“Golden guardian of my wealth,
Hear me now, be still,Deathly fang and coiling stealth
Bend unto my will…”
…Now pose in this silly portrait with me.
Blimey! Ublaz has so many costumes in his book! I wonder how big his wardrobe is? In the end I went with the one he was first described with. The crown is meant to have a wave-like pattern, with the waves holding in the six pearls (or at least they would have if Ublaz ever got his hands on those damn things.)
Speaking of which, Ublaz is one of the few Redwall villains who causes the most destruction over the most little goal, to acquire six rose coloured pearls. Being separated from the slaughter, on his tropical island castle miles and miles away, he could not grasp the consequences of his greed. Then again, he was too busy pissing off the local population upon his island…
Ublaz gave me some grief as I had to repaint this fellow, but this time with a smaller snake. The larger serpent was just too distracting and attention-whoring.
I don’t really have much to say about this painting. I’m not as pleased with it as I am about the previous two, but I like the fabrics.
