The Mystic of Devonia

by Alan Pollack

I’ve created hundreds of artist proof sketches for fans over the years. This new original oil painting The Mystic of Devonia is one of many paintings to come inspired by one of those sketches. They have helped me to rediscover my passion for illustration. I’m heading down a different path rooted in fantasy, sci-fi and horror but with a quirky flair, a sense of humor an hints of surrealism.

This particular painting is more genre specific than most. It definitely has a steampunk slant to it. Rather than go with the standard goggles I leaned towards a more bug-like appearance.

Be careful what you wish for when dealing with this trickster. He can grant you any wish. Fulfill any desire, but for what price? Those in his inner circle are loyal to a fault…. but can he truly be trusted? Part man, part insect, all wizard. Beware the Mystic of Devonia!
