This epic cult cartoon painting comes from talented artist James Hance, and depicts an Adventure Time character in a new way. The character featured in this artwork is named 'Ice King,' and is the misunderstood villain in the show. Hance's painting seems to portray him in a more noble light.
This painting depicts the Ice King in a less cartoonish way. Granted he's still blue, but he looks pensive rather than mischievous. The cartoon version of Ice King has an absurdly long nose and sharp teeth, but those features aren't included in this painting. With him as always is his trusted penguin sidekick, Gunter. This painting keeps all of the important elements that make the Ice King who he is, but it shows the viewer that there is sadness in him as well.
Fans of the show are guaranteed to love this striking painting.
