Description
*He came while the night was young;
he came while the first star was just starting
to look out...
He came and from the usual things he created magic;
he came and what was normal became extraordinary.
"who was he?"
asked the little lady
to a man who seemed not the simple one
he told her to be.
"He's the Knight of the Beauty around,
the one who shapes what others can not even
dream about.
He has eyes that he opens wider than
the others
and he has senses that catch longer
than the majority's fugitive forces.
Rapahel used to say
the artist gets inspired by Nature
to make things Nature so should have made,
then know he's an artist
and no more, cos more would sound tame"
and on her face a smile appeared,
and borrowing it out as well he vanished.
She waits since then for the fresh young night
to come and let her see again
the Knight who from nothing
can mirror the supreme
of beautiful realities around.
She waits since then,
and at night she composes rhymes
to call him those ways
she was banned at that time
he revealed her all magic
he chose to be for
both arrow and bow...
and following his example
she always tries to catch
what is so gorgeous
that can't be named right by men.*

So this is the second of my Knights, that I was about to upload last week, but you might imagine why I didn't (I still thank all who have showed me deep affection for my loss.. THANK YOU).
I guess everyone here MUST know this fabulous artist, and not only in 2D, but if you don't, let me introduce you Jean-Marc,aka jrulier.
Where to start from with him... well, why not from the peculiar way I have expressed in this portrait my admire for him.For me, he's a wizard.A magical artist devoted to the searching for beauty, and capable to catch the sensual side of living like no one else. In his subjects, he can find a specialness that his sixth sense (his soul) firstly perceives.Before the eyes, his heart feels the chemistry of living, and the passion for it a real face expresses but often in secret ways to our unimaginative minds, and through a real situation of sensual codified stances he keeps telling us more than just "Look, this is a naked body".He always suggests us behind everything that's celebrating passion, it lies the essence of our presence on this planet,and the complexity of social interactions.
He portrays what is the primordial, and eternal energy of sexuality with supreme elegance, and then he exalts and sublimates everything into a shape that so often comes so near to perfection that the viewer can just admire, but rarely gettin in its full quality, as the full quality of Jean-Marc's works is a mystery to the normal man.Still a voice keeps tellin us, those shivers we feels, either we are men or women, have a deeper meaning than the obvious guess we try for defining them.
So, here is my praise for you dear Jean-Marc, and my thanx for inspiring me with every single one of your works.The horns.. are cos you and I are Aries, and I thought that was to underline ;)
That quote of Rapahel is true, and it truely applies to you.
You let us enter in a parallel Universe where Beauty seems everyone's normal state.
But it's just an illusion the immense artistry of you gifts our eyes and souls with, and for this illusion, that is a pushing to greatness, I praise you and I will always do.
I am honoured to have got to meet you here. And without you, this place for me could never look the same.And well, you're also in full like a blonde version of my friend Gulli, whom you portraited so well kissing his wife not a long ago:great people.. LOOK alike? I think so.
Hugs. Meli :)

Another excellent tribute. I really like the psychedelic surroundings you extracted from that wonderful imagination of yours. I look foreward to the third Knight.

You are so right Meli, R'osity definately wouldn't look the same without this most talented Knight! Thank you so much for creating such a stunning tribute, the horns and surrealistic bent does remind me of the 'jrulier' touch ;) hugest hugs

Vibrant hommage et magnifique image.
gallimel
Yes Cassie my sweet angel :) the idea is to suggest with the flamboyant parts some of the elements he use. i see like.. he "throws" like a magic net from himself to the people he portrays these elements, like aura of magic around everything he mirrors :) okay.. i am mad ;) I hope he receives the original soon :)
gunsan
You are right Meli, he is a wizard, and you have caught that in your portrait (love the horns)and in your words. A beautiful gift!
jgeorge
As usual, your ability with pencil is great... Your portraits seem to be alive... and you did a wonderful job with the background... I really like this one very much! hugs
gallimel
The fact you feel yourself normal is even cuter dear :) Monet for all his life felt like a normal man who wasn't capable to really make good things. And all of us know how wrong he was there :) You can expect other than this.. well.. forever support and affection I guess :) and hopefully a quick delivery of your parcel :) You're special Jean-Marc. And you will see how many here think you are.And not only here. Kiss :) I am glad you liked my lil thing :)

I tuoi ritratti sono veramente notevoli: mi piace come curi i particolari, il tuo tratto delicato, la tua capacitdi ritrarre non solo un volto, ma anche la personalitdei tuoi modelli. Ogni tua opera incantevole :)

I had to look at Jean-Marc's gallery after seeing this. I now see why you have chosen him as a knight, and feel embarrased for not noticing his works until now. His work is genius and masterful as your work and esp. this one. This sketch looks just like him too. I love what you did with it, kind of surreal. Take care -Peace :-)

I guess now he is SIR RULIER! What an impressive tribute. I don't know if I like your words or image better - I think the two go beautifully together. Meli, you have a soft heart and that is a lovely thing - - - And SIR JEAN-MARC you do indeed deserve it!
syndroid
I really like how you've incorporated JRulier's tentacles, it gives it a very personal touch. I like how you're kind of shying away from the rough sketch lines in this series and incorporate the more gracious linework. Supermegawow ;]
wildfire2003
A beautiful sketch! jrulier always been a favorite of mine too! Love the oersonal touch you added for him, tentacles.
Synapse
Very inventive work Meli, it wouldn't have been such a fitting dedication without paying reference to the Rulier Meshes :-) And definitely his work deserves an accolade such as this. Enjoy your weekend hon kisses :-)
