The upstart prince.

Elric's treacherous, throne usurping, sicko cousin, Yyrkoon! There's next to no fanart of him...

I hated him, but that was a 'fun' sort of hatred... unlike my hatred for his depiction in the "Elric; The making of a Sorcerer" comics.

So here's my botched up attempt at illustrating the following.

"Down on the mosaic floor of the court Prince Yyrkoon can be seen in all his finest silks and furs, his jewels and his brocades, dancing with a hundred women, all of whom are rumoured to have been mistresses of his at one time or another. His dark features, at once handsome and saturnine, are framed by long black hair, waved and oiled, and his expression, as ever, is sardonic while his bearing is arrogant. The heavy brocade cloak swings this way and that, striking other dancers with some force. He wears it almost as if it is armour or, perhaps, a weapon. Amongst many of the courtiers there is more than a little respect for Prince Yyrkoon. Few resent his arrogance and those who do keep silent, for Yyrkoon is known to be a considerable sorcerer himself. Also his behaviour is what the court expects and welcomes in a Melnibonean noble; it is what they would welcome in their emperor."

Emperor Elric's getting soooo bored! (Yes that's him at the back). Yyrkoon sort of turned out quite stiff (the poser!).

Anyway, one of the many oooold sketches doomed to incompletion
