He probably said they were nut brown because they were nut brown. Generally that's what authors mean when they describe something.

And I doubt any Clayr dyes their hair. In a fantasy world where the dead come to life, I think strange appearances are the least of the unbelievable elements.

That is not at all what I meant. You missed the point entirely.

But since it was five months ago, it's not exactly up for discussion anymore, is it?

I think this has to be one of the best pieces of Abhorsen art I've ever seen.

I'd normally complain that they're supposed to be nut-brown, but this is just too beautiful!

The Clayr are black, but it's cool otherwise, good work.

making the models artifically 'nut brown' would have ruined the stock, i did try it honest, thank you anyway

Interesting interpretation. A lot more modern than I've ever envisioned these characters.

It looks very good except for one small detail. The Clayr were dark skinned. Other than that It is superb

Thanks! i'm glad you like it! Not entirely sure how i feel about the prospect of a movie ...hope if they do it they stay true to books and Nix is screenwriter!!

Amoniel In reply to Gwenhwyfar28 [2008-10-19 09:31:24 +0000 UTC]

Yeah
I'd hate to see it ruined like the way they did Eargon
And The cast would have to be perfect as well.
And I hope they stay with the proper storyline and hopefully NIx is the screenwriter.

lol, thanks for the oddly enough this is my most critisised work in the set cause the girls skin is pale instead of 'nut brown' *sigh*

darklocket In reply to Gwenhwyfar28 [2008-09-06 03:13:41 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I suppose that would cause a lot of criticism, but I do believe even Nix has gone back on a few things. I was a freakish Abhorsen fanatic in middle school and I screamed aloud during some weird silent reading time because I found an error. What is, I remember not. Too many years back.

I also dressed up like Sabriel for Halloween- even at school. I can't tell you how much noise I caused with all my bells!

Gwenhwyfar28 In reply to darklocket [2008-09-06 06:08:33 +0000 UTC]

lol! very cool, you got your hands on 7 different sized bells??

darklocket In reply to Gwenhwyfar28 [2008-09-07 02:25:36 +0000 UTC]

Heck yes! What kind of Abhorsen would Sabriel be if all her bells were the same size?
I found them at an arts and crafts store. And then, I grabbed my belt, got the rings that hold index cards together and put the bells on the belt holes. I must say, it was ingenious- although embarrassing. I also tried to spray paint my hair black, but my dad wouldn't let me.

I love the Abhorsen books, Garth Nix is a genius - but aside from that, great work! She looks just like how I would imagaine the Clayr to be. And I love the addition of the litle charter symbols on the dresses!

TortallanMaster [2008-05-22 21:38:52 +0000 UTC]

This may seem like such a small detail to you. But they're too pale to be Sanar and Ryelle. The Clayr are mainly tan-skinned. Lirael was pretty much the only "Pale" one out of them.

Gwenhwyfar28 In reply to TortallanMaster [2008-05-22 23:11:02 +0000 UTC]

no it's not a small detail and yes i am aware that the clayr are described as being dark skinned but i liked these girls & this picture and decided to use it ...

Siete-Mei [2007-12-30 00:06:40 +0000 UTC]

I thought that they were supposed to have nut-brown skin, not white?

Aside from that, it's a truly beautiful picture.

It's really good, but doesn't Garth Nix describe the Clayr as being nut-brown?

Gwenhwyfar28 In reply to AriadneArca [2007-05-20 19:03:11 +0000 UTC]

yes he does but the girls were the only two blondes who looked even remotely similar i could find and they weren't dark skinned, it would have looked faker than fake if i'd photoshopped that effect
so, *shrug* my sanar & ryelle are pale
