/!\ Dark Tower VII spoiler !


Sorry folks; no babes today :lol:

BUT you win a big crazy man in exange

So this is Los the crimson King from Stephen King's the DARK TOWER as he is described in the last page of book VII (Santa claus style, psychopath red eyes...)

Took some liberties however, but not too much.

Started this work with a fake photo of the Joker used for batman : the dark knight movie found on the net.
Changed so much that now it's hard to find where it came from; but in case you had a doubt, now it's ok :lol:

painted (yes) on photoshop 7.0
+ traditionnal textures


the Crimson King ,the DARK TOWER are © Stephen King

Haha yeah I agree it did sound like he was talking about a maniacal Santa Claus. Then again, considering DT is about a lot of stories, it wasn't that much of a surprise either.

You did a great job at portraying him. :D The way he ends up in DT, he turned up being quite pathetic though. I do wonder why he was so weakened in the end. I think it's explained but I don't quite remember.

And DT is the best series ever!

I'm actually still on the 4th book ( what a pathetic reader I am!) but rather expected the Crimson King to be beastly like in the comics, anyho, this is very good, please keep up the good work
