Richard ii

[pepperland2.livejournal.com]

Hi,
I am a "Richard II"-fanatic from Germany. Some years ago I read a novel by Rebecca Gable and that got me into the Plantagenet theme (uh, that's rather an embarrassing way, is it not?). I almost fell in love with Richard II when I saw the Shakespeare play in 2005 in Germany, although it wasn't very good. Somehow I forgot all about it.

But some months ago I googled the internet and I came across a picture of Ian McKellen as Richard and PENG! I was commpletely out of my mind :-) Now I finished writing a parody about the play and hope to get it published one day.


Oh, that blue eyes... the blue flower of romanticism


I coloured the original picture, because....... I am obsessed


Some playing around with morphing


Guh............


That's the face!
This is how I always imagined Richard in the play without even knowing the 60s McKellen

Sir Ian is All Teh Sex. For that matter, so is Richard II. A good match, therefore.

You might enjoy this (http://angevin2.livejournal.com/668684.html): there are some lovely clips of Sir Ian there. There are even a few where the stupid narrator doesn't talk over him.

oh, that lovely clips! I know them by heart. I just wish I could shut up that poor man's Draco Malfoy for talking over the thing.
