Description Here is Fool from Robin Hobb's books.
The idea of this created in my mind because Foll manipulated with fate, with people like marionettes, and he used to make dolls too, so I think it's a great use of this theatre topos in literature I don't really know if anyone noticed this, but I liked this metaphore, theatrum mundi and stuff
So I hope you like this!

And the title... just.. fits here
I used this beautiful floral stock in the background from

VERY good drawing! I like the proportion and the expression, and the shading is very well done, IMHO.

It is hard to find some painting of Beloved who isn't all... how can I say? Shining? I DO think Beloved is a good person, but I also think he can be extremely manipulative. He regrets it, yes, but he still IS. And he is worse as a youngster than he is later on Γ².Γ² This... is in the Mountain Kingom, IMHO

You are improving a lot!^^

Thank you so much

Exacly! I wanted to show him from this side I keep thinking he didn't really chnge his character, but he learned how to hide that he's manipulating This makes me like him even more through.

I'm trying Maybe next time I'll try to experiment more with the textures

I think that he learned to care by being cared for, by Fitz Γ².Γ² if you think of it, in the beginning he didn't searched for Fitz friendship. Fitz just *thought* he did. But Beloved then learns how to And fall in love with Fitz in the process.

He is sincerely attached to, say, Althea or Jek. And he loves Fitz deeply. He admits not wanting to be a White Prophet or Fitz is Catalyst (heartbreaking Γ§_Γ§) because he can't stand anymore the pain that he has to -indirectly- inflict (to Fitz mostly). He isn't like the Pale Woman... He feels guilty. He just *has* to do it.

He is manipulative, but he does regret it Γ².Γ² most people miss the point, but you are right, it makes him more real

I am curious about your experiments!^__^

Well, we get some habits from people we use to spend time with Fitz surely fascinates him

Yes, this makes him more human like, while pale woman just the opposite, makes anything to achieve her goals. I wonder what Fool would do if he had to sacrifice Fitz life? Would he choose to change the fate or save Fitz?

Your drawing is still in process, I promise I'll finish it as fast as I can (I'm realy sorry you have to wait so long... )

Yup. And he is always very surprised when Fitz claims friendship towards him

I think he would tell Fitz and let him choose, you know?
And if Fitz choose to die... I think it would kill him. Litterally.

Oh don't worry! You are incredibly nice to be doing it at all!^^

This looks very much like a foolish fool to mee, hehe. And the puppets is a nice touch, definately a nice metaphor for what he did in his life.

Ahhh, Beloved Fool! <3 He looks rather more... threatening than I generally picture him, but he does have that side, doesn't he? Manipulating the fate of the world? Anyway, I LOVE your textures here and those yummy sleeves. <3

I never really used to think about Fool as a clear as tear person at all I don't even know why, wasn't sure about his motives.
And thank you so much for your opinion
