Just finished reading Martin the Warrior, which means its time to draw its villains (and also its heroes??)
Martin the Warrior really is the best redwall book so far (even dethroning Mariel of Redwall and its very angry protagonist) what a spectacular ending and probably my favorite set of protagonists

This is a drawing of me as one of Ironbeak's Rook soldiers from the Cartoon adaptation of Mattimeo from the Redwall book series by Brian Jacques
I commissioned this drawing from Trashrat11 on Tumblr and here's a link to their account
A favorite scene of mine from Redwall that I painted. It is during a moment of despair that Cornflower shows up and encourages Matthias and sets him back on track.
Please excuse the "non-biblically" accurate tapestry of Martin the Warrior!
Since I knew I was going to be in Brazil again this past week, I had scheduled my next Redwall tattoo to be done while I was visiting São Paulo. I found my artist through searching Sao Paulo botanical tattoo artists because I think their command of color would benefit me. I found Gabriela Dassio to be skilled enough for the job and she loved the idea when I sent her the reference art. I know in the book her she has green fletched arrows, but this reference had blue and I think it contrasts a bit better against her green tunic.
Now I have two heroes on this leg: Martin the Warrior and Grath. Thinking the next will be a villain on the inside of my calf.
Highly recommend going to Brazil for a tattoo AND the experience. Sure, you have to pay for the plane ticket, but the experience of visiting another country and returning with body art is worth it (to me at least).
I think Greenshroud because it could come at you on both land and sea. Goreleech can just come at you in the water and Vilu is just a normal stoat not a mutant.
