Just wanted to drop a giant +100 for your Black Company renditions. I've been a fan of the books for years, and some of it is influential in the current novel I'm writing. Your portrayals of the characters are spot on to how I imagine most looking (though I always pictured Raven shorn/bald, though I'm not positive anyone ever described him as such).

The Ten Who Are Taken are all impressive, and Soulcatcher is exactly as Cook described her.

Great work! Be interesting to see your take on the Books of the South and their minions. And, of course: TOADKILLER DOG. :) (Smile)

Always a pleasure seeing art for The Black Company. Your portrayals of the characters are excellent, damn close to how they are described, and they aren't described much in the book so as to leave it mostly to the reader's imagination, but your vision of them just feels, right, somehow. Awesome work man.

I really appreciate that! Yeah, the books are kind of vague, and a lot of what I envisioned from the characters is based on their personalities. I wish I could talk to Glen Cook, and hear what he imagined them all looking like. Maybe some day. Anyway, I am glad you like my interpretation of them!

I am just getting through the Black Company Books. Yu Character renderings I think are probably the most accurate to the stories and personality and descriptions given in the book and the best I have seen around the net. Keep up the wonderful work and keep sharing your art with all of us.

Irontree In reply to RoninRicco [2015-10-20 22:27:25 +0000 UTC]

That means a lot! I put a lot of time into reading and rereading character descriptions in order to accurately depict them. Some character descriptions don't happen til the last few books. Even little bits about Croaker. Anyway, thank you for the great compliment!

I really love your Black company character concepts, I always thought there is not enough fanart that these books deserve, great work!

Thanks! These books are so underrated, and I had to draw the characters. They are so fascinating!

I think good illustrations (like yours) for a book series help that series "gel" with way more fans, than it would have without said illustrations. Thank you!

Sorry to hear that Zeldamotion has been canceled. I really liked the first episode. You're art is fantastic and I'm sad to see SoK end before anything really got posted on DA. All the art makes me more curious as to what the story would have been like.

I appreciate it Unmeimiru. I am sad to let these projects go too. Hopefully I will find additional art for SoK to post, and I may post some of the story outline and stuff in the future. Thanks for the comment!

oh don't mention it man! oh did you get the PM I sent you? (oh if it sounds like i;m mad, i;m not. i;m happy for you man!!) thank you!! Yeah no, I think this si fantasic two guys making two fan made seires, so yours is based of the Manga's? ours is based on the game, trying to make sense of the timelien while adding original stories, so you'll see the orgign of the gerudo, and hints on the Shiekah, and Majora's Mask.

Right on, that sounds pretty cool. I like the idea of the storylines being put together to make a timeline. And yes mine is based off of the manga. Also, I responded to the PM you sent me a while back. I don't know if you recieved it or not.
