-beginning of May. Since then, I've done little bits and pieces to it whenever I've wanted to draw, which was quite often thankfully!
If you haven't seen this movie, honestly you should. It's Spanish language with subtitles, but it's pretty darn impressive. And it was directed by Gulliermo Del Toro (Blade II, Hellboy etc.), so the quality is great. But I think it has an 18 age rating...
Cool!! I love the shading, and the texture of his legs is awesome!!
I loved Pan's Labyrinth as well - it was such a great film...though, it was a bit gruesome in parts!
I saw it in the cinema, and remember that there were some scenes in which the whole audience was squirming and making little 'eww errghh' noises. (Mainly the torn lip sewing scene).
Thanks It took me aaaages to do the legs!
I know what you mean. Another 'eww' bit would have to be with the rabbit hunters and the gun Xo I was squirming and I saw it on a small screen!
Oooh, yes...that scene was really painful to watch. Actually, the whole film was quite painful - but in a moving way - not a horrid way (though, I had to shut my eyes at certain moments). I saw it with two friends, and one actually came out of the cinema sobbing. I was close to tears myself...
It was really 'ruthless' (if that's the right word ) - it moves the audience out of their comfort zone pretty much all the way through. I think that's why it's so moving, because you're not expecting it to be quite so... and it just pushes that. It's certainly unlike anything I've seen before!!
It's obvious that it was inspired by Grimms Fairy Tales. It's got that nasty streak in it.
I've heard its a good film, but I've got no motivation to see it. I probably will see it eventually though. Great drawing, even if I don't know what the hell it is!

"Is it that show about the little girl that wanders around the jungle without any adult supervision, averting crises and conversing with wild animals with the aid of her foreign-language-speaking monkey?"
If ever you get the chance, you should definately watch it! Unless you've got something against occasional gore...then I wouldn't recommend it quite so much.
