Description
I have many of the broad strokes for my idea of an Earthman transplanted to the distant planet of Saturn and embroiled in a struggle for the throne of the greatest kingdom on that world...(and for those of you who have made the comparison... it is inspired by JOHN CARTER, WARLORD OF MARS). I wanted to, though, draw for this sketch a quiet, contemplative moment as the main character reflects on the events that have led him to stand on this golden ringed world so far from his home....Related content

This is great, man. Love your style. You capture character's movement, expressions, and strength wonderfully.

Great drawing, but a little word of warning, Saturn is the second largest Gas Giant in our solar system.
Although it has a small solid core and it's gravity does not differ much from earth, the gasses on the surface are in liquid form due to the pressure which is a 1000 Bar, here on earth it's 1 Bar. Meaning that any object that isn't solid get's crushed untill IT IS a solid Ball. Let's not forget that the surface temperature is 12000 Kelvin (Hot, very Hot) and the gasses like Hydrogen, methane and others are poisonous for our organisms. Your hero might fair better on one of the 62 known satelites that surround Saturn, but don't hold your breath. And for the record in our solar system, most planets are inhospitable for man, the reason people are thinking of going to mars is because because the inhopitality of Mars is reasonably survivable.

So, let me get this straight: you are criticizing the FANTASY, science-FICTION artwork above, totally side-stepping the imagination and creativity involved? -- It's called a "life"; you might want to pick one up, next time you're at the store...

Oooh sour-puss has finally awakened. This message is more than half a year old. Do you spend your socalled 'life' watching every message dating back to the beginning of DA solemly to find a reason to bitch about. Without any art on your own page, or is "bitchin about comments" your art ?
If so i'm not the one expected at the lifestore, While your there pick up some education and learn how to read. I started by saying "great drawing" and I meant it.
Further more I provided him with information which could aid him exploiting his character, make some improvements or keep the title but think of a reason why he's called the prince of Saturn.
And finally I commented his artwork not the response someone else gave to his artwork. You don't comment the artist in person, which is what you should be doing, but sidestep and tell ME what you like about it. You could have said something positive yet you rather like to complain. Complaining is for loosers who don't have any art of their own.
It's easy to point at someone else when YOU are the one making all the mistakes.
Bye now, have a nice day

Great perspective and I really like the over-all feel of it. It almost has a retro Flash Gordan feel to it for some reason... Very nice!

Beautiful pic. The look in his eyes is amazing. Think I agree with Geministranger, it might as well be Wieringo himself standing there.

I think i had seen your drawings before, randomly searching through DA. His art is awesome, death sucks, no one diserves it, hope you are happy wherever you are, in the land of fantasy you crated

How poignant this piece is now.
I am sure that Mike is standing on a golden ringed world right now, quietly contemplating...and smiling.
Godspeed Prince of Saturn.

It was an horrible and tragic the news that this incredible artist named Mike Wieringo, passed away.
Unfortunately, I never knew the man, but I knew his fabulous works.
Mike Wieringo was an amazing artist, he captivate me (I am from Brazil) and others around the world with his artwork style. His art in comics was so fluid that look more like an animation than a simple comic panel.
Unfortunately now he became part of the amazing artists that left us, like Leonardo DaVinci, Jack Kirby, Will Eisner and so many others.
The sorrow of his fans, fellow artists, friends and family will remain but his incredible art will live forever in our comics and memory.
I’ll miss this incredible and amazing artist.
My deepest sympathies and condolences to Mike’s loved ones, family and friends alike.

Nice, I loved Burroughs books as a kid. No one quite approached science fantasy like he did, and this is a great tribute to his work.

This may sound like a strange compliment but I find that people rarely draw both attractive men and attractive women, but you do! Good job!

Excellent pic, and sounds like a cool story.
Not the rain on your parade but...Saturn is a gas planet, though. >_> It would be hard to stand on. D:

Well, I'm not too worried about that-- it would be impossible for a man from the 1870's (or so) to actually GET to the planet in the first place, so I think I could play a little fast-and-loose with the facts of Saturn's solidity...
