WIP for Elric of Melnibone

1. He has a feeling of enchantment to him. I knew there was a reason you lack some foundation in Maths, you have all of it in Arts…

   • His deficient albino blood makes him weak, so he studies magic and philosophy all day. He was the strongest Melibonian sorcerer his world had known for centuries. Maths seemed very redundant and dull, so I kept myself amused in other ways. In retrospect, it was a poor use of my time…

2. In accordance with the checklist, it is true this is him.

   • Moorcock described Elric quite well, so if I didn’t depict him accurately I have nobody to blame but myself…

     • After Moorcock, you are the one who portrays him, with confidence, so at least we have a picture or reference about Elric.

       • I am only one of many who has attempted to depict the white wolf…

         • Yes, but you have your own version I guess…

3. I can imagine it is difficult because I can only draw a doodle and a child will even shame me on that hahaha but the brooding, the haughtiness, the angst are all there in your work. You just need to provide breath to him and he might just come alive. Lol! Seriously. Quite lovely. And I will pen a poem for the flightless bird. Lol!

   • The last thing you want is Elric alive. I look forward to your ode to my flightless bird…

     • Kindness, according to Socrates, is innate in mankind. Uhm, is Elric mankind? Hahaha. Oh sure, humans are flightless bird anyway — trapped here, cannot fly away. Lol!

       • Elric is a Melnibonian, they have nothing but contempt for petty human emotions. Truly, the world is a better place without them (if much less interesting)

         • Where there is light, there must be dark. Without Elric, how can we say that the world is a better place to live without them?

   • How nice of you to say. It can be quite difficult to depict personality traits in a portrait…
