Description It's the Fool!!! I love da Fool... This is my rendition of him during his stay in the Mountain Kingdom in "Assassin's Quest" by Robin Hobb.

I really love this art! The androgyny, the body type, the fragility... It's really a sweet and adorable fanart. Also, the Fool is my favorite character ever <3

If you didn't read the Liveshape Trader's trilogy, you've got to. It's got a certain someone in it that may seem familiar

The Fool is a wonderful being and your version of him are probably the version closest to the truth I have ever seen.

This is splendid. The Fool is my favourite fictional character by far, and you have definitely hit the nail on the head here; it's exactly as I imagine him. Brilliant drawing, brilliant subject. You win

rebar31 [2008-03-05 04:14:38 +0000 UTC]

oh, i like this!

the fool was always my favorite. i like this picture of him, casual instead of in his jester's suit, like most people draw him.

very nice!

I know I've commented on this before... but I was looking at it again today and I love it so much.

His expression is perfect. To me, he appears slightly vulnerable (how I always imagined him, especially in regards to Fitz). But still, he seems kinda of wry, like if you threaten him, he'll shoot back with some fiercely witty, but biting comment.

I also love his slenderness. Robin Hobb always described him as being very slight, but also strong. I think this picture embodies is litheness, grace... everything! Even his posture is very fool-like.

There's something about this image that makes me want to look at it and look at it.

One of my very favourites.
Thanks so much.

annoyingairhead [2007-04-13 08:19:59 +0000 UTC]

Wow! I'm just waiting for that smartarse comment from him/her.
As you can see I haven't decided on what I think the Fool's gender is.

ladyatropos [2007-03-27 12:45:35 +0000 UTC]

i swear, this is my favourite picture of the fool of all time. his wry, slightly vulnerable expression... the androgyny of his body... his eyes...
*falls in love*
actually, I fell in love with this a long time ago.
I'm just finally getting around to commenting.

Mmm, that is one sexy fool. His expression is *perfect*. Really nice . . . shame about Hobb's dislike of fan work.

Only fanfiction, thought. Fanarts or cosplays are okay.

I know, it makes me sad how little of it is out there . . . I hear that it's beause Robin Hobb HATES fanart/fanfiction, which also makes me sad

Well, actually, she hates fanfiction only. Fanarts are fine, and she really loves them! One of my friends offered one to her when we meet her, and she was quite enthuastic about it.
