This is my first real painting on my tablet.  It was a super bitch.  Fucking Photoshop shitted out on me halfway through the first one.  The painting itself is kinda a one liner but there’s an idea behind it.  I was thinking the other night about what was going through Rumple’s head when the curse took effect.   He’s a person who defines himself by how much power(magic) he has, he needs that power to get his son back.  The idea that he would transported to a land without magic must have been terrifying. But 28 years as an ordinary man, ignorant and unaware of his past mistakes must have sounded good.  I think some part of him welcomed the memory loss.  Habitually making shitty decisions tends to weight a person down.  Also, this is supposed to be him being stripped of his magic and becoming Mr.Gold.  Also, also, Robert Carlyle what is your face, sir? You beautiful motherfucker.
