Ormulogun

Ormulogun of Li Heng was a well-regarded artist accompanying the Malaz 5th Army under High Fist Dujek Onearm.Memories of Ice, Dramatis Personae The old Emperor, Kellanved, had been in the habit of sending talented artists with every army on campaign to serve as historians, charged on pain of death to accurately record their triumphs and failures. One of the Marines estimated that they carried around eight hundred canvasses in a wagon, representing something like ten to eleven years which Ormulogun had spent documenting the Genabackis Campaign.Memories of Ice, Chapter 21, UK MMPB p.887-892
He was a wild-haired man with paint-stained fingers who wore a stained collection of rags. Ormulogun sat cross-legged while painting on wood-backed muslin, and constantly mumbled quietly under his breath. He did not suffer fools who interrupted him gladly.Memories of Ice, Chapter 21, US SFBC p.749 His lips were stained from pointing his brushes and his beard was stained from a bizarre sputtering technique in which he chewed pigments in a mouthful of spit.The Bonehunters, Chapter 16, US SFBC p.655 His nose and breeches were stained from where he scratched them with his paint-stained hands.
Ormulogun was always accompanied by Gumble, a large talking toad who served as his critic. Amongst the Malazan Marines, Ormulogun was sometimes referred to as 'Gumble's pet'. The two squabbled continually, each delivering calculated insults. The artist kept a pouch of living but de-winged deerflies in a pouch at his side for his amphibian companion. Gumble judged that Ormulogun was mad, something the toad put down to Ormulogun softening his paints in his own mouth thus poisoning his brain.
The artist carried an overflowing leather satchel with supplies. According to Gumble, Ormulogun worked with "oils by the dozen, each with specific qualities; and pigments culled from crushed minerals, duck eggs, dried inks from sea-creatures, leaves and roots and berries; and jars of other mediums: egg whites from turtles, snakes, vultures; masticated grubs, gull brains, cat urine, dog drool, the snot of pimps." Gumble, however, admitted that some of these ingredients were artistic license on his part.
