Description

Colleen continues to outdo herself. After a long hiatus during which she produced the incredible, hand-painted graphic novelization of Chivalry, and then an extremely dense adaptation of Good Omens, Colleen is finally getting back to commissions.

It's a Delight!

Perfectly placed circles and the pristine inking of the many mind-boggling details make this a fitting addition to the rest of the series, of which we've now reached the halfway mark.

The inspiration for this piece is a 100 year old illustration by Dugald Walker, but Colleen definitely brings her own flair and sensibility to the design. Colleen breaks the piece down nicely in a post on her Patreon, which in general is just full of great history and background, and is highly recommended.

We all need a bit of Delight in our lives right about now, but it seems we're just embracing Delirium.

Hadn't heard of Walker before this, but certainly fabulous stuff. Collen is a awesome hereself, and my first instiinct was to say "Mucha would be proud!"

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and Delights me
Oh no
It's just the Endless of you

It is that Colleen’s illustration
That brings this sensation
Oh no
It's got the Endless to you

When you're in my stars
And I feel you so close Colleen
All my wildest Dream come through
I need no soft lines to enchant me
If you'll only grant me
The right to hold you ever-so-tight
And to Neil in the night
The Endless of you

It is indeed a fun and lovely stylistic homage to the Walker piece, and we all DO indeed need a little Delight in our lives. After all, groove is in the heart!

Incredibly nice piece.  Design and execution are flawless.  I really like the piece that served as inspiration for the drawing.

Yowza! What a delight this drawing of Delight is! Absolutely gorgeous commission by Colleen Doran!  I love the Art Nouveau illustration this is based on. I don't know Dugald Walker's work, but the example you show is stunning! I love how Colleen took elements from Walker's drawing and then added her own take to it. Her drawing of Delight is sweet and enticing. I love the toga she's wearing and the crown of flowers in her hair. The circles of stars and cherry blossoms around her give the drawing a light and airy touch. The whole illustration is breathtaking. Marvelous pick-up, congrats!
