Great work on Fitz, and I love the way you have Nighteyes included without being there physically!

Me too. They completely changed how I viewed fantasy and made it a lot more accesible to me.

i love these two series! actually read the tawny man one first but i've read them both so many times now i've lost count! this really looks like him, although i always thought of him as looking a little more careworn i guess. love that you've put nighteyes in the background. is that inks you've used?

Yep, simple black felt-tip jobs that you can buy for two bucks at any decent newsagent. I'm still not entirely happy with this one and may redo it yet again in the future.

I've read Farseer Trilogy at least ten times, Tawny Man about five

I think you captured To Badgerlock perfectly and nighteye's eyes are gorgeous...It's really a shame there isn't more fanart on these books. Ah well, This is amazing XD

Robin's books really restored my faith in the worthiness of the fantasy genre.

Poor fitz - he had such a hard life. Love the way you have nighteyes in the background, you've got his face just right. I always see him as being much more battered than that though - with his broken nose and everything.

Moriadat In reply to Cideth [2005-11-04 09:55:46 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. I drew this about a year and a half ago, and I find my mental image of him tends to age with me
If I was to try again, I'd make him a bit bonier, brows and cheekbones more prominent from his many physical deprivations.

Cideth In reply to Moriadat [2005-11-06 11:14:03 +0000 UTC]

I'm exactly the same. Damn it - i'm gonna have to have a crack at drawing him now, have been inspired!

O__O It looks exactly like him....
Wonderful job, best rendition of Fitz I've seen yet.

This is the closest to the novels and the closest to my own personal view of him that anyone has ever come.
You must be so proud?! (I joke, I joke)
Stunning image, the line work is so emotive and pretty damn breath taking and I think you caught a lot of his earthy, stubborn determination.

Moriadat In reply to dendora [2005-10-20 08:50:13 +0000 UTC]

Of course, being an artist, I'm no longer happy with it. But that's par for the course. Thanks for the kind words tho!

Its more difficult to find an artist who does like their work, I think its part of the territory.
But anyways, I enjoyed it greatly so please keep up the good work!

Thanks! As much as I adore John Howe's work on the book covers, I never agreed with his depictions of Fitz at all.
