Mr. Lynn from Diana Wynne Jones's novel Fire & Hemlock. I'm not too far into it (I've read it before, but years ago), but Mr. Lynn is uber adorable and I wanted to draw him.

TORTOISE-MAN!!! WHOOOO! XD

I probably drew him a bit too young, but if I remember correctly, isn't there something between him and Polly? So the younger the better. O_o Because at the point where I am in the book, she's about 10, and he's just been divorced. So, ummm.... >_>

Used a photo of David Wenham for reference. :D (But, no, I wasn't trying to make it look too much like him.)

I hate the way his hair turned out, though. But oh well, I'm lazy.

:iconalidaart:'s drawing of several DWJ heroines inspired me to reread the book. XD [link]

Nice! I just reread the book. The youthful nerdiness works very well, plus you can't go wrong using David Wenham as a model for anything.

I'm pretty sure he's not THAT much more than ten years older than her. Which is still a bit weird, but then, DWJ's heroines tend to have a thing for older men.

Anyway, this is sort of exactly how I imagined him... so cute! And the glasses...

...have you read Hexwood?

i think we're not given a set age just that his what 10 yrs older than seb, so his like 23-24 ish when we first met him andhis desribed like his in his 30/40's as well so his hard to pin down age wise, which has its pliuses and minases (sorry bout the spellin) :)

Yeah, I seem to remember him being about 24 at the beginning of the novel, although we don't find that out til rather late. ^_^
