THE WAY STATION (1982)
Acrylic on Illustration Board - 20” x 30”

It should come as a surprise to no one that I just love painting textures. 1/3

From the inside of a rundown shack, a yellow stretch of desert is visible through weathered boards. Framed by a polygonal space between boards, the last gunslinger Roland Deschain and his companion Jake Chambers can be seen walking away.

THE DARK TOWER (2004)
Acrylic on Panel - 30” x 40”

After illustrating THE GUNSLINGER back in 1981, it seemed only natural that I return to close this epic series that spanned three decades. 1/3

#fantasy #illustration #stephenking #darktower #rolanddeschain #donaldmgrant

Bathed in twilight, Roland Deschain stands in a field of red roses that surround a tower of massive girth. With arms crossed, he holds up a big revolver. Fingers wrap the sandalwood grips with noticeable tension on the trigger. Loosely knotted cloth spills from his other wrist, exposing the back of his hand, but not the fingers on his right hand. The cloth is bloody where it wraps over pinky and ring finger as he clutches the stem of a rose. Behind him, a narrow stone path leads through the field, past the faces of fallen statues that stare blankly up to the sky. Steps lead up to a wedge of light marking the tower entrance rendered as if the door is ajar. It's unclear whether the light comes from the chamber within or the flaring sun is shining through from the other side of the tower.

THE DARK TOWER: THE LONG ROAD (2009)
Acrylic - 30 1/2" x 22"

I've revisited the Dark Tower many times in my career and with each trip to Mid-World I find myself a little farther down the road in my own journey. 1/3

#fantasy #fantasyart #sff #illustration #stephenking #darktower #rolanddeschain

Roland Deschain—tiny in perspective even in the immediate foreground—trudges down a dusty road across empty scrubland. Low mountains give way to sunset sky tinted orange and a bank of clouds. Tentdrils of cloud wrap behind a smooth tower that shows no signs of being anchored to the ground. From the tall thin crenelations at the top, thin bright beams of light shoot outward at 90 degree angles.
