Buffy the Vampire Slayer // Rupert Giles // Anthony Stewart Head // Fyarl Demon

Fyarl Giles played by Anthony Stewart Head Watercolor Art Print from Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Printed at high resolution, with archival pigment ink on acid-free paper, at 5"x7" or 127 mm by 177.8 mm. (For easy framing, slip into a 5x7 photo frame.)

Perfect gift for Buffy fans! Especially those with fondness for everyone's favorite unemployed librarian slash father figure.

"I don't like this feeling. This mindless need to destroy. Anger. Rage." -Giles as Fyarl Demon.

Not everybody has such embarrassing taste in friends. Ethan Rayne transformed his former schoolmate Rupert Giles into a Fyarl Demon to distract Buffy and friends from his sketchy activities. Which almost worked. (In any case, if you don't remember this episode you need to drop everything and pull up Season Four, Episode 12 "A New Man".) It is hilarious.

Rupert Giles is a surprisingly not mild-mannered English Watcher who worked part time at Sunnydale high as a librarian. As a young boy he wanted to be a fighter pilot, but after an apparently dangerous rebellious phase (when he was kicking around with Ethan Rayne and went by Ripper) he followed in his footsteps of his father and continued his watcher training. The Watcher's Counsel has always looked down on him for his rebellious phase and was hesitant to allow him to guide Buffy in her training.

He was fired by the Watcher's Counsel and replaced by Wesley Wyndom-Price who Buffy refused to listen to. He was completely out of work once Sunnydale High was destroyed.

Fyarl Demons tend to be violent, impulsive and have the ability to destory almost anything.

Sketched with pencil, inked with india ink, pental pocket brush pen, painted with a mix Daniel Smith Watercolors and Winsor and Newton Watercolors. Finished with a hand-lettered quote that best describes Giles temporary psychological transformation, "I don't like this feeling. This mindless need to destroy. Anger. Rage."

(As a lifelong Buffy fan, I couldn't help but draw some monsters on my latest Buffy rewatch... yeah, I'm a show-binger. But who isn't?)
