I’ve given significant sketching time to the heroes from the Dark Tower, but haven’t done anything on the villains. Actually, maybe villain isn’t quite the word for all of them. Certainly, the Crimson King is villainous, but Mia is more of a single-minded, selfish antagonist. Anywho, I decided to do a series of drawings for some of these folks working against Roland and his Beam-saving crew. Words of warning: I will discuss a bit on how the story ends for these creeps, so there will be spoilers! Abandon now if you want to remain spoiler-free about the Dark Tower.
In this group, I started with my favorite of all these nefarious characters, the wily Walter Padick/Randall Flagg. Then I did the Crimson King, Andrew “Tick Tock Man” Quick, and worked through two different versions of Mia Daughter of None. I wanted to try Dandelo, but I couldn’t get a good mental image of him. And I decided not to sketch Mordred, mostly because I already did a spider creature in the Red King. Honorable mention to Blaine the Mono, who was one of my favorites; unfortunately I don’t think a picture of a train would completely convey his insane personality. Plus I’ve never even drawn a train before.
