I've been meaning to do this for some time now.
Once Upon A Troubadour was one of the first drawings/paintings I made when I got my Wacom tablet few years ago. I still love the song and the concept, but after these years the execution itself has started to look pretty hideous. I really wanted to make an updated version of this piece - not only to do justice to the lovely song but also to see how much I have progressed during this time. So here it it - brand new
Once Upon A Troubadour! I'm personally pretty happy with the way it came out. Maybe another update in a year or two...

"A lonely bard wandering across the lands am I
Singing dancing finding answers to every why
The taverns are full and one crosses my path, too
I just might reward myself with a beer or two
This inn the place of many romantic tales
On the loft women offer their sales
But my eyes they catch a girl beat by everyone
A slave she is but for me a rose undone
Hear me sing
Watch me dance
Play that lute of thine
And share with me this dance..."
Nightwish - Once Upon A Troubadour
Beautiful drawing. The fireplace makes it very warm. I love the fire in drawings
