This was a tough commission & admittedly not our standard fare. The owner, Ian, had added some description while talking to us:

“This was in fact the reason I was so pleased with the Competition, I get to have all these creative people adding bits to my character concept. Would you believe that I had not in fact THOUGHT of Magnus being/looking female, but it is wonderfully logical/sensible, just the sort of thing I can imagine him actually doing? What a brilliant concept! For all I know “he” could just as easily BE female masquerading as male, as in the lady duellists and “musketeers” of old France? I am already keen on the sketch! I like the long hair, by the way, (s)he could make use of that in both guises? Also the “athletic” figure would suit bothe guises as a Swashbuckler?”

Soooo…if you didn’t hear this part, the version we came up with might seem a bit odd, but Ian was happy with it; “I like the pic very much”

Also, Ian had said from early on, “I have never truly pinned down his looks, the idea is he may be anyone or anything he wishes, within reason! I think of him as an enigmatic smile and a nonchalant look, mostly!”

Finally, it’d help if the sketch could be enlarged, so I’ll go get Expy to bug Yax about that. Bottom line, check out our galleries to see what else we’ve done. This commission admittedly was a bit ‘confounding,’ to continue the theme.
