Poster #2

(C) Copyright 2007 Wes Murrell.

This is another poster I drew for "Prince of Banes." It's more of a teaser poster with its featuring only two characters. I like it though, because I think it communicates much more than the other poster does.

Pictured above, Agathon comforts Eraxymachus after having rescued him from Underworld demons that seek to take his life.

I tried to capture Eraxymachus' innocence and Agathon's determination in the same drawing; Eraxymachus' looking to Agathon for protection, and Agathon's heroic response to that. This poster features the two characters in the story who need redemption; the two who are always together in being always alone. The difference between the two is that Agathon is a fortress, so to speak, and Eraxymachus is a victim in need of that fortress.
