Artist's Comments

"I am not a number! I am a free man!"

drawn without photo reference to Patrick McGoohan, but I think he came out ok anyway (damn is that man ugly). photoshopped like hell, because fanart for The Prisoner pretty much requires misguided artsy tweeking.

I actually really like this piece. There's a fluidity here that captures very well the elusive quality of Number Six, as well as conveying the man's natural movement/characteristic.

If I'm to suggest anything, it would be two small things.
First, as a fanboy of the show, I have to demand you include this font to your collection. Of course, if you dig The Prisoner too, you'll thank me. It's called The Village Font, and it's modeled very closely to the shows original font. I'm confident it would work very well against this piece.

Secondly, I know what you mean about the artsy tweaking.
I think you could disuade the flatness of the black background by merely adding a large white circle behind your character to kind of frame him out a bit. And what's nice about that is, not only would it be aesthetically pleasing, but you could do what I couldn't and say it's Rover (that weird white ball thingy that pops up out of the water and chases people down?).

Anyway, great work!! Love it.

thanks! (I tried to imintate the scene that seems to repeat over and over, where Patrick McGoohan's face leaps into shot, bugging his eyes and yet squinting at the same time. plus all the "stealthy" leaping around he does)

1) that's funny, because I tried downloading that font from another source which didn't work, so I'm glad to have one that does. thanks!

2) the original sketch actually had a Rover in it, where the title is now, because they're one of the best parts of the show. (seriously - attack balloons?). the artistic tweaking was also alot tackier originally, but Number 6 himself actually has fairly cool style - it's just the rest of the Village that dresses like an acid trip in a crayon factory. I thought plain black suited him better. I like the idea of working the Rover into the design

thanks for the critique, it was very cool
