Journey - Lidenbrock by thehoverworm on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"Imagine a tall, thin man, with an iron constitution and youthful blond hair that made him look a good ten years younger than his fifty. His big eyes darted incessantly around behind imposing glasses; his nose, long and thin, was like a sharpened blade; unkind people even claimed it was magnetized, and picked up iron filings. Absolute slander: it only picked up snuff, but in rather large quantities to tell the truth."

So I've been reading Journey to the Centre of the Earth (by Jules Verne) again, and decided to do a bit of illustration. This is how I imagine Professor Otto Lidenbrock, which may be very different to how you do, but he was very clear in my head.

Expect a fair few more fanarts. It is an amazing book, after all. Only a sketch, so may be scrapped soon, but 'til then, enjoy~
