Man, with all your artwork, I hope that someday you may have a book about it. Maybe even work for Irregular Books.

Woah, Hyperion fan art?!

Excellent pic of a great scene. The Shrike is hard to make look good (most cover art that I've seen fails to capture its horror), but you succeed admirably.

Most cover art it only seems to have two arms XD

Lordofhjoerring In reply to ??? [2013-12-28 16:23:19 +0000 UTC]

Really great rendition. It stands quite a bit apart from the Shrike artwork I have seen so far. This really makes it look sinister and alien. Coincidentally, I have just read the original cantos again, and am currently reading Endymion. One of my favourite SF's works!

Abiogenisis In reply to Lordofhjoerring [2013-12-29 07:01:13 +0000 UTC]

Its great! I only discovered it this year. I wanted it to look a bit more organic since it was created by a very advanced foe.

Zoxesyr In reply to ??? [2013-12-28 16:11:43 +0000 UTC]

I think this is the first image of the Shrike that I recognized without explanation, and that makes sense from the descriptions in the books.  Fantastic job and wonderful composition!

One of the best Hyperion illustration i've seen so far. This fight with Kassad is one of my favorite part of the book. Thank you so much

Wonderful portrait of these two characters from the Hyperion Cantos. I've always imagined what the shrike might look like if someone painted it...

Very dynamic poses and perspective!
